Tracking control back where it belongs
Back in Auto-Tune 5, we consolidated the Auto
Mode and Graphical Mode Tracking controls
and moved the resulting control to the Options
dialog. This turned out to be a none-too-popular
move. It’s now back in the common control
area where it’s instantly accessible in either
mode. (And speaking of the Tracking control,
the new Evo Processing technology allows the
Tracking control to more easily correct (the now
rare)octave pitch-tracking errors.)
Options Dialog
The following additions have been made to the
Option dialog:
DISPLAY VERTICAL LINE AT CURSOR TIME
POSITION
Click the check box to cause
a vertical line to be displayed at the cursor
position in Graphical Mode. This is most useful
when you are comparing the various pitch
values (tracked pitch, correction object pitch,
and output pitch) at one or more time locations
in your track.
A TIP: Since the line indicator can be
somewhat annoying during normal
editing tasks, you can, if you prefer,
uncheck this box in the Options dialog and
then assign Toggle Time Indicator to one of
the number keys as described below. That
way, you can turn it on only when you need
it, without having to call up the Options dialog
every time.
DEFAULT RETUNE SPEEDS Recognizing that
you will likely use different pitch correction
objects for different tasks (e.g., traditional pitch
correction, pitch shifting, T-Pain-style effects,
etc.), you can streamline your workflow by
setting your own custom default Retune Speed
settings for each type of object (i.e., Curves,
Lines, and Notes). See the Graphical Mode
section below for details.
KEY BINDINGS Auto-Tune Evo’s new Key
Binding system lets you assigned virtually any
Graphical Mode function to each of the
QWERTY
number keys (i.e., the number keys across the
top of your keyboard). So no matter what your
personal editing workflow, you can ensure that
your most-used functions are always only a key
press away. See the Graphical Mode section
below for details.
WINDOW SIZE (VST and Audio Units versions
only) Since some hosts and/or plug-in formats
do not support real-time plug-in window resizing
(i.e., dragging on the corner of the window), the
Window Size controls allow you to select among
three preset sizes or specify a custom size of
your choice.
The preset sizes (measured in pixels) are:
Normal: 850 wide by 600 high
Wide: 1600 wide by 600 high
Large: 1600 wide by 1100 high
Clicking any of the Preset buttons will enter
those dimensions in the Width and Height data
entry fields. To enter a custom size, simply click
in the desired field and enter the value of your
choice.
The new size will take affect when you click the
Save button.
NOTE: Some hosts do not support
immediate resizing of an open plug-in
window. If yours in one of those, after
clicking Save, you will have to close the Auto-
Tune Evo window and reopen it to have the size
change take affect.
ANOTHER NOTE: Since real-time
resizing is supported in all current
versions of Pro Tools LE and HD,
neither the RTAS nor TDM versions of Auto-Tune
Evo include (or need) the Window Size controls.
SAVE AS DEFAULT When the “Save as
default” box is checked, any changes you make
to the various Options settings are saved as
defaults for all future instances of Auto-Tune Evo.
If you want to make a temporary change to an
Option setting for a particular track, but want to
retain the previous default for future instances,
uncheck the “Save as default” box before
clicking the Save button. Your modified value
