Adjusting your settings can help it to do a better job of tuning, but nothing replaces your own ears on what needs to be tuned, and what does not. It then determines what to do to the audio, as it passes through. Auto Mode basically runs in real-time, and analyzes the audio as it passes through. There’s Auto Mode, also know as “lazy mode”, and Graphical Mode, also known as “Auto-Tune”. There are two correction modes and ways to use Auto-Tune.

I could probably write an entire book on tuning vocals, but the intent here is to give you an inside look at the most commonly used parameters and how to use Auto-Tune in a more effective way…. A common saying in the industry comes to mind - “You can’t polish a turd”. Now I must say though, there is a limit to how much tuning or editing you CAN do to a less than perfect performance.

If something doesn’t sound right, keep tweaking until it does. I may take some heat for saying so, but this doesn’t have to be the case if you learn how to use your tools properly pay attention to what the settings do. There are many people out there wanting to lay blame on the tools for their work sounding robotic, or unnatural. In the past 20 years, I’ve never had a single negative comment, or even anyone notice that I’ve used a tuning software, which is exactly as it should be. There are many other tuning softwares available, but none have the proven to me better. From my own personal experience, it’s still my go-to tuning software, as it can keep up with my own workflow, and does exactly what I need it to do. In the 22 years since it’s inception (1997), Auto-Tune has been the industry standard for tuning vocals, and for good reason. This tutorial shows you the power within this amazing audio processor. Auto-Tune is one of the most widely used plug-ins in music production.
