When it comes to the free manipulation of audio in the time and pitch domains, there’s arguably nothing to beat Celemony’s Grammy-winning software solution for sheer power, features and quality of results. The quality and humanism of its pitch and vibrato modulation are truly exceptional, and while there will always be limits as to how far a vocal can be shifted before it starts to fall apart, Auto-Tune’s core algorithms are unarguably up there with the best of them when it comes to pushing that particular envelope.Ī bona-fide milestone in music technology, and as relevant today as ever. Whether you hand the reins over in Auto mode, snapping the vocal (or other monophonic input) to your chosen scale or real-time MIDI note input, or take command of tuning and timing yourself in the powerful Graph mode, Auto-Tune Pro X always gets the job done, and to whatever degree of transparency you need.

And with improvements made for the upgrade to the latest, ‘Pro X’ version in 2022 including a full redesign for the powerful Graph mode, the ability to edit multiple instances in a single interface, and native Apple Silicon compatibility, the company are clearly committed to keeping their flagship moving forwards. Essentially an automatic pitch correction system that can cater to everything from natural-sounding fixing up of your wayward singer to the clichéd but still oddly acceptable extreme retuning effects with which it’s always been publicly associated, Antares’ money maker still feels like audio sorcery, more than 20 years after its invention. The most famous and loved/hated of all vocal processors, Auto-Tune needs no introduction.
