AutoTune Advanced: A Game-Changer for Indie Artists

New AutoTune Advanced: Vibrato Preservation and More

Antares Audio Technologies has just launched AutoTune Advanced, a real-time vocal tuning plugin that aims to revolutionize pitch correction. The standout feature is the patent-pending DVA engine, which intelligently detects and preserves a singer's vibrato instead of correcting it. This is a significant leap forward, addressing a long-standing concern among vocalists about losing their natural expression in the pursuit of perfect pitch.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Creativity

Beyond vibrato preservation, AutoTune Advanced introduces a Live monitoring mode, ensuring ultra-low latency of under 1 ms across all sample rates. This makes it ideal for live performances and studio sessions alike. Additionally, the plugin offers a Vibrato FX section for adding or enhancing vibrato with various wave shapes, giving artists more creative control. Other features include an updated Formant Designer, custom scale workflows, and MIDI Perform, which allows mapping of MIDI controllers to the plugin's functions.

What this means for you

For independent musicians and small studios, AutoTune Advanced offers a powerful tool that balances technical precision with artistic expression. The preservation of vibrato means you can achieve professional-sounding vocals without sacrificing the nuances that make your voice unique. The low-latency mode is particularly beneficial for live streaming and recording sessions where timing is critical.

Moreover, the plugin's compatibility with popular DAWs and its inclusion in the AutoTune Unlimited subscription make it accessible for indie artists looking to elevate their sound without breaking the bank.
