Audacity has been providing its users with free music production facilities for many years, and the basic functionality it includes out of the box is more than enough to produce impressive results - whatever genre of music you favour. Due to the open source architecture of Audacity, however, it is possible to extend its functionality to include features that would normally only be found in high-end software, such as auto-tuning.
Auto-tuning became popular in the late 90s, with a number of artists using this technology to reduce the pressures of performing live, and some even over-using it produce outlandish vocal effects. The technology is readily available to anyone, and doesn't need to cost anything - all you need is a PC, Audacity and a couple of small extensions. Our guide shows you how!
