Tutorial 5: Transpose and Formant Control
This tutorial will demonstrate Auto-Tune Evo’s
pitch shifting, formant correction and throat
modeling capabilities. It will make use of the
same audio file used in the previous tutorial.
Begin the tutorial by doing the following:
1. Load or import the audio file “somewhere”
into a track of your host program.
2. Set up Auto-Tune Evo to be an insert effect
on that track. (If you are using a Pro Tools
HD system, use the RTAS version of the
plug-in.)
3. Set the Key to “G” and the scale to
“Major.” Set the Retune Speed knob to 27.
4. Play the audio file. Note that these settings
do a pretty good job of correcting the most
obvious problems in the performance.
5. Set the Transpose control to 6 (a perfect
fifth up). Check to be sure that Formant is
off.
6. Play the audio file and listen to the quality
of the voice. Since the formants are being
shifted with the pitch, you will hear the
familiar “chipmunk” effect.
7. Click the Format button to turn on formant
correction. Set the Throat Length to 120.
8. Play the audio file again and note the
difference.
9. Play the audio file again while adjusting the
Throat Length control to hear the effect of
changing the modeled vocal tract.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 with different
settings of the Transpose control.
