Musicians are aware of the great effort it takes to record a song that sounds really well without distorting the lead singer's voice or the way the instruments sound. When adjustments need to be applied and auto-tuning is also required, the plugin GSnap can come to the rescue.
Since it is an audio VST plugin , GSnap has to be loaded within a compatible host in order for its functions to be accessible. It focuses mainly on pitch correction and it can be used both on voice as well as on non-vocal sounds, generating interesting effects.
Organized into three categories (Detection, Correction and MIDI), the graphic interface of GSnap contains twelve knobs that are labeled accordingly and that can each be controlled by users. The first four knobs enable the fine-tuning of the plugin's ability to deal with incoming audio, whereas the next four detect the audible effect and the method of the tuning algorithm. The bottom four controls deal with particular MIDI information.
Those who are just starting to get used to the variations that auto-tune can bring to their music can rely on the automatic mode of GSnap to apply all modifications, then simply customize the areas that need to be emphasized. This way, a lot of trouble can be saved by not manually editing each track, especially if the initial material is composed of simple sounds that are later put together to create a complex tune.
GSnap provides users with a graphical representation that allows them to easily compare the original and the tuned sounds within the same window, so that they can make accurate adjustments where needed.
Another benefit of GSnap is that it offers users the possibility to choose the key and the scale they want to work with, depending on their created tracks. This way, every music enthusiast can easily choose the range of sounds that suits them best.
Taking into account that GSnap is offered free of charge, one is not to expect any warranties from the developers, meaning that, as all pitch correctors out there, this one can also modify the source sounds, so a backup of the files can come in handy.
