Retune Speed
The Retune Speed setting is used only during
the pitch correction process. It’s similar in
function but separate from the Retune Speed
control in Automatic Mode.
In Graphical Mode, the target pitch is not the
scale tone nearest to the input, but rather the
blue target pitch curve. The Retune Speed
control allows you to specify how quickly Auto-
Tune 5 will change the pitch of the input to that
of the target pitch curve. A value of zero will
cause the output pitch to precisely track the
target pitch curve. Depending on the target
pitch curve, this may or may not provide the
desired results. Slower values will have the
effect of “smoothing out” the target pitch
curve. As ever, you should let your ears be
your guide to selecting the proper value for a
particular performance.
The default Retune Speed is 20. Command
(Mac)/Control (PC) clicking the slider will reset
it to that value.
NOTE:
Slower Retune Speed
values may also allow you to use
simple horizontal line segments to
define the target pitches while still preserving
the natural pitch gestures of the original
performance. See Chapter 4 for details.
Adjust Vibrato
The purpose of this function is to let you
quickly and easily change (either increasing
or decreasing) the amount of an existing
vibrato, while preserving the original shape and
character of the vibrato.
To use this function, select the I-Beam tool and
highlight the range of audio you’d like to edit.
Set the desired amount of change using the
Adjust Vibrato slider. A blue correction curve
will be created that reflects your setting.
If a correction curve already exists in the
selected range (as a result of Make Curve,
Import Auto or the use of the Line or Curve
tool), that curve will be replaced by the Adjust
Vibrato curve. Consequently, if you need to
both modify the vibrato and correct the pitch
of a phrase, you should first adjust the vibrato
and then manipulate the resulting blue curve
to correct the pitch. (If you do it in the opposite
order, your vibrato adjustment will wipe out
your previously executed pitch correction,
often resulting in exclamations of a possibly
profane nature.)
The default Adjust Vibrato setting is 0.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) clicking the
slider will reset it to that value.
NOTE:
This function is only available
when some tracked audio has been
selected with the I-Beam tool. If
no audio is selected, the slider handle will
not appear. Once some audio is selected, the
handle will appear.
ANOTHER NOTE:
This function uses
the same Stochastic Optimal Linear
Estimation Theory as the Auto
Mode’s Targeting Ignores Vibrato function
to attempt to differentiate between vibrato
and intended pitch changes. Therefore, you
can typically select a portion of your audio
containing both vibrato and intended pitch
change and the Adjust Vibrato function will
scale the vibrato while leaving the intended
pitch changes alone. But again, depending
on the actual performance, sometimes this
will work better than others. If Adjust Vibrato
seems to be making changes to parts of the
audio you’d like to leave alone, simply Undo
the adjustment and use the I-Beam to select
only the vibrato portions you wish to edit.
