For routine automatic pitch-correction of previously tracked vocals, you would, of course, simply insert the plug-in on your vocal track and get cracking with tweaking the control set to suit.

Once installed via the slick Waves Central licence management system, how you configure Tune Real-Time will depend upon your type of use. However, faster computer systems mean that, 10 years on, real-time pitch-correction with a plug-in is now a viable prospect. While Tune can carry out pitch-correction automatically as well as manually, like the Melodyne plug-in it requires your audio to be ‘tracked’ into the plug-in before this can take place. Indeed, SOS reviewed the original Waves Tune way back in the November 2006 issue. Waves are not new to the business of pitch-correction. And, as I’ll get to in a minute, the plug-in can also be used as a standard post-recording pitch-correction tool. Providing the rest of your system doesn’t create a processing bottleneck somewhere along the line, Tune Real-Time is designed to operate with sufficiently low latency to be fast enough for even the most demanding live-performance situation. Well, Antares obviously think so, because they have a version of Auto-Tune called Auto-Tune Live targeted at precisely this role, and Waves have now joined the roll-call with their own take on the genre: Tune Real-Time. It’s easy enough to see two sides to the desirability of such a tool in a live setting and I’ll leave you to have that discussion amongst yourselves but, in a world where the computer sits centre stage in so many music-making environments, the user control and flexibility offered by software-only solutions could have obvious benefits in a live context too. However, most are primarily intended for studio use, where they will be applied as post-recording processes.įor live performance there have, of course, been a number of dedicated hardware devices that offer pitch-correction in real time, including the now-discontinued Antares ATR-1 and various TC-Helicon products. Antares’ Auto-Tune first made it possible, and has become so well-known that its name is often used generically to describe all such tools, but there are plenty of other software-based pitch-correction tools out there. Love it or loathe it, automated pitch-correction is here to stay. No signup required.Is it really possible to carry out studio-quality pitch-correction in real time? Waves think so. You can always upgrade to the master’s edition at a later time, which has additional effects and features for the serious sound engineer. If you are using it at home, you can download the free music editing software here. WavePad free audio editing software does not expire and includes many of the features of the master’s version. This free audio editor is available for non-commercial use only.
