Chapter 3: Auto-Tune 5 Controls
This chapter is a reference for all of the controls used in the Auto-Tune 5
interface. How these controls are used together for intonation correction is
demonstrated in Chapter 4, Auto-Tune 5 Tutorial.
If you are upgrading from Auto-Tune 4, you can probably skip ahead to
Chapter 5, New Feature Quick Start Guide.
Common Controls
The following controls and displays are visible regardless of which operating mode is selected.
Their settings affect both Automatic and Graphical Modes.
Input Type
As a result
of Antares
research
into the
unique
characteristics of various types of audio
signals, Auto-Tune 5 offers a selection of
optimized processing algorithms for the most
commonly pitch-corrected inputs. Choices
include Soprano Voice, Alto/Tenor Voice, Low
Male Voice, Instrument, and Bass Instrument.
Matching the appropriate algorithm to the input
results in even faster and more accurate pitch
detection and correction.
To select the desired Input Type, click on the
Input Type pop-up and then select the desired
type from the pop-up list.
NOTE: Choosing the wrong Input
Type (or just forgetting to set it at
all) can result in compromised
performance. Pay attention.
ANOTHER NOTE: When any Input
Type other than Bass Instrument is
selected, Auto-Tune 5 is reliably able
to detect pitches down to A0 (55Hz). Selecting
Bass Instrument lowers the lowest detectable
frequency by about one octave to 25Hz.
Since the lowest E string on a bass guitar is
approximately 41Hz, Bass Instrument (as its
name so ably implies) allows you to apply pitch
correction to those pesky fretless bass lines
as well as other low bass range instruments.
However, when Bass Instrument is selected,
pitches above A4 may be incorrectly tuned
by a perfect fifth, so be sure to select Bass
Instrument only when correcting bass range
tracks.

Reference
Auto-Tune
5 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 5 will use
as a pitch reference.
NOTE: If there is a marked difference
in the two tracks, pick the cleanest,
