correcting vocal sharps & flats
I am trying to finish up a vocal recording, singing to my own accompaniment, composed on Sibelius. Sounds great except for minute flaws in my singing. I'd like to do some vocal airbrushing in places, rounding out spots where I go slightly sharp and flat. Is there a plug-in for this? Or do I have to go with different software? Using Mac OS 10.14.3 & Audacity 2.3.0 Tnx. Tom in Texas

Re: correcting vocal sharps & flats
Is your voice on its own track or is this a mix?
If it's a mix, that's the end of the world. Audacity cannot split a mix into individual voices, instruments and sounds.

Re: correcting vocal sharps & flats
Vox is on a separate track. I want to correct only the one track. Looking right now at Melodyne. Is it usable with Audacity? Is there a plug-in that does this? TnT

editing notes, up or down, on vocals
I'm trying to change the frequency, the actual note, on vocal recordings. E.g. if I mean to sing a C, but instead I hit slightly higher than a C, I need to bring that note down to a perfect C. Does the Effect Change Pitch do that? Also, I see a tutorial that says GSNAP will do that. I don't find GSNAP. Is it older? Using Mac OS 10.14.3 and Audacity 2.3.0 Tom in Texas
Re: correcting vocal sharps & flats
$$$
There are free pitch-correction plugins ...
Grallion2 is worth a look , (the free-version has fully functional pitch-correction, no need to buy the paid-for version)

Re: correcting vocal sharps & flats
Melodyne does not officially support Audacity, but there is a possibility that it will work or work partially. Or, it can run as a stand-alone application.
The Auto-Tune website says "Not compatible" with Audacity, and I'm not sure if there is a stand-alone version.

Graillon2
Ok...I have downloaded Graillon 2. Looked for new plugins in Audacity. Found it, enabled it. Now I'm looking for it. Don't see it in the plugins list. How do I open it up?

Graillon won't plug in
Went to Audacity plug-ins. Looked up new ones. Enabled it. Got the message: Effect or Command at /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Auburn Sounds Graillon 2.vst failed to register: How hard can this be? Does anyone know what's going on?

I don't speak MAC. I have Grallion2 in Audacity on Windows ...Tom.C.Fuller.Sr. wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 7:24 pmWent to Audacity plug-ins. Looked up new ones. Enabled it.

In Audacity on Windows only VST2 (not VST3) 32-bit (not 64-bit) versions of plugins will work.

If Audacity on a MAC will not support Grallion2 , try plan-B.
Re: editing notes, up or down, on vocals
If you only need to correct an occasional note, and you don't need to correct it by too much, then yes you can select one note and apply Change Pitch to it.
The "High quality stretching" will probably work best: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_pitch.html
