ANOTHER NOTE: As mentioned above, although we perceive vibrato
primarily as a variation in pitch, in most cases there is also matching
(though more subtle) variations in amplitude and timbre. Setting Auto-Tune
Live’s Retune Speed to 0 will remove an existing vibrato’s pitch variation,
but the amplitude and timbral variation will remain. If you then apply a new
vibrato using Auto-Tune Live’s Create Vibrato section, the results may be less
than convincing. Auto-Tune Live’s Vibrato section is more often useful for
adding a vibrato to an input that originally had none, or for various special
eects.
YET ANOTHER NOTE: The Create Vibrato controls function completely
independently of the Natural Vibrato function. Changes in that function
have no direct eect on the depth of any vibrato resulting from the Create
Vibrato controls. However, since both functions can operate simultaneously,
they can interact in ways that may or may not be useful, depending on your
intent. In most cases, you should probably use one or the other.
The Pitch Change Meter
The Pitch Change Amount Indicator
The Pitch Change Indicator shows you how much the pitch is being
changed, measured in cents (100 cents = one semitone). For example, if the
indicator bar has moved to the left to -50, it indicates that the input pitch is
50 cents too sharp and Auto-Tune Live is lowering the pitch by 50 cents to
bring the input back to the desired pitch.
Hold Button
Clicking and holding the word “Hold” while Auto-Tune Live is processing
audio will freeze both the Pitch Change Amount Indicator and the blue
Detected Pitch indication on the virtual keyboard for as long as you hold
down the mouse button. This is useful for figuring out exactly what’s going
on with a particular note in a performance that would otherwise pass too
quickly to see.
