I found the sound of Auto-Tune Access to be as transparent as I could expect from any version of Auto-Tune, and while I could also make it glitch pretty hard, it was perhaps not as hard as the classic Auto-Tune 5 robo-voice. When I added Auto-Tune Access to eight vocal tracks, the computer didn't even notice. On my 2013 MacBook running Pro Tools 12, I opened a mix with about 20 audio tracks and a few effects tracks. The fresh display shows, in real-time, the note that is being detected, along with the amount of tuning being applied.Īntares touts low latency with low CPU load for this plug-in, and I found that to be true. Auto-Tune Access also offers a Hold button, which freezes what's being shown in the Note Read Out Display. The Retune control has been simplified to only three settings of Fast, Medium and Slow, which I found to be effective during my use, and the Humanize function helps deal with maintaining or removing natural vibrato and pitch drift. Auto-Tune Access provides controls for Key, Scale, Retune Speed, and Humanize. In probably 90% of my sessions, I only touch two or three settings on the Auto-Tune plug-in in order to get it to do what I need. One of my favorite uses of Auto-Tune is to place it on the input of a delay plug-in to create a vocal delay throw that occasionally plays a different note than the singer actually sang.Īuto-Tune Access, the most recent release from Antares, provides the necessary controls to use Auto-Tune effectively, without all the knobs and settings that rarely get used by the average user.
Other tuning programs have become popular over the years, but Auto-Tune remains my go to plug-in for quickly and gently tuning lead and background vocals, and also for creating unusual or extreme tuning effects. When I use Auto-Tune, it's mostly in an invisible way, where even the artist may not notice that they have been pulled a bit more in tune, but I'm also quite comfortable using Auto-Tune to smash a vocal into a robot a la Cher or T-Pain (my apologies to Steve Albini). I can honestly say that quite of few of my productions would not have seen the light of day were it not for the power of Auto-Tune. I have been a user of Auto-Tune since the '90s, beginning with the ATR-1 Auto-Tune hardware box and I've owned every version of Auto-Tune software since then.
Antares has just upped its game by releasing a lower-priced version of its Auto-Tune line of pitch correction plug-ins called Auto-Tune Access.
