Very helpful. You just did in 6 minutes what reading the whole manual 5 times couldn't do. As someone who works on live recording this tool is invaluable. The singers get one shot at it so we need to help them out after the fact. Even the best singers can have off nights. Thanks.
Thank you SO MUCH for this excellent tutorial. Thank you for NOT wasting time in the beginning to tell us what you're gonna tell us like a lot of videos laboriously tend to do!!! Thanks for getting to it right away in a concise and clear manner!
Well, in defense of a good presentation, it’s always recommended to lay out: 1. what we’re about to cover, 2. then cover it, 3. and then review what we covered. That’s like classroom presentation 101 The problem of course is when people say “uuhhh“ 50 times, make jokes, tell their life story.., in that I totally agree with you
I'm the Imaging Director of an Alternative station up in Canada and I make a lot of parody bits for the jocks here that involve me singing... albeit slightly off key sometimes haha. I've been searching for an answer on how to correct it in pro tools itself, and I didn't discover it till watching your video today!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! -A fellow Prod nerd
You can automate the plug-in by adding the master bypass (or any parameter) to the automation lane. I sometimes create a new track without the plug-in, separate all the regions I don't want auto-tuned, and move them to the new track. If you use Pro Tools, hold control (Mac) while using the grabber tool to move it to the new track, it will prevent the region from shifting.
Me too. Mainly because every pitch correction plugin create a subtle but noticeable "metallic" texture to vocals (it's very subtle but you can clearly hear it with headphones), so if there are just some few parts that need to be corrected you don't mess the texture of the other parts.
Thanks for the tutorial - very informative! quick question - have been working on a vox track; waves tune 'scanned' the audio from which I worked on near to completion - tho I noticed it had scanned and tried to pitch a couple unwanted knocks and vibrations of mic stand because I had forgotten to switch the gate on that track before using waves tune. After I had switched the gate on - is there any way of waves tune re-scanning a certain section so that I dont have to redo everything?Thanks,Paul
It's easy! You just press a few buttons and the computer does all the work for you. I don't get why these producers charge so much money for their "time"... 😉
Great plugin but it sucks that the screen can't be resized for better overview and editing. Not gonna update this, because of that I moving to another tune plugin that can
i have os x, logic pro x. i can not control where to start, stop, pause via wave tunes screen, i can get back or forward via logic pro x´s screen, it is annoying. how can you start, stop, play from wave tune´s screen? moreover, on logic pro x, if i press space, it goes to a point very silly instead of functioning pause ability
Question: what can I do if a vocal isn’t falling within an exact scale? I’m having a dickens of a time with a current track. The vocal essentially follows an Ab7 chord. I tried chromatic. It’s really wonky. I am “hearing” the correct note (B), but visually in the screen it’s showing it as a G? If I move the notes to the B they are way too high in pitch. Do you have any suggestions?
What if I am using Garage Band with waves tune?? I am having the problem of my edits not staying on after I close the program and turn it back on, does it have to do with this rewire plug in?
Cody...did you download the rtas version? also maybe try downloading waves tune again from the waves 9 program on their site...another possibility is that you downloaded the wrong version...there's waves tune and there's a lite version of it...I would check your license and make sure you bought/downloaded the right version...any of those will probably be the reason you aren't seeing it
Hey Michael, I have a question, I am using Waves Tune wuth Sonar X1 basically I added the re wire track, and installed the waves tune plug in. I try to scan the vocal and it does nothing. What am I doing wrong?
And how would I perform the very first step in Ableton live? I've got Ableton live 9 and it doesn't work the same way with aux tracks and the rewire plugin. Please help.
Hi, when I click on the note in the piano I don't get the sound of the note so it's very difficult to use, I have to do it with a guitar on my lap. I am using LOGIC PRO X...any ideas on what might be the problem? Thanx
Do you have any suggestions if you can't get it to rewire? working with a session that already had wavetunes on it but i wanted to add vocals to that track and it's not reading the new ones. Thank you! This was very informative btw!
I recently bought Waves Tune. I authorized the license and everything, and had everything downloaded. I can insert Re-Wire on a track now, but Waves Tune is no where to be found. Any ideas why pro tools isn't seeing the plugin? I am running Pro Tools 10.
I used WavesTune and perfected the first chorus in my song. However, I can’t seem to find any way to duplicate the same vocal take with the same changes over to the second chorus. Nothing I try is working besides committing the perfected take and copying it over, but then I can’t make any changes to it. A Google search reveals many people with this same problem, but no answers anywhere. Please help!
Hello! thank you for the video! What if you only want to correct a little section of the track? it always scan the whole track but i only want to use it in one section.
HELP! at 3:49 on your video you select the timeline cursor for playback and it works fine. USUALLY this works the same for me, but for some reason If I select the cursor on the WT timeline and hit play, it will jump ahead and begin playback at another location. yes I have rewire - I use WT all the time, but cannot figure this out - thank you for your help!

