[. . . ] Auto-Tune 5 uses the Tracking setting during both the Track Pitch function and while correcting pitch. Changing the Tracking setting after Tracking Pitch, but before correcting, may result in unpredictable pitch modifications or strange (though possibly interesting) artifacts. Correct Pitch (host dependent) If you're new to Auto-Tune and following along here in the manual, you're probably scanning the Graphical Mode screen and wondering where the heck the Correct Pitch button is. And if you're an experienced Auto-Tune user, you're probably wondering the same thing. In all previous versions of Auto-Tune, after creating correction curves, you would have to press the Correct Pitch button in order to put Auto-Tune into correction mode. As a result, the Auto-Tune window always had to be open in order to use Graphical Mode. Essentially, anytime you are not tracking pitch, Auto-Tune 5 will be correcting. It is this basic change that allows you to use multiple instances of Auto-Tune 5 simultaneously in Graphical Mode without having to have their windows visible. Sync to host transport (host dependent) If your host provides valid time information, once you have tracked audio and created correction curves (see below), Auto-Tune 5 will maintain sync with the host program, allowing you to move around in your track at will. functionality may require updating to the latest version of your host program. Check the Read Me file for details. NOTE: In some cases, this NOTE: This functionality is only YET ANOTHER NOTE: Be cautious Additionally, if your host does not provide valid time information or does not strictly adhere to its plug-in format specification, sync problems could ensue. (Again, check the Read Me file for any specific examples. ) Using Internal Clock Mode To select Auto-Tune 5's Internal clock, click the Internal button. Use your host transport to move to the beginning of the section you want to correct and note that position, as you will need to return to that precise place for correction. Click the Reset button to set the clock position to 00:00:0. Selectable Clock Source For hosts that do not provide valid time information, Auto-Tune 5's clock display and selection functions let you use an internal time reference for Auto-Tune 4 style operation. Since all of the controls in the Clock section are used together, we will describe them as a group. Determining if your host provides valid clock information To determine if your host supplies valid clock information, click the Host button to select the host-supplied clock and put your host into Play. If Auto-Tune 5 is receiving valid timing information from your host, the Position display should constantly update to reflect your current position in the track. Moving forward or backward in the track should result in corresponding display updates. If this is in fact happening, you have confirmed your host's timing info. Simply leave the clock setting on Host and enjoy all of Auto-Tune 5's new features. On the other hand, if the display does not update or if it does not accurately reflect your host's transport, Auto-Tune 5 may be getting bad (or no) clock information. Click the Track Pitch button, play the desired audio and then stop the transport. [. . . ] But again, depending on the actual performance, sometimes this will work better than others. If Adjust Vibrato seems to be making changes to parts of the audio you'd like to leave alone, simply Undo the adjustment and use the I-Beam to select only the vibrato portions you wish to edit. The Clear All Button Clicking the Clear All button erases all tracking and correction information, whether or not it is currently visible on the Pitch Display. Since you can not undo this function (and accidentally executing it could be catastrophic), you must confirm your intent in a warning dialog. [. . . ]
