quick antares auto tune 4 question
 
When I am installing antares auto tune 4, should I install the direct x installer or the RTAS installer or both? I am running pro tools m-powered 7.0 with an m audio firewire 1814 on my laptop. Thanks,
Seth

RTAS, unless you have another app, that hosts Direct-X.
good luck,

When doing vocals, should I run the vocal track through antares auto tune first before adding any effects such as reverb, eq, compression, etc. How do you guts do it to get a good vocal sound. Also, I am currently recording a terrible singer and have to try my best to fix his off key vocals but when I do, some of the notes seem electronic or phasery. Is there a tip you guys can give me for smooth natural pitch correction? Im sure with a good singer this wouldn't be as much of a problem.

Thanks,
Seth

Yes. I usually use it on an alt playlist with AudioSuite.

....well....how much time do have? I worked with a guy at a music store several years ago who used to tell potential customers they would be better off spending the money on lesions than buying the guitar.

futz, futz, and more futz. Graphic mode. Then throw up your hands and insert a chorus with heavy detune.

You are absolutely correct.

Hey thanks for the awesome tips. Tbe way I use it is...after tracking, I create a new track and name it AT and run the original vocal out to a bus and set the new tracks (AT) input to the same bus I sent the original vocal out to. I fix sections at a time and then record the fixed sections to the new track. Now, the way that I insert auto tune is through the inserts in the mix window, which I know takes up more cpu. But, after I have corrected the vocals and they are recorded to the new track, if I take the inserted auto tune plug in off of the track, it will be as if I hadn't used a plug in, and the vocals will be in tune on the new track correct? I am just trying to save cpu power. Also, I got this method of correcting vocals from another post on this forum, but I dont really know why I have to use buses...I do and it works great, but couldn't I just insert auto tune on a track, fix the vocal and solo the track and record it to the new track, same thing? I dont fully understand buses yet...any help or tips would be great!

Thanks,
Seth

Seth ,

It looks as you are already using it !
Don't forget your ears...they are the most useful instruments in music production..
keep it up & happy tooling,
