Its main claim to fame is the way you can use MIDI to adjust your pitch correction, a feature found in a few free plugins. GSnap from GVST is still a solid contender for no-budget plugin users. When free versions of pitch correction plugins emerged, Graham Yeadon was at the forefront. Given that there are 33 other plugins in the package, MAutoPitch is a treasure trove you should check out.
There is a commercial version of MAutoPitch, but the free plugin isn’t crippled in any way, though it doesn’t have all the advanced features that the upgrade has. Being able to dial in wet/dry balance easily gives great-sounding automatic double-tracking (ADT) effects that are a breeze to adjust. Pitch correction has two general modes: subtle error correction and as a special effect, the so-called “T-Pain sound.” MAutoPitch handles both and then some. That it can be mentioned in the same breath as the leaders as a free plugin is impressive. I don’t think MAutoPitch outperforms either of these plugins, but it’s fast and easy to get results. Big-ticket pitch correction packages such Antares Auto-Tune and Melodyne can sometimes take some wrangling to fine-tune.
In fact, ‘simplify’ is perhaps the best way to describe the MAutoPitch approach. What’s more, its interface is one of the most natural and intuitive you’re likely to find in pitch correction software, which by nature is difficult to simplify. One of these, MAutoPitch, is not only a great value at zero dollars, it’s got a few tricks up its sleeve that even the big players in the field don’t have.

Antares Auto-Tune 8īuilding on over 17 years as the overwhelming choice of professional musicians, producers and engineers, Auto-Tune 8 is the new generation of genuine Auto-Tune pitch and time correction. However, recently it’s also been used to correct way off-pitch recordings, and it has two negative effects when used like that - it makes the singer’s voice sound distorted, which sounds bad (unless it’s your goal, and in these cases it isn’t), and it shows that the singer isn’t even consistently capable of approximately hitting the notes. It has been used for quite a long time to correct slightly off-pitch voice recordings, and it’s pretty good at that - most Auto-Tune use you will most likely not hear or detect. Auto-Tune is a program that measures and adjusts the pitch of a recording.
