Pink Floyd’s touring vocalist is now available for hire by anyone with a DAW. That sentence alone tells you how much the session industry has shifted — and IK Multimedia’s ReSing Session Singers Showcase is betting hard on where it goes next.
The Showcase is a new portal inside ReSing where producers and songwriters can browse, audition, and hire professional vocalists for AI-powered voice transformation. Sessions run for a fixed project duration, cost a one-time fee, and come with full distribution rights — no subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no label gatekeeping.
Durga McBroom Is Not Just a Pink Floyd Name Drop
IK’s headline signing is Durga McBroom, and it’s worth going deeper than the Pink Floyd credit. Her CV includes work with Billy Idol, Kate Bush, Carole King, Brian Wilson, Bryan Ferry, and Marianne Faithfull — plus a hit single of her own as part of Blue Pearl (“Naked in the Rain”). This is a vocalist with genuine range across genres and decades, which matters here: voice transformation is only as interesting as the voice being transformed into.
Her involvement also signals something to other artists sitting on the fence about AI modeling. If someone with McBroom’s career history is in, the consent-and-compensation framework IK has built is evidently credible enough to stand up to scrutiny.
How a Session Actually Works
You pick a voice, pay once, and get a project window to create, release, and distribute freely — with full rights to everything you make. No different in principle from booking a session musician for a recording date, except the booking happens in your DAW at whatever hour inspiration decides to show up.
The catalog now stands at 65 singers and instruments, with this launch adding 7 new professional models. The current roster covers pop, rock, soul, and singer-songwriter territory, and IK says more voices and languages are in development. ReSing Free lets you start immediately with à la carte model selection — lower barrier, which matters when you’re not yet sure a tool fits your workflow.
It’s worth noting that Sound on Sound ran a full review of ReSing in their February 2026 issue, flagging one honest limitation: the tool transforms tone and timbre, but it won’t fix a weak performance. Dodgy pitch in the source vocal stays dodgy in the output. That’s not a criticism so much as a calibration — ReSing is a voice transformation tool, not a performance rescue service.
The Ethics Conversation Has a New Reference Point
IK’s approach here is different from most AI voice tools: every artist in the Showcase recorded their own voice using ReSing’s built-in modeler, opted in knowingly, and gets compensated per session. The artists aren’t an afterthought bolted onto a press release — the whole revenue model routes money back to them each time someone hires their voice.
Compare this to the territory Antares entered with Metamorph, their AI vocal transformation plugin, which also leans into ethically-sourced models via a partnership with Voice-Swap. Two established companies, two different implementation approaches, same underlying tension: how do you build a sustainable AI voice ecosystem without cannibalizing the artists who make it worth using in the first place? ReSing’s per-session payment model is one answer. It won’t satisfy everyone, but it’s a concrete mechanism rather than a statement of intent.

It’s fascinating to see how AI is being integrated into music production in an ethical way. The fact that singers like Durga McBroom are directly involved and compensated per session sets a new standard for AI voice tools. This model feels fair to artists while giving producers and songwriters flexible access to professional vocals without subscription lock-ins. It could really democratize high-quality session singing for independent creators.
