Vocal Tuning & Pitch Correction, Done by Hand

What vocal tuning actually involves

Vocal tuning is note-by-note pitch correction of a recorded performance. Instead of dragging a plugin across the whole track, we open every phrase in Melodyne, correct pitch centre and drift, and shape the transitions between notes so the performance sounds intentional rather than processed.

• —Pitch centre correction on every note, phrase by phrase
• —Drift and sustain control so long notes stay steady
• —Vibrato preserved or reshaped to taste
• —Scoops, slides, and runs kept musical
• —Formant and character checks so the voice never sounds thin

Melodyne, Auto-Tune, or both

Melodyne handles surgical, transparent correction and is our default for singer-songwriter, pop, R&B, and rock performances. Auto-Tune is used when the genre asks for a hard, locked-to-grid sound, common in modern rap and hyperpop. Many tracks use both: Melodyne to fix the performance, Auto-Tune for stylistic colour on top.

How the process works

Pick a package, upload your takes, and tell us the reference sound you want. We tune, check against the instrumental, and deliver tuned WAV stems ready for mixing, along with the Melodyne session notes if you need them.

• —1. Choose a package and upload WAV/AIFF takes or a file-sharing link
• —2. Add notes about style, reference tracks, and how natural you want it
• —3. Receive tuned stems in 48–72 hours
• —4. One revision round included on every order

Who this is for

Independent artists, producers, songwriters, and studios who need release-ready vocals without spending a day inside an editor. If you record fast and want the performance to keep its emotion, hand tuning is the difference between a fixed vocal and a finished one.
