Auto-Tune has helped push the modern era of rap music forward. Putting a melody behind one of the fastest-growing genres helped transform and catapult hip hop from the underground to the foreground of a worldwide stage.

Auto-Tune has been a staple in every one of my vocal sessions since I started in 05! I love how it puts that Pop element on every single vocal that I produce. It simply gives any vocal an urgent, youthful sound, even when the artist doesn’t necessarily need it for pitch correction.

Antares single-handedly changed how popular music is made with the earth-shattering Auto-Tune program. And now, the innovation of Auto-Tune EFX 3 is the catalyst for a new pop vocal sound. Antares is a staple for anyone making serious records.

I’ve been using Antares plug-ins since the day they came out and love their dedication to making incredible sounding and inspiring tools that continue to push the boundaries of modern music.

Auto-Tune is in use on at least one thing, sometimes everything, in every session I work on. Whether it’s for fine tuning, effect, building confidence, or just instant vibe – Auto-Tune excels like no other. It’s also a key element of the vocal effect we achieved on Bon Iver’s “22, A Million”. Harmony Engine is invaluable to the Bon Iver live show. No other harmony processor has been able to achieve the lower octaves we were looking for.

For me, Harmony Engine feels like playing a piano made out of the human voice. The nuance and texture of that plug-in is so rich, it brings any production to life. There is no secret sauce. There’s just Harmony Engine.

Auto-Tune EFX is always my go to when it comes to working on the fly with artists!

I’ve been using Auto­-Tune since the late 90s. It’s become part of the sound of the youth music movement and culture.

As mixer it’s a must have, as a producer it’s essential when spinning the creative wheel. Antares’ Auto-Tune helps meet multi platinum mix status as well as my pallium production.

Over the course of my career working with so many artists I found that everyone’s recording process is different, but the one thing every session had in common was Auto-Tune.

Auto-Tune gives the artist I work with the freedom to experiment and be creative without boundaries.

I have been using Auto-Tune for years — it’s a a must-have tool that I cannot live without. I use it on vocals, my vintage synths, guitars and more!!!!

Auto-Tune is one of those plugins that’s guaranteed a place in my sessions. 9 times out of 10 my vocal tracks have been processed using Auto-Tune at some point during the recording/mixing process.

I have been using Antares Auto Tune for over 10 Years in my productions. It’s still the best! The graphic mode allows me to keep all the natural note transitions and correct any pitch issues without hearing any artifacts. It’s why all these years later, I’m still using it!

Auto-Tune has been my go-to tuning software since Fountains Of Wayne’s Stacy’s Mom and continues through all my projects today. Auto-Tune Pro is the pinnacle of that software evolution. The Graphic Mode is where I’m at home – it’s the most transparent and fast tuning workflow I can imagine with a super quick interface and great tools to minimize mousing around. Most importantly, only the phrases I actually edit will be affected while the rest stays untouched. Add the ability to tune doubles based on the tuning information I already edited on the lead is time-saving and painless. Tuning should be this easy always. Weapon of choice and wouldn’t want to be without it.

Auto-Tune is such a HUGE part of my sound. Almost every single vocal I mix is processed in some way with Auto-Tune. From artists like Chris Brown’ who prefer the Auto-Tune Pro, to Cardi B where I used Auto Tune Live (Artists)….even trap rappers like Lil Uzi Vert want the Auto-Tune EFX+ on their vocal for the texture it provides. I literally don’t mix without it in most cases.

Antares plug ins are an irreplaceable part of my workflow and sound. Every single project I work on has Harmony Engine and multiple versions of Auto-Tune to achieve different textures. I’ve never used anything else on my vocals since day one!

Auto-Tune is a tool we use daily to allow an artist’s brain to focus on what’s important. In the writing and recording process it’s allowed our collaborators to focus less on controlling pitch and more on creating compelling melodies. It’s our go-to tool to help craft incredible performances through each artist’s unique tone and delivery.

“Auto Tune Pro is the best Auto Tune ever. New features like the Auto-Tune 5 sound emulation make it the unparalleled choice in the game.”

