The Make Curve Button

The Make Curve button is enabled whenever there is any red

input pitch contour data present in the Pitch Graph (whether it

is displayed in the current Pitch Graph view or not). Pressing the Make

Curve button causes yellow target pitch contour objects (curves for short)

to be created from the input pitch contour data. These curve objects can

then be dragged and stretched for very meticulous pitch correction. This is

the central technique of Auto-Tune 3’s Graphical Mode and is described in

more detail in Chapter 4.

Note: If a range of time has been selected by using the Zoom/

Select Tool in the Envelope Graph, the Make Curve button

works only in the selected time range.

The Make Auto Button

The Make Auto button is enabled whenever there is any red

input pitch contour data present in the Pitch Graph (whether it

is displayed in the current Pitch Graph view or not).

Pressing the Make Auto button causes yellow target pitch contour objects

(curves for short) to be created from the red input pitch contour data. The

yellow curve(s) created by the Make Auto function is a precise representa-

tion of the pitch correction that would result from processing the tracked

input pitch through the current settings of Auto-Tune 3’s Automatic

Mode. These include the Automatic Mode’s Key and Scale selections, the

Edit Scale settings, and the Scale Detune, Retune Speed and Vibrato

settings.

Note: If a range of time has been selected by using the Zoom/

Select Tool in the Envelope Graph, the Make Auto function

works only in the selected time range.

Another Note: The Automatic Mode Tracking control is not

involved the Make Auto function. In Graphical Mode, the input

pitch has already been determined, (i.e., the red input pitch

contour), hence the Automatic Mode Tracking setting is not

needed for the Make Auto computation.

Once you have used the Make Auto function to create a yellow target

pitch curve, setting the Graphical Mode Retune Speed to 0 and clicking

Correct Pitch will result in exactly the same output as you would have

gotten by processing the audio through Automatic Mode. Alternatively,

you can adjust the Retune Speed or further edit the yellow curve using

any of the Graphical Mode tools to get precisely the effect you want.
