Vocal production can mean subtle pitch correction or a obvious modern effect — and prices online reflect that range. At GigTunes, pricing is tied to how many vocal layers you need, how much editing is involved, and which tier you choose.
Short answer: vocal production starts at €49
Vocal production at GigTunes starts at €49 (Starter tier).
| Tier | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | €49 | Single lead vocal, natural tuning, 1 revision |
| Studio | €89 | Lead + doubles + adlibs, 2 revisions |
| Pro | €149 | Stacks, harmonies, complex parts, 3 revisions |

What is vocal production?
Vocal production adjusts pitch and often timing so vocals sit in key and groove with the beat. Done well, it sounds natural — listeners do not hear “the effect.” Done creatively, it can sound deliberately modern (common in pop, trap and hyperpop).
GigTunes engineers tune with musical context, not just snapping notes to a grid.
What is included?
Every tier includes:
- Pitch correction appropriate to your genre
- Timing alignment (basic to advanced by tier)
- Revision rounds (1, 2 or 3)
- Delivery of tuned vocal files for your mix or our mixing team
- Communication via your GigTunes workspace
What affects the price?
1. How many vocal tracks
Starter focuses on one lead vocal.
Studio covers lead, doubles and adlibs — typical for most songs.
Pro handles stacks, harmonies and complex arrangements where many layers must glue together.
2. Enhancements
Optional enhancements at checkout:
- Tuning style — transparent natural vs more audible Auto-Tune character
- Vocal cleanup — breaths, clicks, de-essing
- Extra vocal layers — beyond tier coverage
- Advanced timing alignment — tighter phrasing across stacks
- Extra revision round
- Express / priority delivery
3. Raw recording quality
Home recordings with noise, room tone or heavy compression may need track editing or cleanup enhancements first. Cleaner raw vocals = faster tuning and fewer surprises.
See How to prepare vocals for tuning.
4. Booking with mixing
Tuning is often part of a larger order:
- Vocal production only — you mix elsewhere
- Tuning + mixing — we tune, then mix your song
- Release Package — editing, tuning, mixing and mastering in one workflow
Vocal production vs mixing
| Service | Role |
|---|---|
| Vocal production | Fix pitch and timing on vocal files |
| Mixing | Balance all instruments and vocals together |
Tuning is not a substitute for mixing. A tuned vocal still needs level, EQ, compression and space in the full mix.
Typical workflows & budgets
| Goal | Typical booking |
|---|---|
| Fix lead vocal only | Starter (€49+) |
| Full vocal production (doubles, adlibs) | Studio (€89+) |
| Heavy stacks / harmonies | Pro (€149+) |
| Full release | Tuning + mixing (+ mastering) |
Combine services in one order; express bundle rules may apply when multiple services use rush delivery.
