Sing in tune. Live.
MicTune turns your computer into a live vocal processor: real-time pitch correction, reverb, delay, harmonies and the backing track taken from YouTube, Spotify or VLC. Free on macOS, Windows and Linux.
Singing in tune live usually takes a hardware processor or a plugin inside a DAW. MicTune does it on its own: grab a mic and headphones, play the song from any app and pick a style. Your voice is corrected in real time at very low latency, naturally or with the robotic trap effect, and the harmonies follow the song's key.
Live pitch correction, on your computer.
NATURAL correction brings your voice to the centre of the note and keeps vibrato and slides, like today's records. If you want the robotic trap snap instead, there is EFFECT. The Pitch Graph shows your sung and tuned voice live.
Play the song on YouTube, Spotify, VLC or any other app: MicTune captures it and mixes it with your voice, with no cables or extra software. Then pick a preset and press START.
Compressor, reverb, delay and a 4-voice harmonizer that follows the key and keeps the singer's timbre. Harmonies arrive a few milliseconds after your voice, like a choir: your lead voice keeps its near-zero latency.
Send the melody as MIDI notes to the MicTune MIDI In port, from Vocalis, Logic, Ableton or a keyboard: your voice is tuned to the song's exact notes, not a fixed scale, with 0 ms extra latency. If the song has a chorus track, the harmonies sing those notes with your voice.
ADVANCED mode opens up every control: humanize and formant in the correction, de-esser in the compressor, decay and damping in the reverb, filter and ping-pong in the delay. Send to headphones and PA at the same time, with mic cleanup.
The same app, with the same sound and the same look, on all three systems. It updates itself: it downloads the new version in the background and installs it when you quit, never during a live set.
Pick the file for your system. Every download comes straight from the official releases on GitHub.
Open the DMG and drag MicTune into Applications, then open it from there. Press START and allow Microphone and Audio Recording.
Run the installer: it installs for your user, no administrator password. For the MIDI guide from Vocalis create a loopMIDI port named MicTune MIDI In.
Make the AppImage executable (Properties › Allow executing, or chmod +x) and open it. PipeWire is required.
macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4…), Windows 10 (2004) or 11 64-bit, 64-bit Linux with PipeWire (Debian 13, Ubuntu 25.04 or newer). A microphone and, recommended, wired headphones.
Free. MicTune is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Antares Audio Technologies (owner of the Auto-Tune® trademark); other product names are used only to describe compatibility.
Yes, MicTune is free. If you find it useful, you can support its development with a donation.
A microphone (the built-in one, a USB mic, an audio interface or a USB mixer) and, recommended, wired headphones. Avoid Bluetooth headphones and speakers: they add 100–200 ms of delay.
Play the song on YouTube, Spotify, VLC or any app: MicTune captures it and mixes it with your voice. In Settings › Audio & Mixer choose all system audio or a single app.
Switch to NATURAL, raise SPEED to 15–30 ms or pick a natural preset such as Indie Pop, Emotional Pop or Ballad Arena. With CORRECTION at 70–85% more of your own voice remains.
The mic is picking up the speakers. Press CALIBRATE in the MIXER card and stay silent for 3 seconds, lower the speakers and use headphones.
Yes, natively. In Vocalis 1.2 turn on Setup › Audio / MIDI › Melody guide: MicTune shows VOCALIS LINK and in Simple mode key, BPM, guide and backing vocals configure themselves.
The installers are not code-signed yet. On macOS open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. On Windows, if "Windows protected your PC" appears, click More info › Run anyway. Then allow Microphone and Audio Recording.
No. MicTune is an independent live pitch-correction project; Auto-Tune® is a trademark of Antares Audio Technologies, which has no connection with MicTune.
MicTune is free and built after hours. If it makes you sing better, a donation pays for signed installers, so macOS and Windows stop asking for confirmation on first launch, and for the time to build the next versions.
