Antares Auto-Tune 5, Owner'S Manual

Additionally, if your host does not provide valid
time information or does not strictly adhere to
its plug-in format specification, sync problems
could ensue. In that case, see the Selectable
Clock Source section below. (Again, check the
Read Me file for any specific examples.)
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.
Since all of the controls in the Clock section
are used together, we will describe them as a
group.
Determining if your host provides valid clock
information
To determine if your host supplies valid clock
information, click the Host button to select
the host-supplied clock and put your host into
Play. If Auto-Tune 5 is receiving valid timing
information from your host, the Position
display should constantly update to reflect your
current position in the track. Moving forward
or backward in the track should result in
corresponding display updates. If this is in fact
happening, you have confirmed your host’s
timing info. Simply leave the clock setting
on Host and enjoy all of Auto-Tune 5’s new
features.
On the other hand, if the display does not
update or if it does not accurately reflect your
host’s transport, Auto-Tune 5 may be getting
bad (or no) clock information. In that case, you
will need to use the Internal clock option.
Using Internal Clock Mode
To select Auto-Tune 5’s Internal clock, click the
Internal button.
To track and correct pitch in Internal Clock mode:
1. Use your host transport to move to the
beginning of the section you want to correct
and note that position, as you will need to
return to that precise place for correction.
2. Click the Reset button to set the clock
position to 00:00:0.
3. Click the Track Pitch button, play the desired
audio and then stop the transport.
4. Use the various tools described below to
create your pitch correction curves.
5. Use your host transport to return to the
precise start location defined in step 1.
6. Click the Reset button to reset the clock
position to 00:00:0.
7. Play your audio. Auto-Tune 5 will apply your
corrections.
NOTE:
Some hosts that require Internal
Clock nonetheless have the capability
to automatically reset the clock to
00:00:0. (Versions of Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools
LE prior to v7.2 specifically have this capability.)
In those cases, steps 2 and 6 above are not
necessary.
In Internal Clock Mode, the following features
are unavailable:
• Sync to Host Transport (obviously)
• Multiple simultaneous Graphical Mode
instances with windows not open
NOTE:
As the various host developers
are constantly updating their
applications’ functionality, it may be
necessary to update to the latest version of your
host to use Host Clock Mode.
In addition, we are working with host developers
to ensure that as many as possible provide valid
clock info, so even if yours doesn’t now, it may
well add that capability in a future version. (And
if it doesn’t now, you might want to drop the
developers an email and let them know you’d
like it to.)
