Description
Auto or manually tune your vocals and perform time correction on any audio material.
With Vocal Tune Studio, pitch and time correction of vocal recordings is now finally possible on your iPhone or iPad! Use it as an Audio Unit effect inside your favourite DAW or in standalone mode.
From popular effects to subtile correction:
Retune notes to achieve the popular auto tune effect or apply a more subtile correction. Besides pitch correction, notes can be corrected for timing and volume level as well.
Deep editing:
Each individual note can be adjusted for retune time, retune amount, volume and the amount of formant correction. Artificial vibrato can also be added and adjusted to taste using the vibrato depth and rate controls and settings to adjust the time when the vibrato kicks in and the time in which it reaches the full vibrato depth to obtain a natural sounding vibrato.
Key and scale detection:
Vocal Tune Studio can detect the key and scale of a vocal recording automatically or a key and scale can be manually chosen.
Two workflows:
Choose between two workflows similar to popular desktop vocal tune software: start with either all notes quantised (corrected) or non-quantised. When choosing non-quantised, an additional Pitch Quantisation slider lets you move notes between their original sung pitch and the target pitch within the selected key and scale.
Time correction as a bonus for all audio material:
Aside from vocal pitch correction, Vocal Tune Studio also features a generic time correction/stretching mode which works on any type of audio material (not only vocals, but also guitars etc.). In this mode, any part of a recording that was played off-beat can be time corrected without affecting parts that were recorded in time.
Export MIDI:
Besides the host's ability to render the effect to an audio file, the identified notes can also be exported as standard MIDI file.
Standalone mode:
Besides being a AUv3 plug-in, you can also run the app standalone. Record audio directly, import an audio file or paste an audio file from the iOS clipboard. Auto or manually tune your vocals and correct them for timing errors or apply time correction for any audio material. When finished, export the result to a WAV file.
Note:
Vocal Tune Studio is also available within our DAW, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio and offers much higher integration there, not requiring to 'record' the audio first into Vocal Tune Studio.

PLEASE NOTE: due to a bug in Auria, Vocal Tune Studio stops working when mixing down or freezing tracks. A work-around is to create a new audio track and select the master bus as input to perform bouncing.

* Solved an issue where using a low sample rate would cause noisy audio
* Solved some cases where a dimmed background was displayed that first had to be clicked away

Ratings and Reviews
Waste of money!
UPDATE: The developer responded with some additional instructions and clarification (seen below). Because of this I have upgraded my rating. The plugin is now functional. It does a pretty good job at pitch correction… although not as transparent as desktop solutions we may be used to. For the iPad, this may be the best bet in 2024. Worth a purchase if you need pitch correction with manual control.
ORIGINAL POST:
I bought this plugin hoping it would be a Melodyne-like option for an iPad running Logic Pro. From the start, operations were extremely buggy, and the audio quality of this plugin is NOT professional. First the app constantly crashed when I tried to select a save folder. Basic DAW transport functions stopped working on my keyboard. Moving audio clips in the Logic timeline was not reflected on tracks with this plugin running. I would imagine this plugin would be ok for making a robotic-autotune voice… but certainly not for more natural sounding performances. And this plugin is way too expensive for what it does and doesn’t do. Let me help you save your money since it’s already too late for me.
Developer Response ,
We are sorry to hear about your experience. Logic Pro has a bug where selecting a save folder from within a plug-in is only possible when you have opened the Files app/browser from Logic itself once before. The app has no influence on DAW control functions since it cannot send such commands to the host. Just like if you would use similar apps on desktop (without ARA), you cannot move clips on the DAW and expect that to be reflected in the plug-in since the plug-in has no knowledge on the host's audio. That is why you need to record audio into the plug-in. We have compared the quality to Antares AutoTune and several others and in most cases it was on par with those. Of course, it also depends on the source audio material, where for example noisy material would hinder proper functioning. About the price, although we believe it functions as it should, it is still 20 times cheaper than comparable products on desktop.
Update - Crashes when audio play is requested
*** Update*** updated from 1 star to 4 star after being contacted. The agent explained that htis app does not support M4A files. It works with WAV, and he said they would see about adding M4A functionality.
I have this app, and cannot use it, because every time I load an audio file and ask it to play, the app crashes and loses all my progress. I deleted and redownloaded it to no avail. I will update the review IF someone reaches out to me and corrects the problem.

AMAZING
I’ve been using Vocal Tune for all my vocals, and it’s an absolute BEAST! Can not recommend this enough. I use Logic Pro for iPad, and it really allows you the space to tune vocals, and have them sounding clean, and natural! It can be tedious, but the mixing process can be like that sometimes!
It’s been able to handle different settings, either capturing a whole verse, or a chorus, at times, you may have to run it through again or through specific parts, but it will get the job done, and you can really mess around with it so it sounds clean, and natural. Great iOS replacement for Melodyne, 110% recommend.
