If you have a tone that you want to use as the pitch standard, select that
tone and play it in a loop. Adjust Scale Detune until the Change meter
reads zero. (You may be required to use the Edit Scale Display to remove
adjacent notes so that Auto-Tune 4 doesn’t tune to the wrong note.)

The default Scale Detune setting is 0 cents. Double-clicking the Scale
Detune knob will reset it to that value.

RETUNE SPEED
Retune Speed controls how rapidly the
pitch correction is applied to the
incoming sound. The units are millisec-
onds. A value of zero will cause
instantaneous changes from one tone
to another and will completely sup-
press a vibrato (note that any related
volume changes will remain). Values
pitch correction is applied to the
incoming sound. The units are millisec-
onds. A value of zero will cause
instantaneous changes from one tone
to another and will completely sup-
press a vibrato (note that any related
volume changes will remain). Values
from 10 to 50 are typical for vocals (unless you’re going for the now-
infamous “Cher effect,” in which case use 0). Larger values let through
more vibrato and other interpretative pitch gestures but also slow down
how rapidly pitch corrections are made.

Although the above suggestions can be used as starting points, finding the
correct Speed setting for a particular performance is largely a matter of
trial-and-error and depends on such attributes as song tempo, note dura-
tion and vocal style, among others. As always, let you ears be your guide.

TRACKING
In order to accurately identify the pitch of
the input, Auto-Tune 4 requires a periodi-
cally repeating waveform, characteristic of
a voice or solo instrument. The Tracking
control determines how much variation is
allowed in the incoming waveform for
Auto-Tune 4 to still consider it periodic.

If you are working with a well-isolated solo signal (e.g., tracking in a studio
or off of a multi-track tape) you can typically set the Tracking control to 25
and forget it.

and forget it.
If, on the other hand, your signal is noisy or not well-isolated (as might be
more common in a live performance situation) or you are dealing with a
particularly breathy or guttural voice, it may be necessary to allow more
signal variation (higher Tracking numbers). However, under these circum-
stances tracking is not guaranteed and a too “relaxed” setting may intro-
duce distortion and popping.
