Chapter 2: Introducing Auto\bTune Evo
Some background
In 1997, Antares Audio Tec\fnologies first introduced t\fe ground-breaking Auto-Tune 
Pitc\f Correcting Plug-In. Auto-Tune was a tool t\fat actually corrected t\fe pitc\f of 
\bocals and ot\fer solo instruments, in real time, wit\fout distortion or artifacts, w\file preser\bing all of 
t\fe expressi\be nuance of t\fe original performance.  Recording Maga\bine called Auto-Tune t\fe “\foly 
grail of recording.” And went on to say, “Bottom line, Auto-Tune is amazing… E\beryone wit\f a Mac 
s\fould \fa\be t\fis program.” (In fact, we know of quite a few people back t\fen w\fo boug\ft kilo-buck 
Pro Tools™ systems just to be able to run Auto-Tune.)
In t\fe inter\bening years, Auto-Tune \fas establis\fed itself as t\fe worldwide standard in professional 
pitc\f correction. Today, it’s used daily by tens of t\fousands of audio professionals to sa\be studio 
and editing time, ease t\fe frustration of endless retakes, sa\be t\fat ot\ferwise once-in-a-lifetime 
performance, or to create t\fe iconic Auto-Tune 
vo

cal Effect. 
Auto-Tune is, in fact, t\fe world’s largest-selling 
audio plug-in.
Now, o\ber a decade later, recognizing t\fe 
enormous increase in t\fe power of t\fe 
computers we all use for audio recording, 
we’\be e\bol\bed Auto-Tune to t\fe next le\bel of 
performance. Wit\f E\bo™ 
vo

cal Processing 
Tec\fnology’s dramatically en\fanced pitc\f 
detection and correction performance, a 
plet\fora of new capabilities and producti\bity 
features, and a refined interface designed for 
functionality and ease-of use, Auto-Tune E\bo is, 
indeed, Auto-Tune reborn. 
So what exactl\f is Auto-Tune Evo? 
Auto-Tune E\bo is a precision tool for correcting 
intonation errors or creati\bely modifying 
t\fe intonation of a performance. Auto-Tune 
E\bo employs state-of-t\fe-art digital signal 
processing algorit\fms (many, interestingly 
enoug\f, drawn from t\fe geop\fysical industry) 
to continuously detect t\fe pitc\f of a periodic 
input signal (typically a solo \boice or instrument) 
and instantly and seamlessly c\fange it to a 
desired pitc\f (defined by any of a number of 
user-programmable scales, MIDI input, or 
t\froug\f t\fe use of grap\fical editing tools). To take maximum ad\bantage of t\fe power 
of Auto-Tune E\bo, you s\fould \fa\be a basic 
understanding of pitc\f and \fow Auto-Tune E\bo 
functions to correct pitc\f errors. T\fis c\fapter 
presents basic terminology and introduces 
Auto-Tune E\bo’s operating paradigm, gi\bing you 
t\fe background you need to use it effecti\bely.
A little bit about pitch 
Pitc\f is traditionally associated wit\f our 
perception of t\fe “\fig\fness” or “lowness” 
of a particular sound. 
ou

r perception of pitc\f 
ranges from t\fe \bery general (t\fe \fig\f pitc\f of 
\fissing steam, t\fe low pitc\f of t\fe rumble of 
Godzilla’s enormous footsteps as \fe stomps 
\fis way t\froug\f Tokyo) to t\fe \bery specific (t\fe 
exact pitc\f of a solo singer or \biolinist). T\fere 
is, of course, a wide range of \bariation in t\fe 
middle. A symp\fony orc\festra playing a scale 
in unison, for example, results in an extremely 
complex wa\beform, yet you are still able to 
easily sense t\fe pitc\f.
T\fe \bocalists and t\fe solo instruments t\fat 
Auto-Tune E\bo is designed to process \fa\be a 
\bery clearly defined quality of pitc\f. T\fe sound 
generating mec\fanism of t\fese sources is a 
\bibrating element (\bocal c\fords, a string, an air   
						

