Background

Having received several queries about Mac versions over the years, I had a go at crowd-sourcing some funds to fast-track a Mac-porting project some months ago. That was unsuccessful, sadly.

However, off the back of that I was given a battered old MacBook by a nice mathematician at the University of Bath. So, I've been playing with that a little in my spare time to see what I can do. With some extra RAM from eBay, I managed to drag it as far as OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and start compiling some code.

In the interest of creating better multi-platform code, I decided to look at Linux at the same time. So I grabbed Ubuntu Studio 14.04, installed it on an old USB stick and started developing on there too.

How To Use Gsnap Audacity

On Windows and Mac OS X, Audacity is a 32-bit application so won’t see 64-bit versions of VST plug-ins, even on 64-bit operating systems. On GNU/Linux, 32-bit systems will have 32-bit versions of Audacity which won’t see 64-bit VST plug-ins. 64-bit systems will have 64-bit versions of Audacity which will see 64-bit VST plug-ins but won’t. GSnap by GVST (@KVRAudio Product Listing): GSnap is an auto-tune effect. It can be used subtly to correct the pitch of a vocal, or, with more extreme settings, to create a robot-voice effect. For GSnap to work effectively, the input signal should be monophonic, at a good level and reasonably noise-free. Note: GSnap is not a software program, but rather a specific effect that can be added to Audacity in order to make the process of auto-tuning songs easier. Before using it, make sure that Audacity can find it.

The Mac and Linux versions have matured a little now - see the main plugin pages for downloads.

Open your Audacity and record your audio or import a prerecorded sound to auto-tune. Select the part of the audio you want to correct and click the Effect Menu. Look for the GVST GSnap plugin and the commands for adjustment will appear. Configure the settings and turn your audio into a nice vocal presentation. Launch the Audacity app and navigate to Effect Add / Remove Plug-ins. Then find the GSnap, enable it and click OK. After that, you can import the audio file that you want to auto tune. Select the audio file and tap on Effect in the menu bar. From the drop-down list, select the GSnap option to open the Select Key and Scale window.
