I had no idea that pitch correction in ReaTune sounds that good, wow !

[@DRocksRecords]

same for me its actually very good!

[@LucasDegen]

Me neither, and now I also know it is possible to freeze tracks. Nice nice nice. Did you know (one of my favorite bands) Tycho uses Reaper?

[@tylerssoul]

I was about to say, this seems much better than melodyne and newtone. I havent used it yet but I get a lot of bad effects and sounds from the other two

[@matturner6890]

@@tylerssoul I agree. I've used Melodyne before and found that while its interface is unbeatable, I can hear the plugin working a lot more than ReaTune, and I hate that boxy roboticised tone it puts underneath the vocal. It seems much less apparent in ReaTune! I'll have to keep on with it for a while to ensure I don't just have a case of 'fun new thing' syndrome, but I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with it!

[@tophergonzales6778]

It is truly insane that this powerful stuff comes stock with Reaper.

[@alexconner3958]

Great video, but holy shit freezing and unfreezing tracks to save CPU is the feature I knew I always needed but wasn't sure what to look for! Thanks Kenny!

[@lovesticked]

In case anyone's wondering how to delete the blue tuning bars, just click on them and push backspace. Only took me half an hour to figure out :0

[@akatajis]

Thanks dude, this was exactly the information I was looking for in the comments! I only spent 15 minutes trying to find this function with no luck.

[@joshuaandtheruins8580]

In case anyone has this problem, I have had the "sizzle" issue with ReaTune, but I noticed something with Freeze in this tutorial! When Kenny played it in real time with manual or auto correction (6:09), it did the sizzle on the s of "horse" making it buzz like "horzze". BUT when he did the Freeze track and rendered it offline, he played it back (7:01) and it didn't do the sizzle/buzz! When he unfroze and played again (7:26) it was back! I haven't tried comparing it myself yet, but maybe the Freeze/Offline Render fixes the sizzle? I'm guessing the CPU doesn't like correcting it and playing back all at the same time, so my new approach will be to do all my correction and then Freeze. Without the buzz, this plugin could be perfect! And, thank you, Kenny, for these tutorials. You totally rock.

[@elementor85]

I think another fix would be changing the correction algorithm, but I'm not sure if that could work or not.

[@borngamerrob]

Kenny, you truly are a master with this tool. Thank you for continuing to make remarkable videos that truly help instruct. I just have no clue how you do this so well in that short of time, but somehow you always pull it off. Ever so grateful.

[@Domestic_Kitten]

What an amazing tool! And your videos keep making a better sound engineer every time I watch 'em. Thanks!

[@realtemcat]

Thank you so much for this! I didn't know Reaper had this plugin out of the box.

[@EccentricMusicOfficial]

These tutorials are absolutley amazing. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

[@MoreMeRecording]

Man, this was a life saver. I 've been an anti-AT guy forever but have a track where overall the vocals provided to me are very good and there were just a few wincy pitchy parts and this fixed it right up. Thanks again, Kenny!

[@johnmiller3394]

This was just what I needed to fine tune my recordings!! Thanks bro. Reaper is the best investment I've made towards my love for music! So glad I went against the grain and chose it for my DAW.

[@puissance]

Whaaaat! I was thinking about buying a plugin for vocal tuning, but this sounds really good. So happy to have bought Reaper. So many things to learn. Thanks Mr. Gioia!

[@jimjohnson9785]

I have to tell you, I normally can't stand video tutorials, especially when they are the only way to get information. However, yours are the best I have seen. You say what you're going to say and you show it and there's no wasted time. Thanks.

[@FartCoffinStudios]

Your videos have made learning reaper so much easier. Thanks again for another great video!

[@underwoodvoice9077]

I had to use this effect to fix a slide guitar part on a blues tune. I selected the key as Kenny did, then selected the additional blue notes I needed (the tune was in E, I needed G and Bb). Then follow the same manual tuning process, and the lead track wound up sounding great. Just tweak the start and end points of the corrections for a little "slide into the note feeling". Great plug-in, and great explanation. I love this channel.

