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.
Kuk Harrell
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.
Sylvia Massy
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.
Billy Bush
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.
Louis Bell
Auto-Tune is the best way I can keep the clarity and tightness I’m constantly striving for in every mix. By having every tonal element be individually harnessed to my liking, I’m able to prevent my sonic landscape from losing it’s intended shape which ultimately makes layering any rhythmic layer or vocal part exponentially easier.
Finneas O'Connell
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.
Skrillex / Sonny Moore
Auto-Tune EFX is always my go to when it comes to working on the fly with artists!
Mike Dean
I’ve been using Auto-Tune since the late 90s. It’s become part of the sound of the youth music movement and culture.
Chris Messina
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.
Patrizio “Teezio” Pigliapoco
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.

Alex Tumay
Antares has been a part of almost every session I’ve worked on since I started engineering. Either for minor pitch-correction or the full Auto-Tune Effect. Classic Mode on Auto-Tune Pro brings back all of the feeling from Auto-Tune 5 that I’ve been longing for.
Rance Dopson
Auto-Tune gives the artist I work with the freedom to experiment and be creative without boundaries.
Che Pope
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!!!!
Josh Gudwin
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.
Jean-Marie Horvat
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.
Romesh Dodangoda
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!
Leslie Brathwaite
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.
Kenny Beats
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!
Diplo
I have always used Antares in my sessions. The new Auto-Tune EFX+ has so many great effects it’s always my first choice.
Take A Day Trip / Denzel Baptiste and David Biral
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.
Mischke
“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.”
Romil Hemnani
Auto-Tune Access is the best way to dive into everything Auto-Tune can offer.
Grimes
I literally love Antares. For me the first take is almost always the best with regards to performance and being able to focus on performance and timbre rather than technique really helps me capture the moment. Lately I’ve also been getting more into it from a creative standpoint, messing around with timbre and stuff. The human voice is the soul of music and this tool provides incredible malleability for me.
Jacquire King
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.
Nathaniel Alford
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.
Simone Torres
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.
Richard Furch
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.
Sean Phelan
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.
Fabian Marasciullo
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
Lars Stalfors
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.
Chris Chronicles
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!
Ben Baptie
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.
Dot da Genius
I’m a big fan of Antares. I love to treat vocals with Auto-Tune Pro to keep the melodies in check!
Trevor Horn
Never before has a plug-in been so ubiquitous & indispensable.
Eric Manco
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.
Enrique Larreal
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.
Kori Anders
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.
Jeff Rona
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!
Martin "Doc" McKinney
The Antares Harmony Engine is the vocoder for the new generation. One of the most inspiring and creative plug ins I’ve used.
Steven A. Williams
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.
Laura Escudé
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.
Andrew Dawson
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.
BOE Music Group: Edgar Etienne, Carlos King, Harmony Samuels, Charles Dickson, and Jose Cardosa
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!
Fabrice "Fab" Dupont
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.
Julian Nixon
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.
John Hill
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.
Jared Scharff
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.
Michael Ashby
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.
Anthony Cruz
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.
Greg Wells
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.
Ryan Shanahan
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.
Swamp Dogg
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.
Tec Beatz
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.
Damien Lewis
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.
Willie Linton
Whether I’m running a Pro Tools or Ableton rig, I’m always running Auto-Tune.
Eric "Blakk Soul" Mercer Jr.
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.
Aaron Pearce
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.
John Pēna
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.
Robert Venable
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.
Eric Racy
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.
Steve Fisk
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.
The Wildcardz
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!
Lu Diaz
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.
Thomas Kahre
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.
Michalis Michael
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.
Lars Fox
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.
Rob Cohen
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.
Major Seven
Auto-Tune Artist enables songwriters that aren’t great singers to create quality references for the artists they are working with.
Mayne Zayne, The Runners/BLVK JVCK
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.
Shin Kamiyama
Antares plug-ins are essential in the modern era of music – an irreplaceable tool.
Luiggy Santiago
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.
Matt Cohn
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.
Cy Fyre
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!
Buddy Ross
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.
Chris “Flict” Aparri
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.
San Holo
I’ve used Auto-Tune for every live show and it’s never failed on me!
T-Minus
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.
Dan Parry
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.
Vahagn Stepanyan
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.
Cyrus NOIS Taghipour
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.
Erik "Blu2th" Griggs
Some people think I’m crazy because I track vocals through Auto-Tune. I don’t care.
Kimbra
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.
David Donatien
As a producer my principal concern is to give to the voices the best place in my music. That’s why my best friend for that is the plug-in family of Antares that I use on each of my tracks.
Sky Van Hoff
Antares products make me get to where I want quicker and open up a whole new realm of possibilities exceeding my expectations every time.
Amond AJ Jackson
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.
DJ Swivel
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.
Christian "Davis" Stalnecker
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.
Chris Lake
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
Tim McClain
In a world where emotion and energy are the currency, Auto-Tune allows me to focus on the delivery of a performance without having to second-guess pitch. From the most gifted singers to those finding the freedom to let go while writing, Auto-Tune is a tool that consistently allows me to provide a better experience for the artists I work with. Any tool that directly improves the artist experience is a tool that can’t be replaced.
OJ & Fridel
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.
Jhair Lazo-Villacorta
Antares has been a part of my workflow since I started my journey in recording. I love the fact that I can use Auto-Tune in a very transparent way but also have the option to go crazy with it.
Alex Kopp
I need tools I can rely on and Antares Auto-Tune has always been there for me.
Shreyas Srinivas
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!
Richard Bona
Auto-Tune – an absolute touch of excellence…
LordQuest
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!!!!
Brad Cook
Auto-Tune straight up changed the potential for creativity in the studio environment like few others. I still love finding ways to misuse it.
Paul Sidoti
I’ve been using Antares products for over 20 years. There’s a reason Antares’ plug-ins are the industry standard in vocal processing.
Bobby Crown
Auto-Tune Live delivers FUTURE HNDRXX studio sound to the stage, and the low latency ensures our live performance has zero problems.
Stewart Hidalgo
My clients and I tend to live outside of the creative box. Auto-Tune provides us with the sounds and landscapes that play an integral role in helping us to realize our vision.
Violet Skies
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.
FrancisGotHeat
There’s not one session I do without using Auto-Tune. It’s just fast and easy to throw on and it sounds good. I don’t just use them for artists. I even use it on myself when making samples, it gives me the ability to use my own voice to sample, even though I can’t sing.
Sarah Schachner
Harmony-Engine is an incredibly useful tool for sound design not only with voice, but many other sound sources as well. It never fails to inspire creativity and I love the depth of control it offers.
Jake Viatore
Nick Mac
Auto-Tune has been a cornerstone of my workflow since the beginning of my career. It’s a vital tool in my vocal production arsenal I couldn’t work without.
Justine Blazer
Working with Auto-Tune is an essential part of my brand, sound, and style for all my vocal productions pop to country to rock. Yes, it offers the traditional pitch correction, but I like to use Auto-Tune in more creative and unconventional ways, like creating samples, sounds, side chaining as a sonic effect or running it as a stereo aux send on delay and reverb busses only. It’s fun to play around with it and expands the creativity.
Peter McCabe
Auto-Tune with Flex-Tune keeps tracks sounding natural and speeds-up production.
Igor Mamet
Auto-Tune provides a pocket for the artist to sit in while being able to experiment within the key of the song.
John Vitale
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.
ARYAY
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.
