Audio tools for the stage

Pitch correction you can sing through.

Performative Autotune corrects pitch in real time, at latency built for the monitor chain. It moves the note and leaves the rest of the take alone.

§ 02 — Method
01

Latency first

The engine is built for a live chain. Every processing block has a latency budget, checked before it ships, and note transitions land where you sang them.

02

Key-aware

Pick a key and correction lands only on the notes in it. Toggle individual notes for custom scales, or run chromatic and correct to every semitone.

03

Character, dialed

Retune speed runs from transparent touch-up to full hard-tune. Character presets are stored separately from song setup, so the sound you built survives a key change.

§ 03 — The lab

How changes get in.

Every audible change passes the same four checks before it merges. The failures stay on the record, next to the passes. An excerpt is below.

Gate 01

Instrument

Before we fix a problem we build a tool that measures it. The fix has to move the number, not just the mood.

Gate 02

Reference

Output is compared against the industry reference and against recordings with known correct pitch. The comparison set is 1,400 clips.

Gate 03

Corpus

One good take proves nothing. A change must hold across 60 clips of real singing without regressing anything it didn't touch.

Gate 04

Blind ears

The last check is a blind A/B: unlabeled renders, judged by ear, answer key opened after the verdict is written down.
