The Nudge Buttons
The Nudge buttons allow you
to move all currently selected
correction objects up or down in
precise one-pixel increments.
NOTE: If Snap To Note mode is
enabled, Note objects can not be
nudged. If you want to nudge a
Note object, first turn o Snap To Note. After
nudging the Note to its new pitch, you can
re-engage Snap To Note. The nudged note
will remain at its oset pitch (unless you
subsequently use the Arrow tool to move it, in
which case it will once again be constrained to
scale notes).
The actual pitch interval for each Nudge
step depends on the current vertical zoom
setting of the Pitch Graph. When the display
is zoomed far out, the interval is larger than
when zoomed in. The extremes of the nudge
intervals are as follows:
When zoomed all the way out: 20 cents per
nudge
When zoomed all the way in: 1 cent per nudge
For maximum control, zoom in as close as
possible to your object(s) of interest before
using the Nudge buttons.

Pitch Shifting, Formant Correction
and Throat Modeling
To use the Pitch Shifting, Formant Correction
and/or Throat Modeling functions in
Graphical Mode, refer to the descriptions of
the Transpose, Throat Length, and Formant
controls in the Common Controls section
earlier in this chapter.
Pen Tablet Input
If you do a lot of your pitch correction using
Graphical Mode, you may want to consider
using a USB pen tablet like the Wacom
Bamboo or Intuos.
A pen tablet lets you control Auto-Tune 8’s
graphical tools (as well as all the other controls)
using a familiar pen-style input device. Once
you become comfortable with one (which
usually only takes a few minutes), a pen tablet
typically oers increased drawing accuracy
with less wrist stress in long sessions. Some
tablets also include programmable function
keys for often-used keyboard commands.
