Autotune 8 full en pro tools 11 mac5/29/2023 Installation and registering via iLok authorization was easy and without any problems. We used Auto-Tune 7 on our Apple Mac Pro (8 core, 8 GB) running Avid Pro Tools LE 8.0.5. The bottom display splits into two waveforms during Time Correction, displaying the original timing on the bottom and the corrected timing on the top. Below the editing window is either a zoomed-out overview of all tracked audio, or a direct mirror of the editing window’s time selection. IThe audio (your track) loads into the plug-in in real time, and you get an overview of the waveform’s amplitude behind the editing display’s pitch-tracking curves. Now that we have gotten through all that, the big news today is certainly the Time Correction set of tools, as shown here: But if you do want to magically create vibrato, there are controls for that, too! Note that this particular feature only works if there is vibrato in the performance – it doesn’t magically create vibrato. The Natural Vibrato feature lets you increase or decrease the depth of vibrato in a performance. The Humanize feature lets you apply slower retune speeds to only the sustained notes. If you set the Retune Speed to optimally treat the short words, it could render long-held notes a little sterile. The Humanize feature exists for use with vocal performances that incorporate a mix of short words and long-held notes. Scales can be detuned from standard A-440 Hz pitch in case you’re working with a performance matched to an out of tune instrument like an old organ, a lazy guitar player who didn’t tune properly, or most likely, recording with an acoustic piano that had concert tuning or otherwise drifted from standard pitch. Not only can you define custom scales, but with Auto-Tune’s MIDI capabilities, you can either play notes to match the vocal performance or you can supply the “proper” vocal melody via a keyboard sequence and have your vocal track pitch corrected to the performance.Ī Targeting Ignores Vibrato button enables a feature that attempts to discern vibrato in a vocal performance and not pitch correct it. Pitch doesn’t have to be corrected to a predefined scale. In Graphical mode, you can assign a unique retune speed to each individual note or range of corrected audio material.īypass and Remove buttons let you select notes in the chosen scale to either remove (thus causing a note to be pitch-corrected to the nearest available note in the scale) or to bypass correction, leaving certain notes unaffected by pitch correction. Faster settings are useful in pitch correcting vocals with short words/notes, while the slower settings are better for use with long-held notes and performances with portamento. The Retune Speed function lets you adjust how fast or slow pitch correction is applied to the audio source. The waveform is displayed graphically and the plug-in provides various tools to visually correct/edit the waveform with surgical precision (i.e., time and pitch). The other mode, Graphical Mode, is what the name implies. In Automatic mode, you select a key, a scale type, and a vocal range (alto, soprano, etc.) and let Auto-Tune correct vocal performances on-the-fly. At the moment, if you purchase the TDM version, Antares is bundling the native version along with it as a “bonus.” Are you up for it?Īuto-Tune 7 introduces some cool new features, but first, here’s a quick overview of some of the previously established features:Īuto-Tune 7 is available in the Native version that supports RTAS, VST, and AU formats, and separately in a TDM version for Pro Tools HD systems. The only small nugget of concern is the learning curve to take advantage of the new features. This is no less a great product than it was in previous iterations. It is hard to believe Auto-Tune was originally introduced 15 years ago, and clearly the team at Antares is not content to rest on past accomplishments. Further, Auto-Tune 7 borrows technology from Auto-Tune Evo and upgrades it, providing finer pitch control and throat modeling for changing the actual vocal timbre and character of the source. Once again, Antares has upped the ante by not only allowing pitch correction, but now also time manipulation, in the same graphical window. Additionaly, our review of Auto-Tune Evo (which some might consider “Auto-Tune Light” version 6) is available here. It would be hard to imagine that anyone involved in pro music hasn’t heard of Auto-Tune, but for those who have never made use of the industry-standard pitch correction software, an in-depth review of Auto-Tune 5 from a few years ago is available here.
