10 state-of-the-art vocal processing modules for stunning vocal tracks, plus a pitch-correction plug-in.
Antares Auto-Tune Vocal Studio TDM combines Auto-Tune Evo, the popular pitch correction plug-in, with
AVOX Evo, the latest generation of the Antares Vocal Toolkit which includes Harmony Engine Evo. Combined, they provide a comprehensive
suite of tools for producing world-class vocal tracks.
Auto-Tune Vocal Toolkit
From Antares, the company that revolutionized vocal production with Auto-Tune comes AVOX Evo—the newest generation of
the Antares Vocal Toolkit. Now featuring Antares' seriously evolved Evo Voice Processing Technology, AVOX Evo combines 10
state-of-the-art vocal processing modules to give you the power you need to create stunning vocal tracks in any musical style
as well as to design unique vocal effects for audio post-production applications.
AVOX Evo incorporates Dr. Andy's
groundbreaking Evo Voice Processing technology. First seen (and heard) in Auto-Tune Evo, the result is a higher level of sonic
performance. With faster, more accurate pitch detection, smoother, artifact-free pitch shifting, and seamless, natural-sounding
(if you want it to be) throat modeling, AVOX Evo plug-ins just work better. This leaves you free to focus on creating your
music.
Other additions include redesigned user interfaces for the original 5 AVOX plug-ins, 5 integrated channels
of Antares' unique CHOIR Vocal Multiplier in Harmony Engine Evo, high-quality pitch shifting in THROAT Evo, tempo-synced alienization
rate in MUTATOR Evo, and more.
The AVOX Evo Antares Vocal Toolkit includes:
Harmony Engine Evo Vocal Modeling Harmony Generator a realtime harmony generating plug-in that puts professional-quality vocal
harmony arrangements within reach of every songwriter, producer, musician, or engineer.
With 4 independent harmony
voices, a variety of powerful harmony generating modes, humanization features for natural sounding performances, 5 integrated
channels of CHOIR Vocal Multiplier, and a flexible realtime preset system for harmony and vocal type, Harmony Engine Evo provides
incredibly easy-to-use tools to quickly and easily produce virtually any vocal arrangement you can imagine.
Whether
you're an experienced vocal arranger, a songwriter looking for that perfect backup vocal, or a composer experimenting with
unique vocal effects, Harmony Engine Evo gives you entirely new ways to create the harmony parts you hear in your head. In
fact, experimenting with different harmonies is so easy, you may find yourself using Harmony Engine to explore harmonic alternatives
you may have never otherwise considered.
MUTATOR Evo Extreme Voice Designer
MUTATOR Evo provides a combination of tools for creating unusual, weird, or downright wacky voices. With high-quality pitch
shifting, throat modeling, pitch-tracking ring modulator-based "mutation," and a mind-bending tempo-synced Alienization function,
MUTATOR Evo is the perfect tool for unique, special vocal effects and post-production sound design.
ARTICULATOR
Evo Digital Talk Box
A modern-day version of the venerable talk box, ARTICULATOR Evo lets you extract the formant and amplitude information from
a vocal (or other dynamic source) and apply it to any other audio track or to a built-in broadband noise generator. It's perfect
for talking guitars, singing synths, and a wide range of special effects.
WARM Tube Saturation Generator
Based on Antares' legendary Tube plug-in, WARM warms up vocals with Antares' world-renown analog tube modeling technology,
while being so processing-efficient that you can put an instance on pretty much every track in a project and still barely
see your CPU meter twitch.
With 2 tube models, a variable Drive control to set just the right amount of dynamic saturation,
and an innovative OmniTube function to apply the tube effect to the entire signal (as opposed to just the transients), WARM
is a great-sounding, incredibly easy-to-use tool for giving your vocals the benefits of a wide range of modeled analog tube
effects.
ASPIRE Evo Aspiration Noise Processor
ASPIRE Evo is the world's first tool for modifying a voice's breathiness independently of its harmonic content. Whether reducing
a bit of vocal rasp or adding a bit of smokiness, ASPIRE Evo allows modification of the amount and quality of a voice's aspiration
noise without otherwise affecting the vocal's harmonic characteristics.
