Singing with confidence is the key to delivering a great vocal performance. And nothing builds confidence in a vocalist more than knowing that hitting a few pitchy notes here and there isn’t going to ruin a performance. That’s why when many of the world’s biggest recording artists go on tour, they don’t go onstage without AutoTune Artist. Auto-Tune Artist delivers all of the advanced real-time pitch correction features of AutoTune Pro, but is designed specifically for performing and tracking live. In this introduction to Auto-Tune Artist tutorial, you’ll learn the basics of how you can get the most out of the software from the studio to the stage.
Auto-Tune Artist is available with Auto-Tune Unlimited, the ultimate collection of professional vocal effects. Subscribe now, or download your fully-featured, FREE 14-day trial of Auto-Tune Unlimited today.
What Is AutoTune Artist?
AutoTune Artist is a sophisticated version of Auto-Tune that’s optimized for live performance. It includes all of the advanced real-time pitch correction features of AutoTune Pro, and is optimized for low-latency performance on stage or in the studio.
AutoTune Artist, the newest evolution of AutoTune Live, includes Flex-Tune for natural, transparent pitch correction; Classic Mode, for the “AutoTune 5 sound”; and Transpose, for real-time pitch shifting. And, it’s compatible with the Auto-Key plugin, which automatically detects music key and scale and sends the information to all instances of AutoTune with a single click.
AutoTune Artist also features the Humanize function, which preserves subtle pitch variations on sustained notes; automatic formant correction, adjustable throat modeling, real-time MIDI control, and advanced vibrato controls.
Who Is AutoTune Artist for?
AutoTune Artist is professional real-time pitch-correction software, designed to meet the needs of working musicians, producers, recording engineers, and live sound engineers. It’s optimized for low-latency processing for both stage and studio use. AutoTune Artist includes the complete real-time feature set of AutoTune Pro, making it a pro-level upgrade from other Auto-Tune editions, such as AutoTune Access or AutoTune EFX+.
Auto-Tune Artist delivers the power of Auto-Tune Pro, only optimized for live performances.
How to Use AutoTune Artist
AutoTune Artist’s interface is very similar to AutoTune Pro. The main difference between these two editions is that AutoTune Artist lacks the famous Graph Mode included with AutoTune Pro. By omitting Graph Mode (which isn’t applicable for live use), AutoTune Artist offers the power of AutoTune Pro in a simplified format that makes it ideal for use in a live environment. (Note: Both AutoTune Artist and AutoTune Pro are included with every subscription to AutoTune Unlimited.)
While AutoTune Artist is designed for maximum ease of use, it’s also packed with powerful features. That’s why it includes both Basic and Advanced Views, so you can quickly find the tools you need, when you need them.
With five editions of AutoTune available, you might be wondering which is the right one for you. With AutoTune Unlimited, you don’t have to choose. AutoTune Unlimited comes complete with AutoTune Artist, as well as every other current version of Auto-Tune. Plus, you’ll get the entire toolkit of professional-grade vocal effects plugins (including everything from mic modelers to harmonizers and more), free software upgrades, and step-by-step tutorials.
