depths for pitch, amplitude (loudness) and formant (resonant frequencies).
You can also specify delayed vibrato with independently programmable
onset delay and onset rate.
By combining a fast Retune Speed setting with Auto-Tune Live’s Vibrato
settings, you can even remove a performer’s own vibrato and replace it
with Auto-Tune Live’s programmed vibrato, all in real time. Also, unusual
combinations of Vibrato Waveform, Rate and Depth settings can be used
for some interesting special eects.
An example of Auto-Tune Live pitch 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.
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 Live 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 Live from trying to correct the seriously flat tail of the last note
to those pitches. See Chapter 3 for more details.)
