9. Now, leaving all other settings the same,
click Targeting Ignores Vibrato. With
Targeting Ignores Vibrato engaged, Auto-
Tune 8’s vibrato identification algorithm
recognizes the pitch excursions as vibrato
and continues to use “G” as the target
pitch.
Next, we’ll use Graphical Mode for a dramatic
graphic demonstration of the eect of
Targeting Ignores Vibrato:
1. Still using “wide_vibrato,” set up Auto-
Tune 8 as described in Steps 1-5 above.
2. Set Retune Speed to .
3. Make sure Targeting Ignores Vibrato is O.
4. Set Auto-Tune 8 to Graphical Mode.
5. Click the Track Pitch button and play
wide_vibrato through Auto-Tune 8. A red
curve representing the pitch contour of
wide_vibrato will be drawn to the screen
as the file plays.
6. Stop playback and click the Track Pitch
button again to stop the tracking function.
7. Click the Import Auto button. A blue curve
will appear. This curve represents the
pitch correction that would result from
processing the audio with the current
Automatic Mode settings. Note all the
instances in which Auto-Tune 8 identifies
G# or F# as the target pitch.
8. Set Auto-Tune 8 back to Automatic Mode.
9. Set Targeting Ignores Vibrato to On.
10. Return once again to Graphical Mode.
11. Click Import Auto (there is no need to track
pitch again, as the red pitch curve is still
present in the Pitch Graph).
12. Notice that the blue curve is now a straight
line on “G,” indicating that the Improved
Targeting algorithm has accurately
identified the pitch excursions as vibrato
and has therefore ignored it as far as
target pitch selection is concerned.
Tutorial 4:
Natural Vibrato Function
This tutorial will demonstrate the use of the
Natural Vibrato function using the same audio
file we used in the previous tutorial.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import “wide_vibrato” into a track
of your host program. This is a recording of
a male voice singing a sustained “G” with a
pronounced vibrato. Play the track so that
you are familiar with the original audio.
2. Set up Auto-Tune 8 to be an insert eect
on that track.
3. Set Auto-Tune 8 to Automatic Mode.
4. Set the Key to “C” and the Scale to
“Chromatic.”
5. Set the Input Type to Low Male Voice
6. Set Retune Speed to a value of 24.
7. Set “wide_vibrato” to loop continuously
and put your host program into Play
mode.
8. Set Natural Vibrato to 12 and note the
eect on the vibrato. Set Natural Vibrato
to -12 and note the eect on the vibrato.
9. Set all Scale notes to Bypass to disable
any pitch correction. Again, adjust Natural
Vibrato as in Step 8 and note that its eect
is still active.
