Can I upload my own song and remix or cover it with AI?

Published 31 August 2026

Short answer

Yes. Autunes Studio has an Upload a track button — MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or OGG up to 50MB. The upload becomes a normal track in your library, so everything works on it: Remix (creative) or Cover (same melody, new style), stem separation, section edits, cutting, and Layer Studio. Vocals in your upload are preserved in covers — the AI transcribes and re-sings them rather than dropping them.

Plenty of tools generate AI music from scratch; far fewer let you bring your own audio and work on it. On Autunes, uploading is a first-class door into the whole toolset — the upload becomes a track in your library, indistinguishable from a generated one as far as the tools are concerned.

Go to Studio, hit Upload a track, pick the file and confirm you have the rights to use it. The file goes straight from your browser to storage — up to 50MB, ten minutes of audio.

Remix vs Cover — two presets, one engine

Open your uploaded track in the editor and pick the Remix tool. Two presets set the intent: Remix reinterprets creatively — new arrangement, new energy, your track as inspiration. Cover stays faithful — same melody and structure, new style, like a band covering the song in their own genre.

A detail most tools get wrong: your vocals survive. If your upload has singing and you do not provide new lyrics, Autunes transcribes what is sung and covers those words, instead of silently returning an instrumental.

Beyond remixing

The same uploaded track can be split into six stems (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, other), trimmed and cut on the waveform, extended with new instrument layers in Layer Studio, or re-sung in a different voice. If you only ever use Autunes to process audio you already have, the editor alone is worth the trip.

  • Formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG — up to 50MB / ~10 minutes
  • You must own the audio or have rights to modify it
  • Remix/Cover: 10 credits (Pro+) · Stems: from 5 credits · Cut: 1 credit

Frequently asked questions

Will a cover keep the original singer's words?

Yes — if you leave the lyrics box empty, Autunes transcribes the sung words from your upload and the cover sings them. Tick Instrumental if you explicitly want no vocals.

Can I upload copyrighted songs?

Only if you hold the rights. Uploading requires confirming ownership or permission, and infringing uploads can be removed.

Does uploading cost credits?

No — uploading and storing the track is free. You spend credits only when you run tools on it.
