mixonline.com reported that Antares has officially launched AutoTune Advanced, the latest iteration of its flagship pitch correction software. The new plug-in represents a complete rebuild from the ground up, introducing a patent-pending DVA engine designed to recognize and preserve natural vibrato while maintaining vocal character. This feature sits atop an updated Auto-Mode pitch algorithm, which Antares states marks its largest engineering investment since the tool’s original introduction.
Manufacturers and distributors will find the new Live mode particularly relevant for live sound applications, offering real-time monitoring with plug-in latency as low as 0.84 ms at 44.1 kHz. Users can toggle between Low Latency mode for responsive tracking and High Quality mode for superior fidelity. The release also expands creative control through a new Formant Designer for shaping vocal timbre and a custom scale workflow.
For retailers and producers, the update includes a 78-note Visual Keyboard and MIDI Perform functionality, allowing MIDI controllers to act as hands-on surfaces for real-time automation or mixing adjustments. The product is available via perpetual license or the AutoTune Unlimited subscription service, which includes a free trial. A library of presets from Grammy-winning artists like Julian Marley and Benjamin Thomas accompanies the release, aiming to streamline workflows for music producers across the industry.
