AN IMPORTANT NOTE:
Over the very
small intervals usually associated
with basic pitch correction, formant
shifting is essentially inaudible and Auto-
Tune’s classic pitch adjustment technology
still provides the optimum results. Formant
Correction is designed to be used with overall
transposition or on tracks where notes are
shifted by large intervals.
Correction Mode
Click the appropriate
button to select either
Automatic or Graphical
Mode.
The Options Dialog
Clicking the Options button will
bring up a window containing a
number of settings that fall into
the “set and forget” category.
They are:
BUFFER SIZE This controls the number of
seconds of memory buer space that are
permanently reserved for pitch tracking and
pitch correction data in Graphical Mode.
(There is a separate buer for each plug-in
occurrence.) To change the buer allocation,
click in the data field and enter the required
number of seconds.
Th
e maximum buer length is 14,400 seconds
(i.e., 4 hours).
NOTE: For hosts that provide valid
time information, Auto-Tune 8 will
display all tracked pitch information
at its correct time within the track. If your host
supports this capability, setting the buer to
the length of the entire song and tracking the
pitch in one pass will allow you to quickly and
easily move to each section of audio to be
corrected as necessary.
NUMBER OF UNDOS Auto-Tune 8 provides
multiple Undo/Redo capability in Graphical
Mode. Select the maximum allowable
number here (up to 20). Choosing a higher
number allocates more memory for saving
intermediate states.
NOTE: The value selected here
applies independently to both pitch
correction Undo/Redos and time
control Undo/Redos. For example, if you set
this value to 15, you will have 15 levels of undo
for pitch correction actions and an additional
15 levels for time control actions.
KNOB CONTROL Lets you select how you
want to control the “knobs” in the Auto-Tune
8 interface.
LINEAR: Position the cursor over a knob, press
and hold the left mouse button (or the only
mouse button, if you’re using a one-button
mouse) and move the cursor up or to the right
to turn the knob clockwise or down or to the
left to turn the knob counterclockwise. The
current value of the knob’s parameter appears
in its associated numeric display.
