Give it a shot in the effects chain to get some interesting effects due to Soundgoodizer’s limiter. Optional: At this point, we’ve found that inserting the Soundgoodizer plug-in after the Reverb works very, very well on autotuned vocals. This we’ve placed at about 50% volume to make sure that it isn’t too overpowering on the vocals. This may produce too much brightness on nicer microphones, so you may want to start at 400% and work your way down until you’ve got a reasonably bright vocal.Īfter the EQUO, we’ll add a Reverb effect to the chain. This exaggerated EQ will add even more definition to the robotic effect. Using EQUO, we’ve boosted all of the frequencies past 2.5kHz to about 400%. We’ll be using this EQ to brighten up the highs, and exaggerate the artificial effect. The next thing in our FX chain after the auto-tuner is going to be an EQ plugin. These effects will change from microphone to microphone, so it is important to experiment until you get the sound you’re looking for. The spirit of this effect is to sound a little more robotic, so what we are going to do now is further create that robotic/artificial sound using other effects. With these basic settings in place, you should be singing your robotic heart out. You may notice some difference here, but the key to real auto-tuned vocals is to change the “Retuning” threshold to as fast as possible, in this case “0.” With it down at zero, when your voice fluctuates from note to note, it detects what note your voice is in, then jumps it to the next note in the scale, keeping it in key. T-Pain’s hit song ‘Buy U A Drank’ is in B-flat minor, so we’ll change the key to B-flat and the scale to minor.
With the input type changed, it is now time to change the key and scale. This will trick the AutoTuner into shifting your voice upwards, and “filling in” your missed notes with a synthesized “voice.” We are going to manipulate the tuning engine by changing it to “Alto/Tenor Voice”.
This helps the tuning engine accurately adjust the incoming signal (in this case, your voice) to “tune” correctly. Notice any difference? You probably can’t–we need to change some settings before going further.Īt this point, you’re going to want to change the “Input Type” at the top. If not, you’re going to need to check your ASIO/WDM settings, or make sure that you have a soundcard or interface that can support a microphone input.Īssuming you have activity coming in and that you can hear yourself, load Antares AutoTune onto the first slot of the mixer. If done correctly, you should have activity on the input meter. Ours is on Blobusound Channel 2, so I select that accordingly. We are going to set up a mixer channel in FL Studio to pick up our microphone. If you’re weary of purchasing this product, we’ve found that if you are working with any sort of vocals it pays for itself almost immediately. Buyer's have the opportunity to browse offerings from amazingly talented people all over the world.Make sure you’ve purchased Antares AutoTune, a similar VST, or have picked up the demo. The Benefits: For sellers the benefit is obvious - we handle all the marketing and you make money doing what you're best at. AirGigs holds payment until the gig has been completed and then Sellers pay between 8-15% commission based on seniority, bonuses and promotions. The Finances: When a buyer purchases a gig, payment is made through PayPal. Buyers can leave reviews of gigs they have purchased. All communication and file exchange happens through the Airgigs system. They set the terms, provide representative audio samples and specify what materials (rough mixes, session files, formats, etc) that they require from buyers. The Process: On AirGigs, sellers post gigs for music production services that they can deliver online. And why do we think it's possible? "Virtual" collaboration is already happening all over the music world, and AirGigs is just a central platform where people can post gigs for their skills and talents. The Goal: To open up new possibilities for music production via online collaboration and a new income stream for sound designers, session musicians and audio engineers. The Concept: A marketplace & community of recording, mixing and mastering professionals working on projects from their own studios.
