To celebrate, Soundtrap is teaming up with Antares, makers of AutoTune, to offer Soundtrap users a free month of their AutoTune plugin.
From Soundtrap, the cloud-based DAW that’s set the standard for online audio production, will offer effects VST compatibility. This means creators can use any professional effects plug-in they have a license for via the desktop version of Soundtrap. They can then instantly listen back to their creations using these effects across mobile, tablet, and web sessions and in real time on shared Soundtrap projects. Virtual instrument plugins capability will follow later this year.

“For years, artists have used Soundtrap to create high-quality music together,” explains Per Emanuelsson, founder and CEO of Soundtrap. “Today, we’re giving them even more creative power, enabling them to collaborate in the same session using their favourite industry-standard plugins, such as AutoTune. We believe this marks a step change in collaborative music production.”

“Soundtrap has found the perfect solution that lets producers, musicians, engineers, and creators do more with their VST plugins and effects while collaborating remotely,” says Jeff Wright, CEO of Antares. “We’re thrilled to work with Soundtrap to help more people unlock the power of effects like AutoTune, wherever they are and however they want to collaborate.”
VSTs are a vital part of music making and audio production, yet making them work in the cloud has been challenging. Soundtrap has consistently pushed the boundaries of cloud-based tech to better reflect what creators, producers, and musicians need. Now, their favorite EQ, reverb, delay, distortion, and pitch correction are accessible to collaborators, no matter where they are located.
The desktop version of Soundtrap scans for VSTs on a user’s machine, then syncs them with Soundtrap’s cloud-based ecosystem. The user can then combine locally installed plugins with shared projects and access their sessions on other devices. When this user collaborates remotely with someone, that person can hear the VST in real time in the Soundtrap project, even if they don’t have the same effect.
Update available worldwide from September 28, 2026. Keep reading or try and buy Soundtrap here.
