From Our Research Team:

Tune your singer!

NOTE: Beginning with version 9, Waves plug-ins no longer require an iLok to use. Click Here to learn more about registering your Waves plug-in.

Waves Tune represents the latest generation of native pitch correction! Have you ever had a nearly perfect vocal take, but the singer slid slightly out of tune in a spot or two? If you need to automatically tune a vocal track, Waves Tune will make the changes as gently or as aggressively as you like, using the default parameters or your own personalized settings. With a slew of real-time editing tools, there's nothing too big or too small for Waves Tune.

Waves Tune Pitch Correction Software At-a-Glance:
  • ReWire Support for Real-Time Edits
  • Pitch Correction and Beyond!
  • Export Notes as MIDI File
  • Manipulate Vibrato


ReWire Support for Real-Time Edits
By harnessing the power of ReWire, Waves Tune provides instant access to all playback functions including looping and scrolling. Now, there's no need to export your track for processing or to separate a chunk of your file to work on. Play cursor position and loop points can be set at any time to any session location, using your host or Waves Tune's transport controls. Set the Timeline Ruler to Bars/Beats, Minutes/Seconds, or Samples for pinpoint navigation.

Pitch Correction and Beyond!
Let's say you want to go beyond correction. Maybe your vocalist finished on an A note, but you think going up to a C would be more dramatic. No problem. Waves Tune represents each individual note as an orange block. To change the pitch, just use the Note Tool to grab the orange block and drag it up or down on the piano-roll grid. Waves Tune's advanced formant correction keeps the tone sounding completely natural, even on wide intervals. Use the keyboard graphic to hear your target note before you choose it.

Export Notes as MIDI File
Export the notes of your track as a perfect MIDI file, which can be used by a synthesizer or sampler to follow a vocal's every move-including pitch bends. Or trigger Waves Tune using an external MIDI keyboard. Waves Tune will override the Notes Grid while you're playing, and will return to normal functioning once the MIDI input stops.

Manipulate Vibrato
Waves Tune has the ability to not only detect natural vibrato, but to manipulate it as well - naturally. Click on the Natural Vibrato button and Waves Tune will highlight naturally occurring vibrato in pink. If you'd like to tame or increase what's there, just adjust the Attack and Amount parameters, and you'll see the Pitch Curve become flatter or wavier, giving you more or less of the vibrato that's already present. And if you need a totally smooth, precise vibrato or an extreme vocal effect, click on the Synth Vibrato. Its precision controls let you determine Waveform, Depth, Predelay, Attack and Rate.

Waves Tune Native Pitch Correction Software Features:
  • Work in perfect sync with your host and do all your editing from within the Waves Tune interface without being bound to a specific section of your track.
  • ReWire lets you listen to your edits in real-time, together with the rest of your tracks, starting playback from any timeline position.
  • Formant corrected pitch processing results in natural sound, with an astonishing new level of transparency and no audible phase shift.
  • Powerful yet extremely easy-to-use editing tools and a totally intuitive piano-roll screen.
  • Large, user-friendly display is easy to use and navigate and the superior Zoom Tool lets you know exactly where you are at all times.
  • Tweak Natural Vibrato for maximum realism or fine tune Synth Vibrato to transform your sound.
  • All edits are non-destructive and saved with your session.
  • Export MIDI files to double your vocal parts using your favorite synth or sampler, or to create note-for-note transcriptions.
  • Choose from dozens of standard and exotic scales, or set and save custom scales with amazing flexibility.
  • Completely compatible with multiple hosts, so you don't need more than one version.

Fix Troubles with Celtic Whistles

Waves tune is a great tool. The GUI make it VERY easy to use. Lots of control. Built for intuitive use. I record a lot of Celtic music. Whistles are often poorly intoned. Waves Tune permits me t... read more [+]o put whistles, especially when multiple whistles are used for harmonies, into precise tune. Waves Tune has fixed a lot of problems that traditional acoustic wind instruments have. Probably works well for orchestral wind instruments too. Of course the product is excellent for vocals. It’s even possible to create harmony from one track by copying it to another track and using Waves Tune to move the pitch to the desired harmony notes. Very helpful in exploring harmony options.

Waves plugins are wonderful. My only beef is their clunky “Waves System” in which these things are delivered. I use Reaper as my DAW. Waves drops its plugins all over the hard drive. It can be daunting to find them and get the correct FX pathways to the plugins. Once that task is done, the software runs perfectly. I know that Waves doesn’t support Reaper. That’s because Reaper updates its DAW once or twice a month. So, it isn’t considered a “stable” DAW. Well, okay, it’s just timely and up to date and bugs get fixed quickly.

All in all, Waves Tune is a marvelous software tool. It's well worth the price and even a bit of installation hassle. close [-]

Much better than Tune LT

I thought that tune vs. Tune Lt has no big differences, but was great my surprise when I upgraded to this version. Now my corrections are faster and sound better. Very recommendable!

Waves Tune

I purchased this program as an alternative to Autotune. My biggest problem with Autotune was that I could not get it to handle natural vibrato very well . Waves Tune seems to do a better, more control... read more [+]lable and more natural job.

The overall automatic correction on Tune seems to have a less artifacts and seems to sound a bit more natural.than Autotune based on my preliminary tests of Tune. That being said, I rarely just turn on Autotune or Waves Tune for a full automatic correction. I only fix what sounds like it needs fixing. On that subject, the steps required to only apply correction to specified parts are, in my opinion, a bit awkward in Waves Tune.

Overall I am happy with this program and it certainly does a great job of handling natural vibrato (main reason for purchase) as well as a good job on overall correction tasks. close [-]
