WINDOW SIZE Since some hosts and/or
plug-in formats do not support real-time plug-
in window resizing (i.e., dragging on the corner
of the window), the Window Size controls
allow you to select among three preset sizes or
specify a custom size of your choice.
The preset sizes (measured in pixels) are:
Normal: 850 wide by 630 high
Medium: 1000 wide by 600 high
Large: 1600 wide by 900 high
Clicking any of the Preset buttons will enter
those dimensions in the Width and Height
data entry fields. To enter a custom size,
simply click in the desired field and enter the
value of your choice.
The new size will take aect when you click
the Save button.
NOTE: Some hosts do not support
immediate resizing of an open plug-
in window. If yours in one of those,
after clicking Save, you will have to close the
Auto-Tune 8 window and reopen it to have the
size change take aect.
SAVE AS DEFAULT When the “Save as
default” box is checked, any changes you make
to the various Options settings are saved as
defaults for all future instances of Auto-Tune 8.
If you want to make a temporary change to
an Option setting for a particular track, but
want to retain the previous default for future
instances, uncheck the “Save as default” box
before clicking the Save button. Your modified
value will take eect in the current instance of
Auto-Tune 8, but future instances will revert to
the previously saved value.
Bypass
Auto-Tune 8 does not include a dedicated
Bypass control as that function is typically
provided by the host application’s plug-in
interface.
Automatic Mode Controls
Pitch Correction Functions
Retune Speed
Retune Speed controls
how rapidly the pitch
correction is applied
to the incoming
sound. 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 (unless you’re going for the Auto-
Tune Vocal Eect, in which case use ). Larger
values let through more vibrato and other
interpretative pitch gestures but also slow
down how rapidly pitch corrections are made.
Although the above suggestions can be used
as starting points, finding the correct Retune
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 your ears be your guide.