I always endup having weird timing issues with the pluggin as in after spending hours fixing the entire scanned track, it becomes wrong again. I though that maybe I accidentally nugded the track left or right causing it to put the correction at wrong places. Is there a way to lock the timing of the correction to always match the track so that it doesnt happen? Or am I just missing something and not doing this propely ? Thanks for the help.
Idk man, I love waves, but antares suits me fine. It does subtle edits and hardtune effects, and I can do some serious editing just like this on the midi mode as well. I messed with waves tune, melodyne ( which seems suspiciously similar to wavestune) factory pitch correction plugins from mixcraft, fl studio, cubase, and logic pro 9, and I still say Antares just does it right. I get such a headache dealing with that tiny little screen. Can you guys somehow copy the macros from the DAW into it?
Hi, What do you suggest if you're following along, but the waves tune plugging isn't showing up on your list? I've tried restarting my computer after installing waves tune. And I've added the rewire prior to looking for it, as you did. But it's not showing up. There's no pitch shift category on mine.
Hi @Lindsay Adamson, please make sure that you're loading Waves Tune on an audio track and not an aux track. If the issue still persists, please contact our tech support department directly as they are open 7 days a week and will be more than glad to assist: www.waves.com/contact-us
I keep having delay even after I did added the aux track for rewire plugin, It keeps moving the tempo of the notes making them sound after the beat. :(
I like this plugin - I use in Logic. But I have random problem with "reference tone", because very often I can't hear it (it is muted) - Is any way to bring it up when it is muted?
How do you just spot check specific notes? I want to keep most of the vocals untouched, but just zero in on a few notes. Is there a way to do this within the plugin? Outside, I guess I could automating the plugin out for the spots other than the ones I want to tweak, but, ehhhh....
Hi. Now I've got the full version of waves tune, i still get the same problem as lite? It misses out some sections that have audio in, first time round too?
This is a great plugin, but the hassle to get it going is time consuming, first you have to rewire it to an Aux..... then you have to compensate for its latency that it gives which is 3072 samples at 44.1 or 48 kHz and 6144 samples at 88.2 or 96 kHz. but all altogether... its up to you if you wanna hop ship from melodyne or Autotune... Its really the question of how precise can these plugins fix your pitch..and how fast can they get it done. then make your decision from there.
I'm getting clicks, pops, and a distorted sound that isn't part of the original. Is there a way to just bypass a small section? It's always just one note for me, and I'm baffled as to why.
@@totigerus I was just about to buy it with it being on promotion at $35 and also that it comes with a few more features and tool options than the Melodyne 5 Essential (Which I have already), but I just cannot see any way to expand its tiny display window to a larger size and I actually started getting headaches when zooming in just to only see a small section of the audio file to work with. What a shame, if I really need those extra features I am going have to cough up the money and pay 5x the price for the Melodyne Assistant upgrade.
I gave in. For what it has to offer with its extra features at only $35 compared to Celemony Melodyne 5 Assistant at 10x the price, how could I say no to it. I spent the last couple of hours after reading a few key points in its manual on how to navigate it with zooming in and out, auto scanning, etc. With a bit more patience this time I could zoom in and out fairly quickly (ctrl/alt+left click) and found it easier enough to adapt to now. And as usual I can never turn down their extra bundle offers along with it. LOL Some more plugins thrown into the box, I am going to have to go to a plugin rehab one day.
i struggle with the grid and cues !!! my plug in would never start from where it stopped ... to do so i have to constantly switch from the plug in to the timeline !!! i'm pretty sure i'm missing something with the settings but can't find where it is !! the bar is following when it's not playing but automatically comes back to the previous cue as soon as it's playing which is huge loss of time !! any tips please ?

"all you have to do is scan the track" does anyone know how to scan the track? I've watched this over and over and can't see how it's done?? no scan button i cant follow his mouse it's just disappears and he's scanning? thanks for any help,,,,it scans when playing i see but does it scan automatic? as his appears to do or is it all real time?

