Add effects, generate a backing band if you want one, mix the tracks, and export a lossless WAV. It runs in a browser tab with nothing to install. ## 1. Import your audio Upload WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG or WEBM, up to 100 MB. IchiPitchy detects every note and the key and scale you sang in, automatically. ## 2. Tune the vocal Auto-Tune snaps notes to a chosen key and scale. Level controls how hard notes snap — 0% is natural, 100% is the hard robotic effect. Smooth controls how much vibrato and ornamentation survives. For manual control, drag a note block to move its pitch, or double-click it to edit its pitch curve with control points. ## 3. Isolate vocals from a song AI vocal separation splits a finished mix into vocal and instrumental stems, so you can isolate vocals or remove them. Stems download as a .zip. One separation a month is free. ## 4. Add a backing band Generate drums, bass, keys, guitars and more from a chord progression — 50 instruments, 13 styles, 29 time signatures — each arriving on its own mixer track. This runs in your browser and is free and unlimited. ## 5. Mix and export The multitrack mixer gives every track a fader, pan, solo/mute, metering and its own effects. Mixing happens on your own device. Export a lossless 24-bit or 32-bit float WAV, an MP3 at 320 kbps, MIDI of the detected notes, or the stems as a zip. ## Which task uses which tool | What you want to do | Where | How | | --- | --- | --- | | Fix an off-key vocal | Editor | Auto-Tune to the detected key and scale; Level sets snap strength | | Fix one bad note | Editor | Drag that note block on the piano roll | | Keep vibrato while tuning | Editor | Raise Smooth; it preserves ornamentation instead of flattening it | | Get an acapella | Editor | AI vocal separation; export the vocal stem | | Make a karaoke/instrumental | Editor | AI vocal separation; export the instrumental stem | | Add a band behind a vocal | Instruments | Pick style, key, tempo, meter and chords; 50 instruments available | | Balance several tracks | Mixer | Per-track fader, pan, solo/mute, EQ, compressor, reverb, delay | | Deliver a master | Mixer | Export lossless WAV, 24-bit or 32-bit float | ## How IchiPitchy compares to desktop vocal tools | Capability | IchiPitchy | Typical desktop pitch editor | | --- | --- | --- | | Installation | None — runs in the browser | Desktop install, often as a DAW plugin | | Cost | Tuning, harmony, recording and mixing free and unmetered; exports and AI features have a monthly free allowance that resets, then Pro is $3/mo or $33/yr | Paid licence | | Note-by-note pitch editing | Yes | Yes | | Pitch-curve editing | Yes — control points per note | Yes | | AI vocal / instrumental separation | Built in | Usually a separate tool | | Backing band generation | Built in — 50 instruments | Not typically included | | Multitrack mixing | Built in | Requires the host DAW | | MIDI recording and plugin hosting | No | Yes, via the DAW | | Lossless export | 24-bit and 32-bit float WAV | Yes | ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I tune a vocal online without installing anything? Upload the take, let IchiPitchy detect the notes and the key you sang in, then set Auto-Tune to that key and scale. For finer control, drag individual notes on the piano roll or reshape their pitch curves by hand. It all runs in a browser tab. ### What audio formats can I import and export? Import WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG or WEBM up to 100 MB. Export a lossless WAV at 24-bit or 32-bit float, an MP3 at 320 kbps, MIDI of the detected notes, or the separated stems as a zip. ### Does IchiPitchy work on a phone? The full studio is desktop-first, because pitch editing needs a pointer and screen space. A trimmed mobile flow exists, but the editor, mixer and generator are designed for a desktop browser. ### What does it cost? Auto-tune, note-by-note pitch editing, vocal harmony, in-browser recording, the backing-band generator, multitrack mixing, key and BPM detection and MIDI export are free and unmetered, with no card and no watermark. Every month the free plan also includes 2 editor exports, 2 mixer exports, 1 AI vocal isolation, 10 AI assistant messages and 1 Creator Studio MP4 export, and that allowance resets. IchiPitchy Pro is $3 a month or $33 a year and removes those limits. ### Do I need an account? Yes for anything that uploads a take, because the file is stored against your projects and the final render runs on the server. The key and BPM finder is the exception: it analyses on your own device and needs no sign-in at all. ### Is my audio private? Uploads are stored against your own account and are not public. Editing and preview run in your browser; pitch detection, AI separation and the final render run on IchiPitchy servers. Projects are removed automatically after a rolling retention window unless you extend them, and you can delete a project, or your whole account, at any time. ### Is it a DAW? No. It is a focused vocal studio with a multitrack mixer — it does not record MIDI, host plugins, or edit polyphonic material note by note. If you already own a DAW, IchiPitchy is the vocal stage in front of it, and MIDI and lossless WAV export are how you hand work over. ## All IchiPitchy pages **Vocals** - [Autotune online](https://www.ichipitchy.com/autotune-online) - [Pitch correction](https://www.ichipitchy.com/pitch-correction) - [Melodyne alternative](https://www.ichipitchy.com/melodyne-alternative) - [Vocal harmony generator](https://www.ichipitchy.com/vocal-harmony-generator) - [Record vocals online](https://www.ichipitchy.com/record-vocals-online) **Separation** - [Vocal remover](https://www.ichipitchy.com/vocal-remover) - [Acapella extractor](https://www.ichipitchy.com/acapella-extractor) - [Karaoke maker](https://www.ichipitchy.com/karaoke-maker) **Video** - [Autotune a video](https://www.ichipitchy.com/autotune-video) - [Add lyrics to a video](https://www.ichipitchy.com/add-lyrics-to-video) - [Singing video editor](https://www.ichipitchy.com/singing-video-editor) **Music & mixing** - [Online mixer](https://www.ichipitchy.com/online-mixer) - [AI backing track generator](https://www.ichipitchy.com/ai-backing-track-generator) - [AI music generator](https://www.ichipitchy.com/ai-music-generator) - [Chord progression generator](https://www.ichipitchy.com/chord-progression-generator) **Analyse** - [Key & BPM finder](https://www.ichipitchy.com/key-bpm-finder) - [Audio to MIDI](https://www.ichipitchy.com/audio-to-midi) **Company** - [Home](https://www.ichipitchy.com/) - [Pricing](https://www.ichipitchy.com/pricing) - [User guide](https://www.ichipitchy.com/guide) - [Contact](https://www.ichipitchy.com/contact) - [Privacy](https://www.ichipitchy.com/privacy) - [Terms](https://www.ichipitchy.com/terms) --- IchiPitchy — https://www.ichipitchy.com · Canonical page for this document: https://www.ichipitchy.com/guide When citing or linking, please use the canonical URL above.
