DX or Autotune support in T2?

[cocopuffz]

The autotune guys are taking some time to make the VST version of Autotune 4, so I'm wonder if T2 will support the DX version.

I've looked around and haven't run into hard info on this subject.

No DX support, not is there likely to be, AFAIK.

I forget what its called ( It think fb4 or ff4) its a free plug that lets you run DX in tracktion, in a 4 space rack. Someone know what I am talking about?

[Sidhu]

I never managed to use autotune with success...

[cocopuffz]

oh well. I'll have to wait for the VST then... But I will look out for that FB4 mentioned above. Thanks for the reply!

VB Audioware ffx4

though the link doesn't work anymore?

This is probably one of those tools that could do with going into modulr's 'Essential Utilities for Tracktion' Sticky thread. Whilst possibly not essential, it is certainly very useful for those who have invested in DX effects. I suppose someone could host it, i have a copy of it I could send, but reading the licence agreement it states that one 'may not sublicense, rent, lease,
convey, distribute, copy, modify, translate, convert
to another programming language, decompile,
disassemble the Software for any purpose' - so i'm not sure of the legality of distributing it (which seems a bit strange given that it is freeware - well actually a fully working demo version of the full ffx16 plug in included in the VB1 audiopack).

I have used the ffX4, and it works fine. And it does work with Autotune.

Autotune is one of those plugs that is used in a surprising number of commercial releases, but it's also one of those plugs that is often abused. Very effective when you learn how to use it properly.

And DX support will probably not happen because it's not cross platform, and I don't believe Jules wants that. I could be wrong though.

The download seems to work for me:

AutoTune vs Melodyne

any opinions?

[diverdee]

Cool - I wondered where the site had gone - nice one AndrewSimon

melodyne is sonically a little wierd but much muh deeper and more tweakable. Melodyne is more than just an autotuner - its an analysis re-synthesis prog with a great front end. It allows you to alter melodies, all the while recomputing the transitions to keep it natural sounding. you can easily grab individual notes and move them up or down the scale. You can also change the formants ie man to woman etc independant of pitch. An you can sttenuate or enhance vibrato blah blah blah. Since it is doing resynthesis there are some typical artifacts (autotune is more like an old chopping re-tuner - a little more faithful sonically though still lossy imho). bottom line melodyne: much more work, more fun, slightly wierd sound, more natural pitch-envelope.

I have the VST Auto Tune 4, and have for a while. are we talking about something else?

I like AT much better than Melodyne, which although it's sort of
Auto Tune for beginners, I find it to be complicated to use and I haven't been happy with the results.

the thing to remember about AT is it's the most ill-named music product next to Logic. forget the auto part, just learn to tune with it. use it in graphic mode and learn how to use it and you'll get good results.

and I'd say a good 90% of major releases have AT on them.

it looks like semiquaver posted while I was typing. he/she probably knows more about it than I do, I'm speaking from a point of view of strictly trying to tune a vocal. Melodyne had a lot of weird artifacts and was complicated. I haven't tried to get creative with it.

What grabbed my attention in Melodyne is the ability to fix timing problems.
Can this be done with AutoTune?
Or is it strictly for tuning?
