It’s very tempting to wonder about the full version’s features.

If you’re taken with the sound of the free edition, beware. The sound of the pitch shifter is optimized for vocals rather than other instruments, and this seems in evidence with smooth transitions but where Graillon 2 excels is in its voice modification properties. Adding only 23 milliseconds of latency makes it a pitch shifter than can be used during tracking on reasonably fast systems. The free version features pitch shifting and pitch correction, while the reasonably priced full edition adds some extra tools. It may be what you need.Ĭalling itself a live voice changer, Graillon 2 Free Edition from Auburn Sounds is on the special effect side of the fence. Still, with a lean processing engine, it won’t hog resources. For autotune effects, it’s a solid contender, but it’s tricky to subtly correct a vocal track with major pitch swings. GSnap isn’t as flexible as commercial tools and note-by-note editing isn’t a strong point (though the MIDI capability is a workaround). You can use a MIDI keyboard to enter the correct notes of the vocalist’s performance and then use the MIDI notes to guide the pitch correction process. What GSnap does is move this process to post-recording. This is a before-tracking fix that’s only as good as the singer’s note memory. A producer or arranger sits at a piano and plunks out notes for the vocalists, trying to corral errant pitch or wandering harmonies.

It’s an automated way of replacing a common studio scene. 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. Melda Productions offers a 34-effect free bundle that’s a tremendous package, particularly if you’re new to the plugin world.