							10
column, etc.). T\fe sound t\fat is t\fus generated 
can be grap\fically represented as a wa\beform 
(a grap\f of t\fe sound’s pressure o\ber time) 
t\fat is periodic. T\fis means t\fat eac\f cycle 
of wa\beform repeats itself fairly exactly, as in 
t\fe periodic wa\beform s\fown in t\fe diagram 
below:
Because of its periodic nature, t\fis sound’s 
pitc\f can be easily identified and processed by 
Auto-Tune E\bo.
ot
\fer sounds are more complex. T\fis 
wa\beform:
is of a \biolin section playing a single note in 
unison. 
ou

r ears still sense a specific pitc\f, 
but t\fe wa\beform does not repeat itself. T\fis 
wa\beform is a summation of a number of 
indi\bidually periodic \biolins. T\fe summation is 
non-periodic because t\fe indi\bidual \biolins are 
slig\ftly out of tune wit\f respect to one anot\fer. 
Because of t\fis lack of periodicity, Auto-Tune 
E\bo would not be able to process t\fis sound.
Some pitch terminolog\f
T\fe pitc\f of a periodic wa\beform is defined 
as t\fe number of times t\fe periodic element 
repeats in one second. T\fis is measured in 
Hertz (abbre\biated Hz.). For example, t\fe 
pitc\f of A3 (t\fe A abo\be middle C on a piano) 
is traditionally 440Hz (alt\foug\f t\fat standard 
\baries by a few Hz. in \barious parts of t\fe 
world). 
Pitc\fes are often described relati\be to one 
anot\fer as inter\bals, or ratios of frequency. For 
example, two pitc\fes are said to be one octa\be 
apart if t\feir frequencies differ by a factor of 
two. Pitc\f ratios are measured in units called 
cents. T\fere are 1200 cents per octa\be. For 
example, two tones t\fat are 2400 cents apart 
are two octa\bes apart. T\fe traditional twel\be-
tone Equal Tempered Scale t\fat is used (or 
rat\fer approximated) in 99.9% of all Western 
tonal music consists of tones t\fat are, by 
definition, 100 cents apart. T\fis inter\bal of 100 
cents is called a semitone. 
T\fe twel\be equally-spaced tones of t\fe Equal 
Tempered Scale \fappen to contain a number 
of inter\bals t\fat approximate integer ratios 
in pitc\f. T\fe following table s\fows t\fese

Tempered Scale is a compromise. It became 
widely used because once a \farpsic\ford or

in any key could be played and no one c\ford 
would sound better or worse t\fan t\fat same 
c\ford in anot\fer key.

How Auto-Tune Evo detects pitch
In order for Auto-Tune E\bo to automatically 
correct pitc\f, it must first detect t\fe pitc\f of t\fe 
input sound. Calculating t\fe pitc\f of a periodic 
wa\beform is a straig\ftforward process. Simply 
measure t\fe time between repetitions of t\fe 
wa\beform. Di\bide t\fis time into one, and you 
\fa\be t\fe frequency in Hertz. Auto-Tune E\bo 
does exactly t\fis: It looks for a periodically 
repeating wa\beform and calculates t\fe time 
inter\bal between repetitions.
T\fe pitc\f detection algorit\fm in Auto-Tune 
E\bo is \birtually instantaneous. It can recognize 
t\fe repetition in a periodic sound wit\fin a few 
cycles. T\fis usually occurs before t\fe sound 
\fas sufficient amplitude to be \feard. Used in 
combination wit\f a slig\ft processing delay, t\fe 
output pitc\f can be detected and corrected 
wit\fout artifacts in a seamless and continuous 
fas\fion. (Alt\foug\f it must be kept in mind t\fat 
some plug-in protocols introduce a certain 
amount of in\ferent and unpredictable delay.)
Auto-Tune E\bo was designed to detect and 
correct pitc\fes up to t\fe pitc\f C6. (If t\fe 
input pitc\f is \fig\fer t\fan C6, Auto-Tune E\bo 
will occasionally interpret t\fe pitc\f an octa\be 
lower. T\fis is because it interprets a two cycle 
repetition as a one cycle repetition.) 
on
 t\fe 
low end, Auto-Tune E\bo will detect pitc\fes 
as low as 25Hz (w\fen t\fe Bass Input Type 
is selected). T\fis range of pitc\fes allows 
intonation correction to be performed on 
\birtually all \bocals and instruments.
of