I don’t think i can remember a session without an Antares product on it, from the beginning Auto-Tune has helped me create the music that you know and love from your favorite artists around the world

When that chorus is sung sharp, if it’s sung well emotionally, it’s something you can manage with Auto-Tune and preserve the performance with the things that are important … use it not as a crutch, but as a tool to refine.

Auto-Tune Pro is essential to my recording process to make sure the artist is getting the sound and performance we are working towards. Auto-Tune Pro pitch correction is smooth and warm.

Working as Kuk Harrell’s protege, I’ve learned how essential Auto-Tune is to have on a session. Auto-Tune Pro makes it easy to add polish to what you’re monitoring without adding too much color. Every artist is different, but Auto-Tune Pro is an imperative tool to have.

Part of my sound on a lot of projects is the blending of non­-Western instruments with my electronic and orchestral palettes. Auto­-Tune is by far the best way to get these conflicting sonic worlds to blend seamlessly. I also use tune for vocals that need a little help, and to create some ear-bending effects with format shifting, pitch modulation, and radical transposition. It’s a far more versatile and experimental plug­-in than most people realize!

Auto-Tune for me is more than just a pitch correction tool…it’s a sound, a color and an irreplaceable tool that I lean on heavily in the studio.

Auto-Tune is by far the most important tool because its everything for me. It’s used 99% of the time whether you hear the effect or not.

Auto-Tune is more than pitch correction. I use formant and pitch knobs all the time to create interesting melodies to help build out songs.

Antares’ plug-ins are key in all of my productions. Whether it’s Auto-Tune on vocals and other tonal instruments or adding crazy textures/layers with Harmony Engine and Choir — Antares plug-ins are my go to!

Auto-Tune is an essential tool to have in the studio, and having one that sounds as good as Antares’ is vital. Whether it be on the lead or backing vocals it just helps to tighten up the mix. I’m also a huge fan of the Harmony Engine and what that can do when put subtly in the background. It’s a great thickening tool, and sounds great too.

I’m a big fan of Antares. I love to treat vocals with Auto-Tune Pro to keep the melodies in check!

Never before has a plug-in been so ubiquitous & indispensable.

Auto-Tune is essential to every session I run. Not only does it help to precisely correct artist performances in real-time, but has also become more like an instrument in shaping the sound of many artists I work with. Classic Mode is an amazing feature. It gave us the option of that Auto-Tune 5 sound we all love and Future definitely noticed the difference.

Auto-Tune is an indispensable tool in my process. I use it for both corrective and creative purposes, subtle or extreme. For tracking sessions you just can’t beat Auto Tune Live.

Auto-Tune is an essential part of my arsenal when it comes to mixing vocals. I use it for more than just pitch correction or dramatic effect. There is an intangible texture that it gives to vocals that I absolutely love.

Auto-Tune is a must have for me when recording myself or working with other artists. I love how simple, versatile, and powerful Auto-Tune is. I use Auto-Tune Pro to pitch correct vocals and instruments in vivid detail, to get that perfect take, but I also use it to experiment creatively to get a cool sound or new ideas. Auto-Tune really helps me hear what’s in my head.

The Antares Harmony Engine is the vocoder for the new generation. One of the most inspiring and creative plug ins I’ve used.

Auto-­Tune magnificently fixes pitch inaccuracies, with a range of settings from subtle and natural, to the robotic sound we all know and love. I like to adjust the speed of the tuning to establish the exact level of application that sounds appealing, as sometimes just a hint of automatic tuning sounds best. This is similar to the tuning application on many of Drake’s tracks.

I have used Auto -Tune for many years in the live touring world for some of the most prominent artists on the planet. I have dialed in various levels of Auto -Tune,  sometimes the artist wants it to sound heavily effected and sometimes transparent—and it always ends up doing the trick. It’s amazing how intuitive and creative this software is and I can’t imagine my life without it.

