Auto Tune Realtime Ableton

Posted on  by

Autotune for Ableton Live We’ve modded Cycling 74 Autotuna which is included in Max 7 Pitch and Time Machine pack. Now you can easily select which scale you want to pitch correct. Autotuna – A scale-based microtonal auto-tuner that can use Scala files. This device uses the retune object to tune the audio to a given scale. Scales can be either entered by hand, or loaded from Scala files – a file format for musical tunings that is a standard for exchange of scales. Learn more about Scala. Hit configure in the ableton interface in the audio effects bar in arrangement view. Then open up the plugin and click the parameters you want to automate. It will show up in the ableton interface. A dream tool that helps vocalists stay in tune while singing, feel confident, and focus on the emotion of their performance, in the studio or live on stage. Waves Tune Real-Time provides smooth, natural-sounding vocal pitch correction instantly and automatically, as soon as the notes leave the singer's mouth.

Before we jump in, don’t forget to check out and download our Worship Ministry Toolkit. This will provide you with a list of all the gear we talk about so it will help you follow along.

Uses and Purpose of Auto Tune in Worship

We know that auto-tune can be a divisive issue, but here are a couple things to keep in mind:

Auto-tune should never be used to compensate for poor singing

Auto-tune is not, and should not be used to ‘make up’ for wildly incorrect pitches, it is only there to give that extra push if necessary. We’re all for excellence in worship, and we encourage our band to practice and be the best that they can. Auto-tune is just a tech-savvy way of eliminating small mistakes or distractions.

Auto-tune works best with great singers

It can ‘tune’ them up to make dense, difficult harmonies that much better. Not everyone sings perfectly on pitch all the time and auto-tune is able to take those small inconsistencies and correct them in a natural, non-artificial sounding way. A part of gospel-centered worship is crafting the best ministry we can and we believe that auto-tune has a place in that vision.

Gear Required for Auto-Tune

Auto

I’m going to give you a brief overview of the gear you’ll need to set up auto-tune. I’ll go more in-depth in the next section, but the Ultimate Guide to Worship Tech 3-pt. Series will be helpful if you don’t already have some of this gear.

Digital Mixing Console

You’ll need a console that is comparable to the Midas X32 or M32. We use the M32R at our church, but you can use your preferred console so long as it can do the following:

  • Can connect to computer via USB or Dante

  • Has multiple inputs and outputs /huawei-firmware-update-wizard.html.

  • Can send raw audio data to the computer and then receive it back once it’s tuned

Pretty much any modern digital mixing console can do this, but just be aware so you don’t spend money on the wrong gear.
Dante Expansion Card

Now, this is not necessary, but it is extremely helpful for getting your auto-tune up and running. Dante helps you manage your inputs and outputs in a really straightforward way, making it easy for setup. You don’t need to use it, and can do just fine via regular USB connection, but we do think it makes managing your signal flow a lot easier.

Here’s a brief overview of our signal path:

  • Signals from the three vocalists come from the sound console via Dante, to Ableton

  • Signals get tuned and sent back to the sound console

  • The sound console sends those signals and the tuned vocals come out of the PA

By utilizing the Dante network, all our gear can talk to each other and create the flow that you need. We put our auto tuning in Ableton, but on a computer that’s completely separate from our slides, clicks, tracks, etc. Because we have Dante, the computers can talk to each other and the mixing console so that they all work together and keep our signal paths uncluttered.

Auto Tune Plug-Ins

The two most popular tuning plug-ins are Auto-Tune and Waves Tune by Waves. We recommend Waves because it does everything Auto-Tune does but for a fraction of the price. Install the Waves Plug-In into Ableton and you’ll have vocal tuning up in no time.

Setting Up Auto Tuning

Now that we’ve gone through all of the gear, we’ll walk you through how to set up auto-tuning for one vocal mic.

Building in a Safety Net

This step isn’t necessary, but is a good practice just in case anything goes wrong. What we do is create two channels, one for the raw vocals and one for the tuned vocals. This is so if anything goes wrong with Ableton, the sound engineer can easily mute the tuned vocals and turn up the raw signal. Again, it’s not necessary but might be good to keep in mind when building your setup.

So here’s how we set up those channels:

  • Raw signal from our stage box goes into our sound console (we also use this for the in-ear monitoring because it’s not good to monitor your tuned sound)

  • The second, tuned signal is coming from the back of the board into Ableton where it’s tuned

  • It’s then fed back into the console and goes out to the PA system

Routing Overview

Routing the signal to the stage box:

  • Mic takes the sound and it goes to the XLR cable and into the stage box

  • The stage box then goes to the back of the mixing console

Sending Audio to Ableton

  • Since we’re using Dante, we send the signal from the mixing console through the Dante network

  • The network picks up the signal and goes into the Dante Sound Card and into Ableton Live

  • This gives you the ability to see and modify all of your channels with ease

Sending Signal Back to the Console

  • You’ll be able to see the Dante Sound Card plug-in in Ableton

  • It will give you access to all of the inputs/outputs, and you can modify which channels you want

  • Once you’ve done that in the preferences, the signals will go back through the Dante Network and into the console

Configuring Your Auto Tuning Preferences

Now that you’ve made sure all of your channels and routing are correct, you’re ready to dive into Waves.

  • Go into the Ableton Plug-Ins tab and drag Waves down into the screen

  • Once it’s open, hit the ‘wrench’ icon to open up your settings

  • Now you can modify your pitch correction for your desired effects

Once your in the settings, you can play with everything from the tuning mode to the speed of the note transition. You can set them to anything you want, but we’ve found that the default settings already sound pretty natural. Any further tinkering is all to need or taste.

We’ve kept ours in the chromatic mode, which will correct the pitch to the closest chromatic note. We have competent singers so 99.99% of the time, the tuning corrects a slightly sharp or flat note to the desired pitch.


Testing the Signal Flow

Before you start using auto-tuning in your services, you’ll want to test it first.

Go back into Dante and make sure all of your channels, inputs, and outputs are correct. You should be able to see your inputs match up properly so that they’re all routed into the sound console. If you’ve done two channels like we do, you’ll be able to turn up or down each channel so you can hear the difference between the raw and tuned signal.

Wrap-up

The great thing about this setup is that you can customize it to exactly what you need. Auto-tune can empower even the best musicians sound even just a bit better, helping you to craft a gospel-centered and tech-savvy worship service.

What is Autotune ?

Auto-Tune is a program that measures and adjusts the pitch of a recording. It has been used for quite a long time to correct slightly off-pitch voice recordings, and it’s pretty good at that — most Auto-Tune use you will most likely not hear or detect.

However, recently it’s also been used to correct way off-pitch recordings, and it has two negative effects when used like that — it makes the singer’s voice sound distorted, which sounds bad (unless it’s your goal, and in these cases it isn’t), and it shows that the singer isn’t even consistently capable of approximately hitting the notes.

Building on over 17 years as the overwhelming choice of professional musicians, producers and engineers, Auto-Tune 8 is the new generation of genuine Auto-Tune pitch and time correction.

New in Auto-Tune 8 is Antares’ revolutionary new Flex-Tune real-time pitch correction technology. While providing the seamless, natural pitch correction and audio quality that Auto-Tune is known for, Flex-Tune correction gives singers unmatched freedom to exercise their vocal creativity.

In addition to the option of Flex-Tune, Auto-Tune 8 features a new ultra-low latency mode for use during tracking or for live performance, along with a variety of workflow enhancements designed to let you address your pitch and time correction tasks with a maximum of creativity and a minimum of frustration