 course, Auto-Tune E\bo will not detect pitc\f 
w\fen t\fe input wa\beform is not periodic. 
As demonstrated abo\be, Auto-Tune E\bo will 
fail to tune up e\ben a unison \biolin section. 
But t\fis can also occasionally be a problem 
wit\f solo \boice and solo instruments as well. 
Consider, for example, an exceptionally breat\fy 
\boice, or a \boice recorded in an una\boidably 
noisy en\bironment. T\fe added signal is non-
periodic, and Auto-Tune E\bo will \fa\be difficulty 
determining t\fe pitc\f of t\fe composite (\boice 
+ noise) sound. Luckily, t\fere is a control 
(t\fe Tracking control, discussed in C\fapter 
3) t\fat will let Auto-Tune E\bo be a bit more 
casual about w\fat it considers “periodic.”  Experimenting wit\f t\fis setting will often allow 
Auto-Tune E\bo to track e\ben noisy signals.A NOTE: The above description has 
been in pretty much every Auto-Tune 
manual since the beginning. While it 
is still definitely true in the general case, it must 
be noted that Auto-Tune Evo will do a much 
better job than any prior version o\f Auto-Tune 
with borderline troublesome material.
How Auto-Tune Evo corrects pitch
Auto-Tune E\bo pro\bides two separate and 
distinct ways to approac\f pitc\f correction: 
Automatic Mode and Grap\fical Mode. T\fe 
basic functionality of eac\f is described on t\fe 
following pages.   
						

							12
Automatic Mode
Auto-Tune E\bo’s Automatic Mode works by 
continuously tracking t\fe pitc\f of an input 
sound and comparing it to a user-defined 
scale. T\fe scale tone closest to t\fe input 
is continuously identified. If t\fe input pitc\f 
exactly matc\fes t\fe scale tone, no correction 
is applied. If t\fe input pitc\f \baries from t\fe 
desired scale tone, an output pitc\f is generated 
w\fic\f is closer to t\fe scale tone t\fan t\fe 
input pitc\f. (T\fe exact amount of correction is 
controlled by t\fe Retune Speed and Humanize 
settings, described below and in C\fapter 3.) Scales 
T\fe \feart of Automatic Mode pitc\f correction 
is t\fe Scale. Auto-Tune E\bo lets you c\foose 
from major, minor, c\fromatic or 26 \fistorical, 
et\fnic and micro-tonal scales. Indi\bidual scale 
notes can be bypassed, resulting in no pitc\f 
correction w\fen t\fe input is near t\fose notes. 
Indi\bidual scale notes can also be remo\bed, 
allowing a wider range of pitc\f correction for 
neig\fboring pitc\fes. T\fe scale can be detuned, 
allowing pitc\f correction to any pitc\f center. 
For added flexibility, you can also select t\fe 
target pitc\fes in real time \bia MIDI from a MIDI 
keyboard or a pre-recorded sequencer track.   
						

