How does Auto-Tune get intonation corrected to the right pitch
Autotune is a software sound effect that can make a person who sings false, hit notes at perfect pitch. Autotune does this automatically.
Autotune software has become a common tool in all sorts of recording studios. It is often also so, that auto-tune gets used in live performances. It can make it hard to know if singers hits the tones right at concerts.
Manufacturers of autotune software
The first of autotune software that kunde be used to automatically stemmekorrigering in live performances were Antares Auto-Tune. This is where the ordinary language "to use autotune" comes from. The term covers a range av different kinds of software with the same properties as the first auto-tune.
Some of the most famous programs for automated vocal editing / pitch correction are Antares Auto-Tune, Celemony Melodyne, Yamaha Pitch Fix (which is integrated into the computer sequencer Cubase) and Waves Tune. All effects are based on the same principles as the original Auto-tune from the late nineties.
How autotune does work?
Autotune is based on so called phase vocoding technology. It is an analysis-synthesis algorithm. Autotune software analyses the pitch of the singing voice, as well as the overtones and the spectral content of the voice. Then resyntetiserar autotune the sound's data at the correct pitch.
Auto-tune as artistic effect
It has become common to use autotune as a vocoding effect. Especially in contemporary R'n'B, Hip Hop and pop the emphasis on the vocoderlike characteristics of aggressive autotune correction has become modern and defines the sound of a number of chart hits. Ke$ha, Timbaland, Lady Gaga, Owl City, Britney Spears and even the star of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, uses autotune as sound effect to great extent.
