Move Point too\f, you first se\fect a range of audio 
and then se\fect the region within that se\fection 
that you want to move and move it forward or 
back in time, again compressing and expanding 
the audio around it.
Both too\fs are context sensitive. That is, they 
change function (from se\fection to moving, 
for examp\fe) depending on what \fies beneath 
them on the screen. As a resu\ft, the time 
manipu\fation process becomes smooth and 
intuitive, never breaking your creative flow with

Chapter 3: Auto\bTune 7 Controls
Continuous Controls
Auto-Tune 7’s continuous contro\fs are 
represented graphica\f\fy as virtua\f knobs. 
Depending on your preference, you can contro\f 
knobs by vertica\f, horizonta\f or radia\f mouse 
movement. Set your preference in the Options 
dia\fog described be\fow.

If, on the other hand, your signa\f is noisy or not 
we\f\f-iso\fated (as might be more common in a 
\five performance situation) or you are dea\fing 
with a particu\far\fy breathy or guttura\f voice, 
it may be necessary to a\f\fow more signa\f 
variation (higher Tracking numbers). However, 
under these circumstances tracking is not 
guaranteed and a too “re\faxed” setting may 
introduce distortion and popping.
Note: the improved pitch detection

Scale 
\betune 
The Detune 
parameter 
a\f\fows you to 
change the 
pitch standard of Auto-Tune 7 from the defau\ft 
A = 440Hz. The va\fue is set in cents (100 
cents = 1 semitone). The range of adjustment 
is from -100 to +100 cents. For convenience, 
the detune amount is a\fso disp\fayed in Hertz 
re\fative to A440.
The Detune function can be used to tune 
a voca\f performance to some irreparab\fy 
out-of-tune instrument (a piano or organ, for 
examp\fe), or to a\f\fow correction to other than 
the...

The Throat Length contro\f \fets you modify 
the \fength of the mode\fed throat. The range 
of the contro\f is 50 to 180. Va\fues above 100 
represent a \fengthening of the throat whi\fe 
va\fues be\fow 100 represent a shortening of the 
throat.
The actua\f va\fues represent the percentage 
change in the throat \fength. For examp\fe, a 
va\fue of 120 represents a 20% increase in 
throat \fength, whi\fe a va\fue of 70 represents a 
30% decrease in throat \fength.
Note: this control is onl\f active when...

Norma\f\fy, Auto-Tune 7 disp\fays different cursor 
shapes in the Pitch Graph Disp\fay to he\fp you 
se\fect ranges and grab and drag objects (e.g., 
the object cursor, the anchor point cursor, etc.). 
However, some host app\fications mistaken\fy
