3: Auto-Tune EFX  Tutorials
This chapter introduces you to how Auto-Tune EFX  works by guiding you through three brief
tutorials. The tutorials require a number of audio files. They can be found on the Auto-Tune EFX 
DVD, or you can download them from:
http://www.antarestech.com/download/latest-software.php
Then just follow these steps:
Tutorial 1: Pitch Correction
1. Import the tutorial files “dont_give_up_
vocal.wav” and “dont_give_up_accomp.
wav” onto two tracks of your project.
2. Play the tracks and adjust their relative
levels to your taste. Note the various pitch
problems in the vocal.*
3. Instantiate Auto-Tune EFX  on the vocal
track. Set Retune Speed to “.”
4. Set Vocal Type to “soprano.” Set Key to “D”
and set Scale to “major.”
5. Play your project. Voilà! Instant pitch
correction.
* Our very talented singer made us promise
to tell you that she did this on purpose at
our request.
Tutorial 2: Auto-Tune Vocal
Eect
1. Create a new project in your host and
import the tutorial files “hidin_vocal.wav”
and “hidin_accomp.wav” onto two tracks
of the project.
2. Play the tracks and adjust their relative
levels to your taste.
3. Instantiate Auto-Tune EFX  on the vocal
track. Set Retune Speed to “.”
4. Set Vocal Type to “alto/tenor.” Set Key to
“A flat” and set Scale to “minor.”
5. Play your project. Voilà! Instant Auto-Tune
Vocal Eect.
6. Change the Retune Speed to “” and play
again to hear the dierence.
7. Switch back to a Retune Speed of 0 and
click the A#/ Bb button to remove that
note from the scale.
8. Play the project again and note that you’ve
subtly changed the melody. The syllable
“-ther” of “together” and the word “on”
at the end of the second phrase are now
forced to “B” instead of their original Bb.
