Disclaimer: Before all you purists out there start typing up angry comments about how Auto-Tune is killing music, just hear us out.
By now, I think we can all agree that technology has taken the front seat in driving most of contemporary music’s major innovations, whether in pop, jazz, hip-hop, or modern instrumental. You could point just as easily to the Edgeturning his guitar into an organ with effects pedals as you can to Skrillex making a (pretty darn good) living without ever learning to play an actual instrument.
But there will always be one instrument that people will have a hard time accepting technology’s ability to augment or alter: vocals.
Perhaps it was that awful pre-chorus in Cher‘s 1998 hit “Believe” that sullied it, but as soon as an artist corrects his or her pitch using Auto-Tune and his or her voice starts to digitally wander, critics immediately point to it as evidence of a lack of vocal talent. And, for sure, untalented pop artists do tend to hide behind this life-saving software, but is it always used for that purpose? Are artists really incapable of using Auto-Tune stylistically, even when they’ve got the chops to back it up?
T-Pain‘s heartfelt, stripped-down performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts series in 2014 proves, triumphantly, otherwise.

I would challenge critics to evaluate why vocals need to remain so pure and unaffected, especially when there’s a long-accepted history of guitarists, synthesists, drummers, etc. who drown their instruments in effects? Hint: They don’t.
If Dr. Dre had made all of his classic beats on an acoustic drum kit, the world would be a different place. Then again, if he hadn’t programmed them digitally, someone else would have. Auto-Tune can certainly sound tacky and unpleasant at times, and, in some situations, it’s utterly superfluous. Yet, like anything, when it’s used with subtlety and ingenuity, it can imbue a track with a compelling, unique, and undefinable sound.
Here are a few examples of artists tastefully using Auto-Tune and why it works.
1. Frank Ocean – “Chanel”
The majority of this song features Ocean’s voice au naturel with just a little bit of reverb. After a powerful vocal run where he reaches for the some of the highest notes in his chest voice, Ocean finally settles into an Auto-Tuned hook at 2:11 with the lyric, “I see both sides like Chanel.”
There’s no question that he could have sung that small bit without Auto-Tune, but it adds a robotic, almost melismatic, effect to his voice. The way his voice oscillates between notes with Auto-Tune is subtle and inhuman, and he only includes it in this one small part of the song. It’s creative and minimal, and no matter why he chose to expose the effect in that moment, nobody could argue this wasn’t a deliberate artistic decision.
2. Beyoncé – “711”
If you don’t think Beyoncé can sing, watch this.
She’s provided powerful vocal performances to her fans for years and years. No one has to wonder whether or not Beyoncé has a gorgeous, dynamic voice, yet, on occasion, when the song calls for it, she leans on Auto-Tune to create a more electronic feel.
On “711,” the Houston singer raps her way through the banger, and she uses a small dose of Auto-Tune to give her vocals that extra trappy effect to match the rapid flutter of the drum machine‘s snare hits. In this way, the effect provides a way in for her vocals to fit the song’s electronic, simulated context so they can shine within it.
3. Chance The Rapper – “Smoke Break” (feat. Future)
Chance The Rapper is an incredibly gifted rapper and vocalist. His smoky timbre and powerful voice yield soulful, honest performances whether he’s rapping or singing. Just watch him perform live.

Prior to breaking his third mixtape, Coloring Book, Chance had never tried Auto-Tune, despite some of his peers using it religiously. When the mixtape finally dropped, fans were surprised to hear the contentious effect.
But what Chance did was smart; rather than depending on it in order to hit the right notes, he uses it for stylistic purposes, like on the song above, “Smoke Break,” with Future. It elevates his sound to fit in more with the Top 40 radio pop mold, which could’ve been a strategic move to gain more national airplay. And because it’s one of only a few instances on the album that he uses it, the effect doesn’t tire us out.
4. James Blake – “Put That Away and Talk to Me”
James Blake is famous for his falsetto crooning. His cover of Feist’s “Limit to Your Love” features his voice front and center with nothing but a little bit of reverb and compression affecting it. Blake is no stranger to affecting his voice, and, on his last album, he embraced Auto-Tune on “Put That Away and Talk to Me,” above.
The way he uses the effect makes his voice sound tiny, small, and robotic. But his emotions are still there in full color — they’re just under the spell of electronic manipulation. He’s a heartbroken cyborg.