When you speak or sing, air from your lungs
is forced through your vocal chords, causing them to vibrate. The resulting waveform is propagated through the throat, the
mouth, and out through the lips. It is the shape of these structures that create the resonant characteristics that define
a unique vocal identity.
But going into a bit more detail, the vocal waveform is actually a combination of two different
components. One, the one we usually think of as the primary element of vocal timbre, is the harmonic content generated by
the process described above. However, there is a second component that is generated by the turbulence of the air rushing past
the vocal chords. This component, aspiration noise, does not have harmonic content and can roughly be thought of as "breathiness."
Aspiration noise presents itself in a variety of ways, from a subtle bit of breathiness to a full-blown rasp. Of course,
whether it's a problem or not depends on the amount of noise and the style of a performance. A whole lot of roughness that
would work well for screaming punk or roots blues might well be a problem for mainstream pop or a smooth ballad (of course,
it also might not). Up to now, there wasn't much you could do about it. Now, with ASPIRE Evo, there is.
THROAT
Evo Physical Modeling Vocal Designer
THROAT Evo is a revolutionary new vocal tool that lets you process a vocal through a meticulously crafted physical model of
the human vocal tract. THROAT Evo begins by neutralizing the effect of the original singer's vocal tract and then gives you
the ability to specify the characteristics of the modeled vocal tract.
THROAT Evo's controls allow you to modify the
voice's glottal waveform as well as globally stretch, shorten, widen, or constrict the modeled vocal tract. For even more
detailed control, THROAT Evo's graphical Throat Shaping display allows you to individually adjust the position and width of
five points in the vocal tract model, from the vocal chords, through the throat, mouth, and out to the lips. THROAT Evo's
Breathiness controls let you add variable frequency noise to the model, resulting in a range of vocal effects from subtle
breathiness, to raspiness, to a full whisper. Finally, THROAT Evo allows you to shift the pitch of the voice up or down an
octave to create a wide range of alternative vocal characters.
While Antares THROAT Evo has been designed to allow
subtle modifications to a voice's vocal quality, the range of the controls also allows the creation of vocal tract models
well beyond the limits of physical human anatomy, offering the possibility of vocal characteristics that are simply unattainable
by any other means.
DUO Evo Vocal Modeling Auto-Doubler
DUO Evo automatically generates a doubled vocal part from an existing vocal. In addition to allowing programmable variation
in pitch, timing, and vibrato depth, for even more realism, DUO Evo also includes a simplified version of THROAT Evo's vocal
modeling to provide timbral variation for the doubled part. DUO Evo's output section gives you independent control of the
level and stereo position of the original and doubled voices.
CHOIR Evo Vocal Multiplier
Neither a harmonizer nor a conventional chorus effect, CHOIR Evo is a unique processor that actually turns a single voice
into 4, 8, 16, or 32 distinct individual unison voices, each with its own pitch, timing, and vibrato variations. The voices
can, if desired, be spread across the stereo spectrum. Assign an instance of CHOIR Evo to each of four voices singing four-part
harmony and voil&aagrave;, instant choir.
PUNCH Evo Vocal Impact Enhancer
PUNCH Evo is a unique processor that, as its name implies, lets you quickly and easily give your vocal more dynamic impact,
allowing it to cut through a dense mix with clarity and power. Combining advanced dynamic processing with an incredibly easy-to-use
interface, PUNCH Evo gives professional results while letting you focus on your music.
SYBIL Evo Variable
Frequency De-Esser
SYBIL Evo tames vocal sibilance with threshold, ratio, attack, and decay controls as well as a variable sidechain high-pass
frequency to match any vocal performance.
Auto-Tune Evo
Hailed as a "holy grail of recording," by Recording magazine, Auto-Tune corrects intonation problems in vocals or
solo instruments, in real time, without distortion or artifacts, while preserving all of the expressive nuance of the original
performance with audio quality so pristine that the only difference between what goes in and what comes out is the intonation
— all with a user-interface that is a model of clarity, speed, and ease-of-use.
