Use the settings I mentioned above, and you should have a good effect. Set Autotune up as an Insert, or use it offline, your choice. What you have done is set up the vocal so that Auto Tune will correct the vocal at just the right amount to get the effect. Now you will export this vocal and take it to Auto Tune. Dont go more than 50 cents, or else when you run the vocal through AutoTune, it will raise everything a semitone(or more depending on your scale)Īgain raise the vocal 40 cents, after it has been corrected inside Melodyne to a Major scale.(or Minor scale, your choice.) Now select all of your vocal notes, after setting the note snap option at the bottom left to "No Pitch Snap"(So the vocal notes dont snap to Major or Chromatic notes), and raise all the vocal notes up about "40 cents". Then here is the most coolest important part. I correct the pitch to a scale of C Major. I first take my recorded vocal and run it through Melodyne. And you must be somewhat familiar with Melodyne to understand this. Then use the Auto Tune effect, it will be much smoother.įor this effect, Autotune doesnt like natural Vibrato in a voice.
Use these programs to correct the pitch first, with the scale set to a Major scale, Like C Major. Use another pitch correction program like So here is a cool trick I have found that works.Īfter getting a good recording of a vocal peice. I usually max out the Formant and Amplitude settings.Īuto Tune needs to be correcting the pitch to get good effect right? All other vibrato settings except for those listed here are set to "0"(example- "rate") The Vibrato section is real important for the effect. Retune is usually always at 0, but the Tracking can be tweaked for different effects. Voice input type: Alto/Tenor, or your choice. Pitch knob can be tweaked for more effect.
In Automatic Detection Mode(not graphical) I have found that first, you will usually want to put AutoTune in a Major scale, such as C Major, depending on your key. The DX version adds Vibrato, which you dont want. It has to do with the fact that the VST version ALLOWS you to set the Vibrato section of auto correction mode to Sawtooth and the other settings I mentioned(Formant to 100 and Amplitude to 30, all other Vibrato settings at "0"), without adding more Vibrato. You must use the AutoTune VST version, Not the DX version This effect sounds very good on background vocal runs. Hello everyone, So I recently had some time to mess with Autotune to get that T-Pain effect, not to mention all the other people that use it.įirst know this, you must understand some music theory to get the best effect, other wise use the settings I mention and hope for the best.įor advanced users, the better vocalist you are, the better the effect, usually vocall ranges above Middle C sound good.