5. Kanye West – “Runaway”
Everyone knows Kanye West put out an entire album full of Auto-Tuned songs — the polarizing and essential hip-hop release 808s & Heartbreak. The song we’re going to focus on, however, isn’t from that album. In fact, it’s a song where he doesn’t even rap or sing with Auto-Tune (that you can clearly hear) at all. At the 6:05 mark, it sounds as if a distorted guitar begins to rip a very low-tuned solo.
That isn’t a guitar, though. It’s not a synthesizer either. It’s West’s voice.
He puts an ocean of distortion on his vocal track, then turns the Auto-Tune up to 11, and basically creates his own guitar solo but with his voice. It’s an innovative way to craft a solo, and while, to some, it might sound like distorted mumbling, others may passively hear it as a long guitar solo.
Auto-Tune doesn’t just have to be a mask that bad singers wear — it also can be a tool for unique creative expression in addition to crafting interesting production.

Pitch-correction Software For Mac OS & Windows- Signal Processors >Pitch-shifters
Auto-Tune is said to be the biggest-selling plug-in of all time. How does the new version shape up against the competition?
Some items of technology have acquired such an iconic status that the product name has become a verb. The classic example is the Hoover vacuum cleaner, but in the world of music technology, the same thing has happened with Auto-Tune. Revolutionary when it first appeared in 1997, the brand name has become synonymous with pitch-correction, and many producers will now simply ask the engineer or Pro Tools operator to ‘Auto-Tune it’ — meaning, of course, to apply pitch-correction — when they think a vocal has intonation issues that require attention.
Of course, just as Hoover have plenty of competition when it comes to sucking up dust from your floor, Auto-Tune is now far from the only game in town when it comes to pitch-correction. Almost every top-end DAW includes its own pitch-correction tools and, as summarised in the Alternatives box, there are a number of very creditable third-party options also. Auto-Tune is, however, still an industry standard, and the new version 8 includes a number of new features.
Correct Me If I’m Wrong
Auto Tune Karaoke Mortimers Free
Auto-Tune derives its name from its ability to automatically correct the pitch of monophonic audio such as vocals. This can be simply a case of tweaking a few key settings to taste and then letting the plug-in work its magic, and if your vocal is reasonably solid to start with, Auto-Tune’s Automatic Mode will just tighten the intonation up as much (or as little) as you require.

However, if a ‘set and forget’ approach doesn’t get the job done, then Auto-Tune also offers a Graphical Mode. Since the Evo release (in essence Auto-Tune 6, reviewed in March 2009: www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar09/articles/atevo.htm), Graphical Mode offers you the choice of three means of controlling the pitch: curves, lines or notes. While only one of these tools can be active at any point on the timeline, you can mix and match them as required within a single editing session in order to craft the best result.
For a number of iterations, Auto-Tune has also offered the ability to adjust formants, and has featured basic throat modelling that allows you to shift the gender character of the voice, as well as global pitch transposition and the ability to adjust timing in some fairly surgical ways. Add in various MIDI-related features and we have a pretty sophisticated tool set.
Auto-Tune 8 running in Graphical Mode within Cubase Pro 8.You might, then, be wondering exactly what else there is left to do in terms of basic pitch-correction. Well, manipulating the pitch and timing of vocals while still managing to create a natural-sounding result requires complex digital signal processing, and Antares have continued to refine and improve the core technology that underlies Auto-Tune — to the point where if you have projects based upon Evo (v6) or earlier, Auto-Tune 8 will not open them. You can, however, run version 8 and earlier Auto-Tune versions side-by-side in the same project, so this is not a significant issue to work around.
Core processing algorithms aside, Automatic Mode has two new headline features. First, a new Flex-Tune option has been added that, rather like some MIDI quantise systems, allows you to apply pitch-correction only when the pitch is close to a scale note; other audio is left unprocessed. Second, Auto-Tune 8 introduces a new low-latency mode which allows a singer to monitor his or her performance in real time with Auto-Tune 8’s automatic pitch-correction applied.
In Graphical Mode, Auto-Tune 8 brings a number of operational enhancements. For example, all the editing tools are now active during playback, and when you move Note objects, you can hear a pitched tone as you drag a note up or down to assist you in selecting the required pitch. There are also some new hide/show options that can de-clutter the Auto-Tune window or make it more compact.
