PitchCraft corrects pitch problems in vocal or instrumental recordings, using its high-quality algorithm, while formant correction retains a voice's natural sound. PitchCraft can also be used as a sound design tool — for effects such as voice disguise, changing an adult's voice into a child's voice, "gender transformation" and a wealth of other creative possibilities. PitchCraft also can be used for "exaggerated" vocal correction effects, made famous by many of today's leading artists. This plug-in is available in Audio Units, RTAS or VST.

This No-Brainer Deal is only available for purchase via electronic serial number at this special price for a limited time.
