In this video, we’ll talk about pitch correction. We’ll discuss the differences between extreme auto-tuning (the "T-Pain" effect) and more transparent pitch correction. By the end of this video, you’ll know how to use REAPER’s built-in ReaTune plugin to correct the pitch of a single note OR an entire track.

Wait so i was about to buy Wavetune when i had this the whole time.
I love how straight-forward and natural this plug-in works. I've had Reaper for years and still discovering new wonders like this stock plug-in.
I worked on a project where I had to comp the vocals to some takes that were not the best for excitement and intensity yet I had to go with those because the more energetic ones were somewhat off tune. Now I wish I'd used this baby, but I'll know what to do next time I'm in a similar situation.
Thanks for this clear and informative video!
Thanks for watching! REAPER has lots of hidden gems. Cheers!
Never knew ReaTune was so simple. I'm only starting now to look at vocal stuff to add to instrumental tracks and this is just too cool.
This was incredibly easy to follow and taught me a lot! thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful. Cheers!
I love how clear precise and straight to the point you are brother! New subscriber
I am currently a student at FSW state college. Seeking an AS in Audio Recording & Technologies. Began the course learning ProTools. However, Hurricane IAN caused so much damage to the school building it has forced us to shift over to learning Reaper until the school building is repaired and we can assume in person classes. I am extremely impressed with Reaper. I have enjoyed learning this software and particularly working with video projects using it. While I still prefer to learn ProTools, as it is an Industry standard, I will likely be using REAPER at home. It is an intuitive program and makes using it, fun. I encourage everyone who may be seeking a good program for home studio and DIY work, to choose Reaper. You wont be sorry. Plus, most of the techniques you might know from other programs, can more than likely be applied to Reaper. Trust me. Its worth the effort.
This tutorial was really good and very helpful. Thanks a bunch, man!
You have the sweetest voice in the world. You seem like such a nice person. Thank you for this
I have found that I can also use auto tune in Reatune then flip on manual and correct only the notes that auto did not get. Still not exactly on pitch for all of the notes, but easier than using manual all the way thru. I don't think it used to work like that. Also thanks for reminding me to change from 250 downward. That helps.
I've used Reaper for ages but i have to be honest, i've never used this great plugin !! Kudos for sharing !!
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
Great tutorial for ReaTune! Thanks for putting this up, I'm off to apply this to my own vocal tracks now :)
Damn!! I've always used this strictly to tune my guitar!! No idea you could do this!! This is better than g snap!! THANKS!!!!!!!
Thanks for a great tutorial, and that song sounds great too!

Very cool! Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to try this
Just got over my anti-autotune rebellion. It's not my original pitch if i use it, but it sounds better, Ha! Thanks for the walkthrough.
Wow, amazing! Never knew Reaper had this and it was so easy and effective to use!
I love the t-pain autotune you gave to your voice at the end lol, thx for the vid
I'm glad you liked that. :) Thanks for watching!
Explained in great detail! Thank you so much!!
Thanks man! Great tuner for vocal and solo instruments
Just tried out Reaper and this vst out! So freakin impressed! It actually sounds better than Sonar x3!
Awesome! I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching!

