If you aren’t satisfied with the results of
the Import Auto function, simply switch to
Automatic Mode, modify any of the settings as
desired, and then return to Graphical Mode and
click Import Auto again.
NOTE: In addition to its use as a
Graphical Mode correction tool,
the Import Auto function can also be used to
provide an informative visual representation
of the results of Automatic Mode settings.
If there are times when you’d prefer to use
Automatic Mode, but can’t quite zero in on the
ideal settings, examining the results of various
settings with the Import Auto function can give
you a visual picture of exactly what’s going on.
This will often make it readily apparent which
Automatic Mode settings need to be changed
to give your desired results.
STILL ANOTHER NOTE: One potentially
confusing aspect of the Import Auto
function is the relationship between
the Automatic Mode Retune Speed setting and
the Graphical Mode Retune Speed setting. To
summarize:
The Automatic Mode Retune Speed controls
how the input audio would be processed in
Automatic Mode. Changing this setting will
change the shape of the blue curve that will be
created by the Import Auto function.
The Graphical Mode Retune Speed controls
how quickly the pitch of the input audio will be
changed to that of the blue target pitch curve.
As mentioned above, to precisely duplicate the
results of Automatic Mode, set the Graphical
Mode Retune Speed to 0.
Make Notes
The Make Notes function provides an entirely
new range of ways to use Auto-Tune Evo.
For pitch correction, it combines the ease of
Automatic Mode with the control of Graphical
Mode to allow you to get optimum results with
a minimum of tedious tweaking.
Combined with Auto-Tune Evo’s formant
correction and throat modeling capabilities, it
provides an easy, intuitive method of modifying
the pitch of individual notes or phrases.
And when programming Cher or T-Pain style
vocal effects, it gives you absolute control over
exactly which notes will be quantized to.
Here’s how it works:
The Make Notes button is enabled whenever
there is any red input pitch contour data present
in the Pitch Graph (whether it is displayed in
the current Pitch Graph view or not). Pressing
the Make Notes button causes Auto-Tune Evo
to analyze the input pitch and create Target
Note objects (Notes for short), each of which is
centered on a horizontal Pitch Graph line. These
Notes represent the pitches that Auto-Tune Evo
sees as the performer’s target notes.
NOTE: If a range of time has been
selected by using the I-Beam
Tool (see below), the Make Notes
button works only in the selected time range.
Otherwise it works on all red pitch data.
Notes also display the audio’s envelope contour
over the Note’s duration and a green output
pitch curve based on the currently selected
Retune Speed.
NOTE: The Retune Speed behavior
for Notes is a bit different from that
of the other correction objects. Unlike
the other correction objects, Notes do not
provide a blue correction curve. The implied
correction curve is the horizontal Pitch Graph
line upon which the Note is centered (unless
the Note has been moved off of that line - see
the Snap To Note function for details). Setting
the Retune Speed to “0” will cause the output
to be locked to that note, suppressing any of
the original performance’s expressive gestures.
