If this settings dont work for you then you must select different scale. Click Select Scale, then choose KEY G, and Minor scale it must work :)

This isn't working for me. Why not?

What exactly your problem is? The settings or installation?

If these settings do not work for you, then just make some adjustments. Select different Scale and It must work, I use these settings for a year now.

It installed properly. I'm using it in Audacity.

I put the settings the same way it said to. I tried it with G Major like everyone has said to, but it doesn't seem to work for me. It's weird.

It is weird, I do not know what else you can do. Hmm try mess a little bit with "CORRECTION", make some adjustments and try It again. Or download free Cool Edit Pro Portable and GSnap from my DOWNLOADS page, install it and try it again in Cool Edit Pro.

How come when I go to set the scale to C major it automatically changes it back to A major, Ive even tried other scales, ANY HELP????

BlueBird said…
Do not worry, if you set C major and apply it you will get C major scale, GSnap scales automatically goes to default every time you want to select another scale.

Restart your PC and try again, If you fail again then re-install Audacity and start over.

for the peole who can't get it to work, you should try the following:
install audacity beta 1.3 as the non-beta version (1.2) requires that you install "vst enabler" in order for gsnap to function.
then in audacity's "preferences", go to "effects" and check the box for something like "rescan vsts when audacity starts". close audacity, re-open it and VOILA!!! sorry if written in a slightly confusing manner but these steps don't seem to be mentionned on this thread at all yet. ~deltz~

We do not work with Audacity at all and that is the reason why we do not catch all details. Thank you for this information. Peace

Oke, of course you can not sound just like T-Pain, but you can get the effect he used for his vocal. The sound should not be flat, so you can try another thing to do. YOU MUST know what type your vocal is before you apply any of these settings. How to do that? Just click on SELECT SCALE and mess a lil bit until you found some scale you like. That will be solution for your problem.

hey how would i go about making the correction more noticable? for instance... I want this particular section of vocals that I have recorded to sound extremely robotic and I was wondering how to tweak the settings to make the vocals sound less realistic and more robotic.

Hello Mikey!

If you want to sound like pro, please use Adobe Audtion or Cool Edit Pro ( You can download both from DOWNLOAD section of my blog, then just check out this post
