Audacity Forum

I realize that similar questions have been asked before, but after considerable trouble (4-5 worth of browsing to find an answer), I think that its sufficiently different to merit asking here.

So, I have Audacity, the 1.3 beta. I downloaded GSnap, saved it under the plug ins folder in Audacity. I opened Audacity, recorded something, highlighted it, and clicked effects. On the list, I clicked GVST GSnap. Then, the GSnap UI comes up. I adjusted all the dials to the "T-Pain" setting just to test it, as I thought it would have the most audible effect. I then told it ok, and Audacity processed it. I played the sound clip, now with GSnap. There was absolutely no change whatsoever. I then repeated this upwards of 10 times, even restarting my PC and re-installing both Audacity and GSnap. What the heck is wrong?

Again, I do not have a problem of GSnap not showing up in the effects menu, etc. It just simply doesn't effect my sound clip. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

BTW, Running 32 bit XP.

Have you tried the GSnap Manual ? It says "Use the automatic correction with Forced Key to help approximate that famous vocal effect." I assume he may actually mean "Fixed" - you would have to ask the GSnap author. Have you looked at these YouTube tutorials?

Alternatively try AutoTalent:

At the moment (like GSnap) AutoTalent wants a single melodic line to work with, so just voice, no chords or instruments. You could I think record your voice in stereo but the stereo will just be summed together before processing.

For a proper T-Pain effect you need MIDI control, which Audacity does not (yet) support, so at present it's only possible to create a vague approximation of the effect.

The Gsnap manual is here: http://www.gvst.co.uk/gsnap_manual.htm

Gsnap does have a (weird) effect in Audacity (1.3.) ... If your vocal was all at a constant pitch (monotone) GSNAP may not effect it, (without a midi line).
