You can instantiate this plugin in a single place, and it will instantly analyze the song, let you know what key it thinks it should use, and push the updated key information out to all of the instances of Auto-Tune in your project. This is a godsend for those of us tracking large amounts of background vocals, double tracked lead vocals, and more. A single utility plugin separated from the main plugin, Auto-Key can communicate with all instances of Auto-Tune in your project at once.

Auto-KeyĪuto-Key was an interesting addition to the lineup. If you’re looking for graphical control or more precise control over the algorithm, you’re going to want to invest in EFX or Pro. If you’re looking to purchase a version of Auto-Tune to just ‘tighten things up a bit’, this is really all you need. The interface feels very snappy, and truth be told, you can probably take care of about 75% of the intonation problems you’ll encounter with this plugin. One of the benefits of this ‘stripping down’ of the plugin is its extremely low CPU overhead and its responsiveness. This simplified interface lets you dial in subtle or extreme pitch correction within seconds.Īs for the controls, that’s all you’ve got to deal with. The knobs are three position knobs and not continuous, so you’ve basically got slow/medium/fast for the speed control and off/min/max for humanization. The user can adjust retune speed as well as the amount of ‘humanization’ allowed in the track. Access includes pitch correction with a selection of key and activation/deactivation of notes at the bottom of the window.

Auto-Tune Access is a simple and budget-friendly way to get into the Auto-Tune environment.
