  1. Create a Voice/Audio Track: Start by adding a voice or audio track to your BandLab project. How do I use AutoPitch?

  • Key and Scale are Crucial: Ensure the correct key and scale are selected. If you're unsure, try using BandLab's Auto Detect Key feature.
  • Experiment with Presets: Don't be afraid to try different presets to see what works best for your vocal style and the desired sound.
  • Listen Carefully: Always listen critically to the processed vocal in the context of your mix. Overuse of AutoPitch can sound unnatural.
