All/Tie Buttons
The Envelope Graph’s
horizontal (time) scale is
controlled by the “All” and
“Tie” buttons.
Clicking the All button causes the envelope
graph to display all of the currently tracked
audio. This is useful for quickly locating and
selecting various portions of audio spread over
the duration of a song.
Clicking the Tie button slaves the position of
the Envelope Graph to that of the Pitch Graph.
When this setting is selected, the horizontal
scale of the Envelope Graph is controlled by the
Pitch Graph horizontal scale buttons.
Auto Scroll
When Auto-Scroll is on (the button is
blue), Auto-Tune 7 will automatically
scroll the Pitch Graph Display to
ensure that the current play position
is always visible in the display.
When Auto-Scroll is off (the button is pale
gray), the display will not scroll to follow the
play position.
NOTE: In addition to the above, if
Auto-Scroll is off while tracking pitch
or pitch and time, when the transport
is stopped, Auto-Tune 7 will not automatically
scale the display to encompass all of the
tracked audio, as it normally would.
This is useful when you have zoomed in to
a problematic bit of audio and want to track
it a number of times with different Tracking
settings and observe the effects of the different
settings. If Auto-Scroll were on, Auto-Tune 7
would rescale the display after each tracking
pass, annoyingly requiring you to zoom back in
to the bit you were interested in each time. With
Auto-Scroll (and therefore automatic rescaling)
off, that wouldn’t be necessary.
Editing Tools
Editing Modality
Unlike versions of Auto-Tune prior to Auto-Tune
5, with Auto-Tune 7, you are free to use any
of the graphical editing functions while either
tracking or correcting pitch.
You can, for example:
•
Draw new correction objects while you are
either tracking or correcting pitch.
•
Edit existing correction objects while
correcting pitch — even when the position
indicator is passing over the object you’re
editing (in which case the edit takes effect as
soon as you release your mouse button).
•
Click Make Curve, Import Auto or Make
Notes while tracking or correcting pitch. (If
you do this while tracking pitch, the resulting
objects will apply only to the audio that has
already been tracked at the instant you click
the respective button).
•
Cut, copy or paste correction objects while
tracking or correcting pitch.
Now, just because you can do something,
doesn’t necessarily mean you would want to
(or that it even makes sense to), but with this
functionality, you have a lot of flexibility in devel-
oping whatever workflow works best for you.
