Varispeed AutoTune

Varispeed can transpose the Key/Scale parameter of all Auto-Tune plug-ins in your project.

The supported plug-ins are:

  • Antares Auto-Tune (Access, Artist, Pro)
  • Waves Tune Real-Time
  • Nectar (3, 4, and the Pitch plug-in)
  • MetaTune
  • Melda MAutoPitch
  • Melodyne
  • AutoTuna
  • Xpitch

And of course, the built-in AutoShift works too without enabling anything. : )

Some notes for specific Auto-Tune plug-ins:

  • Antares Auto-Tune (Access, Artist, Pro):
Different versions of Auto-Tune are built differently and require different methods to transpose them. There’s a list to choose the behavior that fits your instances:
If you’re using the latest Antares versions, use Auto-Tune A.
If you’re using either an older version or a UAD one, choose between Auto-Tune B or C mode (depending on which flavor or version you’re using—check how it reacts to Varispeed to decide which one works for your plug-in).
  • Waves Tune Real-Time:

The AU and VST/VST3 versions are built differently and require different methods to transpose them. Choose your format from the list.

  • iZotope Nectar (3, 4, and Pitch):

The AU and VST/VST3 versions are built differently and require different methods to transpose them. Choose your format from the list.

  • Melodyne:

Since there’s no ARA implementation in Live 11 and 12 (yet), when you change your project’s tempo, Melodyne can’t follow it correctly and will play the audio from its timeline in the wrong position.
To prevent this, when you enable Melodyne transposition, the Tempo circuit of Varispeed will be automatically disabled.

Note: Varispeed can only transpose these plug-ins if their Key parameter is visible in Live.
Check the Serato section to see how to configure them.
