How to Correct Vocal Pitch Online with LA Studio
Load a recorded vocal into LA Studio, edit notes on the piano roll with Lyra HQ, and download a corrected WAV — no installation needed. Note editing is free; Apply limits apply.
LA Studio's browser autotune tool lets you correct vocal pitch online by loading an MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A file, editing notes on a piano roll with Lyra HQ, and downloading a corrected WAV — no software installation required.
Open the tool and follow along
Prepare your file and load it into the tool
Clip your recording to the problem phrase before loading. Short, dry audio — no heavy reverb, no loud backing instruments — reduces ambiguity for the pitch detector, making detected note boundaries more likely to follow sung notes rather than room reflections or overtones.
- Open an MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A recording in the tool. If you do not have a file ready, use the sample-voice button on the page to load a built-in example.
- After analysis, check the detected notes and the suggested key in the piano roll. If the suggestion does not match your accompaniment, choose the correct key and scale manually before making any pitch changes.
Edit notes and compare before applying
Work phrase by phrase rather than correcting the entire track at once. Comparing a short corrected segment against the original immediately reveals whether a drag moved a note to the right pitch or introduced a new problem. Adjust vibrato and formant controls only after pitch positions feel right.
- Use key-based correction to snap all notes to scale, or drag only the individual notes that are out of tune. Listen to the original first and repair only what needs it — do not force breaths or consonants into note positions.
- Compare a short phrase with the original, then adjust vibrato or formants if needed. Listen with the backing track and confirm that the words remain clear.
- When you are satisfied with the preview, press Apply. Once rendering finishes, download the corrected WAV, and keep the original recording separately in case you want to return to it.
Check the September 10 Lyra HQ listening example
The tool page includes a before-and-after listening example: the same sample vocal with individual note pitches edited using Lyra HQ, exported on September 10, 2026. The listening WAV was edited separately from the note movements shown in the walkthrough — it is not a recording of those exact drags.
- Pause one player before starting the same phrase in the other. Listen for changes at the note onset, on sustained notes, and at the ending — focus on pitch shift rather than any volume difference.
- If you prefer the original sound, return to it and try a different setting. This example uses one sample and one set of edits; treat it as a reference point, not a prediction of how your own recording will respond.
Troubleshoot detection problems and choose a correction style
Fragmented notes and notes that conflict with the backing track look similar on the piano roll but need different fixes. Fragmented notes usually point to noise or reverb in the input; conflicting notes usually mean the key or octave was detected incorrectly. Distinguish them before changing correction strength.
- If notes appear fragmented, check for breaths, noise, or reverb and retry with a shorter, cleaner vocal segment. Check the detected notes by ear as well as by looking at the piano roll.
- If detected notes conflict with the backing track, verify key, scale, and octave detection before raising correction strength. For a natural result, make small repairs and retain slides and vibrato; for a hard-tuned effect, set the song key first, then increase correction strength and speed.
Listen to the existing example and check its limitations
Limits and checks
Analyzing, editing, and auditioning notes are free. Applying the correction to the full recording is limited to one apply per day without an account and three per day with a free account; daily allowances reset on the UTC date. Pro removes the daily Apply limit.
This tool edits recorded vocals only. It is not a live microphone autotune plugin, and it does not separate every note of a chord in a finished mix for individual correction.
Vocal analysis and Lyra HQ pitch processing run in the browser for this tool. Downloading the model on first use requires a connection, and choosing cloud saving or a separate generation tool can send data to a server for that feature.
