Part 7: Get That Perfect Pitch: Using AutoPitch (Autotune) in BandLab!






Welcome back to the BandLab series! In this installment, we're diving into a powerful tool for vocal production: AutoPitch, BandLab's built-in version of Autotune. AutoPitch can be used for subtle pitch correction or more dramatic, stylized vocal effects. Let's explore how to use it effectively.

What is AutoPitch?

AutoPitch is an audio effect that automatically corrects the pitch of vocal performances. While it's often associated with the "Autotune" sound popularized in various genres, it can also be used subtly to smooth out minor imperfections and create a more polished vocal track.

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

    • Robot: For a robotic vocal sound.

Tips for Using AutoPitch Effectively:

  • 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.
