EditPad Aurora

Windows · Offline · Bought once

Every artist's deepest desire is to be heard.

For most of history the obstacle was resources. Technology has been dismantling that wall for decades.

EditPad Aurora finishes vocal recordings. Load your vocal, load a track whose sound you want, click once.

The instrument

This is it. It doesn't apply a preset — it decides.

It listens to your reference and chooses which microphone character bridges the tonal gap, how much harmonic saturation to add, how much resonance to smooth, what loudness to target — and it can tell you what it chose.

The EditPad Aurora interface: engraved copper, gold and teal controls arranged around a luminous aurora, with LUFS meters either side and analysis panels below.

The wall

Everything that once stood between a song in your head and a record someone could hear.

  • A producer
  • Studio time
  • A mixing engineer
  • A mastering engineer
  • A record label
  • A distributor
  • Your voice
Still standing 07
One gap

AI closed almost every gap. One remained.

A vocal that sits properly inside a finished mix is the part that still sends you back to the studio and the engineer. EditPad Aurora closes it. A clean vocal take. A reference whose sound you want to match. One click. Minutes later you have a mixed, mastered vocal to export straight into your DAW.

01

It finishes your real voice — not a synthetic one.

02

It matches any reference you choose.

03

Your music never leaves your computer.

What this is

EditPad Aurora finishes vocal recordings. One click.

One email when the call opens. Nothing else.

Open call

Ten strangers. Real vocals. Published either way.

Send a vocal you have recorded and the sound you want it matched to. It will be mixed and finished with EditPad Aurora and sent back to you — free, yours to keep, yours to release.

In return, permission to publish the before and after, so other artists can hear what the software does.

Every demonstration in this category is chosen by the person selling the software. So this one isn't.

We're looking for range. Different voices, different genres, different rooms. Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro-soul, R&B, rap, pop, gospel, singer-songwriter — wherever you are and whatever you make. The point is to show what this does across real material, not one narrow slice of it.

What your recording needs to be: a reasonably clean take — a decent microphone, no effects printed, no heavy room. It finishes your vocal; it can't rescue a bad one.

The agreement — please read before signing

Submission Consent and Release · Version 1.0 · August 2026

13012905 CANADA INC., operating as EditPad Aurora. Unit 39, 450 Matheson Blvd East, Mississauga, Ontario, L4Z 1R5, Canada. support@editpadaurora.com

What this is

You are sending us a vocal recording. We will mix and finish it using EditPad Aurora and send it back to you, free of charge.

You keep it. You own it. You can release it commercially. We ask nothing in return except permission to publish the before and after, so other artists can hear what the software does.

This document sets out that arrangement. It is short deliberately. Please read it — by signing you are granting us a permanent right to publish your recording, and you cannot withdraw that permission once we have published.

1. What you are sending us

1.1 Your vocal. A recording of your own voice — the one you want finished. Send whatever you have: a full track or a single section. We will finish and return whatever you send.

1.2 A reference. Either an isolated reference vocal, or a full track from which we will extract the reference vocal ourselves. This is the sound you want your vocal matched to.

1.3 What your vocal needs to be. EditPad Aurora finishes a good recording. It cannot rescue a poor one. Your vocal should be:

  • Recorded with a reasonable microphone
  • Free of printed effects — no reverb, delay, autotune or processing baked into the file
  • Recorded in a reasonably controlled space, without heavy room echo or significant background noise
  • Supplied as an uncompressed file (WAV or AIFF) where possible

If your recording falls below this standard we may be unable to use it, and we will tell you.

1.4 How to send them. When you submit this form you will receive a confirmation email. Reply to that email with both files attached. If your files are too large to email, reply anyway and we will send you an upload link. Please name your files clearly — for example yourname-vocal.wav and yourname-reference.wav.

1.5 What we publish. We publish a short excerpt — around 30 to 45 seconds — chosen by us. The finished version we return to you is the full length of whatever you sent.

2. What you are promising us

By signing, you confirm that:

2.1 You own or control your vocal recording, and you have the full right to send it to us and to grant the permissions in this document.

2.2 You have the right to supply the reference material for the purpose described in Section 4 — technical analysis only.

2.3 No one else has a claim. No co-writer, producer, label, publisher, collaborator or other party holds rights in either recording that would be affected by this agreement, or if they do, you have their permission.

2.4 Neither recording infringes anyone else's rights.

2.5 You are 18 or older, or a parent or guardian is signing with you.

2.6 You accept responsibility for what you subsequently do with the finished vocal we return to you, including any commercial release.

