Auto-Tune® developer Antares Audio Technology launches Auto-Tune Vocodist, an advanced vocoder modeling plug-in

[Antares Support]

The vocoder produces one of the most recognizable vocal effects ever made—the original “robot voice” made famous on recordings by artists such as Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, and ELO. Auto-Tune Vocodist delivers the same legendary sounds of vintage vocoders in a new plug-in. Auto-Tune Vocodist is also the only vocoder modeling plug-in that has the full force and flexibility of Auto-Tune® built into the software. Now, you can create the vocoder effect and tune your vocals without ever leaving Vocodist, giving you more control over the unmistakable effect than ever possible.

Auto-Tune Vocodist also offers an expansive collection of the most essential vocoder models, a robust set of vocal effects, easy to use controls, and custom artist presets. Artists who contributed presets include P-Thugg (Chromeo) and producer Buddy Ross (Frank Ocean). Users can also look forward to new Artist presets being introduced in the coming months.

“When most people think of the words “vocal effect,” usually two sounds come to mind. The iconic “Auto-Tune effect,” and the legendary sound of the vocoder,” says Steve Berkley, CEO, Antares Audio Technologies. He continues, “While there are similarities between them, they’re both unique and essential effects for producing vocals. As the creators of Auto-Tune, it’s only natural that we offer our own take on the vocoder. Auto-Tune Vocodist was developed by the same team behind Auto-Tune and is built to the same level of quality—and innovation—as our flagship products. Beyond just offering the classic vocoder sounds people expect, we’ve added the full power of Auto-Tune built in, as well as custom presets and an array of effects. So you’ll be able to reproduce the legendary sound of the vocoder, but also have the creative tools to help you discover the next iconic vocal effect.”

Auto-Tune Vocodist is already inspiring A-list producers like Buddy Ross, producer for artists including Frank Ocean, Haim, and Vampire Weekend. He says that, “Vocodist is really cool and has Auto-Tune baked-in, so beyond just tuning the vocal you can add character and synthesis to it.” He goes on to say that, “I think a lot of other producers will like using Auto-Tune Vocodist because we always have to come up with new, fresh sounds. And this is a great way to do that.”

Auto-Tune Vocodist is available exclusively with Auto-Tune Unlimited, the premium subscription service that includes every current edition of Auto-Tune, all 11 of the vocal effects in the AVOX suite, unlimited upgrades for included plug-ins, and free access to select future plug-ins from Antares. Current Auto-Tune Unlimited subscribers will now have access to Auto-Tune Vocodist at no extra cost. New subscribers can access Auto-Tune Unlimited for $24.99 paid monthly, or $18.74 a month with paid annual subscription. A free, 14-day trial is also available.

I see someone reported this post. Good, I was about to. Looks like the OP reported some of our posts about this being off topic/an ad, whatever, because some of our posts were deleted. Of course, likely *this* post will get deleted too... but, honestly, as a first post by this 'user', it's clearly an ad.

[fairlyclose]

looks fabulous but I dont want to subscribe.

somehow this made me cringe very hard.

Yadda yadda yadda where's the Hatsune Miku

[CinningBao]

Why did they choose 2 people who clearly don't actually use vocoders with any real interest or skill to do the videos?

but, honestly, as a first post by this 'user', it's clearly an ad.

Well, it's basically a press release, posted by the dev.

No different from, say, this one:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=571262

...which got no criticism at all for being an "ad".

Except that as a first and second post by a new user, it goes against the forum rules to some degree. Other than that, I don't disagree.

Clearly the forum rules get bent when it's someone paying the bills.

Plus, I can't add the OP as a foe (so I can ignore their posts) because THAT is not allowed when the poster is a "moderator' or whatever they consider this type of account.

But, at the end of the day, this site isn't a forum with ads, it's a big ad site that also has forums. It's a business first.

Anyway, I'll go about my day. Nothing will be won here.

perhaps you should have just looked at the support forums we have here...because than you would see how wrong you are. Moderator should be your first clue...Obviously this new account here is part of Antares support, and look there is a new support forum forum Antares...hmmm

Your accusations demand an apology to KvR admin (not mods, Ben), in your scenario we would give someone a support forum but not allow them to advertise their product like everyone else? No, you were just wrong and quick to only see it from the negative side.

Perhaps we should stop jumping to conclusions...

I saw the new forum, and so I recognize that the new user is a moderator. My point is: would a new user, a solo developer (who didn't have a unique forum in KVR), be able to create such a forum post? If the answer is yes, then I concede whole-heartedly, and my deepest apologies to Antares and the mods/admins here.

If the answer is no, then my point still stands - that there is special consideration to paying 'clients' that a person/company who cannot afford to pay doesn't get. Which, if that's the case, that's still fine - it's not my site to regulate/govern, despite what I might think of things and what's fair. So, either way, my apologies.

Do you really expect a response to that...you want to make a comparison between a solo developer and Antares? Do you know of any solo developers that were not allowed to post their new product as you say? (FTR I honestly dont know of any) Keep in mind we also have the developer challenge here.

Hink - you would know better than I would if devs weren't allowed to post their new products - so I was essentially asking if that was true or not. If solo devs, including first-time-posters are allowed, then clearly I am wrong across the board. I believe that's what you're saying - so, yes, I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions and sorry for my posts.

Thanks for straightening things out. Sorry to take up your time.

To make subscribing interesting , all other vendors and plugins must disappear. Vocoder looks great though.
