Iam new to Logic , I need help in figuring out the setup for Waves Tune Real Time. I can't hear the effects in real time. I've watch you tube videos, I am missing something in my setup. Can anyone assist me with the complete setup? Step by Step if possible.

Are you definitely using Waves Tune RT? Because there's another Waves plugin which isn't real-time and is called Waves Tune LT. It's a long shot, but just asking in case you have a bundle and have picked the wrong plugin from the list.

Disclaimer: I use my iPad as a DAW, to produce my music from start to finish. If you use it mainly as a live instrument or FX suite for live performances, perhaps you might want to find another review for your specific scenario.

it really is a shame there is still no usable autotune on ios.

I really like audiotune, but it is only good for trap style vocals because there really is no subtle setting.

AutoTune would be perfect if it wasnt so damn unstable. I only use it to immediately render the result, but even then i often have to try a couple of times to get it to work right. Mu-Retune is the worst sounding plugin ever. How anyone can use it for anything i can not understand. The one Knob Garageband one just has to little parameters. 4pockets Soloist has all the features but also produces a lot of wierd artifacts, even in hq mode, that sound like bassy transients that basically makes this one unusable for anything but backround vocals (even then it sounds messy). Also i never got the midifeatures to work. And sometimes i had instability issues with this one...

wave tunes would be nice with either custom scales or target pitch. the way it is now its really nothing new to ios. there are some apps that can do autotune that i didnt mention because they have no custom scales... i dont find those to be usable at all

would also love one day to see more creative approaches to autotune... like vibrato onset or even a modmatrix or triggered arps, this kind of stuff. Theres is so much popmusic with autotune out there right now, making use of many different styles and tones, i really cant believe how basic ios autotune apps still are.

When I use the regular Waves Tune I add it to the audio track, set midi input to on. Go to my midi track and set the output to waves tune plugin. On Waves tune there is a button to Receive Midi, which I turn to on. And it works. Latches on to my midi notes and makes the vocals only sync to those notes.

However when I start playing my audio back, the Target Pitch button turns itself off, and the plugin starts using notes that are NOT within the midi track. I'm assuming it just reverts back to the algorithmic tuning.

I'm also thinking it's Cakewalk because before this I was using the free plugin MAutoPitch, synced to MIDI, which worked, until I closed the session and re-opened later on. It would no longer read the midi notes and reverted back to the algorithmic correction until i deleted the plugin and re-added, re-set everything up. Does it every time I close the session. I contacted MeldaProduction and they didn't have an answer.

I would like to process a lead vocal in a Live situation with Cantabile Performer. I guess latency setting is the golden key. I own a Rme Baby face Pro and a good laptop. In an ideal world, I would like to create a rack with

a) waves tune real time

b) waves Eddy Kramer Vocal channel

Moreover, I feel very interested to know how do you manage to blend fx like delays or reverbs with Cantabile. I can easily do that with an Fx track within Cubase. But what would be the Best way, according to you, with Cantabile Performer ?

I have the NA noise gate, doubler, delay 3000 and Shimmer. The Shimmer is too much for my CPU for live play. All others are really well behaved and awesome in moderation. I like Nembrini and Waves. Maybe the Shimmer will work better with my C4, coming soon.

While the specifics will undoubtedly depend upon your exact hardware/software configuration, Tune Real-Time is going to need to be inserted in your signal flow in a way that allows the engineer (studio or front-of-house) and the singer to monitor through it in real time. As when applying any software processing to a live audio signal, that means a return journey for the audio through your computer system and back out to your monitor setup, making low latency all round an obvious requirement.

The Correction subpanel allows you to adjust just how tightly the pitch-correction is applied. Backing off from 100 percent here does help in terms of keeping the result transparent. If you want something more in the special effects category, you can also turn formant correction off; in conjunction with MIDI control of the notes, you can then move towards Micky Mouse or Darth Vader if you so wish.

Perhaps more interesting are the Note Transition and Tolerance controls. While the Speed control deals with the first note of a legato phrase, in the Wave Tune algorithm (in both its real-time and non-real-time formats), the Note Transition control influences the speed of correction applied as one note transitions into another during a phrase. In addition, the Cents and Time controls provide further influence over note transitions, allowing you to tolerate wider pitch drift before correction kicks in. OK, so the pitch-correction is still automatic, but these additional options do seem to offer an extra level of control.

There are also hardware alternatives, and in particular, TC-Helicon have developed a number of products aimed at live performance that include some pitch-correction options. A current example is the Mic Mechanic footpedal: this includes chromatic pitch-correction and is competitively priced, but does not provide the flexibility or level of user control offered by Tune Real-Time.

In the competitive landscape of vocal tuning and pitch correction software, the rivalry between Antares Auto-Tune Pro and Waves Tune Real-Time highlights a significant debate within the music production community.

Both tools offer unique features to enhance vocal performance, but they cater to slightly different needs and preferences. This article delves into a detailed comparison of these two popular plugins, focusing on their features, design, sound quality, ease of use, and overall value to help you decide which might best suit your musical projects.

Conversely, Waves, known for its wide array of plugins, introduced Waves Tune as a direct competitor, offering both an offline (Waves Tune) and a real-time version (Waves Tune Real-Time). Waves Tune Real-Time aims to provide instant pitch correction and is tailored more toward live performance settings, ensuring minimal latency and fast response times.

Waves Tune Real-Time, while simpler, provides efficient and straightforward real-time pitch correction, focusing on ease of use during live performances. It offers customizable parameters like scale settings, note correction speed, and formant correction, making it a practical choice for musicians who need quick setup and operation.

Auto-Tune Pro boasts a sleek interface with a more comprehensive set of tools and visual feedback, ideal for detailed editing. Its interface suits both beginners and professional users, but the wealth of options and controls can be overwhelming for some.

Waves Tune Real-Time features a more streamlined interface that prioritizes quick access to essential features. This design philosophy makes it especially appealing for live scenarios where speed is crucial. However, this simplicity might lack the depth that studio engineers looking for meticulous vocal editing would prefer.

Waves Tune Real-Time has an edge for live performances due to its optimized processing engine, which ensures low latency, an essential factor for live vocal processing. This makes it particularly useful for touring artists and live sound engineers who require reliable and fast pitch correction.

On the other hand, Auto-Tune Pro is more suited to studio environments where its detailed editing capabilities and finer control over corrections shine. Its flexibility makes it a favorite in professional recording settings where time is less constrained and vocal perfection is paramount.

The version of Antares Auto-Tune that most closely resembles the Waves Tune Real-Time plugin is Auto-Tune Artist. Auto-Tune Artist is designed specifically for live performance environments, offering low latency and real-time pitch correction, which align well with the primary features of Waves Tune Real-Time.

Since its inception, Auto-Tune has been a tool for correcting off-pitch singing and evolved into a distinctive sound that has shaped music across various genres. Auto-Tune has become a staple in modern music production, with some artists utilizing it for its corrective properties and embracing it as an artistic effect to define their musical style.
