Gsnap for audacity 2.0.6
Pressing the "Select Scale." button located beside the "Fixed Mode" button brings up a dialog box: There are two modes of pitch correction: fixed scale and MIDI.įixed scale correction has a fixed set of snap-notes, while MIDI correction is controlled in real time by MIDI data.įixed Mode: When this mode is selected, notes are "snapped" to a key of the user's choosing. Once a pitch has been determined, GSnap applies the specified pitch-correction. The default value should be fine in most cases. Lower values for Speed will allow faster pitch-detection but increase the chance of false detection, resulting in sporadic jumps in the audio's pitch. Speed: The Speed parameter sets the number of wave repetitions required for pitch-detection. You should set this so that GSnap ignores background noise. Gate: Any source material at a level below this setting is not considered for tuning. (If in doubt you can just open the Min and Max Freq settings right up). Max Freq: This allows the user to set the highest frequency that will be considered for tuning.Īs with Min Freq, setting this can help the pitch-detection algorithm, making it more efficient and accurate. If you know the lowest frequency that should be encountered, then setting this parameter can make pitch-detection more efficient and accurate. Min Freq: Allows the user to set the minimum frequency, in Hertz, that GSnap will consider for correction. The incoming audio is first processed by this set of controls, which help give GSnap a bit of a break by narrowing down the range of frequencies and sounds that the plug-in has to deal with. This can help the user zero in on problem notes, and also provide a secondary way (the primary being your ears!) with which to gauge GSnap's effect on the source material. The source material appears as a red line graph, and the tuned material a green one. To the left of the controls is a visual representation of the pitch of the source and "tuned" material. MIDI controls determine how GSnap deals with particular MIDI information. The Detection section allows you to fine-tune GSnap's ability to deal with incoming audio.Ĭorrection determines the method and audible effect of the tuning algorithm. The controls are divided into three groups: Detection, Correction, and MIDI. Two further switches allow the user to select between "fixed" or "midi" modes, explained below.

The GUI features a set of 12 knobs which control all of the plug-in's parameters.Įach has its function clearly labelled above, and features a user-editable readout below.Īdditionally, twelve "switches" next to the pitch data view correspond to the twelve semitones of a full octave in the Western chromatic scale, and are used to supplement the "fixed" mode of GSnap. You may find the results even more interesting than that "other" vocal effect! Try feeding GSnap some MIDI information in real-time during a vocal passage. Use the automatic correction with Forced Key to help approximate that famous vocal effect.Īutomate switching between Fixed and MIDI mode for ultimate control: allow GSnap to do its thing automatically for much of the material, and then "take over" for passages or notes that need specific work. GSnap's effect is more useful with simple material.Ĭomplex material with rapid note changes may require several hours of dedicated MIDI programming to deal with, and may still end up sounding less than realistic.
Try GSnap with non-vocal material for interesting effects.

All GVST plug-ins come compressed in a ZIP file, so the first step is to extract the files from the ZIP file.It requires a monophonic input signal to operate.
It can be used subtly to correct the pitch of a vocal, or, with more extreme settings, to create a robot-voice effect.
