How to Remove Voice Vibrations Using Audacity

Audacity is a free digital audio workstation (DAW) for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems that features built-in audio effects and limited Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plug-in support. Audio engineers use unsupported VST pitch correction plug-ins to reduce the number of imperfections in recorded vocal performances. The Audacity VST Enabler plug-in expands VST support, allowing audio engineers to load VST pitch correction plug-ins within Audacity.