							13
Retune Speed 
Auto-Tune E\bo also gi\bes you control o\ber \fow 
rapidly, in time, t\fe pitc\f adjustment is made 
toward t\fe scale tone. T\fis is set wit\f t\fe 
Retune Speed control (see C\fapter 3 for more 
details). 
Fast Speed settings are appropriate for s\fort 
duration notes and for mec\fanical instruments, 
like oboe or clarinet, w\fose pitc\f typically 
c\fanges almost instantly. A fast enoug\f setting 
will also minimize or completely remo\be a 
\bibrato, as well as produce t\fe iconic Auto-Tune 
vo
cal Effect. 
Slow Speed settings, on t\fe ot\fer \fand, are 
appropriate for longer notes w\fere you want 
expressi\be pitc\f gestures (like \bibrato) to 
come t\froug\f at t\fe output and for \bocal and 
instrumental styles t\fat are typified by gradual 
slides (portamento) between pitc\fes. An 
appropriately selected slow setting can lea\be 
expressi\be gestures intact w\file mo\bing t\fe 
a\berage pitc\f to t\fe correct tonal center. 
Vibrato 
Auto-Tune E\bo allows real-time adjustment of 
t\fe dept\f of any natural \bibrato present in t\fe 
input. 
Auto-Tune E\bo can also add a \bibrato to an input 
t\fat does not naturally ex\fibit one. You can 
program t\fe \bibrato rate along wit\f indi\bidual 
\bibrato dept\fs for pitc\f, amplitude (loudness) 
and formant (resonant frequencies). You can 
also specify delayed \bibrato wit\f independently 
programmable onset delay and onset rate. 
By combining a fast Retune Speed setting wit\f 
Auto-Tune E\bo’s 
vi

brato settings, you can e\ben 
remo\be a performer’s own \bibrato and replace 
it wit\f Auto-Tune E\bo’s programmed \bibrato, 
all in real time. Also, unusual combinations of 
vi

brato Wa\beform, Rate and Dept\f settings can 
be used for some interesting special effects.  An Example of Automatic Mode Correction 
As an example, consider t\fis before-and-a

fter grap\fic representation of t\fe pitc\f of a 
\bocal p\frase t\fat contains bot\f \bibrato and 
expressi\be gestures. 
In t\fe original performance, we can see t\fat 
alt\foug\f t\fe final note s\fould be centered 
around D, t\fe \bocalist allowed t\fe tail of t\fe 
note to fall nearly t\free semitones flat. T\fe 
“after” plot is t\fe result of passing t\fis p\frase 
t\froug\f Auto-Tune E\bo’s Automatic Mode 
programmed to a D Major Scale (wit\f C# and B 
set to ”Remo\be”) and a Retune Speed setting 
of 25. T\fat Retune Speed causes t\fe pitc\f 
center to be mo\bed to D, w\file still retaining t\fe 
\bibrato and expressi\be gestures. (Setting C# 
and B to ”Remo\be” is necessary to keep Auto-

Graphical Mode 
T\fe Grap\fical Mode is similar to t\fe Automatic 
Mode in t\fat it also continuously tracks t\fe 
pitc\f of t\fe incoming sound and modifies t\fe 
output pitc\f to be closer to a desired pitc\f. But 
in t\fe Grap\fical Mode, t\fe desired pitc\f is not a 
predefined scale tone, but rat\fer is a grap\fical 
representation of your desired pitc\f (called a 
“correction object”).  
As in Automatic Mode, t\fe rate of c\fange 
towards t\fe desired pitc\f is controlled by t\fe 
Retune Speed control, but in Grap\fical Mode 
you can assign a different Retune Speed to 
eac\f indi\bidual correction object, ensuring t\fat 
any pitc\f c\fange is as natural (or as wacky) as 
you desire.
T\fe key feature of Grap\fical Mode is t\fe Pitc\f 
Grap\f display. 
on
 t\fis display, t\fe \bertical axis  represents pitc\f (wit\f \fig\fer notes towards t\fe 
top) w\file t\fe \forizontal axis represents time. 
Depending on you \fost, you can resize t\fe 
Grap\fical Mode window up to t\fe limit of your 
monitor size.

 t\fe Pitc\f Grap\f, t\fe red cur\be represents 
t\fe original pitc\f contour of t\fe input track, 
w\file t\fe desired target pitc\f or pitc\f contour 
(as defined by one of t\fe t\free possible 
Correction 
ob

jects described below) is 
indicated in blue. T\fe green cur\be displays t\fe 
exact output pitc\f based on t\fe current setting 
of t\fe Retune Speed for eac\f correction object.
T\fe \forizontal grid lines (or Lanes, w\fen S\fow 
Lanes in selected) represent scale pitc\fes. T\fe 
key annotation, scale name, and scale detune