Autopilot
While Auto-Tune’s Automatic Mode can produce brilliant results, it is seldom completely transparent even on a very good vocal performance. If you want the pitch-correction to go unnoticed to even the most discerning of ears, the obvious thing to do is to automate the plug-in’s bypass button and only engage the automatic processing on those sections that need a little help. You can then configure the Tracking, Retune Speed and Humanize controls to suit just those sections where correction is to be applied.Auto-Tune’s classic Automatic Mode now includes both the Low Latency options and the Correction Style control for accessing the Flex-Tune feature.
However, in Auto-Tune 8, you get a new option that can refine this automatic process even further: the Correction Style control. This runs from Classic at one end to None at the other via Flex-Tune and, depending upon where you set it, Auto-Tune applies its pitch-correction somewhat differently. Classic does what Auto-Tune has always done, applying pitch-correction to every note with the degree and speed based upon the Tracking, Retune Speed and Humanize controls, while None is self-explanatory. With Flex-Tune, meanwhile, you can configure the pitch-correction so that only notes close to a scale note centre get correction applied. Other elements of the singer’s performance (and which may contain significant pitch variations used for expressive purposes) can be left unaltered.
I have to say I was quite impressed with this new option. It does take a little time for your ears to detect what’s going on, but the ability to dial in as much or as little of the Flex-Tune option as you wish means you can specify how wide a range around the scale note centre you want pitch-correction to be applied. This is probably a tool that would actually be of more benefit to a better singer, as audio close to scale notes get tightened up so they are ‘on pitch’ while the more expressive (and hopefully intentional) flourishes are left well alone, immune from the artifacts that automatic pitch-correction might otherwise induce.
Moving Faster
If Automatic Mode can’t quite nail it, you have to get down and dirty with some Graphical Mode pitch manipulation. As before (and with competing products such as Melodyne), this requires the program to first ‘track’ or analyse the pitch of the audio to be processed. Auto-Tune then provides you with a combination of curves, lines and note objects that you can manually edit to achieve maximum control over the end result.
As with any manual pitch-editing process, this can be a protracted task depending upon how much correction and/or manipulation is required. Thankfully, in version 8, the most tangible changes in Graphical Mode are aimed at speeding this process up. For example, all the editing tools are now active during playback, so you can tweak notes, curves or lines while looping through a section of your project, hearing the results instantly as you work. I found this a very useful change, particularly when at the stage of adjusting Note objects. However, it is best done with Auto Scroll disabled otherwise things can get a bit graphically distracting, even with the scrolling behaviour adjustment available in the Options dialogue.
The Options page also lets you toggle on/off an option to hear a pitched tone as you drag a note up or down to assist you in selecting the required pitch. This is a simple sine-wave tone and is very useful, but the default volume caught me by surprise when I first tried it; a means of adjusting the level would be a welcome addition.
As well as options for resizing the plug-in window, Antares have also added a couple of new layout options for streamlining the interface and making it more compact. For example, you can turn off the waveform display in the main edit area if you find it distracting (although I found it automatically reappeared if I then engaged the Show Lanes option). Perhaps more likely to be useful is the option to toggle on/off the separate envelope display pane which appears below the main edit pane, especially if you are working on a smaller laptop display.
Better & Better
As mentioned earlier, Antares have not only added new features, but have also continued to improve the underlying algorithms used in Auto-Tune for both its pitch and time correction processes. Some comments on the current state of play on this front are therefore required. I’ve always liked the combination of simplicity and transparency (relative to most alternatives) that Auto-Tune’s Automatic Mode achieves. It is as easy as basic pitch-correction gets, and if all your vocal needs is a gentle nudge in the right direction, it is a great tool for the job. I regularly turn to Auto-Tune 7 for that kind of task.
However, over recent years, when I’ve had any significant manual editing of pitch to do — whether creative or corrective — I’ve got into the habit of reaching for Celemony’s Melodyne instead. The reasons have been twofold. First, to my ears, I thought I could push the pitch-shifting in Melodyne that bit harder before obvious audio artifacts appeared. And second, I found the workflow within Melodyne to be a little more streamlined than the combination of curves, lines and notes found in Auto-Tune.
However, having run through a few different vocal-processing tasks with Auto-Tune 8, I’m beginning to think I might have cause to change my habits. Although the Graphical Mode workflow improvements mentioned above have certainly helped — particularly the ability to edit during playback — I think the key changes are the underlying engine improvements and what seems to me a gradual maturing of how the Antares tool set functions.