hey thanks man..,glad i found ur channel...
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Great tutorial.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Omg this helped me so much thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tutorial!
I would've enjoyed watching a ReaTune demo fixing a tone deaf singer.
Thanks for watching!
thank you good sir!
good video. have to say I like this plugin better than Cubase's built in functioning.
I want to hear the full song! ☺👍
Nice song. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, thanks!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Amazing! How do you zoom in and out on all the tracks? I am on a PC.
In Manual correction what if i want to erase my correction because i made a mistake on the note, How do I do it?
+Julio Angelo Select the correction you want to delete by clicking on it, then hit the delete key on your keyboard. That will remove that correction. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, thank you
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
i laughed so hard when you said "T-Pain" effect, im sure soon they will come up with Kanye West effect.
Excellent and clear demonstration. But if I make any tempo changes to my song, or ripple edits, this ReaTune timeline will need to be completely reconstructed. Any way around that?
Thanks for watching! You can get around this by applying the FX directly to the audio item. Click on the audio item you want to tune, and press Shift+E (or right click and choose "Take > Show FX chain for active take"). You can add FX directly to the audio item that way. You should be able to move that item around, and the FX applied this way will stay with the item. Cheers!
What if you want to tame wild vibrato, or just bring a wobbly note into line a little more without it being dead straight?
Thanks for a very interesting tutorial. Does the voice to be tuned have to be completely isolated within its own track? Would Reatune be able to operate on the voice if there was some bleed into the vocal track from other instruments?
Thanks!
How do you remove the blue line you draw? IF you add a line but then decide it's not right? How do you get rid of it?
thank you!
Which reaper plugins would you recommend for vocals, drums, bass and synth?
Question. Do you ever have issues when you Solo a track with a VST effect and it gets "crackly" until you restart Reaper?
seems you need more cpu and ram...
Do you suggest correcting vocals with reatune first then melodyne?
There, 1k likes ;) It was just sitting there on 999 ;) Awesome tutorial, thank you so much!
Hi,
I'm wondering why (if the harmony is basically, or mostly parallel 3rds that you don't transpose the whole track or section (which should sound more natural) then fix the problems with major and minor thirds to match the key. so you' d repair less notes. I'd try transposting a major 3rd, and a minor third and see which one requires less repair. Without trying it my guess would be that the minor third transposition might be "better" and require less moving of individual notes.
thank you!!!
Quick question, how did you get the layout all colorful? I'm purchasing reaper soon and this was the coolest theme I've seen.
Thanks for watching! I'm using the default REAPER theme. I've coloured my tracks by right-clicking on the track, and choosing "Track Color - Set track to custom color" option! You can see in this video how and why did it: ua-cam.com/video/VKjsc1Q_OYU/v-deo.html
Great Video!!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Yo, man. Could you give me a little help ?
I'd like to record a song for my girlfriend... Already wrote the lyric, got the beat but I'm having some problem with my vocal...
I know it sucks but audacity makes it really worse than it is...
Now I'm trying to use this REAPER. Do you have any other tutorials working with vocals?
i'll record a RAP song and need some help to improve the vocal ;s
Obs: I use windows and I do not have an Interface Audio
Thanks for watching! I certainly recommend trying out REAPER. There's a 60 day free trial, so you have nothing to lose.
As for improving your voice, there's only so much the software can do. If you want to improve your voice check out Eric Arceneaux's channel: ua-cam.com/users/EricArceneaux
If you sing in tune and in time but the recording sounds bad, you need to spend some money on an audio interface and a mic. If you spend just $200 on those two items, you'll notice a huge difference in the sound of your recordings.
Check out these videos for some introductory info on microphones and audio interfaces:

