The Pitch Graph Display
In the process of time shifting, the articulation
and transient profile of your audio is typically
more relevant than its pitch contour. For that
reason, the amplitude envelope of the tracked
audio is now displayed as a background
element of the Pitch Graph Display. This makes
it much easier to accurately select the desired
regions for time shifting and to select the
individual points in time to shift.
The Envelope Graph Display
In addition to its traditional functions, in Auto-
Tune 7 the Envelope Graph Display provides
key visual feedback on the time shifting
process. Here’s how:
Tracked Time Indication
The display’s horizontal axis will turn red to
indicate the ranges of audio that have been
time-tracked, so you will always know which
ranges are available for time editing. This
indication is always visible, whether time
control is currently enabled or not.
Time Control Enabled Indication
When Time Control is active (via the Time
Control Enable button described below), the
display is divided horizontally into two envelope
graphs, the original and edited. When Time
control is not active, only a single envelope (the
original audio’s envelope) is displayed
Real-Time Time Shift Display
To help you visualize the affects of your edits,
whenever time control is enabled the display
will show both the original audio (in the lower
portion of the graph) and the time-shifted audio
(in the upper portion). As you make time shift
edits in the main Pitch Graph Display, you will
see the upper envelope update in real time.
This makes it extremely easy to visualize your
time edits in the context of the original audio.
Time Control Functions
The Time Control section provides time edit
control functions that are independent of the
pitch edit controls described earlier.
The Enable Button
The Enable function is an easy way to quickly
compare the effect of all of your current time
edits to your original audio.
When this button is blue, time shifting is active.
You will hear all of your current edits and are
free to make new edits. When it is gray, time
shifting is inactive. You will hear only your
original audio and no time editing is possible.
Click the button to toggle its state.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Using this button
to disable time control does not
delete any of your previous edits, it
simply disables them. If you subsequently re-
enable time control, all of your edits will once
again become active.
The Undo Button
The Undo button becomes active whenever
you make any time edit. Clicking the Undo
button once will undo the most recent edit. If
you have made multiple edits, you can continue
to click Undo to undo additional edits up to the
limit that you set in the Options dialog.
The Redo Button
The Redo button becomes active whenever
you have executed at least one time edit Undo.
Clicking the Redo button once will redo the
most recent undone edit. If you have executed
multiple undos, you can continue to click Redo
to redo additional edits up to the limit that you
set in the Options dialog.
