In their own words
Performative Ear
Performative Ear is a paid pitch-correction plug-in designed for low-latency singing on Windows and macOS. Performative Ear listens to a song and sends its detected key to the pitch-correction plug-in automatically, while passing audio through unchanged without files or network use. Four correction modes are listed: Live at 1.3 ms, Crisp at 18 ms, Voice at 25 ms, and Full at 40 ms. Users can choose chromatic, major, or minor scales and toggle notes to create a custom scale. The maker lists tested support for Ableton Live 11 and 12, Cubase, FL Studio, Fender Studio Pro, Bitwig Studio, REAPER, Audacity, and GarageBand. Formats include VST3 and CLAP on Windows x64 and macOS Universal, plus Audio Unit on macOS. The price is $199 as a one-time purchase, with no free plan and a free Windows demo. One license supports three active machines.
