Members Bob Doom Posted June 11, 2021 Members Share Posted June 11, 2021 Ok.... yeah, I know... but is there another forum this is better suited for? In any event, here's my deal... I haven't recorded vocals in about 10 years and I'm super rusty. I'm doing this satirical collection of covers just to entertain my coworkers but I'm just not quite good enough to pull it off. Like I can sing in my natural voice, but this is more like Will Farrell's Robert Goulet voice and I have trouble controlling my pitch. Years ago, I had an early version of melodyne and it was awesome but that computer and program are long gone. I admittedly tried downloading a free version and my computer stopped a virus from opening... not great. So here's where I'm at. I can get pretty close with this voice but it misses the mark just enough to cringe... but this isn't a paid gig or a serious project, so I neither want to invest too much time/effort into my performance... and I don't wanna pay hundreds of dollars to sell a joke to a few friends. What's out there? Is there an old version of melodyne that'll work on Windows 10 that I can get for free? Is there a stripped down copy cat pitch correction program that works well enough.... and doesn't cost anything? I'd love to do this simple fix just to get over the finish line... without spending anything if possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melodyne 5.1 y'know, all I did was copy and paste your line 'melodyne that'll work on Windows 10' into google and I got this: https://www.celemony.com/en/melodyne/editions-and-technical-matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FelipeCarvalho Posted June 14, 2021 Members Share Posted June 14, 2021 Reaper has a pitch correction tool that you can pretty much use for free, not as powerful as other tools but should be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators davie Posted June 17, 2021 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2021 As Felipe said, the Reaper built-in pitch correction plug-in 'ReaTune' should be good enough for you to get by. Another better but fairly affordable plug-in would be Waves Tune or Tune LT, they usually have them on sale for around $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
