Audio tools for the stage

Pitch correction you can sing through.

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

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.

Proof

Tested against the best, by ear.

Nothing ships on a hunch. Every audible change is measured against the industry-standard tuner on real recordings, then confirmed in blind listening before it merges. Most ideas don't survive that. The ones that ship are the ones that held up.

0:00 / 0:16

Same take — flip Dry / Corrected while it plays.

Latency gets the same measurement. End-to-end delay against the dry take, swept at 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz and three retune speeds: 28 ms in Voice mode, 44 ms in Full range, the same number at every rate and every speed. Voice mode buys its 16 ms by tracking down to 80 Hz instead of 50; notes below the floor pass through untouched.

AutoKey

Performative AutoKey

free companion plugin

Sits on the master bus and reads the key of the whole mix in real time, then hands it to Performative over a local link. It exists because a plugin sitting on the vocal can't hear the rest of the mix.
