There's many ways to use Auto-Tune, here I've laid in scratch midi notes, a common trick of tracking vocals to stay in key with the cue note. So I could just let Auto-Tune do all the work, but if I want to be a purist, I could use Auto-Tune for its information and then get the take right. So you hear what happened to the vocal, started out on key because of the cue note and then drifted off key and so it needs Auto-Tune. And when we look at the pitch change indicator, we can see exactly what the problem was. So again as a purist, at this point you could say OK, the problem was this and let's redo it with that knowledge in mind. Or, you say, we don't have time for that, let's use Auto-Tune and move on; either way, Auto-Tune has played an important role in the progress of your session and the quality of your song. And here we'll run midi into Auto-Tune, we select it as an output, record enabled, no configuration and no MS needed. Target notes via midi will force the performance to our midi input, where here the action will begin in E until I press A on my keyboard. We also have learn scale from midi, where we can simply play a riff and Auto-Tune will construct a scale from the notes that we play; 'Remove' removes the notes from the current scale while 'Bypass' lets the notes through. And you'll notice in both MIDI modes we switch to chromatic. You can switch to chromatic when the major or minor scales aren't offering you enough flexibility to maybe eliminate one problem note. Some people prefer to throw Auto-Tune on a track or tracks, and run it in automatic mode, which works quite well. But we also have graphical mode, where we can perform surgery on a waveform. So we trap pitch and then we can tweak the captured pitch in the most minute detail, and we could use our tools to do this. The red waveform is the input pitch, and the yellow is the target pitch, and the desired pitch. And we could set breakpoints, cut, copy, paste, draw freehand, whatever we like. Many times graphical mode will be used to fix one spot in the middle of a phrase, and or at the end, you get it right and press correct pitch. So our normal workflow might be to run it inline; check your vocals, if you find a problem, tweak your settings inline, and copy them. Use the audio Suite version, and then you could take Auto-Tune off of your tracks. And some people just use the audio Suite version exclusively to quickly hone in on a problem area, take it into graphical mode, fix it, process it and move on. So, whether you use Auto-Tune as a theory consultant, vocal trainer or pitch analyst, you'll be in good company because
