USE CUSTOM CURSORS Click the check box
to use Custom Cursors in Graphical Mode.
Normally, Auto-Tune 7 displays different cursor
shapes in the Pitch Graph Display to help you
select ranges and grab and drag objects (e.g.,
the object cursor, the anchor point cursor, etc.).
However, some host applications mistakenly
think that they own the cursor when it is in a
plug-in window. This may cause the cursor to
flash as the host and Auto-Tune 7 alternately
try to set the cursor shape. If this annoys you,
unclick this check box. It will stop the flashing,
but you will no longer see Auto-Tune 7’s
custom cursors.
DISPLAY VERTICAL LINE AT CURSOR TIME
POSITION
Click the check box to cause
a vertical line to be displayed at the cursor
position in Graphical Mode. This is most useful
when you are comparing the various pitch
values (tracked pitch, correction object pitch,
and output pitch) at one or more time locations
in your track.
A TIP: Since the line indicator can be
somewhat annoying during normal
editing tasks, you can, if you prefer,
uncheck this box in the Options dialog and
then assign Toggle Time Indicator to one of
the number keys as described below. That
way, you can turn it on only when you need
it, without having to call up the Options dialog
every time.
DEFAULT RETUNE SPEEDS Since Auto-Tune
7 allows independent Retune Speeds for each
correction object, we’ve provided the ability
to set custom default Retune Speeds for each
of the three object types: Lines, Curves and
Notes. These are the initial Retune Speed
values that are assigned to each newly created
object. (You may, of course, modify each
individual object’s setting as needed.)
To choose your own values, just pay attention
to what values you most commonly use for
the various objects and set those as defaults.
Update as necessary.
A TIP: Your choice of default values
will depend greatly on your particular
workflow and your typical use of
the various correction objects. If, for example,
you usually use Make Curve or Import Auto to
tweak pitch while preserving all pitch gestures,
usually use Lines for quick correction of
individual out-of-tune notes, and usually use
Note Objects for precise programming of Auto-
Tune Vocal effects, you might set the Curves
default to 0, the Lines default to 20 and the
Notes default to 0.
KEY BINDINGS The Key Bindings section
allows you to assign your most commonly used
Graphical Mode tools and controls to the 10
number keys that appear above the letter keys
on the
QWERTY portion of your keyboard.
NOTE: Since some hosts reserve the
numeric keypad for host keyboard
shortcuts even when a plug-in
window is active, the Key Bindings apply only
to the number keys on the QWERTY portion of
your keyboard.
The following functions are available for
assignment:
