YET ANOTHER NOTE:
Be cautious
about changing the Tracking value
after performing the Track Pitch +
Time function. Auto-Tune 8 uses the Tracking
setting during both the Track Pitch + Time
function and while correcting pitch. Changing
the Tracking setting after Tracking Pitch +
TIme, but before correcting, may result in
unpredictable pitch modifications or strange
artifacts.
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, you can choose to have the amplitude
envelope of the tracked audio be 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.
To display the amplitude envelope, check
“SHOW ENVELOPE IN MAIN GRAPH” in the
Options window
The Envelope Graph Display
In addition to its traditional functions, in Auto-
Tune 8 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 aects 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.