For most common pitch problems,
Auto-Tune Evo's Automatic Mode instantaneously detects the pitch of the input, identifies the closest pitch in a user-specified
scale (including minor, major, chromatic, and 26 historical and microtonal scales), and corrects the input pitch to match
the scale pitch. A Retune Speed control lets you match the retune rate to virtually any performance style.
For meticulous
tweaking, the Graphical Mode displays the performance's detected pitch envelope and allows you to specify the desired pitch
using a variety of graphics tools. This mode gives complete control over the correction or modification of the most elaborate
expressive gestures.
Antares Auto-Tune is used daily by thousands of audio professionals around the world. Whether
to save studio and editing time, ease the frustration of endless retakes, to save that otherwise once-in-a-lifetime performance,
or to create striking special effects, Auto-Tune Evo is an excellent choice.
General Features
Dramatically enhanced core technology: Evo Voice Processing Technology takes advantage of the power of today's computers to
provide powerful new features and enhanced tracking and correction capabilities.
Redesigned user interface: Continuing
the process begun with Auto-Tune 5, Antares has again refined the Auto-Tune user interface to allow for smoother, more intuitive
workflow.
Reorganized common controls: With the addition of the new pitch shifting, formant correction, and throat-modeling
capabilities, Antares has reorganized the common control area to ensure that all of the parameters used by both Automatic
and Graphical correction modes are easily available at all times.
Graphical Mode Features:
Resizable Graphical Mode window: In most hosts, Auto-Tune Evo's Graphical Mode window can be resized in real time, limited
only by the size of your monitor. In hosts that don't support realtime resizing, the window size can be set in the Options
dialog. In VST hosts, resizing is limited to a maximum size of 1600 x 1200 pixels — still not too shabby.
New
Note-based pitch correction and pitch-shifting: In addition to Lines and Curves, Auto-Tune Evo introduces an entirely new
method of pitch editing: Note Objects.
Clicking the Make Notes button causes Auto-Tune Evo to analyze the tracked
audio and create graphic representations of the target notes (which can be fine—tuned with the Number of Note Objects
control). These objects can then easily be edited, shifted in pitch, and individually pitch corrected or retuned. New Note
Objects can be drawn with the Notes Tool, and the transitions between Notes can easily be customized with the Curve Tool.
Object-based
Retune Speed settings: In one of Auto-Tune Evo's functionally most powerful changes, Retune Speed is now an independent property
of each individual correction object (Curve, Line, or Note). Since each object can have its own Retune Speed setting, you
will no longer need to automate Retune Speed to get the optimum rate for each note of a performance.
Customizable
object-based default Retune Speeds: Since you will typically use different pitch correction objects for different tasks (e.g.,
traditional pitch correction, pitch-shifting, T-Pain-style effects, etc.), you can streamline your workflow by setting your
own custom default Retune Speeds for each type of object (i.e., Curves, Lines, and Notes) in the Options dialog.
Realtime
display of output pitch: In addition to Auto-Tune's traditional Tracked Pitch, Line, and Curve plots, Auto-Tune Evo provides
a new Output Pitch plot that displays the exact output pitch based on the current Retune Speed. This plot updates in real
time as you adjust the Retune Speed, so there's never any doubt about the precise effect of each setting.
Comprehensive
programmable keyboard shortcuts: Auto-Tune Evo's Key Binding system lets you assigned virtually any Graphical Mode function
to each of the QWERTY number keys (i.e., the number keys across the top of your keyboard). No matter what your personal editing
workflow, you can ensure that your most used functions are always only a key press away.
Pitch Graph display mode:
The Lanes display mode is particularly useful when using Note Objects for pitch correction or pitch-shifting individual notes.
Graphical
Paste function: The Paste function displays a graphic representation of your copied data and lets you visually place it at
the desired destination before finalizing the Paste. It's perfect for copying Note Object-based edits to other parts of a
track.
Enhanced pitch displays: Auto-Tune Evo provides simultaneous displays of Tracked Pitch, Correction Object Pitch,
and the resulting Output Pitch at the current cursor location.
Nudge controls for pitch correction objects: To aid
precise editing, the Nudge controls let you move selected object(s) up or down in precise one pixel increments.
