Hailed as a "holy grail of recording," by Recording, Auto-Tune has become an indispensable recording tool for vocal processing. Designed as a plug-in for professional multi-tracking audio suites, Auto-Tune corrects intonation problems in vocals or solo instruments in real time without distortion or artifacting, while maintaining the expressiveness of the original performance. Jeff demonstrates the capabilities of this invaluable pitch correction plug-in from its graphical mode, where you can draw the desired pitch, to the Automatic Mode, where Auto-Tune corrects the input pitch to match the scale pitch. So if you're trying to save on valuable editing time, preserve a performance or create strikingly distinctive vocal effects, Jeff shows you that Auto-Tune proves itself to be a versatile tool.