3. What we are giving you

3.1 We will process your vocal through EditPad Aurora and return the finished result to you.

3.2 It is yours. You retain full ownership of your original recording and of the finished version we return. We claim no ownership, no royalty, no share, and no credit.

3.3 You may release it commercially. Distribute it, stream it, sell it, licence it — without payment or attribution to us.

3.4 There is no charge, and you are not obliged to buy anything.

4. The reference — what we do and do not do with it

This section matters, so it is stated plainly.

4.1 The reference material you supply is used solely as a technical analysis input. The software measures its tonal and dynamic characteristics in order to derive processing settings for your vocal.

4.2 No audio from the reference appears in your finished vocal. Nothing is copied, sampled, extracted into, or embedded in the result. The output contains only your voice.

4.3 We will never publish, distribute, share or reproduce the reference material, in whole or in part, in any promotional material or anywhere else.

4.4 We will not identify the reference track in any published material.

4.5 We delete the reference material after processing is complete.

5. What you are granting us

5.1 The licence. You grant 13012905 CANADA INC. a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, publish, display, distribute and communicate to the public:

  • your original vocal recording as submitted, and
  • the finished version produced by EditPad Aurora,

for the purpose of demonstrating and promoting EditPad Aurora, in any medium — including our website, social media, video, advertising and press.

5.2 This is a licence, not a transfer. You keep ownership. We are permitted to show the recordings; you retain every other right.

5.3 What we may publish alongside them. Your name (see Section 6), a short description of your recording setup, the genre, and a technical summary of what the software decided — for example the microphone character selected and the loudness target reached.

5.4 We publish an excerpt. We will normally publish a short section — around 30 to 45 seconds — rather than your full recording, and may present the before and after alongside one another. We will not alter your original recording to make it sound worse. The "before" you hear published is the file you sent us.

6. Your name

6.1 We publish each transformation with the artist's name, because an anonymous recording is indistinguishable from a fabricated one and the credibility of the whole demonstration depends on it.

6.2 You choose how you are credited — your legal name, your artist name, or a first name only. Enter it in the form below.

6.3 If you are unwilling to be identified in any form, we will not be able to include your submission.

7. No withdrawal after publication

7.1 You may withdraw your submission at any time before we publish it, by emailing support@editpadaurora.com.

7.2 Once we have published a transformation, the permission granted in Section 5 cannot be withdrawn. The published material may remain in place permanently.

7.3 This is not intended to be harsh, and the reason is worth stating. These demonstrations are the evidence on which people decide whether to trust this software. An archive that can be dismantled retrospectively is not evidence. Please be certain before signing.

7.4 In genuinely exceptional circumstances — a serious personal reason, a rights dispute you could not have foreseen — contact us. We are not obliged to remove published material, but we will consider it seriously.

8. What we are not promising

8.1 We may not use every submission. We are selecting a limited number for range of voice and genre, and we will tell you if yours is not selected.

8.2 We cannot guarantee a particular result. The software makes decisions based on your recording and your reference; how well it works depends partly on the material.

8.3 We may publish a result that is a partial success, together with an honest explanation — but only with your agreement in advance, and only if we have told you what we intend to say.

8.4 We are not responsible for your recordings. Keep your own copies.

9. Your information

We hold your name, email address and submitted recordings in order to run this campaign and to publish the transformations. We do not sell your information or share it for advertising. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy at editpadaurora.com.

Your audio is processed locally on our own machine. It is not uploaded to any cloud service.

10. General

10.1 This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada. Nothing here limits any non-waivable statutory rights you have where you live.

10.2 If any part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

10.3 This is the entire agreement between us regarding your submission.

Why it exists

I've had the same problem as most independent artists. I had music sitting shelved for years — full tracks, real vocals, songs I believed in, never mixed to a standard I'd release.

Last year I put one of them through an AI music tool, mostly out of curiosity. What came back stopped me. The song was intact — my structure, my arrangement — but alive in a way it had never been. Produced. Finished.

Except the voice wasn't mine.

That was the moment. To get my own vocal sitting inside that mix, at that standard, I was back where I started: book a studio, hire an engineer, wait, pay. The technology had leapt forward and left the one irreplaceable part of the song behind.

So I started building. It began as a playful experiment — could I take my original vocal and make it work inside that mix? Months later it had become an audio engine I'd taught myself digital signal processing to write.

I showed an early version to my eight-year-old son and asked him what Daddy should call it. He said EditPad, without hesitating. I ran with it.

Your voice is the one thing the technology can't give you. This makes it sound like it belongs.
