hey, was wondering what are the normal settings you use for vocals( major or minor ) without adding that cher effect?? or anytips are welcome,

thankyou
 
ideally you'll want a good vocalist. if not, you should adjust the pitch manually - don't even bother with the automatic tuning unless the singer is so close that it's only very slightly off pitch.
 
That pretty much sums it up. If the singer is far enough off to need pitch correction, the auto settings won't really do it.
 
I've used it to make a really good vocal dead nuts perfect. But it has to be good to start with.
 
IMO, autotune is cool for effects and maybe for tuning a guide track BUT, I would seldom use it for the "real" track. It's just obvious and takes the life out of a vocal track.

If you learn how to manually use it, it can be done transparently. But you cannot take a bad performance and make it great. You can just take a great performance and make it more in tune.
 
"auto tune" is a misnomer really.
love the program and use it often. (spent about 3hr's, no joke, tuning vox yesterday)

but you have to go manual all the way.

..........
oooooooooo, that reminds me.
i'm going to go down load the update!

p.s. registered auto tune users; there's a new version. (if you haven't heard)

p.p.s. down load the up date? what the hell is language coming to?
does that really mean something.... anything?

Bypass? :D Actually, I'm not a member of the AT haters club. I use it occasionally, mostly on harmonies, and think it does a pretty good job when used lightly. That of course means that the vocal has to be pretty close to begin with. For auto mode, the speed and tracking settings that come up by default are WAY TOO MUCH! Back off on both of them till you see the correction meter just doing occasional correcting of a few cents, no more than 33 cents. Light use of auto will work on some songs, but on other songs it just won't, and manual is the only way to go. Be sure to solo the vocal track before deciding it sounds good. Some AT artifacts won't be apparent when listening to the full mix.
 
Bump

OK me hearties

here's me reason for regurgitating this ere thread har har

I have my ol' man is going to be tracking violin (& maybe even fiddle :D ) & acoustic bass both with a bow. Now he's pretty close pitch wise but it can sometimes wander

Has anyone ever used it on the aforementioned mind bending instruments??

AAARRRgh :D

Violin vs. fiddle

A violin is sometimes informally called a fiddle, regardless of the kind of music being played with it. The word "violin" is derived from Italian and the word "fiddle" is English.
Historically, the word fiddle also referred to a predecessor of today's violin. Like the violin, it tended to have 4 strings, but came in a variety of shapes and sizes. Another series of instruments which contributed to the development of the modern fiddle was the viol, which was played while held between the legs, and has a fretted fingerboard.
One very slight difference between "fiddles" and ordinary violins may be seen in American (e.g., bluegrass and old-time music) fiddling: in these styles, the top of the bridge may be cut so that it is very slightly less curved. This reduces the range of right-arm motion required for the rapid string-crossings found in some styles, and is said to make it easier to play double stops and shuffles (bariolage), or to make triple stops possible, allowing one to play chords.
Most classical violinists prefer a more rounded curve to the top of the bridge that allows them to articulate each note more easily and clearly. In practice, most instruments are fitted with a rounded bridge to better accommodate the shape of the fingerboard. (One exception is the 3-string kontra or bracsa, a viola used in Hungarian and Transylvanian folk music fitted with a flat bridge to allow all three strings to be played simultaneously.) In any case, the difference between "round" and "flat" is not great; about a quarter or half a millimeter variation in the height of one or two strings. A fiddle strung with steel will work best with a bridge as much as a millimeter lower overall. For gut, nylon or other synthetic-core strings, the action may be set suitably higher. As a violin's bridge is relatively easy to replace, modifying the bridge does not permanently make a violin into a fiddle.
In construction, fiddles and violins are exactly the same. Various clichés describe the difference: "When you are buying it, it's a fiddle. When you are selling it, it's a violin," The violin sings, the fiddle dances," or "A fiddle is a violin with attitude," or "No one cries when they spill beer on a fiddle." As might be expected from the differences between classical and folk music, violinists tend to be formally trained and fiddlers tend to be informally trained, although crossing over is not uncommon.

there ya go.
 
If you're if you're fiddling, it's a fiddle. If you'r playing violin, it's a violin. If you smack someone over the head with it, it's a blunt instrument.

If you wind up doing all three, it's skipple! :D

A lot of the music you hear on the radio has some sort of pitch correction on the vocals. this isn't to make a bad singer sound great, it's to get a great singer sound amazing...to get the performance from 98% to 100%. When done right, antares can be extremely transparent. it takes a lot of practice, and a lot of patience. and you have to use the graphic mode

I would definitely say that almost every single one of the lead vocal tracks was edited using the "graphic" setting, not the auto setting. This means you'll have to move every little note manually. some people think backing vocals can be ok on auto mode, simply because they don't sit out far enough in the mix to hear the "cher effect"

but IMO i think the auto function is terrible. i never use it

I'm also really getting into Melodyne. i'm really of the fan of the functionality it has.
