Real-Time Pitch Correction Preview

Sing into your microphone and watch, in real time, the note you’re on, the nearest note in your chosen key & scale, and exactly where auto-tune would snap it — with an adjustable correction strength from subtle to hard.

ℹ This is a visualizer: it detects your pitch and shows where correction would move it. It does not alter, auto-tune, or play back your voice — true real-time audio auto-tune needs a low-latency phase-vocoder plug-in. Your microphone is analyzed live on your device and never recorded or uploaded. Use headphones-free; nothing is routed back to your speakers.

0% = no correction (just shows your pitch) · 100% = hard auto-tune snap
Lower = picks up quieter sounds (and more noise)
Microphone is off. Click “Start microphone”, then allow access when prompted.

How It Works

The tool reads your microphone live and runs a YIN pitch-detection algorithm to find the fundamental frequency you’re singing. It converts that to a musical note, then finds the nearest note that belongs to the key and scale you picked (for example, in C major it will ignore the black keys). The correction strength slider shows how far auto-tune would pull your pitch toward that scale note — 0% leaves it alone, 100% snaps it exactly onto the note. The ribbon visualizes your actual pitch, the target note, and the corrected position between them.

Everything happens on your device; nothing is recorded or uploaded. Importantly, this visualizes correction — it does not produce auto-tuned audio. Real-time audio auto-tune requires a low-latency phase-vocoder running in an audio plug-in or DAW. Use this to train your ear and check pitch accuracy against a scale, or to understand what an auto-tune effect is doing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this auto-tune my voice?
No. It shows you, in real time, where pitch correction would move your note for the chosen key and scale, but it doesn’t alter or play back corrected audio. For actual auto-tuned output, use a DAW plug-in.
Is my microphone recorded or uploaded?
No. Audio is analyzed live in your browser and never leaves your device. Stopping the mic releases it immediately, and it’s released automatically when you leave the page.
What do the key and scale do?
They define which notes are “in tune”. The tool snaps to the nearest note in that set — e.g. C major allows C D E F G A B, while C minor pentatonic allows C E♭ F G B♭. Choose Chromatic to allow every note.
Why doesn’t it detect my pitch?
Sing a steady, sustained note close to the mic, and lower the sensitivity value if it’s not picking you up. Very breathy or noisy input is hard to track. Pitch detection works best on clear single notes, not chords.
Should I use headphones?
It makes no difference — nothing is played back. The tool only listens and draws; it never routes your mic to the speakers, so there’s no feedback risk.
