01Overview

Vocal Tuner is built for tracking and mixing vocals in real time. Its Subtle/Hard slider controls how quickly pitch is corrected, and its Natural/Robotic slider sets how much correction is applied to note transitions. Pitch and formant shifting can be set independently or linked, and octave up and octave down layers can be blended with the corrected vocal to create a fuller ensemble sound. A Low Latency setting is included for live and tracking situations.

Classic and Modern Pitch Correction Methods

Vocal Tuner offers two pitch correction methods. The Classic method delivers the traditional automatic pitch correction sound. The Modern method uses a more advanced pitch-shifting algorithm designed to preserve the formants of the vocal while tuning, which helps keep the voice sounding natural.

The Subtle/Hard slider controls the speed of correction, so you can move from transparent tuning to an obvious hard-tuned effect.

Effects, Tone Enhance and Low Latency Tracking

Beyond correction, Vocal Tuner includes independent or linked pitch and formant shifting, plus octave up and octave down layers with individual gain controls. The Tone Enhance slider adds dynamic processing and equalization after pitch correction to make the vocal sound more polished.

For tracking and live performance, the Low Latency setting reduces the reported latency of the plugin to under 1 millisecond. Precise metering shows how the processing affects the input signal.