On Auto-Tune Pro:
Auto-Tune Pro sounds even better than before. It can go from subtle, “hardly there” correction to the “classic” Auto-Tune wild pitch correction. With the new features and options in “Pro” it’s what the studio must have moving forward.
On Harmony Engine:
Harmony Engine is a vital part to my production sound, used with many of the artists I work with. It allows you to manipulate and expand your vocal textures and tones beyond anything you could have dreamed. I consider it essential to any producer or vocal producers setup. From trying new notes in “target MIDI mode” to setting a key and letting it do its magic – it is the sound of popular music production.

Auto-Tune is a must have in every session we do, especially since the release of Auto-Tune Pro. There is a lot of flexibility with this version, because of that, we are able to use it creatively or as a technical tool! And that doesn’t just apply to vocals!

The high quality real time tuning functions of Auto­-Tune allow me to create amazing vocal stacks at breakneck speed. It’s also a great creative tool to play with formants and make new crazy sounds. It’s on every writing, production and mixing session I’m involved in.

Whether I’m running a Pro Tools or Ableton rig, I’m always running Auto-Tune.

I can‘t think of another plug–in that has had more of an influence on music in the past 10 years! We use Auto-Tune on almost everything, whether its for pitch correction that sounds natural or if we want to go for the effect.

Auto–Tune is a lifesaver in the studio. Throw it on and it’s instant gratification. Besides the obvious vocal, I actually run bass guitars/synths, fretless guitars, and all sorts of instruments through it. It tightens everything up tune wise in such an amazing way.

Antares‘ suite of tools has heavily impacted modern record making because they excel in practical applications, but also allow for infinite levels of creativity and innovation reaching far beyond pitch correction.

Auto-Tune has been an essential part of my process for the past 10 years. It gives any artist the liberty to sing their heart out and express themselves with the art of melody and harmony.  Auto-Tune has allowed artists to make incredibly creative records that have had the biggest impact on the music industry.  When I’m touring with Meek, the records with the biggest crowd participation utilize Auto-Tune.

For many years I’ve been a proud Auto­-Tune owner, and have always appreciated how subtle and musically intuitive the software can be if you use it correctly. With Auto-­Tune 8 and the introduction of Flex­-Tune, I can’t believe how easily I am able to get a vocal exactly the way I want to hear it. I have no idea how they make the zeros and ones do this, but I am a very happy camper.

Auto­-Tune is a tool I use on pretty much every vocal I engineer. I can’t remember the last time I worked on a record without it.

It’s still me because I’m phrasing the same way, I’m pronouncing the same way … I think it just adds that certain somethin’ that Swamp Dogg needs in order to compete.

I love the new Classic Mode setting in Auto-Tune Pro. It gives me that classic feel and sound of Auto-Tune 5 back! It’s definitely my go-to for tracking vocal performances.

Auto-Tune is an essential tool in every vocal session we engineer. It is a product that can withstand the demands of a fast pace vocal cutting session while maintaining the integrity of the voice. Auto-Tune is unbeatable!

I use Antares plug-ins in my studio and on stage. It allows me to create very good vocal effects and increase the spark of my creativity. I love how fast I can tune vocals and it’s very easy to use.

Auto-Tune is truly a staple in today’s music industry! Even if it’s for barely noticeable soft pitch correction, it’s harmonic character adds a modern flavor to any vocal. Not only do I use it on records I mix, but I use it routinely in my vocal harmony packs I send out for co-production.

I heard Auto­-Tune 8 today and it blew me away at how it sounded. Even cleaner & more precise. Auto­-Tune can process parts heavily or ever so slightly without losing emotion or feel. That’s huge for a producer always striving for perfection.

Auto-Tune has played a huge role in the success of my career. I use Auto-Tune on everyone’s vocal just to make sure, even if the artist doesn’t want Auto-Tune on his or her vocals. I set the Auto-Tune where you barely hear it, but you hear the pitch and key in pocket where it is supposed to be. Auto-Tune has been the standard on vocals and it’s why it’s the first thing I make sure is on point in every one of my sessions.

I have used Antares Auto-Tune for vocal tuning for about two decades, and having tried other software on the market, I can honestly say that this is the gold standard. There’s something about the way that it handles the note transitions that makes vocals sound natural and transparent, enhancing the original performance instead of adding distracting artifacts. I literally use Auto-Tune on every session. Harmony Engine ​EVO ​is great for coming up with harmony parts and ideas on the fly, and it’s an easy way to get creative in a snap or fatten up any chorus.

