How to Use Autotune VST to Deepen the Voice

The musician T-Pain popularized the use of Auto-Tune in hip-hop.

The Antares Auto-Tune VST plugin alters the pitch of a recording in real-time. Although Auto-Tune is designed to nudge a singer's vocals into key by making subtle pitch corrections, it can also create extreme vocal effects by applying heavy pitch shifting. Auto-Tune 7 includes a "Transpose" control that can deepen the pitch of your voice by up to an octave, as well as a "Formant" feature that processes your voice's incidental frequencies, making the end result sound more realistic.

Instructions

1. Launch your digital audio workstation. Open the voice recording that you want to deepen.

2. Drag and drop Auto-Tune from the program's VST plugins section onto the audio file. Click the "Formant" button in Auto-Tune to enable high-quality pitch-shifting.

3. Click and drag the "Transpose" knob to the left. The lower the "Transpose" setting, the deeper your voice sounds.

4. Click "Play" in your digital audio workstation to listen to your deepened voice.
