Chapter 2: Introducing Auto-Tune 4
Some background
In 1997, Antares Audio Technologies first introduced the ground-breaking
Auto-Tune Pitch Correcting Plug-In. Auto-Tune was a tool that actually
corrected the pitch of vocals and other solo instruments, in real time,
without distortion or artifacts, while preserving all of the expressive nuance
of the original performance. Recording Magazine called Auto-Tune a “holy
grail of recording.” And went on to say, “Bottom line, Auto-Tune is amaz-
ing... Everyone with a Mac should have this program.” (In fact, we know of
quite a few people back then who bought kilo-buck ProTools™ systems just
to be able to run Auto-Tune. )

In 2001, Auto-Tune 3 was introduced and established itself as the world-
wide standard in professional pitch correction. Today, it’s used daily by
thousands of audio professionals to save studio and editing time, ease the
frustration of endless retakes, save that otherwise once-in-a-lifetime
performance, or even to create unique special effects.

Now, never content to leave a good thing alone, Antares has created
Auto-Tune 4. Preserving the great sound quality, transparent processing,
and ease of use of Auto-Tune, Auto-Tune 4 adds significant new features
as well as a sleek new user interface.

So what exactly is Auto-Tune 4?
Auto-Tune 4 is a precision tool for correcting intonation errors or creatively
modifying the intonation of a performance. Auto-Tune 4 employs state-of-
the-art digital signal processing algorithms (many, interestingly enough,
drawn from the geophysical industry) to continuously detect the pitch of a
periodic input signal (typically a solo voice or instrument) and instantly and
seamlessly change it to a desired pitch (defined by any of a number of user-
programmable scales or through the use of graphical editing tools.).

To take maximum advantage of the power of Auto-Tune 4, you should have
a basic understanding of pitch and how Auto-Tune 4 functions to correct
pitch errors. This chapter presents basic terminology and introduces Auto-
Tune 4’s operating paradigm, giving you information you need to use it
effectively.
