Description
PitchNet is an AI vocal pitch correction plugin from Session Loops that turns a sung performance into editable note regions, then resynthesizes the corrected result instead of only stretching the original waveform. The workflow is built for natural post-production tuning where preserving phrasing and tone matters as much as hitting the target notes.
Its editor focuses on detected pitch, note positions, note lengths, intonation, and melodic movement, so it feels closer to a graphical vocal editor than a quick insert tuner. That makes it useful for fixing individual notes, smoothing pitch drift, and reshaping a vocal line after recording.
The first public versions are still early, but the feature set is already focused: VST3 and AAX on Windows, VST3, AU, and AAX on Apple Silicon macOS, plus ARA support in compatible DAWs. Version 0.1.2 adds live audition and project save/load, which are important basics for longer vocal-editing sessions.
Use it when you want detailed note-based vocal correction without committing to a commercial vocal editor. Producers chasing hard real-time tuning may still prefer a dedicated live tuner, while PitchNet is better suited to arranged vocal repair, melody polishing, and experimental AI resynthesis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PitchNet meant for live Auto-Tune effects?
PitchNet is better treated as a graphical post-production editor than a low-latency live tuner. Its strengths are note-based edits, ARA-assisted timeline work, and natural vocal reconstruction after the take is recorded.
What changed in PitchNet 0.1.2?
Session Loops lists version 0.1.2 as adding Live Audition and Project Save/Load. The same changelog shows 0.1.0 as the initial release and 0.1.1 as a Windows scaling and Ableton Live crash-fix update.
Does PitchNet support Intel Macs?
The current Session Loops page lists the Mac build as Apple Silicon only. The Windows build is listed separately with VST3 and AAX support.
How is PitchNet different from a standard pitch shifter?
PitchNet analyzes the vocal, detects sung notes, and uses AI resynthesis to rebuild the tuned performance. That is different from simply shifting the pitch of the existing waveform up or down.
