Antares Auto-Tune and Protools

[Alex Coleman]

Just wondering if someone could remind me which version of auto tune is accessible with ProTools and voiceover?
Also, are there additional Scripps or macros that I need to acquire in order for it to work correctly?
And, is it possible for us, as voiceover users, to be able to correct pitch using a midi keyboard?
Thanks for your assistance.

Correcting pitch with a midi keyboard is definitely possible. I've done it. I don't personally prefer doing it that way, but it does work.

Personally, I got the cloud based Antares Auto-Tune Unlimited subscription, and I couldn't be happier! I love it! This literally will give you access to all of their products. Anything from Harmony EVO, Choir, Auto-Tune EFX, Mic MOd, basically, everything. I can't even begin to remember everything, but believe me, I don't know what country you're in, so prices may, and probably will vary, but at least here in the US, it's $26.00 per month. That is a hell of a steal! If you bought these plugins outright, I don't even wanna think! how much you'd be paying for the whole shebang. That makes my wallet hurt just thinking about it. LOL! BTW, at least the plugins in the bundle I've so far used regularly, I've not seen a need for macros or the like. It pretty well seems to be very accessible as is. Now keep in mind, I mainly only do basic stuff, but the stuff I've done, it works just fine.

Hey, thanks Chris, for the quick reply and all of the great information. I also would just be using it for very basic tuning scenarios, unless I figured out I could do more with it. I will definitely check it out. Thanks again, and have a great Thanksgiving.

There's definitely a lot more you can do with it accessibly even than just basic stuff, but I confess, I've not really dove much into all the things the different plugins can do.

Mainly, I wanted Mic Mod, but realized getting the whole monthly subscription was way way way cheaper than me just buying mic mod by itself outright. I do use Auto-Tune EFX on occasions, so I guess it's really a win for win deal. Although for pitch correction, I actually tend to find myself now adays more going to Waves Tune Realtime, but anyway, that's another discussion entirely. LOL!

Hey Chris, I went ahead and made the plunge and got an autotune subscription for US$125. You are right, it does include a lot of stuff.
I do have a question, however. I’m sure it is something I am doing wrong or a gross misunderstanding of how some of the plug-ins should work, but I am having issues when inserting certain plug-ins on a track, where the audio from the track goes away. What I mean by going away, is I can’t hear it anymore. The actual audio still remains, but I cannot hear it during playback nor while monitoring input with record armed. Hope that makes sense.
One example of a plug-in that is causing this phenomenon is Mike mod. There are others, but this is one that I remember specifically trying.
Just wondering if you, or anyone else has experienced this type of situation and if so, how did you correct it? What am I doing wrong?
Just for reference, I am running the latest version of ProTools on macOS 10.15.7 I believe.

Do you have VOCR installed? Can you do VOCR on the plugin window and see what you find? My guess is that some of them are not activated. You will need to VOCR to use Antares central as well to activate things

Thanks Rocco. Actually, I do not have VOCR installed. How can I acquire that tool? Thanks.

I meant to reply to you about autotune etc. more specifically earlier but haven't had a chance with holidays yet. I'm about to board a flight but Ken write in more detail later. If you've never used VOCR before it's incredible. Check out the link below to download and read more

I know exactly 100 percent what is going on!


The plugins aren't activated yet.


You have to install the Antares manager, then log into your Antares
account through it, and activate your unlimited subscription. This isn't
gonna be accessible, but like Rocko said, you might be able to get away
with using VOCR to get the job done.


Personally, I just called Aira and had them Team Viewer into my system
and do it for me, as frankly, I knew even with VOCR, they could just
click and have it done in like, 30 seconds or less. I get however that
not everyone has Aira, and even if they did, may not wanna go that route.


Once things however are activated, you won't have this problem any
longer, and everything else should then be totally accessible without
the need for VOCR.


Chris.

Hi Chris, Alex, and all:

A marvelous Monday to you all. In reference to the pluggins issue
being solved at hand, I have this question about an accessible
pluggins for the blind. What pluggins package would you guys recommend
for podcast and imaging production and things of that nature? I would
greatly appreciate your time and thoughts. God bless.

Best,

Dammie
