As we have seen in the Features section, Auto-Tune EFX+ is now not just about tuning but wilder effects.

A number of other dials allow easy editing of the Note Transition and Speed, and these determine the 'robotic-ness' of the effect which can be increased if they are at a minimum.Īuto-Tune EFX+'s UI is more space age, imparting the excitement of the various effects you can apply to your vocals which are shown at the bottom. Editing is easy and you can zoom in on notes for microtuning and note shifting. It appears within the window as notes across the keyboard (top to bottom). Next to the sleeker, colourful and more modern interface of Auto-Tune EFX+, it is a very different proposition, dominated by a central window that shows the vocal (or other audio) being processed.

Waves Tune is perhaps starting to show its age as it first appeared in 2006. Waves Tune and Antares Auto-Tune EFX+ certainly feature very different interface designs. Waves Tune adds a more human element by way of its detailed editing, but Auto-Tune EFX+ gives you a Humanize dial and while you don't get the detail, you get loads of added extra effects. Winner: Antares Auto-Tune EFX+īoth plugins can produce the synthetic vocal effect we all know and love. To top it off you get an X-Y pad to control parameters and an Auto-Motion pattern generator to give you extra melodic movement in an instant.

None of them are human in a Waves Tune way, but they are all exciting, although some might not be that useful in some mix situations. As you load in one of its many presets you'll discover various effects (shown in a block of four) that combine to produce dramatic pitch, filter, amp, vocoder and mutating vocal effects.

It's the sheer number of other effects that are the standout feature of EFX+ and these tip the 'Features' balance in its favour. However it does offer banks of other effects on top of that Auto-Tune effect and you can keep the humanity in there by switching the Auto-Tune option off or dialling back the Retune Speed. This not only allows you to make pitch changes on individual phrases, for example, but to keep the human feel of the original recording.Īntares Auto-Tune EFX+ doesn't give you these features in such a visual way, nor is it about this kind of detail. You can get the software to do this for you according to various settings (song pitch, formant, vibrato and so on), or you get the opportunity to go in and make the edits yourself, even note by note if you wish. Waves Tune is more about seeing the notes on screen and making major or minor adjustments.
