Can I edit an AI-generated song after it is made?

Published 31 August 2026

Short answer

Yes. Every Autunes track opens in a waveform editor where you drag to select any passage and then act on it: cut it out entirely (1 credit, instant), re-sing its words (3 credits), generate a variation, split the song into 6 stems, export MIDI, or layer new instruments. No regenerating the whole song to change one part.

The first generation of AI music tools treated a song as final output: if the bridge dragged or one line came out wrong, you regenerated and gambled. The Autunes editor treats a song as a project. One waveform, one selection, and every tool operates on exactly the passage you selected.

The tools, briefly

Drag on the waveform to select any span — the lyrics strip highlights the lines inside it, and clicking a lyric line selects its span right back. Then pick a tool:

  • Cut — remove the selection entirely; the two sides are spliced with a smooth crossfade. Instant, 1 credit, every plan.
  • Lyrics — retype the words for the selected passage and the AI re-sings just that span (3 credits), or run one-click Auto-fix pronunciation on the whole song (Pro+, 20 credits).
  • Variation — a different take of the selection or the whole song, from subtle to reimagined (5 credits per take).
  • Stems — split into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other (from 5 credits).
  • Remix / Cover — re-render the song in a new style, creative or faithful (10 credits, Pro+).
  • Voice — re-sing the track in any voice you upload (8 credits, Pro+).
  • MIDI/FLAC — export the full track or just the vocal melody as MIDI; download the lossless FLAC master (Creator).
  • Layers — take the track into Layer Studio and add instruments one lane at a time (5 credits per layer, Pro+).

Edits are non-destructive

Every edit lands as a new track linked to the original, so you can always A/B against what you started with, and nothing you had is ever overwritten. Uploaded songs get the same treatment — bring any track in through Studio's upload and the full toolset works on it.

Frequently asked questions

Does cutting a section leave an audible jump?

No — the two sides are joined with a short crossfade, so the splice is smooth. Cuts at the very start or end become clean trims automatically.

Do edits degrade the rest of the song?

No. Regeneration-based edits repaint only the selected span, and chained fixes run on lossless audio internally so the untouched audio is not re-encoded over and over.

Can I edit a song I did not make on Autunes?

Yes — upload it in Studio (you confirm you have the rights), and it becomes a track like any other: cuttable, remixable, stem-separable.
