AI vocals are everywhere. New tools promise instant singers at the click of a button. And for a producer on deadline, that sounds tempting. But let’s ask the real question: who actually gets paid when you use those voices?

In most cases, the answer is nobody. Many AI vocal platforms scrape data, mimic artists without consent, and leave the original singers completely out of the equation. No royalties. No recognition. No respect for the skill, training, and years of work that go into being a professional vocalist.

At Auribus, we refuse to play that game.

The uncomfortable truth about most AI vocals

Here’s what nobody likes to admit. Behind a lot of today’s AI vocal models, there are no contracts, no agreements, and no artists getting compensated. Voices are cloned, datasets are scraped, and entire careers are treated as raw material for tech experiments.

It is cheap. It is fast. But it is not fair. And it reduces human artistry to disposable code.

Why Auribus does it differently

Auribus was built on a different foundation. Every voice you hear in our plugin belongs to a real, professional singer who:

  • Gave explicit consent to be part of the platform.
  • Gets paid fairly every time their voice is used.
  • Remains part of the creative ecosystem, even when they’re not in the booth.

That means when you choose Auribus, you’re not just getting high-quality vocals that sound warm, real, and broadcast-ready. You’re also investing in the people behind those voices — artists who deserve to live from their craft.

Why this matters

Being a singer is not just about having a nice tone. It’s years of vocal training. It’s stamina, discipline, performance skills, and countless hours in the studio. Dismissing that with “AI can replace you” isn’t innovation. It’s exploitation.

And while some may disagree, we believe the future of music depends on keeping artists at the center — not cutting them out. Technology should empower creators, not erase them.

Our fight for fairness

Yes, we know this stance is controversial. Other companies take shortcuts. They skip the contracts, skip the royalties, and flood the market with voices that cost nothing.

But nothing comes free. The cost is human. Every time an artist’s voice is used without consent, the value of professional singing drops. Every time royalties are ignored, careers become unsustainable.

At Auribus, we’re fighting for the opposite. To keep skills, talent, and artistry alive. To make sure singers remain relevant, respected, and rewarded even in an AI-driven world.

The bottom line

So who gets royalties when you use AI vocals?

  • With most platforms: nobody.
  • With Auribus: the artists. Every single time.

And that difference is not just technical. It’s ethical. It’s the line between exploitation and empowerment.

When you create with Auribus, you’re not only getting professional-grade vocals. You’re part of a movement to keep human voices valued, respected, and fairly compensated.
