Chapter 1: Getting Started
Installing Auto-Tune EFX 2
Auto-Tune EFX 2 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. (Although in most cases, simply double-clicking the Auto-Tune EFX
2 installer and following the resulting directions will be all you need to do.)
Authorizing Auto-Tune EFX 2
Authorization is the process by which Auto-
Tune EFX 2 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 your installation DVD ROM or with
your software download.
Auto-Tune EFX 2 authorization
requires an iLok USB smart
key. If you already own other
audio plug-ins, you probably
already have one. If not, they
can be purchased from many
local music stores as well as most online music
technology retailers.
NOTE: You will need to authorize Auto-
Tune EFX 2 before you can run it in
your host. If you plan to follow along
with the manual (a good idea), go do it now.
