In my first test, I put Waves Tune to work on a female singer who has extraordinary pitch control to see if I could improve on her ability. You could also rely on Waves Tune to report its latency to automatic delay compensation in the host program. As a workaround, I found it good practice to copy the track to be tuned, scan it and then offset to match the original.
The software has a latency of 3,072 samples at 44.1- and 48kHz, and 6,144 samples at 88.2- or 96kHz sample rates. Its memory is capable of holding up to 10 minutes of audio.
I installed the Vocal Bundle into a Mac G5 Quad Core with 4.5 GB of RAM running Pro Tools 7.1cs4 on an HD3 PCIe system.īefore any correction can occur, Waves Tune must scan the audio file. Waves Tune's large interface (via ReWire) lets you operate the host's transport controls and set loop start/stop points any place from within the plug-in there is no need to refer to another program or screen. Hosts that support Waves Tune include Pro Tools TDM or LE (Versions 6.9 and 7), Cubase SX 3.1, Nuendo 3.1, Digital Performer 4.6 and Logic 7.1. Waves Tune runs as a ReWire client on PCs under Windows XP and Macs running OS 10.3 and above. Formants are extremely important for keeping pitch-shifted vocals sounding natural. It does all this while preserving formants, the groups of frequencies that characterize vowel sounds. One of five plug-in processors in the new Waves Vocal Bundle (which also includes DeBreath, an automatic vocal inhalation/exhalation controller, Renaissance DeEsser, Renaissance Channel Strip and Waves Doubler), Waves Tune corrects the pitch of monophonic sources, smooths note transitions, and allows for detecting and editing natural vibratos.