As a mixer, there are a few plugins that I need to have to make sure I’m compatible with any session that comes in and Auto­-Tune is at the top of that list. Most people are familiar with the “Auto-­Tune” sound that comes from using the plugin in extreme settings but even when used subtly, Auto-­Tune is amazing at helping a vocal sit in a mix to achieve the modern “pop” sound. Especially in synthesizer heavy, modern production, even a small amount of Auto­-Tune allows the vocals to seamlessly blend with the instruments, creating a cohesive mix that sounds great on radio.

With AVOX4 Antares have opened up a Pandora’s box of possibilities for me. They’ve created an essential tool set with throat-singer style tweakery for creating truly original sounds.

Using (and abusing) Auto-Tune has repeatedly set the bar for modern vocal production. From subtle to not so subtle formant shifting of vocals, instruments and effects to the classic Auto-Tune 5 sound we all loved. Auto-Tune Pro once again has given me a tool to take vocal production to the next level.

I’ve been using Auto-­Tune my entire mixing career and I can’t imaging working with out it. Flex­-Tune allows me to correct pitch issues and makes my vocals sound natural and unprocessed . I love the Harmony Engine Evo. I use it often to fatten up hook vocals and backgrounds.

I am a huge fan of the Antares product line for both creative and technical applications. Massive part of studio workflow from the writing stage all the way to the final mix. Can’t beat Auto­-Tune Live’s minimal latency during recording, while the accuracy and texture of Auto-Tune 8.1 is perfect for those finishing touches on the mix. In my opinion, one of the biggest advancements in music since digital recording and a major tool I use with Designer and loads of other artists.

Auto-Tune is one of those tools you should just have, and know well. I use it on all sorts of things from vocals to abusing pitch and creating effects alongside plugins like Throat and Harmony Engine.

My clients know that I’ll make their vocals the best they can be: in tune and in the pocket, and also totally natural sounding–­­free of any robotic tuning overtones. I don’t “auto” anything, but Auto-­Tune in Graphical Mode is one of the finest tools in my kit, and has been for 20 years.

Auto-Tune has totally redefined how we write and create music today. It’s an essential plugin to have ready to go on any session I’m a part of.

Auto-Tune Artist enables songwriters that aren’t great singers to create quality references for the artists they are working with.

I never had a session in the past 12 years where Auto-Tune was not used. I don’t just use it on vocals but on EVERYTHING!!! The possibilities are endless for me.

Antares plug-ins are essential in the modern era of music –  an irreplaceable tool.

I need tools I can rely on and Antares Auto-Tune has always been there for me.

On Auto-Tune:
Apart from its literal functionality, Auto-Tune is a creative tool that has defined pop music today.
On Harmony Engine:
We often use Harmony Engine to come up with vocal harmony ideas. For some reason, we end up keeping them – It’s absolutely fabulous.

Auto­-Tune Live delivers FUTURE HNDRXX studio sound to the stage, and the low­ latency ensures our live performance has zero problems.

I love using Auto-Tune and Harmony Engine on non-melodic information like white/background noise to get some cool neural network generated-sounding sounds. Using it in real-time mode also helps me feel comfortable on the mic when co-writing with actual singers. It’s a great normalizer and lets everyone have fun together.

Antares Auto-Tune is the reliable workhorse that gives the artist and myself the confidence in executing amazing records. It’s undeniably an integral part of my sessions. I can’t live without it.

Auto-Tune and Antares’ line of products are imperative to my creative process – point blank! Pitch correction is necessary, but I also use Auto-Tune and plug-ins like Harmony Engine and Throat to help create textures and soundscapes that make everyone in the studio say “Wow! How did you do that?!”. If I accomplish wows in the studio, I know the listener is likely to say “wow” as well. “Wow” is my primary goal, and Antares makes it easy for me to accomplish that!

When I’m tracking with an artist in FL Studio, Auto-Tune is the first plug-in I’ll turn to. Not only do I use it in my final recordings, but it gives the artist the confidence they need when they’re tracking out their ideas. It’s a must-have in my sessions.

