The End Of Editing Modality
In previous versions of Auto-Tune, tracking
pitch, editing pitch objects and correcting pitch
operated in a modal manner — i.e., when
you were doing any one of those things, you
couldn’t do either of the others. With Auto-
Tune 5, you are now free to use any of the
graphical editing functions while either tracking
or correcting pitch.
You can, for example:
• Draw new pitch objects while you are either
tracking or correcting pitch.
• Edit existing pitch objects while correcting
pitch — even when the position indicator
is passing over the object you’re editing (in
which case the edit takes effect as soon as
you release your mouse button).
• Click either Make Curve or Import Auto
while tracking or correcting pitch. (If you do
this while tracking pitch, the resulting curves
with apply only to the audio that has already
been tracked at the instant you click the
respective button).
• Cut, copy or paste pitch objects while
tracking or correcting pitch.
Now, just because you can do something,
doesn’t necessarily mean you would want to
(or that it even makes sense to), but with this
new functionality, you will have a lot more
flexibility in developing whatever workflow
works best for you.
Import Auto
What was previously called the “Make Auto”
function has been renamed “Import Auto”.
The functionality remains the same.
Enhanced Envelope Display functionality
• When in “ALL” mode, the Envelope Display
automatically scales to precisely encompass
the tracked audio (rather than defaulting to
the entire length of the buffer).
• The behavior of the various editing tools
has been changed such that for every tool
except the I-Beam, moving the cursor onto
the Envelope Display causes the tool to
temporarily change into the Magnifying
Glass Tool (perfect for quickly moving to
another portion of your audio without having
to manually change tools).
• Using the I-Beam to make a selection on the
Envelope Display now automatically causes
the Pitch Graph Display to move to the
selected audio.
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
