Chapter 4: Auto-Tune Live Tutorials
This chapter introduces you to how Auto-Tune Live works by guiding you
through a number of brief tutorials.
These tutorials make use of a number of audio files. (We will assume that
you are familiar with loading audio files into your host application.)
If you purchased a packaged version of Auto-Tune Live, your will find the
required files in the “Tutorial Audio” folder on the installation DVD ROM.
If you purchased your copy of Auto-Tune Live via download, you will have
to separately download the Tutorial Audio files from the same web page
from which you downloaded Auto-Tune Live.
Tutorial 1:
Pitch Correction Basics
This tutorial will guide you through the basic Auto-Tune pitch correction
functions using the file “A2 -A3-A2 sweep.” This is a simple synthesized
waveform sweeping slowly from A2 up to A3 and back to A2. While it is
unlikely that you’d ever need to process such an input with Auto-Tune Live,
it provides a very clear example of what each of the main Auto-Tune Live
controls do.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import “A2-A3-A2 sweep” into a track of your host program. Play
the track so that you are familiar with the original audio.
2. Set up Auto-Tune Live to be an insert eect on that track.
3. Set the Key to “A” and the Scale to “Major.”
4. Set the Retune Speed to zero.
5. Set “A2-A3-A2 sweep” to loop continuously and put your host program
into Play mode.
What you will hear is an A major scale. This is because Auto-Tune Live is
continuously comparing the input pitch to the notes of the A major scale
and instantaneously correcting the output pitch to the nearest of the scale
tones.
