![]() I really like this DAW but I don’t use it as often as some of the others, so again I’ll have to check to see if I’ve missed it. Studio One doesn’t seem to come with a pitch-correction plugins. Beat Lab have produced a dedicated pitch-correction device for Ableton Live, so I need to check that out. I could be wrong and I might have missed it though – sometimes it’s not obvious what a plug-in does. You could explore one of the auto-tune options above if this is the DAW you use. I currently have version 11 of Ableton Live, and it doesn’t seem to have a pitch-correction plug-in. The note-by-note pitch and timing correction function, which is called VariAudio is only available in the Pro version. Logic Pro X also lets you do pitch and timing correction note-by-note, which is separate from the pitch correction plug-in.Ĭubase offers a pitch-correction plug-in in all the main versions of the DAW Pro, Artist and Elements. The DAW software you use will probably come with an auto-tune pitch correction plugin.Īpple’s Garageband has a quite basic pitch-correction tool, whereas Logic Pro X has a more sophisticated plug-in that lets you control various aspects of the process. You need to download it as part of their free MFreeFXBundle, and you can find out more on their website here.īeing able to used the auto-tune effect in real time during a performance can be useful, and I’ve heard that Timbaland insists on auto-tune being used when he’s recording his own vocals. There is also a free plug-in option, which is MAutoPitch by MeldaProduction. The range includes Waves Tune, for use with pre-recorded tracks and Waves Tune Real-Time, which can also be used during a performance. One of the most popular is the range made by Waves. Several other companies make similar plugins, which can be less expensive than Auto-Tune or Melodyne. ![]() Other Auto-Tune / Pitch Correction Plug-InsĪuto-Tune and Melodyne seem to be the big two pitch-correction tools for professional music production. This means that it’s less likely to be used for Cher-style auto-tune effects. Melodyne is designed mainly for manual, note-by-note pitch and timing correction (and more) rather than auto-tuning. ![]() Melodyne From CelemonyĪnother popular pitch-correction tool is Melodyne, which is produced by a company called Celemony. This varies from just automatically altering the pitch to the ability to manually edit pitch note-by-note. There are various versions that provide different levels of sophistication. Now Auto-Tune is available as a DAW plug-in and it is used widely by all sorts of vocalists and musicians. It was used as on the Cher song as a vocal effect rather than for pitch-correction. Cher Really Got Things StartedĪuto-Tune was introduced in 1997 and within a year it came to the world’s attention after being used (as everyone knows) on the Cher track “Believe”. It was originally built into hardware effects units and was designed to analyse audio signals and correct inaccurate pitches. ![]() It was invented by a former oil company engineer who had been using sound waves to detect underground oil deposits. What is Auto-Tune?Īuto-tune has become the generic term for any type of pitch-correction, and the effect might actually be produced by one of a range of devices.Īuto-Tune (with a capital “A” and “T”) is the brand name of the best-known pitch-correction system produced by Antares.Īntares Auto-Tune was the first effective pitch-correction device. Also, much of the time it’s not actually being used for pitch-correction. Auto-tune is a studio tool like many others that can help to make a track sound better. It’s as if you are suggesting their pitch is bad and needs correcting. Vocalists can also sometimes react badly if you suggest using auto-tune, or if they find out that you did use it on their vocal track. You will probably have heard people respond to a great vocal performance with, “yeah, but they’ve used auto-tune”, as if that’s cheating. There often seems to be some stigma attached to its use. The phrase “auto-tune” can have some negativity associated with it. ![]()
