Hard-Tune Explorer
Hear the Cher “Believe” and T-Pain auto-tune effect live — drag Retune Speed to 0, choose a key, and a sung line snaps into the robotic staircase. Then copy the exact retune, scale and humanize values straight into Auto‑Tune, Graillon 2 or MAutoPitch.
Hard-tune FAQ
What makes the Cher and T‑Pain auto‑tune sound?
A pitch corrector with retune speed set to 0, so the voice snaps instantly to the nearest note in a chosen key with no glide. Those hard jumps are the robotic warble. Lock the scale to your key or it turns atonal — try the CHROMATIC setting here to hear exactly that.
What exact settings should I copy into my tuner?
Retune speed 0 (fastest), scale locked to your song key, humanize and flex‑tune off. The readout above prints the precise values for Auto‑Tune, Graillon 2 and MAutoPitch as you move the controls, plus the optional octave‑up double that thickens the T‑Pain sound.
Do I need Auto‑Tune, or will free plugins work?
Free plugins work. Graillon 2 and MAutoPitch both hard‑tune, and most DAWs bundle a stock tuner. Set retune speed to its fastest value and lock the scale to your key. Paid tools buy tracking quality and low latency, not a secret ingredient.
Is the audio a real vocal?
No — it's a Web Audio synth running live in your browser, playing a melodic phrase through a real pitch‑quantiser so you can hear how retune speed, scale and key change the effect. Nothing is downloaded and no recording is used.
