Gsnap – Windows Only

GSnap

GSnap is a Free VST Plugin that has a simple user interface with the required features of a pitch correction plugin. Gsnap is one of the coolest pitch correction plugins mainly because of the MIDI feature it brings to the table.

If you do not want to draw out the MIDI, you can simply set the plugin to the key of the song and correct the pitches from the plugin.

Autotalent – Linux OS

Autotalent

Autotalent by Oli Larkin and Tom Baran is a free pitch-correction VST plugin. It is pretty straight forward and doesn’t have so many features but does the job. You set your scale for the vocals and let the vocal pass through the plugin with an autotuned effect.

It can produce a subtle autotune effect to a chipmunk effect. I tried this plugin, it’s pretty good for a free plugin but doesn’t produce a great quality sound.

If you are just playing around or want to achieve a different kinda effect on the vocals then it’s a good plugin. If you are like me and would want a plugin that actually has great quality and it’s free then check out MAutoPitch.

Features:

  • Easy to use
  • Supports only Linux
  • Real-time Pitch Correction
  • Can also be used as a Pitch Shifter

The unique feature of this plugin is called “nuance” which basically gives an option whether you want to keep the vocal’s natural vibrato or not.

KeroVee has a visual representation of the output which makes it easier for you to see while you tune. You can achieve a robotic sound or even a subtle autotune effect with this plugin.

  • Pitch correction
