Antares Auto-Tune 5, Owner'S Manual

Page: 10 / 64

• Selectable Clock Source: For hosts that do
not provide valid time information, Auto-Tune
5’s clock display and selection functions let
you use an internal time reference for Auto-
Tune 4 style operation.
•
Realtime pitch tracking display:
During
the Track Pitch process, the graphic
representation of the pitch will be displayed
in realtime as the audio plays.
•
Full-time correction mode (host
dependent):
Whenever Auto-Tune 5 is not
specifically tracking audio (and correction
curves exist), Auto-Tune 5 will be operating
in correction mode. There is no longer any
need to press a “Correct Pitch” button.
Besides being convenient, that makes
possible the following feature:
• Multiple simultaneous Graphical Mode
instances (host dependent): You can
now have multiple instances of Auto-Tune
Graphical Mode operating on different
tracks simultaneously, even if their windows
are not open. In previous versions, since
you had to have plug-in windows open
to engage Correct Pitch mode, only open
instances could be active. No longer.
• Editing functions no longer modal : You
can now use all of the graphical editing
features while Auto-Tune 5 is either tracking
or correcting pitch.
• Enhanced Envelope Display
functionality: We’ve made some changes
to the Envelope Display to make it much
more useful for quick and easy navigation
around your audio:
When in “ALL” mode, the display
automatically scales to precisely encompass
the tracked audio (rather than defaulting to
the entire length of the buffer).
The behavior of the various editing tools
has been changed such that for every tool
except the I-Beam, moving the cursor onto
the Envelope Display causes the tool to
temporarily change into the Magnifying
Glass Tool (perfect for quickly moving to
another portion of your audio without having
to manually change tools).
Using the I-Beam to make a selection on the
Envelope Display now automatically causes
the Pitch Graph Display to move to the
selected audio.
• Realtime graphical vibrato depth
adjustment:
The Adjust Vibrato control
allows you to modify the depth of vibrato
in your audio while preserving the contour
of the original vibrato. Moving this control
results in a real-time graphical representation
of the resulting vibrato contour.
• Dedicated Snap To Note button: When
using the Line Tool, clicking this button
constrains the tool to exact scale notes.
•
Dedicated Clear All Data function:
Provides a convenient method to instantly
clear all saved tracked audio and correction
curve data.
How To Use This Manual
If this is your first experience of Auto-Tune, you
will find that Auto-Tune 5 has a very friendly
user-interface and is extraordinarily easy to
use. However, because Auto-Tune 5 does
things that have never been done before, a
few aspects of the user-interface may not
be immediately obvious. You should at least
read either Chapter 3, Auto-Tune 5 Controls,
or Chapter 4, Auto-Tune 5 Tutorial, to learn the
essential information you will need to operate
Auto-Tune 5.
And as we mentioned above, if you are
upgrading from Auto-Tune 4, go straight to
Chapter 5, the New Feature Quick Start Guide,
to learn everything you need to know (about
Auto-Tune’s new features, anyway).
