This manual will teach you how to operate Antares Auto-Tune for the first time. Although the ideas are applicable to earlier Auto-Tune software versions, the capabilities presented are particularly appropriate to Auto-Tune Pro. To get started, go to each of the sections below.
What is Auto-Tune?
Powerful pitch-correction software called Auto-Tune is typically used to adjust slightly out-of-tune notes in voice performances. As a result, recording voices is far less difficult because you don’t need to record take after take in an effort to acquire the ideal recording.
Despite the fact that there is other pitch correction software available, this product’s streamlined UI makes it a straightforward and efficient pitch correction solution. Many producers and musicians, both seasoned musicians and newcomers, turn to it for their projects. However, this must not be confused with a vocoder or speak box effect. While all of them can change the tone and cadence of your voice, vocoders and talk boxes need an additional input, such a synthesizer or guitar pedal, to process the effect.
How does Auto-Tune work?
When you enter a signal, Auto-Tune first determines its pitch before tuning it to your preferences. The two operating modes for Auto-Tune Pro are Auto and Graph. Based on the chosen key and correction parameters, the plug-in automatically adjusts each note in Auto Mode to its closest pitch. You have more exact control over the pitch adjustment in Graph Mode than in Auto Mode.
While Auto Mode automatically corrects pitch, Graph Mode first scans, plays back, and analyzes the audio before writing pitch corrections. The pitch information of audio files is immediately transferred to Auto-Tune Pro as they are put into a track in supported ARA-compatible DAWs (such as Studio One 3 and 4).
Before using Antares Auto-Tune
Observe these three things before utilizing Auto-Tune.
While Auto-Tune is stuffed with features and capabilities, there are three essential things to understand before utilizing the software or, if you already have it, how to improve the sound of it. The song’s key, the type of input you’re utilizing, and the retune speed are a few examples.
1. Song’s key
You’ll be aware of your song’s key in order to select the ideal Auto-Tune key. Set Auto-Tune to the same key as your song. If it’s not adjusted properly, the pitch correction will be erratic, and you might hear something unfavorable.
There are several methods for finding the key of a song, including websites that are built on AI(artificial intelligence).
One of them is Tunebat: https://tunebat.com/Analyzer
2. Input type
The octave range of the music on which you are using Auto-Tune is also important. Soprano is the input type you’ll most likely select if you want to “autotune” a female voice. Again, if this isn’t configured properly, your sound track will sound incredibly erratic.
3. Retune speed
You’ll probably need to experiment with this setting the most. This controls how quickly or slowly the plug-in will fix a pitch for an incoming note. You’ll hear a more authentic sound and be able to hear more vibration if it’s set to a slower tempo. The faster you go, the more out of the ordinary it will sound. So, set it to 0 if you want that robotic “T-Pain autotune” sound (while working with the retune speed, you’ll probably hear terms like “set to 0” or “use the autotune knob”).
Do not be reluctant to read the Auto-Tune software handbook and discover more details about each function and control.
I’m using Antares Auto-Tune a lot. Stay tuned on @prodbydennn for soon releases.

Willingly I accept. The theme is interesting, I will take part in discussion.