Microphone Basics - ua-cam.com/video/SZxN9t8T1co/v-deo.html
Best of luck!
Hey this is awesome! But how do you remove one of those blue lines? I messed up once but the rest sounds good, so I only want to remove one blue line. thanks!
Click the line (or one of its nodes), then press Del/Delete on the keyboard
Nice video!!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Freaking Awesome Man!!!!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
sir how about auto correction is that function well?
How can I fix the pitch after overdubbing my voice sounds deeper on that take like its two different people
Hay there quick question easy question for the one who would know ..
what level would one record a vocal at is it 18 db
and do we than normalize to check level ? and then where is a good level
does one then do the mastering track after the normalize
and what is a good limiter setting in the master
You see I use karaoke tracks in reaper because you have amazing tutorial on reaper
and i sing along in reaper with my own vocal
now what is the best level to record along the karaoke track .
do I than normalize as in the previous question and is it the standard item processing normalize
or the normalize item common gain ?
or do we normalize the master track.
thousands of videos on you tube not one covering this in clarity
and to many just want like say ask and I will answer they dont .
you appear to be my last hope to a question on this
appreciate reply
Warmly Johannes
possibly a tutorial on doing karaoke tracks would be great would it nod
for all us music lovers
I want to hear the whole track pls
Hi. Thanks for the video. Does ReaTune do all that Melodyne does? I want to buy Melodyne to work with Reaper, but if ReaTune does all the job it wouldn't be necessary. What's your opinion? Thanks
Thanks for watching! ReaTune is not a replacement for Melodyne. Melodyne does more than just tune notes. Using Melodyne you can adjust vibrato, timing and volume of individual notes, as well as separate pitch from timbre. However, before you go out and buy Melodyne, try doing as much correction with ReaTune as you can. You might be surprised at how well it works! I own Melodyne, but I often try correcting tuning issues with ReaTune first. Cheers!
Is there something wrong with my ReaTune? Should I re-Record louder vocals? Because when I click manual correction no lines appear just dots.
Thanks for watching! ReaTune is likely fine. It sounds like ReaTune is having a hard time catching the pitch of the notes you're trying to tune. This can happen if there's too much background noise on the vocal track. If you continue to have problems, I recommend posting on the REAPER forum (forum.cockos.com/). There are lots of helpful people there. Cheers!
nice demo , what theme are you using how did you get colors in the track panel?
Thanks! I'm using the V5 Default theme. To colour the tracks, check out how to here: ua-cam.com/video/VKjsc1Q_OYU/v-deo.html
I like the plug in but this is one of the things about Reaper vs Cubase that is not drawing me away from Cubase. Cubase's pitch edit software seems to be much more malleable - in particular it's the detailed vibrato control that really stands out - sadly Reaper doesn't seem to be able to acheive the same level of usability. I really do want to migrate to Reaper however as I'm sick of having to use my USB dongle all the time.
I find the simplicity of REAPER's ReaTune plugin a feature! The results are usually very transparent, I use ReaTune most of the time when I need to do some vocal or instrument tuning. For times I need (or want) to adjust things like vibrato, I use Melodyne. These are all just tools, and you just need to the find the one that works best for you. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, Melodyne is the real deal too, but even that pales in comparison to Cubase's VariAudio mainly because it's so perfectly integrated into Cubase. Reaper is fantastic but as I say it's not pulling me away quite yet.
Yer Da yup, variaudio is super easy. I'm still stuck at cubase because of that. I really want reaper has its own version of variaudio..
Sir... Will yu plz make a video rgarding removal of vocal from a track..
Unfortunately, there is no way to remove a vocal from a mixed song without seriously effecting the sound quality of the rest of the recording. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much ! but i think it was hard to judge the vocal as there was an organ with an over the top "seasick" vibrato at the same time, which made everything sound out of key. It would have been easier as a listener without it
you don't get it
@@DeeKeyLP Correction : i did´nt get it ( it was 3 years ago) 🙂
@@pml394 😉
great stuff. how did you know to put your harmony in c major?
Thanks for watching! I recorded this song from the ground up, and I knew that the song was in the key of C major. If you don't know the key of the song, you can leave ReaTune in its default state (A chromatic). As long as you're close enough to the correct note, it should work well.
This track was mixed by FAB Dupont if i'm correct on some instructional video with (sonnox) plugins?
now i'm sure it's not, it's just that soloed vocal is similar to "WIll Knox" band style. Cheers and good videos as always!
Why doesnt mine look like that. When I open it on a track it doesnt look anything like yours? No Tabs nothing?
What version of REAPER are you using? What does the interface look like when you open ReaTune?
Just found this. When I open ReaTune.....I don't have the notes on the left hand side on the window like you have.Is there a way to turn them on?
Nevermind...I found it! LOL I had to expand the window with the + symbol. Thanks man, great tutorial!
Where do I find that song?
oh thanks god that i found your channel .. it feels like no one use reaper ^^
I have a little question, too: why does your tracks show the audioline in that far zooming. I don't know how to correct that, because in my system the audioline from a sample or what ever will disappear if I zoom out to much ... maybe you can help me ^^
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean the pitch tracking line in the ReaTune plugin in? Or the waveform in each of the tracks in the arrange area? Cheers!
No not the ReaTune. 9:35 in your vocaltrack for example you can see the audioline and in my version the line disappear If I zoom too far.

Sorry my english is not that good and its very difficult to explain :/
I see your problem now, but I can't help you. Try posting in the REAPER forums. There are lots of helpful people there. The main forum is here: forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20, and he's a link to the non-English forums forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38 (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German). I hope someone there can help you out. Good luck!!!
Well, thank you anyway !
hello there !! great video! :D I would like to ask if there is a way to transfer the whole track (for example the Vox track). Like can i transfer the whole waveform into reatune without having to play the whole thing?
I don't know any other way to transfer the track to ReaTune. As far as I know it must be done in real time. If anyone knows another way, please enlighten us! Cheers and thanks for watching!
Open the effect on an individual audio clip, then go to the 'Manual Correction' tab, and hit 'Update'
Great video! Thanks for the info!
How might this work applying pitch correction to an old song that was mastered a little too slow/fast, so you can play along with it? Like if I drop a song into track 1 (Holding Back the Years, for example), how do I tell Reaper I want the pitch up or down so it sounds correct with the guitar chords I found, please?
in that case i would use the ReaPitch plugin and transpose the track by the required amount
That's right! Thanks for jumping in on this!
Why not re-sing vocal reason number 3; it's not gonna sound any better if I do
But the real question is...
Where can i buy that song?
The song in the video is a cover version of "Yorkshire Lady" by Old Kid. You can buy the original version on...
Bandcamp: oldkidmusic.bandcamp.com/album/this-echo
Or listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/6xfm2CrADZUms6fW2GX3Sh
Cheers!
awesome
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Is that vst for free? I own reaper but didn't see that vst
ReaTune is part of REAPER. You'll find it under the "Cockos" label in the FX browser. Thanks for watching!
Nice, Thx. Whats the name of the song? Who sings it? I liked the song.
