An Example of Automatic Mode Correction
As an example, consider this before-and-after graphic representation of
the pitch of a vocal phrase that contains both vibrato and expressive
gestures.

ORIGINAL
PERFORMANCE
CORRECTED BY
AUTO-TUNE 3
In the original performance, we can see that although the final note
should be centered around D, the vocalist allowed the tail of the note to
fall nearly three semitones flat. The “after” plot is the result of passing
this phrase through Auto-Tune 3’s Automatic Mode programmed to a D
Major Scale (with C # and B set to ”Remove”) and a Retune Speed setting
of 25. That Retune Speed causes the pitch center to be moved to D, while
still retaining the vibrato and expressive gestures. (Setting C # and B to
”Remove” is necessary to keep Auto-Tune 3 from trying to correct the
seriously flat tail of the last note to those pitches. See Chapter 3 for more
details.)
