We are very pleased to announce that Antares are the latest brand to partner with Pro Tools Expert as they release the most recent version of Auto-Tune which features Antares’ new Flex-Tune technology, with what they describe as an “ultra low-latency mode for tracking and live performance in real time, and an even better workflow”. PTE: How are you responding to the criticism that AT takes the musicality out of vocals? Was this the reason for adding the Flex-Tune control? We also created a number of workflow enhancements to allow for greater customization and improve usability. Flex-Tune allows this expressivity to come through while still polishing notes as they near the scale notes.Īlso being able to track live is something singers have been asking about for years, and our team was able to create a very useful ultra low-latency solution. For certain musical genres (including country and blues) singing off key is integral to the genre. We get together in a brainstorming session and have a discussion over which new features to implement in the upcoming version.įor our new Flex-Tune feature, we were addressing the problem that all pitch correction software pulls every note towards a scale note – even if you don’t want it there. PTE: How did you decide what new features to introduce in AT8?Īndy: Whenever we start on a new plug-in version, we work off a new features list developed from customer feedback and ideas we have internally. PTE: How long have you been working on Auto-Tune 8?Īndy: We have been working on Auto-Tune 8 for the better part of a year.

Andy Hildebrand, who is the Founder/Chief Scientist of Antares and the creator of Auto-Tune, very kindly agreed to have a chat with us. With the recent release of Auto-Tune 8 we thought it would be interesting to get a sense of what happens when you develop a new plug-in like Auto-Tune 8 from Antares.