Over the past 15-20 years Auto-Tune has become synonymous with modern day pop music and has helped shape the way artists and producers make records. Whether used in moderation for pitch correction and fine tuning or used heavily for effect, Auto-Tune has become a household name in the industry and a vital tool for any engineer/producer/artist to have at their disposal.

Auto-Tune is one of the greatest tools that I use during my recording and mixing sessions. It has many great features that helps you to stay more creative.

Auto-Tune has evolved into so much more than just tuning vocals. A lot of these new creative effects can breathe a whole new life into a record, even on instrumental stems.

Some people think I’m crazy because I track vocals through Auto-Tune. I don’t care.

Antares plug-ins provide a fun way for me to execute polished vocal ideas and create complex sonic designs for my voice in a quick, inspiring way that pushes my producing skills into new territories. I find both the Auto-Tune Pro and Auto-Tune EFX + to be a great way for me to change my perspective on a song by playing with the presets and creating other-worldly textures to the voice to create a new feeling.

Auto-Tune straight up changed the potential for creativity in the studio environment like few others. I still love finding ways to misuse it.

Antares products make me get to where I want quicker and open up a whole new realm of possibilities exceeding my expectations every time.

Antares software makes tracking faster so artists can focus their attention on creativity and leave the technical work to me. Tracking and mixing in Atlanta, GA has presented me with so many varieties of opportunities to use Auto-Tune. From saturated creative effects to simply being transparent while guiding a vocal back on key. Antares software is a flexible tool that I don’t think we’ve discovered all the possibilities for. That’s why it’s a staple in every studio.

Auto-Tune is a part of the musical lexicon. I use it on nearly everything I do and for good reason. It works so effortlessly and keeps sessions moving quickly, which allows us creatives to focus on creating, rather than fixing. I can’t imagine running a session without it.

Antares changed the game. You made a plug-in that not only assisted the project, but changed listener demand by tuning their ears. In a digital world, the voice can sometimes be the only analog instrument. Antares has built a bridge, giving the producer a “blend knob” to marry the singer to the digital track, and oh yeah, it tunes your vocals too. From extreme effects to subtle nightly use for live concerts, Antares has definitely unpacked and made a home in the music industry.

Auto-Tune is my go to plug-in in the vocal writing & recording process. It’s quick to get the effect you desire without sounding overdone and makes you immediately feel better and more connected with the idea that’s being recorded

Using the Auto-Tune Vocal Studio collection has been a game changer for me. It’s like having my own vocal producer at the click of a button. From creating harmonies to pitch correction to having a choir backing you up…not once has it let me down. You’ll find it in every single session of mine doing some very heavy lifting yet being so transparent. Thank you, Antares!

Auto-Tune – an absolute touch of excellence…

Whether I’m tracking an artist or coming up with toplines on my own, Auto-Tune Artist and Auto-Tune EFX+ make laying down ideas fun and intuitive. Couldn’t think of working without them!!!!

I love Auto-Tune for its simple plug­-n­-play nature and use it both in Auto Mode and the more detailed, power user Graphical Mode. Most recently it even helped tune­-up a live string quartet.

I’ve been using Antares products for over 20 years. There’s a reason Antares’ plug-ins are the industry standard in vocal processing.

Auto­-Tune with Flex­-Tune keeps tracks sounding natural and speeds-­up production.

I’ve tried getting away with using Auto-Tune replicas in sessions but notice the difference. You don’t need super sharp ears to hear the difference between a knockoff vs the real deal Auto-Tune by Antares.

I’m producing and vocal producing for myself and others more and more during lockdown and standard plugins aren’t doing enough to make my work sound as good as I need it to be. As well as pitch correction, software like Harmony Engine and Choir Evo are perfect for stacks and fx that push my work into new areas, which is all super vocal-focused. I also co-founded sheWrites, an international organisation that runs pro writing camps for women, and we encourage all the writers and artists we work with to self produce and be independent, especially when it comes to vocal production. Antares really do have the best software to perfect vocals and more.
