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 to 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.

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 controllable 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.
