![]() ![]() Weirdly Antares have made it really difficult to buy because there are now 7 versions and trying to work out which version is best for you is a bit of a minefield. Quite rightly we should start with the inventors of the technology and the classic pitch correction tool of Auto-Tune. Originally it was available in expensive hardware but it’s become a legendary, if not notorious plug-in that you can run in your DAW for not a lot of money The word “Auto-Tune” comes from a technology developed by Antares. Auto-tuning software enables some fantastic possibilities, but for most of us, it’s just very helpful. ![]() You can vocode and emulate whole choirs of robots or rework two different songs together with amazing results. You can twist and turn melodies in all sorts of directions. You can take things much deeper into machine-like qualities. You don’t have to use it to make vocals perfect, it can be part of the creative editing process. It’s no less a tool in the sound engineer’s box than adding a bit of EQ to a kick drum or compressing a guitar lead. The beauty of pitch correction software today is that it can be seamless, unobtrusive and transparent. Sometimes a fantastic performance can be ruined by tuning issues and sometimes elements of elasticity away from perfection are what make a truly epic vocal take. The tools are extraordinary and the ability to nudge a note into tune is much less stressful and time-consuming than asking a vocalist to do it all over again. Whether you believe you can spot it or not the automatic tuning of vocals is a reality of the modern digital studio.
