Graphical Mode
Using Auto-Tune 8’s graphical Note Objects
will give you the ultimate control over the
Auto-Tune Vocal Eect.
1. Since you want all of your notes quantized,
start by opening the Options dialog and
setting the default Notes Retune Speed to
0.
2. Unless you will using something other than
a standard diatonic scale, turn on Show
Lanes mode.
3. Track your audio.
4. Click the Make Notes button. If necessary,
adjust the Number of Note Objects control
to get as accurate a representation of the
desired target notes as possible.
5. Make sure that all of the Note objects in
the range where you want the eect to
happen butt up against each other (this
will ensure that all of the note transitions
are instantaneous). If they don’t, either
use the Arrow tool to extend existing Note
boundaries so that they do, or use the
Note tool to draw new notes to fill in any
gaps.
6. Play your track. If you like the result, you’re
done.
7. If you’re not happy with the result, simply
experiment with changing the pitch or
length of individual Notes. The beauty of
Note objects is that you can literally sculpt
any melodic contour to get exactly the
eect you desire.
8 Once you get the eect exactly as you like
it, Auto-Tune 8’s graphical Paste function
will allow you to copy all of the Note
objects and paste them in subsequent
verses or choruses or wherever else in your
track you’d like the same eect.
