How do I use Auto-Tune?

Auto-Tune is a great feature on Rapchat that can help enhance your vocals and create a unique sound. Here are the steps to customize your Auto-Tune:

  1. Open the Auto-Tune settings by clicking on the "FX" near the record screen to view vocal effects collections. Find "Auto-Tune" and click the settings icon.

  2. The Signature Key does not need to be adjusted, as Rapchat automatically adjusts the key and scale to match the beat.

  3. Adjust the Retune Speed to your preference. The range goes from 0 to 400, but you won't hear much difference once you go past 100. Adjust around 0-3 if you want more of a "T-Pain sound" (stronger Auto-Tune), or raise it higher to simply keep your vocals in tune but sounding more natural (lighter Auto-Tune).

  4. Add some Reverb to polish your vocals. Go to "Reverb" in the Preset Settings and bump the Dry/Wet toggle up a little until it sounds good to you.

  5. Experiment with different ways of singing to get the sound you are looking for from the Auto-Tune. Remember that your vocals matter most!

  6. Save your settings by clicking "Save as" so you can reuse these settings in other songs or layers.

  7. Record clean audio for the best results. Auto-Tune works best when your vocals are isolated (no background noise) and recorded properly. Learn more about recording tips in our blog at https://blog.rapchat.com/.

  8. Monitor your vocals while you record. Make sure you use headphones and turn monitoring on in the Studio Settings so you can hear your vocals in real-time.

  9. Pay attention to your delivery. Performance is everything when it comes to using Auto-Tune. You need to adjust the way you sing to get a different sound from the Auto-Tune. Experiment with different ways of singing until you get the sound you're looking for.

  10. Customize settings for YOUR voice. The presets in Rapchat are a great place to start, but you'll get the best results when you adjust the settings to make your own signature sound. Open the Auto-Tune settings by clicking on the "FX" near the record screen to view vocal effects collections. Find "Auto-Tune" and click the settings icon to customize the settings.

Have fun and get creative with your Auto-Tune!
