How To Set Up Autotune In Fl Studio
Theodora Glime
Its pitch correction module is efficient and easy to use, earning Graillon 2 the number one spot on the autotune freebie list. It is compatible with all digital audio workstations on Windows and macOS.
The developer recently released an updated version of Graillon 2. It features a resizable user interface (you can set it to any size between 75% and 200%), increasing compatibility with different screen sizes.
This free autotune effect is flexible and easy to operate, with adjustable speed, range, scale, and depth. The added stereo widening feature can be helpful in a vocal processing chain, but double-check your mix in mono when using it.
Aside from those few drawbacks, MAutoPitch is a brilliant free autotune VST that could quickly become your go-to pitch correction tool. Like Graillon 2, it is compatible with all PC and Mac VST and AU plugin hosts.
GSnap is an old freeware autotune plugin. It was the first free autotune VST on the market. Pitch correction software was still somewhat of a rarity back in the day when GSnap was released.
Regarding its features and design, GSnap is still a fantastic pitch correction tool. At first look, it looks pretty similar to Graillon 2 and MAutoPitch. One excellent feature that sets it apart is the ability to tune the processed audio signal according to the MIDI notes on the input.
Unlike Graillon 2 and MAutoPitch, GSnap will only work on Windows-based systems. It does come with a very well-written manual, though. The instructions are worth reading if you want to use GSnap as your go-to free autotune effect.
Although Voloco is available as a VST3 and AU plugin on desktop operating systems, it is primarily used on iOS and Android. The app version of Voloco is easily the best free autotune for mobile devices.
Although more of a pitch shifter than a pitch correction plugin, another interesting vocal processing tool is the excellent Little AlterBoy by Soundtoys. For complete control over the pitch correction process, try using Waves Tune.
Duran Duran, not my faves (back then I was into VH and Scorpions), but hey they were playing some heavy number that was cool and very unusual. Then they went into a classic "Say A Prayer"...Mr. LeBon's voice, great intonation, fantastic tone whaaa ?? I've seen them live on other occasions in the early days and his singing was DREADFUL.
I've always had a special place for Duran Duran though. I love that a band that visual and image conscious can still be completely homegrown, play all their own instruments, and write their own songs.
While I don't normally put "voice training" and "Simon LeBon" in the same sentence, I'd be willing to wager there's a good bit of simply having developed into the job, for him. After all, he joined the band by answering an ad in the paper that advertised needing a "frontman for a poser band" where vocal skills weren't the highest priority.
I saw a documentary on Duran Duran, and it showed him doing an hour of rather difficult-sounding vocal warm-ups before recording, for whatever that's worth - and he was doing them quite well. He apparently does this all the time. He sounded really good doing these difficult exercises (although I suppose it's possible that the film crew had AutoTune! ).
Never was a Duran fan, but it's interesting: I've seen quite a few 80's bands recently who are as good or better than they were 20-25 years ago. And many of em seem like they're having a better time and look better/healthier.
I think a lot of those bands were pretty screwed up on coke in those days which also made them have unbearable attitudes. Now that they're a bit older and have cleaned up it seems they're better than "back in the day."
I have seen them live three (or four) times.... and I can definately say that there is a magic with the old line up together. But... the line up with Warren Cucarillo (sorry for the spelling) and the studio drummer was by far the best musicianship they had.
I was sorry to see the reunion, though. While it's great to have John back on bass (amazing player), Warren Cuccurullo was a much stronger guitar player than Andy -- after all, Warren came from the Zappa camp and then Missing Persons.
Not a big fan myself, but didn't LeBon overcome throat surgery and have to learn to sing all over again? I believe this occurred between the Duran Duran heyday and the reunion (I'm guessing the 90's).
The last time I saw Duran Duran in concert I was sitting in second row center with all these gyrating chicks around me. Simon took a giant swig of water and spit it all over the first four rows of people. My wife was wiping off the spit wa and rubbing it all over herself.
I think the singer for Duran Duran sang wonderfully in the 80s considering the number of problems sound companies faced due to the lack of technology. It's no surprise that they sing even better nowdays. But I dont see a crime in the use of Autotune. I use it in the studio and it quickly becomes your best friend when someone can't sing on key. There are alot of great "sounding" singers who can't stay on key. It'a all about having a good time and letting your ears enjoy the music. Autotune makes sure that happens, not to mention the added "effects" that is possible LIVE.
Autotune has a slight imperfection though that gives it away. Because it can only travel the scale like a keyboard you end of with a "technical" singer effect. That's perfectly acceptable nowdays. It can make an se mi-pro sound like they have master control and placement. But anyone who uses the plug-in would recognize it anywhere.
I recognized on AOL Sessions with Motley Crue before they started touring. I can't remember which song it was , maybe Girls Girls Girls. At the end of the song Vince Neil starts yelling out vocal runs and you can hear the Autotune move incorrectly across the scale. That is due to VERY poor singing. Of course he's well known for hitting sour notes.
Not to derail the topic too much, but I have been geting a ton of requests for Rascal Flatts, so I decided to check them out. It's my opinion that there isn't a single vocalized note that hasn't been corrected. And the fact that it's so obvious makes me want to find the engineer and lock him outof the studio. If Duranx2 is using it, it's obviously more subtle, so keep going! That's what effects are supposed to be, right?
I know what you mean; sometimes it's hard to tell when AT is being used, but over time overt use of processing may be more apparent to the listening public. One current album I'd recommend is Beirut's Gulag Orkestar. It's really obvious that they used minimal effects, if any, on the vocals. The performances are real -- oh, and the songs are good too.
o/t Right now my voice teacher is making me re-create Beach Boys harmonies; boy is that tough! I have the thing slowed down in Ableton Live and am amazed at how tight they were. Of course I can hear some of their "imperfections" if you want to call it that (scooping, timing issues and all that) but that's after I've listened to it zillions of times.
Simon alway seems to suck for the first two songs.... not really bad, but usually a couple noticable flat notes. Last time they were on VH1 one of the songs was notorious, and it actually sounded better than the album.
I'm a big duran duran fan, and i can tell you that he has just become a much better singer than he used to be. the newer album however is pretty much crap, and just feels like they are holding back a bit.

Originally intended for the subtle nudging of slightly off-tune performances into place, artists like T-Pain and Cher largely popularized the extreme use of the tool to give vocals that classic hard tuned effect that we know so well in modern pop.
Very, very few artists receive no help from pitch correction (Adele and Billie Eilish are examples). In fact, these days, not only is it NOT shameful to make use of these tools, listeners are used to listening to perfected performances, so you can actually be holding your record back by not making use of these tools. It then comes down to a matter of taste whether to be subtle or heavy-handed with tuning.
While this is an article about the 8 best autotune plugins, we had to list some of our favorite tips to make sure your vocals sound killer. In the Hyperbits Masterclass, we go much deeper into vocal tuning, but again, here are some tips to get you started.
The groundbreaking software that introduced graph mode to vocal editing, Melodyne has become the standard tool in most studios for surgical pitch correction. With the higher tier versions, you can even work with multitrack editing, making working with large vocal productions tremendously easier.
New to Melodyne 5, the software will automatically detect atonal information such as esses and consonant sounds and leave them untuned, saving lots of time from when this had to be done manually to avoid artifacts (audible glitches as a result of the pitch being shifted).
Most big-name DAWs these days have tuning options included as stock options, though they will not perform nearly as well as some of the options listed above (excluding the aforementioned Variaudio). They are however great practice, and while they require a bit more finesse to get great results from, capable of creating release ready vocals.
