The units are milliseconds. A value of zero will cause instantaneous changes from one tone to another and will completely suppress a vibrato (note that any related volume changes will remain). Values from 10 to 50 are typical for vocals. Larger values let through more vibrato and other interpretative pitch gestures but also slow down how rapidly pitch corrections are made.<\/p>\n<p>Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, finding the correct Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter of trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note duration and vocal style, among others. As always, let you ears be your guide. The default Retune Speed is 20. Double-clicking the Retune Speed knob will reset it to that value.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Fast Speed settings are appropriate for short duration notes and for mechanical instruments, like an oboe or clarinet, whose pitch typically changes almost instantly. A fast enough setting will also minimize or completely remove a vibrato, as well as produce the infamous &#8220;Cher effect.&#8221;  If you&#8217;re going for the &#8220;Cher effect,&#8221; use 0 as the setting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Slow Speed settings, on the other hand, are appropriate for longer notes where you want expressive pitch gestures (like vibrato) to come through at the output and for vocal and instrumental styles that are typified by gradual slides (portamento) between pitches. An appropriately selected slow setting can leave expressive gestures intact while moving the average pitch to the correct tonal center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34719],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33177],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How does Auto-Tune&#039;s Retune Speed setting work? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/auto-tune-retune-speed-setting-work\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How does Auto-Tune&#039;s Retune Speed setting work? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Retune Speed controls how rapidly the pitch correction is applied to the incoming sound.
