My Studio. The only way to run the autotune plugin on a computer at a gig is to use a pro tools hd rig. Not true at all. You definitely don't need an expensive pro tools rig for something like this. Just a well maintained PC and a soundcard with a solid driver. Well of course you could, but i hold a high quality standard for my shows and this would not include running vocals through a cpu.
Expecially not lead vox I care about latency, if you don't then cool. Also, i have heard reports of people running autotune on the venue consoles, which is of course technically fine.
Please lets not get into an arguement over the morality of Autotune So is it possible to get a nice subtle pitch correction for a live performance? I had two different ones I used to use. Also had a stompbox that just did hard tune, i could switch presets from the stage. It worked good as well. Much better than a computer in a live situation unless your whole show is playing to tracks Sent from my Nexus One using Gearslutz.
In the studio, autotune is usually added after the vocal track has been recorded. Instead, live autotune will usually just be programmed to remain within a certain key. This allows the singer to add improvised sections without the autotune getting caught off-guard, giving more focus to things such as their stage presence.
This gives the autotune the best possible chance of correcting to the right note. The autotune is usually switched off in-between songs, allowing the vocalist to speak to the crowd naturally. If autotune has such a bad reputation, why would a musician use it in a live setting? When autotune is calibrated to tune notes very quickly, a characteristic electronic tone emerges from the morphed voice. This technique is commonly used throughout electronic music Daft Punk being one notable example of tastefully-autotuned vocals.
Live autotune can be a really fantastic effect for this genre; it really gives a sense of roboticized authorship behind the sound. Although some singers are rather obvious with their use of autotune, others use it to discretely tighten up their pitch. Live performances are difficult, especially when a singer is in the middle of a tour and likely tired. A gentle smidge of autotune to make these singers pitch perfect is not much different to having a teleprompter for lyrics or a click track playing in their in-ear monitors.
Very light autotuning can adjust each vocal line to make harmonies much smoother, allowing for a much more convincing performance. Perhaps unsurprisingly, live autotune comes with a set of drawbacks:. First, this technology is designed to make pitch adjustments by quantizing the vocal performance to its closest semitones. On the other hand, you can set the plug-in or pedal to its extreme setting to produce a distinctive computer voice sound like those produced by T-Pain.
Both modes of operations are feasible. In both operation modes, however, the sound produced usually underwent processing to a certain degree. It may also entail echo or reverb applications to vocals for additional depth and make it sound bulky and bigger. Moreover, it may also entail substantial sound modification of pitch. This modification happens in realtime, which the audience will not notice. Auto-Tune Technology was first introduced to measure and alter pitch during vocal and instrumental recording.
The original intention was to correct or disguise off-key inaccuracies, letting its users fine-tune vocal tracks even if they was previously off-pitch.
Soon after its introduction, producers started using the Auto-Tune as a part of the effects for distorting vocals. In fact, when I was recording the vocal track in , I remember that the sound engineer made use of the Autotune to at least blur the inaccuracies in my pitch by distorting the notes of my vocals.
However, the present-day Auto-Tune technology is more advanced than what the sound engineer in did use. At present, it is already revolutionizing popular music and recording. This technology comes as a plug-in for DAWS used in the studio and a standalone that is a rack-mounted unit for processing vocals during live performance. The processor alters the pitch slightly to the closest correct semitone. You can also use Autotune as an additional effect for distorting the human voice.
At present, the Auto-Tune has quickly become standard equipment in most professional recording studios. For example, the Peavey AT guitar makes use of Autotune technology for correcting pitch in realtime. Auto-Tune is one of the effects that you can use to enhance recordings and live performance. It can make bad singers sound better, though it will never make a bad singer a better singer.
Singing is not only a matter of hitting the right pitch. It also entails a good voice with all its slopes, swoops, and vibrato that works around the voice pitch. Nevertheless, Auto-Tune can increase your confidence and create emotion. Yet, if you are indeed a good singer, you will not need such technology.
