How to use this manual
If this is your first experience of Auto-Tune,
you will find that Auto-Tune Evo has a very
friendly user-interface and is extraordinarily
easy to use. However, because Auto-Tune Evo
does things that have never been done before,
some aspects of the user-interface may not be
immediately obvious. You should at least read
either Chapter 3, Auto-Tune Evo Controls, or
Chapter 4, Auto-Tune Evo Tutorial, to learn the
essential information you will need to operate
Auto-Tune Evo.
And as we mentioned above, if you are
upgrading from Auto-Tune 5, go straight to
Chapter 5, the New Feature Quick Start Guide,
to learn everything you need to know (about
Auto-Tune’s new features, anyway).

Installing Auto-Tune Evo
Any unique instructions for installing Auto-Tune
Evo for your specific host or plug-in format
are located in the Auto-Tune Evo Read Me file
that accompanies the plug-in. This file may
also contain any last-minute Auto-Tune Evo
information that didn’t make it into this manual.
Auto-Tune Evo is designed to work with a wide
variety of digital audio applications. Please refer
to your host application’s user manual for more
information on installing and using plug-ins.
Authorizing Auto-Tune Evo
Authorization is the process by which Auto-
Tune Evo is allowed to permanently run on your
computer. Detailed instructions covering the
available authorization options will be found
in the file “Authorization Read Me” which is
included on the installation DVD ROM or with
your software download.
NOTE: When initially installed, this
software will run for ten days without
authorization.
So even if you can‘t authorize it right away you
can still use your software in the meantime.
(During this period, click the “Continue”
button whenever you are presented with
the Trial Period screen at launch.) But don’t
procrastinate too long. After those ten days are
up you will no longer be able to launch Auto-
Tune Evo until it’s authorized.
