Chapter 1: Getting Started
If you are new to Auto-Tune, we encourage you to read this manual and
work through the tutorials in Chapter 4. It’s the quickest way to become
familiar with what Auto-Tune 5 does and how it does it.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Auto-Tune, you will find that
most of what you’re already doing will continue to work in Auto-Tune 5, only
better. To get up to speed quickly, just check out the new feature overview below and then refer to
the detailed New Feature Quick Start Guide in Chapter 5, which will tell you everything you need to
know to make use of Auto-Tune 5’s new capabilities.
What’s New in Auto-Tune 5
The following are the key new features that have been added in Auto-Tune 5:
General Features
• Improved pitch detection algorithm:
While Auto Tune’s patented pitch detection
technology has always provided unmatched
speed and accuracy, Auto-Tune 5 introduces
improvements in performance with marginal
quality (noisy, poorly isolated, etc.) audio.
•
A sleek new interface: As Auto-Tune’s
features have proliferated from version to
version, we have continually focused on
maintaining its ease of use. With Auto-Tune
5, we have undertaken a complete graphic
redesign. The result is both easy on the
eyes and logically groups related controls for
intuitive functionality.
•
Consolidated Pitch Tracking control:
The previously separate Automatic and
Graphical Mode Tracking controls have
been consolidated into a single control and
relocated to the Options dialog for set-it-and-
forget-it simplicity.
Automatic Mode Features
• Humanize function: For those concerned
about pitch correction that is “too perfect,”
the Humanize function allows you to set
a fast retune speed for short notes, while
still allowing natural variation in held notes,
for results that are even more natural and
realistic.
•
Realtime natural vibrato adjustment:
The new realtime Natural Vibrato function
allows you to modify (either increasing or
decreasing) the depth of any vibrato that is
present in the original performance.
Graphical Mode Features
• Larger Pitch Edit Display: As you’ve no
doubt noticed, the Pitch Edit Display is now
bigger. Lots bigger.
•
Sync to host transport (host
dependent): For hosts that provide valid
time information, Auto-Tune 5 will now
maintain sync with the host program.
Once you have tracked audio and created
correction curves, you can move around in
your track at will. No more having to always
start playback at exactly the same location.
