I've owned Auto Tune 5 for about 10 months now but I had been using an earlier version for about a year and half before that. I love the interface of the software, both in graphical mode and in automatic it is easy to configure and to tune things up with. The sound is pretty smooth, along it really depends on the singer. If a vocal is relatively...
What I like about the plugin is its very easy to understand interface and the fact that it is a "stand alone" pitch plug. You still need it in a host but its nice to have this option as most pitch shifting is found on synths and vst synths. Now I can run it after my guitar, bass, keys, etcc.... I do this because my setup is designed so I loop...
Most of the time, if I'm going to do a harmony, I just play the thing myself twice. One track will be the root, and the other will be something like the harmonized 3rd. I'm able to replicate something similar with this, but I actually prefer using this for a really cool detune effect on leads. It can create a really cool alternative to chorus...
This has less features than the normal Tune version, so if you're dealing with a mix that's nearly perfect, this plugin will probably be better suited for that purpose. However, I find myself wanting the extra controls that Tune offers, so I tend to reach for that version more often than not. That's not to say this isn't powerful; it is. It's...
I should first start off by saying that I never once used this to try to get those crazy auto tuned vocals where it snaps to the grid. It just never really appealed to me, so I didn't bother testing to see if it would work. I am mostly a death metal musician, so I don't use this too often. However, when I'm messing around with 80s metal and r...
Aside from the major flaw of this only being fully compatible with Pro Tools, it's a pretty solid plugin. I used it on my friend's machine with Pro Tools successfully before, and I enjoyed it. For those of us who need to look for alternative plugins, try searching online. I found a handful of different VSTs I've used that can give me a simila...
I cant really say anything bad about auto-tune itself, its a great tool when used right. The price is good i guess and there are tons of other versions out there but in my preference and opinion this is the best/easiest. if you have no idea what your doing there's an auto mode, if you want certain notes doing certain things... get on over...
The Eventide H910 Plug-in is an awesome plug-in version of a classic hardware processor and will be an asset to any DAW. It's the kind of plug-in that can add a lot to your sound, regardless of it's being used on a guitar or vocal. Apparently Jimmy Page used the original in his live rig, so if that's not an endorsement of the effect, I don't k...
The Eventide Precision Time Align plug-in is really a great one to have around. Before I knew about this plug-in I can't tell you how many times I've had drums that are slightly out of phase but don't warrant a complete phase reversal. This helps with those finer adjustments, and I can't say that I've seen another plug-in that serves the same ...
Digidesign's DigiRack Pitch Shift plug-in is definitely a nice stock one to use when you need to do simple pitch shifting processing. I have a bunch of other plug-ins that I'll use for this now, but when I didn't have any Waves plug-ins I would use this as a quick and easy way to pitch shift - usually for vocals. It's not meant for tuning or a...
