autotune plugin for ubuntu tutorial

[dageek247]

I installed Audacity from the ubuntu app center, and i am wondering, where would i find detailed instructions for installing, and using an autotune plugin? i just thought it would be fun to mess with.

any help?

This is the Audacity 1.2 part of the forum - I think you've probably got Audacity 1.3.12 (look in "Help menu > About Audacity")

Antares Autotune is not available for Linux as far as I'm aware.

i didnt realise that the Gnu/Linux And Like-Unix forum was for Audacity 1.2.x. you were right, i have Audacity 1.3 beta. could an admin move this thread to where it belongs? i am new to the forums, and i dont know where everthing goes.

i just want to know how to autotune my voice using audacity in ubuntu.

There are two Linux forums, one for audacity 1.2.x and another for audacity 1.3.x (same for the other oses). I moved it to the 1.3 section.

I've never used any autotune plugin before so I can't help with your request sorry.

[dageek247]

alright, i will post my question in the 1.3.x forums

alright, i will post my question in the 1.3.x forums

I already moved this topic to the 1.3.x, no need to post again

So, does any one know how to install an autotune plugin for audacity in ubuntu?

[steve]

There are two (free) options that come to mind:

Autotalent v0.2 http://web.mit.edu/tbaran/www/autotalent.html
It cannot be used in real-time with Audacity, but is fully functional as an "applied" effect.
Unfortunately it is not currently available in the Ubuntu repositories but you can download it from the authors web site.
Unzip the "tar.gz" file and put the "autotalent.so" file into your Audacity plug-ins folder.

Option 2:

The Windows version of Audacity 1.3.12 will run fairly well in WINE http://www.winehq.org/about/
There is a free "auto-tune" (pitch correction) type effect called GSnap (VST plug-in for Windows) http://www.gvst.co.uk/gsnap.htm
I've not tried running it with Audacity in WINE, but I've used it in Windows, so it will probably work.

There are some limitations to using GSnap in Audacity;
Audacity does not support real-time processing, so it can only be used as an "applied" effect.
The graphical display output does not work properly.
The MIDI features are not supported (Audacity does not yet support MIDI other than displaying MIDI files).

thank you. the first option should be fine.
