Select Pitch Reference
Auto-Tune Live provides the ability to pitch correct
stereo tracks while maintaining the tracks’ phase
coherence. (Refer to your host application’s manual
for instructions on assigning a plug-in to a stereo
track.) Click the appropriate button to select which
of the two stereo tracks (left or right) Auto-Tune Live will use as a pitch
reference.
NOTE: If there is a marked dierence in the two tracks, pick the cleanest,
most isolated track. For example, if one track is a close mic’d vocal while
the other is mic’d from farther away for ambience, or is heavily processed,
select the close mic’d track.
ANOTHER NOTE: Auto-Tune Live will only pitch correct true stereo tracks.
If the second track (i.e., the track not selected as a pitch reference)
is simply an independent unrelated track, unpredictable (and potentially
unpleasant) sounds may result. On the other hand, something interesting
might happen. You never know.
When Auto-Tune Live is instantiated on a mono track, this control is inactive
(grayed out).
Key Selection
This control lets you select the key of the track you plan to
process.
To select the desired key, click on the Key pop-up and then
select the desired note from the pop-up list. This determines the pitch of
the first note of the scale according to the standard A3 = 440 Hertz.
Scale Selection
This control is used in combination with the Key
selection above to define the scale of the track you
plan to process.
To select a scale, click on the Scale pop up and then select the desired scale
from the pop-up list.
NOTE: To avoid having to deal with scales containing those annoying
double flats, double sharps and notes like Cb, E#, Fb and B#, Auto-Tune
Live will automatically choose the simpler of two enharmonically equivalent
scales. For example, if you select Db Major, the Edit Scale Display will duly
display the Db Major scale. However, if you then go to the Scale selection
pop-up and select Minor, the Key will automatically be changed to C# and the
Edit Scale Display will, in fact, display the much friendlier C# Minor scale.
