I'm kind of a new user to Mixcraft and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to add Auto-Tune Access (I'm assuming as a plug-in). So what I've done is gone to the plug-in preferences - Edit VST/VSTi Folders - then chosen auto tune within a couple different folders (also auto key which I am also trying to add), however neither of them will appear in the plug ins or effects.

I posted a gigantic list of free VST plugins two weeks ago, the post was awesome, and I am glad you guys loved it.

On this page, you will find a list of ten best free and paid autotune VST plugins you can download and use for free in your various Daw Software.

Before you start tweaking the knob on various autotune plugins, I think we should understand the basics of what autotune VSTS does, if you have an idea about that, skip this section, and if you are a newbie just getting into knowing how things work first, then continue reading.

What is an Auto-Tune?

Autotune is an audio processing VST that is used to correct an inaccurate pitch in vocal tracks or perhaps used to modify or alter pitch in performances, music instruments, and or vocals.

In a simple term, It is used for automatically tuning an off-key or off-pitch sequence, allowing vocal tracks to be perfectly tuned.

When You Should use Auto-Tune

As a singer, you would notice that when you try to sing outside of your comfortable range (range of notes you are physically capable of producing), you sing out of tune.

In this case, you might want to use an autotune plugin to fix that, if necessary. Also, you might use the tool, if you struggle to record multiple takes.

Note: Do not use an autotune plugin on too plenty of pitchy vocals; The best thing to do in this scenario is to take a lesson and practice to sing better.

In my opinion, you do not necessarily have to use an auto-tune plugin on vocal if it sounds great and less pitchy, this is just a preference!

Auto-tune can also be used on a wide load of sounds from an instrument, to getting a type of effect (T-pain effect), enhancing vocal expressiveness, and so on.

Let’s count down from the good to the best!

10) KeroVee (Free)

This is a pitch correction VST plugin tool and has strengthened to support natural pitch correction.

This tool is handy and can perform different and various types of voice effect, for example, a conversion of the male voice to a female voice and vice versa.

KeroVee comes bundled with useful parameters for the effectiveness of the auto-tuning process, Parameter includes:

• Scale Button: This is for specifying the scale you want to tune. Setting a wrong scale would result in an awful result, in a simple sentence, Know your scale before you go into this one
• TuneSpeed: This will allow you to set the speed of correcting the pitch.
• Nuance: This is one of the best and lovely parameters, you can use this to set a fine vibrato of the original sound, use this to create all sorts of weird effects.
• Amount: Set to zero (0) if you want no correction, setting to 100 will result in full correction of the pitch
• and many more parameters like Transpose option, master volume, etc.

GSnap was designed to automatically detects when a voice is pitchy, that is, when a note is off-key, it would indicate red, and when in tune, it would indicate green, interesting!

However, if you want to achieve a not to perfectly tuned voice, I would suggest you use it with subtle settings.

Extreme settings can create sounds like famous Daft-Punk, T-pain, or Char effects, if this is what you are looking for, go with this setting.

It’s the end of the month, and your bank account is empty…

…again.

Oops.

And as much as you might feel like buying that new Waves plugin…

(You’ve had your eye on it for months, right?)

It’s probably not a good idea.

But if you’re still looking to expand your plugin library, don’t worry.

Sometimes, the best things in life are free…

Here are 7 of my favorite free plugins. Each of them offers something new and unique (no boring EQs or compressors). Download them all to extend your sonic palette and ultimately, craft better-sounding tracks.

And if you’re looking to dive deeper, I also put together a list of five plugins I use on every mix. If you’re wondering which plugins I recommend, download the list below to make sure you’ve got my top tools for the job.

1. iZotope Neutrino

Neutrino is the baby brother of Neutron—iZotope’s newest channel-strip plugin. While Neutron has a number of innovative features, Neutrino spins off the best of them.

Neutrino tames undesirable resonances caused by poor room acoustics, cheap gear, and heavy-handed processing. iZotope calls the effect “spectral shaping,” and it can sound similar to gentle, low-ratio multiband compression. This can make tracks sound smoother and more polished—like sanding the rough edges off a freshly cut piece of wood. I find Neutrino particularly useful on electric guitar tracks, which often have lots of harsh resonances.

2. Voxengo SPAN

People say “don’t mix with your eyes.”

Meh.

The truth?

Tools that provide visual feedback, when used properly, can help you make better mixing decisions.

A spectrum analyzer is one of these tools. It plots the frequencies of sounds out on a graph, which allows you to “see” what tracks are comprised of.

SPAN is my favorite spectrum analyzer. You can control the ballistics and response of its graph, which makes it flexible enough for a wide variety of tasks. You can even route multiple tracks into SPAN and compare their frequency content.

(P.S. Voxengo has a few other free VST plugins. They’re worth checking out too, but SPAN is my favorite.)

3. Brainworx bx_solo

Bx_solo is a no-frills, stereo-imaging plugin. While it’s the least sexy of this bunch, it can still be pretty useful.

I like to add bx_solo to my mix bus. While I rarely push the stereo width past 100%, collapsing it to zero is an easy way to check for mono compatibility. The mid and side solo buttons are also useful. It’s great to have this one around—you never know when you might need it!

4. HOFA 4U Project Time

Mixing is a race against time.

The more time you spend on a mix, the more attached you become to what it sounds like. This makes it progressively harder to make good mixing decisions. Given enough time, even the worst mix will start to sound decent.

This is one reason I recommend mixing quickly and impulsively. You’ll get to the finish line faster, retain more objectivity, and ultimately, craft better mixes.

The first step towards more efficient mixing is to track how much time you spend doing it. Without this information, it’s easy to get lost in a black hole of endless tweaking.

Project Time makes this easy. Add it to a track, and it will start counting. The timer automatically stops when you close the session, and starts when you open it up again.

Keep an eye on Project Time, and you’ll train yourself to mix faster and more efficiently. It’s also an invaluable tool if you bill by the hour!

5. MeldaProduction MFreeFXBundle

MeldaProduction makes some great plugins. They’ve earned the praise of many notable engineers, including mastering guru Ian Shepard.

The MFreeFXBundle contains 30 free VST plugins. They range from workhorse tools like a compressor and EQ, to less common effects like a ring modulator, flanger, and oscilloscope.

If you’re looking to fill some holes in your plugin library, this is a great place to start.

6. Flux BitterSweet

BitterSweet is among the best transient shapers out there. It can produce results on par with studio mainstays like SPL’s Transient Designer and Waves’ Trans-X.

Autotune Plugin For Mixcraft 8

This simple plugin can achieve a wide variety of effects. Turn the knob to the right to add punch to drums, enhance the pluck of an acoustic guitar, or boost the consonants in a vocal performance. Turn the knob to the left to soften tracks and push them back in the soundstage.

7. iZotope Vinyl

Sometimes a little crackle is a good thing.

Autotune Plugin For Mixcraft 8

Vinyl will make tracks sound like they’re being played on a turntable. You can vary the intensity of the effect by controlling the volume of different types of noise, the degree of wear and tear, and the decade your sound is from. The results range from subtle filtering to Edison phonograph.

This plugin is great for special effects, like filtering down a vocal or making an intro sound tiny.

Moving Beyond Free Plugins: My Favorite Plugins