[@paulwheeler3896]

I'm constantly amazed by how powerful a tool Reaper is - the best decision I ever made, to switch to this. Thanks so much, Kenny, for opening up the world of this brilliant DAW with your great tutorials!

That’s how you get better! I’ve spent countless hours in the studio being critiqued. The first thing i had to learn in the industry was how to take criticism constructively even when someone else isnt being constructive.

I had no idea tuning would be so simple with this plugin already in reaper! I'm so happy I can learn now!

[@mearkitek3773]

Another great tutorial, very simple and useful. I didn't realize Reaper had that plugin. Thanks!

[@floridacrackerguitartips6004]

Thanks Kenny for a superb overview of this wonderful tool. Just tested it today.

[@ansishh]

One of your tutorials taught me to add buttons to media items, so I added the "E" (envelope) button. Now my go-to pitch correction tool is the pitch envelope for certain media items. Of course, compared to ReaTune, it lacks some of the visual representation, but personally that's not a big loss for me, and it's also perfect for tracks that need pitch correcting in just a few places. Also, I'll definitely have to use the freeze track function more often. Thanks, once again! Best Reaper tutorials out there!

[@RobertGrayMusic]

Pitch envelope is also better in that it doesn't snap to exact pitches - sounds more natural than 100% autotuned, like with the auto version of Reatune.

[@ronpoelmans125]

[@doubledare84527]

I tried this and turned a total junk of vocals into a decent one. Literally saved my song I say. And all of my future ones...I needed this because I'm not a singer and don't have anyone to sing for me. I can't thank you enough Kenny, you nail it every time man!

[@Dodgyasdf]

Hell yeah, I've just been using this plugin to tune my guitar and bass when I record, never even noticed the tabs. Thanks man.

[@ashemorgan1638]

I can’t get reatune to recognize the bottom 2 strings on my bass...is there a trick I’m missing?

[@macgarymusic]

@@ashemorgan1638 hopefully you already figured it out by now. I often use 12th fret harmonics to tune the lowest strings on my bass. If the intonation is set properly this should be accurate. Some tuners can't recognize the lowest frequencies, especially if you go for anything below E standard.

[@Xabi_MM]

Thank you so much! Your tutorials are very very helpful

[@JanneOksanen]

This video saved me some money. I was seriously thinking about buying Melodyne, but I don't think I need it anymore. Thanks!

[@tracyblair3064]

Kenny - I am posting this suggestion here as it concerns pitch correction. Recently I have started moving away from using plugins for pitch correction and have begun relying on Reaper's take-based pitch envelope for this purpose. I find that it is much easier to get natural-sounding vocals with this method than when using REATune or other pitch correction software, whether in automatic or manual mode. You may want to consider doing a video on this feature. As always, your efforts are appreciated!

[@Grommie122]

You're the man Kenny!

Thanks for the tutorial, saved me from buying pricey auto tune vst. It’s unbelievable to know that such good vocals is still getting flat/#, honestly I didn’t notice that.. maybe some obvious few but not a lot like what program detected 😂

[@omarleslie5299]

Thanks man this helped me out alot.

[@deanc2000]

Can you do automatic first, then same plug in 2nd using the manual mode to take care of left over tuning problems?

[@DRocksRecords]

thanks for showing us. So in manual mode, it keeps the natural vibrato but fixes the global pitch to the corrected note?

[@TurdMcNugget]

Whoa! This is awesome

[@metalmayhem672]

What happens if there's multiple key changes in a tune and I want to use the manual correction? I'm using this plugin now and it works well but I'm trying to figure out how to set the key for different key changes in the tune and have it switch to those keys at certain points in the timeline with my changes in those specific keys. My verse is in a different key than my bridge, and my chorus is in another key as well. I find that doing some light tweaking is the best way to go. I'm actually leaving some slightly flat and sharp parts in, it sounds more natural.
