PitchDance turns a recording into notes on a piano roll and handles the analysis. Where they end up is up to you.
The whole take sits on a piano roll. Drag a note in semitones, or hold Alt for cents. Holding a note plays it, so you hear where it lands before you let go.
Pitch and formant are separate controls. Shift a note a long way and it keeps its natural weight, or hold the pitch steady and change only its character.
Notes move sideways too. Drag a late entrance back onto the beat, or pull a note's edge to stretch it. When a whole phrase is loose, Quantize Time tightens it to the grid by however much you set.
Correct Pitch pulls the whole take toward your key, by an amount you choose. It does most of the work in one click, so you only hand-fix the handful of notes where the right pitch is a judgment call.
Esses and breaths have no pitch, so shifting them is what makes tuned vocals lisp. PitchDance finds those spots inside each note and leaves them untouched when you retune.
After you buy, a license key lands in your inbox and you paste it in once. The license is verified locally and never checks in. A privacy-safe update check can be disabled in Preferences.
In your DAW, insert the plugin and hit Transfer, then play the part to send it across. In the standalone app, just open a file.
Move notes to fix pitch and timing, and reshape vibrato or formants where a note needs it. Hold a note to hear an edit before you commit.
Print the result back to the track, or export a WAV or a MIDI file.
As a plugin it lives on the track and renders your edits straight back into the session. The standalone app is for when all you have is a file that needs fixing.
The trial is the full app for fourteen days, with no card or account. Its clock starts only when you choose Start free trial. If it sticks, buy it once and activate the same installation.
$29 launch special, one-time purchase, includes all updates through 1.x.
