How to do it
Auto-Tune EFX 2 has been designed to make
almost everything automatic. Simply follow the
steps below:
Pitch Correction or Auto-Tune
Vocal Effect
1. Select an effect type
Auto-Tune EFX 2 provides two alternative
versions of the Auto-Tune Vocal Effect as
well as real-time pitch correction.
Hard EFX: This is the classic Auto-Tune
Vocal Effect. Sung notes will be restricted
to the exact scale pitches and transitions
between notes will be instantaneous.
Soft EFX: This version of the Auto-Tune
Vocal Effect allows slight pitch variations and
slightly less instant note transitions.
Pitch Correct: This setting provides high-
quality, real-time pitch correction of your
vocal, while preserving all of the expressive
nuance of the original performance.
To select an effect, either click and hold on
the Effect Type switch and move it to the
desired setting or simply click on the desired
setting to move the switch to that position.
Your choice.
2. Set Tracking
In most cases,
simply leaving the
Tracking switch at
its default setting
of “Normal” will
ensure accurate
pitch detection and tracking. In the rare
event that you encounter a problem (e.g.,
a vocal playing back at the wrong octave),
moving the switch to “Choosy” should
make everything right.
3. Select Vocal Type
In order to do its magic, Auto-Tune EFX 2
needs to figure out exactly what pitches
are being sung. It will do its best job of
pitch detection if it knows the general
range of the vocal part. You can help it out
by clicking on the Vocal Type popup menu
and selecting your track’s vocal type. The
choices are:
•
Soprano Voice
•
Alto/Tenor Voice
•
Baritone/Bass Voice
•
Instrument (anything that isn’t actually
a voice)
4. Select Key and Scale
Use the Key and
Scale popup menus
to set the Key and
Scale of your track.
The appropriate Note buttons will light blue
to indicate that they are in the scale and that
the input vocal can be corrected or forced to
those notes.
