This time on bpb Freeware Studio, we’re covering the best free pitch correction (Auto-Tune) plugins for Windows and Mac.
Follow the links for screenshots & download info:
- GSnap by GVST (Windows)
- KeroVee by g200kg (Windows)
- MAutoPitch by MeldaProduction (Mac, Windows)
GSnap was the first freeware alternative to Auto-Tune, it’s a well-made, solid plugin with a nice set of features. Not too hard to use, but setting it up for the fist time can be a bit overwhelming. A Warbeats tutorial on using GSnap is embedded below in this article.
KeroVee is another solid free pitch correction plugin. It was recently updated with an improved pitch correction algorithm and a neat Pitch Graph.
MAutoPitch looks like a very useful plugin, although I still haven’t had the chance to properly test it. It’s fully automatable, optimized for low CPU usage, and features a nice, clean-looking user interface.
Another alternative which isn’t listed above but is wort checking out is Tom Baran’s Autotalent, available in LADSPA plugin format for Linux, Mac, and Windows. It can be used for offline pitch correction in Audacity.
So that’s all for today, have fun mixing and please don’t go all T-Pain with these freebies!
Also, please share this article (you can do that easily by using the buttons below) and support BPB by spreading the word on your favorite forums and social networks. Thanks and happy mixing!

great info. I know alot of artists that would kill to know this information. good post.
love the reviews, a great daily read. Good job, keep it up!
cheers Synth Lover, much appreciated!

Just played around with KeroVee, AND DAMN THAT IS ONE AWESOME THING!!!
You can create some really cool house vocals with that, or totaly fresh up that dirty south hook!
KeroVee blew me away, first thing tomorrow, i’m gonna record some lines, and make some skrillex-house!!!
Great stuff! Ever wondered why singers are changing words like every, there, and air into errr? Pretty funny. Check this video out. http://youtu.be/-9MZfxHbKIE
That video was…..terrible
Help!!!!!!!!!!!! Its Not Showing Up In Pro Tools
That Tutorial is by ste1438
GOD bless u Ste ;-)
If you use Linux check out Zita at1. It has a simple interface and performs well. It is stand alone but works well with the insert on DAW apps such as Ardour.
wow, that Zita at1 is amazing. very artifact-less!! thanks for the pointer
When I use de GS, I record some song, and enter ont he pluging.
It doesn’t show to me the graphic, on the side of the piano boards. I can’t raise or lower a tone there, because there no grafic/waves to move.
I’m missing some button or option?
Its a shame Reaper’s ReaTune is not included in their free bundle. Its the only non-commercial pitch correction plug-in including those listed above that includes a MANUAL mode. Manual mode is absolutely necessary if you want natural sounding pitch correction… you know… for when vocals need to be in tune. Auto modes are only good for the silly and over used T-pain effect. Unfortunately all the plugs listed above are useless for basic, invisible pitch correction.
I found mAutoPitch to be incredibly good if you are after transparent correction of slight pitch variations. Very similar in operation to the automatic pitch correction that is built into Cubase. I highly recommend it.
Hi, Can we open this software directly or we need to have the other audio software to open or use that?
you’ll need a VST plugin host. a good one is Podium Free. you’ll find more free alternatives here:

Their site says;
Autotalent is an open-source LADSPA plugin and should in theory work on Linux, Mac or Windows if you compile it for those platforms, although Autotalent v0.2 has only been tested on 64-bit Linux. (Autotalent v0.1 had been tested on 32-bit Linux.)
So has anyone ever compiled it for use as a VST in Windows. It looks cool. Thanks!