Technology is insane. I just got into the world of mixing and editing and this was amazing to watch. Thanks!
Waves Tune works well with Digital Performer's built in tuning feature. MOTU did a good job of implementing their tuning feature.
Great tutorial for a great plug in! I am actually using this plug in for a solo cello performance and it works just as well.
The best Waves Tune tutorial. Bravo.
Felt like 2 minutes past bye
I'm about to get this plugin! 😀 So seeing there's a tutorial for it really helps... Cheers! 👍
Great and best presentation/demonstration in youtube!!!!!
Thank you! This tut helped me immensely this evening!
This was so helpful. Right to the point. Appreciate it
Dat face at the end when he knows he's created something great 😂
Great simple video, thank you!
haha I was laughin at the same facial expression , like a child being proud and happy of what he made
Great vid. I'll be using this plug in from now on!
Most useful video on the subject! Very instructive.

That vibrato placement makes me wanna buy this 😂 I’m learning to sing with vibrato and this is really good to experiment.
Great tutorial. Thank You!
Where do I find the other 2nd video you mentioned?
this one was very helpful thanks!
Great stuff I just upgraded from LT, can’t wait to play lol

It's easy! You just press a few buttons and the computer does all the work for you. I don't get why these producers charge so much money for their "time"... 😉
Brilliant tutorial thanks!
great tute mate. cheers!
I love your account pic.Simple yet creative.
Thank you so much for this!
I always used a stereo aux with Waves Rewire...does it make a difference by using a mono aux? Good video! Thanks!
Great vid - very helpful
Such a great video.
Good stuff Michael.
Hi - great video. Where is the link to the 2nd in the series which he mentions from .24 seconds onwards?
Yeah, me too !!!! Perhaps it’s still “driving away”.
Nice and to the point!
Great video!
super helpful! thank you!!!!
Great plugin but it sucks that the screen can't be resized for better overview and editing. Not gonna update this, because of that I moving to another tune plugin that can
i have os x, logic pro x. i can not control where to start, stop, pause via wave tunes screen, i can get back or forward via logic pro x´s screen, it is annoying. how can you start, stop, play from wave tune´s screen?
moreover, on logic pro x, if i press space, it goes to a point very silly instead of functioning pause ability
After watching this, I'm glad Ive got Cubase Variaudio!
The key is too not only scan the track but, to make a square with the cursor select the area and then adjust the correction and transition knob
thanks mate, helped me a lot! :)
i like the ending , :D he look very happy
Do you print it to the track, or just leave it on? I've noticed a bit of weird latency when using waves tune.

thnk u Tito ortiz...
Excellent thanks
good guy, good tips.
And how would I perform the very first step in Ableton live? I've got Ableton live 9 and it doesn't work the same way with aux tracks and the rewire plugin. Please help.

Do you have any suggestions if you can't get it to rewire? working with a session that already had wavetunes on it but i wanted to add vocals to that track and it's not reading the new ones. Thank you! This was very informative btw!
SHARI by chance is thete a way to do this without rewire because my homies protools dosent have it
Should be good to go with an AUX track. Make sure it's routed properly. I had the same issue
Can you just select all put correction at 0% and do correction only to specific notes if the singer is pretty accurate already?
I recently bought Waves Tune. I authorized the license and everything, and had everything downloaded. I can insert Re-Wire on a track now, but Waves Tune is no where to be found. Any ideas why pro tools isn't seeing the plugin? I am running Pro Tools 10.
Great tutorial.. question: how do you zoom out? I don't see it in the manual (or else i skipped over it and didn't see it)
Bottom right side you have all of the view related things - zoom in out etc for horizontal or vertical.

Automate it, so that Waves Tune is on Bypass when you don't want it active

is it that much different if you use Logic Studio instead of Pro tools?

I'm using Logic Pro9 how can I get the plugin to play the midi notes from my keyboard controller?
Do you know how to get Waves Tune working in Adobe Audtion 3.0? I enabled ReWire but I don't know where to go from there :/
are the edits made in Waves Tune automatically saved or do you have to click save or apply somewhere?
Auto saved !! But I often “commit” the track (aka record it to another audio track) so that I’m not using any CPU.
I keep having delay even after I did added the aux track for rewire plugin, It keeps moving the tempo of the notes making them sound after the beat. :(
Why is the point of adding Rewire? Thanks

Good One
Do you have latency on waves tune and if you have it how to solve the problem about it?
does this work with protools and logic pro?
This is a great plugin, but the hassle to get it going is time consuming, first you have to rewire it to an Aux..... then you have to compensate for its latency that it gives which is 3072 samples at 44.1 or 48 kHz and 6144 samples at 88.2 or 96 kHz. but all altogether... its up to you if you wanna hop ship from melodyne or Autotune...

There is no time edit ? Just pitch or I cant do that?
and the rewire track ii´s for?
Is there a way to make tune go full screen as the box seems just a bit too small.
I wish

why is the green line (correction) different from the orange line before you even make any changes?
