Auto-Tune is a powerful pitch-correction software and is primarily used to fix slightly off-pitch notes in vocal performances. This makes recording vocals a lot less painful since you don\u2019t have to record take after take trying to get that perfect recording. The Auto-Tune software is also trendy and well-known for getting that very robotic sound you hear from artists like T-Pain and Daft Punk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there is other pitch correction software on the market, its streamlined interface makes it a simple and effective pitch correction tool. It is the go-to for many producers and musicians, beginners and professionals alike. This shouldn\u2019t be confused with a vocoder<\/a> or talk box <\/a>effect, though. While they all can alter the sound and timbre<\/a> of your voice, vocoders and talk boxes require a secondary input such as a synth<\/a> or guitar pedal<\/a> to process the effect.

\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nHow does Auto-Tune work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Auto-Tune works by receiving an input signal, detecting its pitch, and then altering it to your specifications. Auto-Tune Pro has two operation modes: Auto or Graph. In Auto Mode<\/strong>, the plug-in automatically adjusts each note to its closest pitch based on the selected key and correction settings. Graph Mode<\/strong> takes Auto Mode one step further by giving you precise control over the pitch correction.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile Auto Mode corrects pitch right away, Graph Mode requires the audio first needs to be scanned, played back, and analyzed before pitch corrections can be written. Supported ARA-compatible DAW\u2019s<\/a> (like <\/em>Studio One 3 and 4<\/em><\/a>)<\/em> do not require analyzing audio files as the audio\u2019s pitch information is automatically sent to Auto-Tune Pro once inserted to the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
EFX 3 and AVOX 4 plug-ins have specific features intended for processing or effects. They do not offer a graph mode but are instead designed as automatic plug-in effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
