Available for download, Auto-Tune 8 from Antares Audio Technologies is a professional pitch and time correction plug-in that offers low-latency, accurate pitch correction of vocal performances. It's suitable for mixing applications, though its low-latency functionality makes it useful in real-time recording scenarios as well.
The plug-in allows you to correct mistakes in a performance to the closest pitch in a chosen scale. A wide variety of scales are available including minor, major, chromatic and 26 historical and microtonal scales. It can also be used to create the popular Auto-Tune vocal effect made famous by artists such as Cher and T-Pain. The software is for Mac and Windows and must be run within an Audio Units, AAX, or VST3 host.
Note:
Note: Auto-Tune 8 authorization requires an iLok USB smart key and the ability to access ilok.com (on any computer).
Automatic Mode
- Flex-Tune Natural Pitch Correction Technology: Other real-time pitch correction methods, including previous versions of Auto-Tune, pull every note towards a scale note. In contrast, Flex-Tune only provides correction when the vocalist approaches a scale note. At all other times, they are free to sing with whatever vocal gestures best express their emotional connection to their song, secure in the knowledge that Auto-Tune 8 will pass them through, exactly as they are sung
- Low Latency Mode: Auto-Tune 8's ultra-low latency mode allows for Auto-Tune use when tracking or during live performance, letting vocalists monitor their performance with no disorienting delay
Graphical Mode
- Editing Tools Active During Playback: For those who prefer editing on the fly or with looped segments, Auto-Tune 8's editing tools are now active during playback, so you never have to stop and restart just to hear the results of an edit
- Audio Feedback of Note Object Pitch: Auto-Tune's Note mode was already the easiest way to re-pitch already recorded melodies. In Auto-Tune 8, you can choose to have any note edits provide audio feedback of the note's pitch, so selecting new notes is just a matter of using your ears
- Hide or Show Amplitude Envelope in Main Edit Display: You can now choose to hide or show the amplitude envelope plot in the main edit window
