Tips for a better result

  1. 01
    Find the original key first.

    Use "Find the key and BPM of a song" to know where you are starting from.

  2. 02
    Small steps sound best.

    Up to 3 semitones, most songs keep a natural sound.

  3. 03
    For karaoke, remove the voice too.

    Use "Remove the vocals from a song" and change the key of the instrumental.

  4. 04
    Download WAV to keep editing.

    MP3 is smaller; WAV keeps everything for another program.

Common questions

Does the speed change?

No. Only the key changes; the song keeps the same tempo and length.

How many semitones should I move?

Each semitone is half a tone. To go from C to D, use +2. For a voice, moving 1 to 3 semitones usually sounds the most natural.

Will it sound robotic?

Small changes sound natural. The further you move, the more the voices change color, especially beyond 5 semitones.
