What Softube Vocal Tuner is
Softube Vocal Tuner is a real-time vocal pitch-correction plug-in for macOS and Windows. It offers Classic correction for a traditional tuning sound and Modern correction designed to preserve vocal formants. Subtle/Hard controls how quickly pitch correction responds, while Natural/Robotic changes the treatment of note transitions. Pitch and formant shifting can be linked or adjusted independently; octave-up and octave-down layers have separate gain controls, and Tone Enhance processing is included. Low Latency mode is intended for tracking and live performance, with reported latency under 1 millisecond. Metering and visualizations show how processing affects the input. The plug-in supports MIDI pitch control and a 12-semitone pitch-shift range, but has no scale or key detection. It requires a compatible DAW host supporting AU, VST, VST3 and/or AAX. Installation and license management require Softube and iLok accounts and internet access. The listed price is 199.00 EUR once, with a 20-day trial and three activations.
