Antares auto-tune-for tdm and vst Manual Do Utilizador

 

A few words from Dr. Andy

 

I remember, as if it were yesterday, sitting in my junior high school band, happily
playing away on my ßute, when I noticed that our conductor was screaming and
jumping up and down on the podium. What was this about? Suddenly, I realized she
was screaming at me. And just in time too Ñ since I was able to duck and watch a
baton ßy past my head, missing me by inches. ÒWhy [expletive] canÕt you play in
tune?Ó she asked. But I was in tune. Everybody else was out of tune. It was then I
began to learn about intonation.

Many artists struggle with intonation. An entire concert can be spoiled by a single
sour note. Many of our most celebrated entertainers spend hours in the studio doing
retake after retake, trying to sing expressively and in tune. Afterwards, their produc-
ers spend yet more time trying to correct intonation problems using inadequate tools.

Auto-Tune is dramatically changing all of that. Because of Auto-Tune, sessions can
focus on feeling and expression, rather than retakes. Studio hours are reduced and
production costs are lowered. Even artists in live performance situations can concen-
trate on interpretation, conÞdent that any pitch inaccuracies will be caught and cor-
rected before they make it out to the audience.

WhatÕs more, Auto-Tune is incredibly easy to use (a fact attested to by the thinness of
this manual). So Þre up Auto-Tune, invest a half hour or so in reading the following
pages, and prepare to make intonation problems a thing of the past.
