We’ve all been there. You get a fantastic vocal take, but a few notes are just slightly off. You reach for your tuning plugin, and suddenly, the performance is technically perfect but all the human "feel" is gone—it's robotic, sterile, and lifeless.
Well, the Emmy® and Academy Award-winning team at Synchro Arts (the legends behind VocAlign) just dropped a solution, and it’s a big one. Meet RePitch 2, and it's not just another update—it’s a complete rethink of what vocal tuning should be.
The headline feature? This is the first vocal tuner that truly respects the groove of the performance.
SmartAttack: Quantize Without the "Robot"
The big problem with most vocal tuning is how it handles timing. Snapping every syllable to a rigid grid is what kills the natural ebb and flow of a great singer.
RePitch 2 (Standard edition) introduces SmartAttack, a new intelligent transient-detection feature. It’s smart enough to understand the rhythm and phrasing of the vocal. It identifies where timing can be tightened to the grid without destroying the natural groove.
The result is a tuned vocal that feels precise and "in the pocket," but still sounds human and expressive. This feature alone is a game-changer.
Multi-Track Editing: Your New Workflow Hero
If you’re tired of bouncing between separate plugin windows just to line up backing vocals or compare different takes, your frustration is over.
The new multi-track editing (also in RePitch 2 Standard) lets you view and edit multiple vocal tracks within a single, unified plugin window. You can tune, time-align, and compare takes all in one place. Think of the time you’ll save on comping and stacking harmonies. This is a massive workflow accelerator for complex vocal sessions.
Highlights
Faster, Cleaner, and More Intuitive
On top of those two massive features, Synchro Arts has rebuilt the entire RePitch experience from the ground up.
Redesigned UI: The new interface is cleaner, faster, and more intuitive, letting you get to work without menu-diving.
Floating Toolbar:Your most-used tools are now in a handy floating bar, so they're always right where you need them.
Improved Note Editing: Making fine adjustments—moving, splitting, or adjusting notes—is more precise and immediate than ever before.
As Patrick Bourget, VP Product at LANDR, put it, they’ve “rebuilt RePitch from the ground up to make vocal editing faster, easier, and more musical—a workflow that feels as natural as the results sound.”