While you can get involved with the line and curve editing, and these options are still great to have, I was particularly impressed with just how far I could go in using Note objects to manually correct or creatively adjust the pitch of my vocals, and how quickly I could do it. When you shift Note objects, small pitch-corrections are, of course, pretty much transparent; but when I wanted to restructure a melody line, shifts of several semitones were often possible before things got too extreme to be natural, and even then, selectively applying a touch of the formant/throat modelling could help a little. What particularly impressed me with these more radical pitch changes, however, was how well Auto-Tune 8 automatically handles the transitions between Note objects. And, if you resize these objects so that their ends butt up against one another on the timeline, you can get some remarkably smooth results without needing to go near the more detailed line or curve editing options.
You can adjust the automatic pitch-correction behaviour by shifting the balance between the Classic, Flex-Tune or None modes.Auto-Tune’s Options dialogue includes settings for customising the screen layout, as well as for the scrolling and audio guidance options in Graphical Mode.Of course, like Melodyne, Auto-Tune’s Graphical Mode also offers tools for adjusting the timing of a performance. Yes, you can move whole words forwards and backwards in time, but the most impressive element is how easy the Move Point tool makes it to select a word or short phrase and to then adjust its relative internal timing (for example, to stretch one a syllable while compressing another so that the whole word occupies the same overall length). As with the pitch manipulation, the processing algorithm used here is top-drawer.

Melodyne may still have some areas that it can claim as its own, such as polyphonic pitch-correction, but in terms of automatic (easy) correction, Auto-Tune has always been the market leader. However, I think with this release, for pitch manipulation of monophonic audio such as vocals or instrumental melody lines, Graphical Mode editing has reached a point where, both in terms of ease of use and the naturalness of the results, it can slug it out toe-to-toe with Melodyne.
I’m not sure Auto-Tune 8 will have existing Melodyne users involved in a mass migration but, if you haven’t given Auto-Tune a look for a little while, version 8 is a very impressive piece of software. Leaving aside the arguments over whether pitch-correction this sophisticated is a desirable thing for the music industry, Auto-Tune deserves its iconic status but, equally, it remains at the cutting edge. Whether it’s for automatic pitch-correction duties, the delights of the ‘Auto-Tune effect’ (yes, it can do that) or more detailed pitch and time manipulation, Auto-Tune 8 is still a classic.
Alternatives
Almost every major DAW now includes pitch-correction/manipulation tools within its feature set. However, when it comes to specialised third-party alternatives, the obvious competition to Auto-Tune 8 is Celemony’s Melodyne; the popular Editor version is currently €399, but there are less expensive options available. Melodyne lacks the true automatic mode found in Auto-Tune, but its graphic editing options for both pitch and timing are hugely impressive, and the polyphonic editing offered by the Editor and Studio versions is jaw-dropping. Further options include Waves’ Tune and iZotope’s Nectar 2 Production Suite, which includes not only sophisticated pitch-correction/manipulation options but also a range of other vocal production tools, including very intuitive auto-harmony generation features.
Low Latency Mode
One of the two new Automatic Mode features is perhaps aimed at the less experienced singer, but will also prove invaluable to those who deliberately use Auto-Tune as an effect. If you monitor a live vocal through Auto-Tune 8 with the Low Latency option switched off, unsurprisingly, there is a short processing delay, and if you are also listening to the unprocessed vocal, the effect is not unlike a very short slapback echo. Engage the Low Latency option and that delay pretty much disappears completely, to the point where if you monitor both dry and processed signals, all you are left with is the faintest of phasing between the two signals. Kill the dry signal and I suspect that the majority of vocalists who feel the need for a bit of Auto-Tune moral support during tracking wouldn’t even notice the processing delay in their headphone monitoring mixes.
Providing you don’t get too extreme with the Tracking and Retune Speed controls, the results are fairly transparent and, if this gives a vocalist a bit of extra confidence, might help them to leave their inhibitions behind to focus on getting the emotional side of the performance right. Perhaps this feature is not something a more experienced or technically proficient singer might need, but I can see how it would be useful when working with a less confident performer.
Pros
- Very transparent pitch and time manipulation.
- Graphical Mode has become a mature and powerful working environment.
- Flex-Tune is a great addition to Automatic Mode.
- You can still create the ‘Auto-Tune effect’.
Cons
- A few graphical quirks when editing with Auto Scroll engaged.
- A volume control for the note preview mode would be helpful.
- You can still create the ‘Auto-Tune effect’.
Summary
Whether you want simple automatic pitch-correction or detailed control for corrective or creative purposes, the latest incarnation of Antares’ classic plug-in is a fabulous tool for the task.
