If you aren’t satisfied with the results of the Make Auto function, simply

switch to Automatic Mode, modify any of the settings as desired, and then

return to Graphical Mode and click Make Auto again.

Note: In addition to its use as a Graphical Mode correction tool,

the Make Auto function can also be used to provide an infor-

mative visual representation of the results of Automatic Mode

settings. If there are times when you’d prefer to use Automatic

Mode, but can’t quite zero in on the ideal settings, examining

the results of various settings with the Make Auto function can

give you a visual picture of exactly what’s going on. This will

often make it readily apparent which Automatic Mode settings

need to be changed to give your desired results.

Another Note: One potentially confusing aspect of the Make

Auto function is the relationship between the Automatic Mode

Retune Speed setting and the Graphical Mode Retune Speed

setting. To summarize:

• The Automatic Mode Retune Speed controls how the input

audio would be processed in Automatic Mode. Changing this

setting will change the shape of the yellow curve that will be

created by the Make Auto function.

• The Graphical Mode Retune Speed controls how quickly the

pitch of the input audio will be changed to that of the yellow

target pitch curve by the Correct Pitch function. As mentioned

above, to precisely duplicate the results of Automatic Mode, set

the Graphical Mode Retune Speed to 0.

Tracking

The Graphical Mode Tracking control is similar in

function but separate from the Tracking control in

Automatic Mode.

In order to accurately identify the pitch of the input,

Auto-Tune 3 requires a periodically repeating wave-

form, characteristic of a voice or solo instrument. The

Tracking control determines how much variation is allowed in the incom-

ing waveform for Auto-Tune 3 to still consider it periodic.

If you are working with a well-isolated solo signal (e.g., tracking in a

studio or off of a multi-track tape) you can typically set the Tracking

control to 25 and forget it.
