Auto-Tune has been around for decades now and is a game changing production tool. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay.
But HOW you use it can make or break your vocal tracks.
Most people want to use Autotune in a natural, discrete manner so that the listener never knows that there was any pitch correction. This tutorial will show you how to do that.
At the end of the video I'll also show you how to get that obvious T-Pain or Cher AutoTune effect - in case you want to go in that direction!

Good looks on this video dude. I produce, write, rap, and sing my own music. But now I'm getting more into the habit of mixing and editing my songs as well. Audio engineers don't get enough credit, folk🤘🏼

Amen Bro.

Everyone says that autotune is "cheating," but it's just another tool to enhance the mix, like EQ or compression.
I totally agree, I was watching a movie last night and that song “the blowers daughter“ came on. It’s a beautiful tune, vocals are very expressive, but there’s one part where he’s just really flat.
It wouldn’t hurt anybody for them to just bump that up slightly so that we noticed the expression not the out of tune note.
Like you said, just another tool in our box
Yep for example all artist like Charlie Puth, Brendon Urie, Billie Eillish, Sub Urban, etc..... Use it to make effects on their voice whether to make it sound creepy, clean, airy , etc.....
Autotune is an instrument I lvoe it.
Jude Alex Travis Scott is my inspiration tbh, he works heavy autotune like it’s an instrument and he does it perfectly
yea yea but u should always remember how wonderful and talented singers had to be back in the good old days without this tool
Could you do a vidoe on melodyn stYle of pitch corrections for when you have to work with terrible vocals haha
Check his channel, there is already one on there.
Can you use text correction?
I love that you didn't shy away from praising God while sharing your talent. Big ups bro; all for HIS glory.
THANK YOU, LORD FOR SAVING MY SOUL.
This works very well on classic major or minor keys. But when you're singing blues or rock, where you're doing a lot of sliding in or tightening notes, it's not so simple. It starts to correct stuff it thinks is wrong, but was actually intended to be that way. I've found that in that kind of situation, you almost have to do it manually on a note-by-note basis. Very time-consuming, to say the least, but it gets better results.
blues souns better with no autotune anyway. Having things very natural, I find, is when i enjoy it most
For things like blues or rock, I'd recommend Melodyne instead. Gives you more of that control and humanism that you're looking for without sacrificing the vocal tuning
Thanks for a brilliant video, to educate me , a 67 year old idiot who does like to play guitar and sing, both very badly might I add, is a feat in itself but I understand much more , I will now look at all your videos , big thanks from Garry in the UK
Hi Graham, I love when you & your friend Joe Gilder do these "short" & to the point videos. They have really helped my mixes... now I have more time to get back to recording!
Sorry, but the not autotuned "flat" version sounds way BETTER. Reason: the slight deviation makes it human and gives emotion. The autotuned version sounds empty and mechanical, robotic.
That reverb delay combo on the vocal is super nice
Thankyou so much. But now I want to know where that song is... I love that song.
Really? A song about Jesus? That’s what gets you excited? Those are the songs you just truly gotta go find huh
@@scka6190 Why don't you just fuck off
@@scka6190 if thats makes you an athiest being a bad guy , i dont like to be an atheist or satanist 🤮
Spots a 25 cents flat note.
Keeps going several passes with ridiculous autotune setting.
Then leave?
Thank you for the great lesson. Nice song BTW.
your song is very beautiful ... what is the title of your song?
That's a good learning tool to use. U can see exactly where you're flat or sharp.
Especially if u don't have a good ear
I have a passion for classic rock and love playing them on my electric guitar but my voice sucks so I need auto tune
I find that for my own stuff the most important aspect of using autotune (as a fix, not as an "effect") is to automate when to turn it on or off, and to automate the depth (amount) and/or the wet-dry mix. Most importantly, any places where a syllable is meant to be a gradient from one note to another, autotune must off. Assuming you don't want that "staircase" sound.
Typically I will have just one or two notes that need strong autotune, such as a long held vowel ("seeeeeee...") that had an unfortunate drift in the take. Here I might go 80%/20% wet/dry, or (rarely) 100% wet. And I wouldn't have the entire word be strongly autotuned, but rather automate from a starting level of 20% or less wet before the word starts, then slope it up over ~200ms to max wet just after the consonant has finished and the long vowel gets going. I experiment until the transition cannot be noticed, and the effect is doing all good, no harm.
Elsewhere the singing will have no autotune. Or depending on the song a light amount (20% wet) mixed in throughout, which, I discovered accidentally, can bring some depth and richness to a vocal, kind of like adding a better version of yourself as a backing vocalist. :-)
When in doubt though, I leave it off. A little bit of tonal inaccuracy is human and is part of the vocal character. And anymore I will record 12+ takes of the same vocal, to end up with one or two takes of each phrase or word that isn't noticeably flawed.
@mesamarshall Yes you are right, less than 100% wet/dry creates a messy chorus effect, including phasing, not a clean sound. And if there is noticeable beating, that's ugly. Wet 20% has worked for me at times as an effect for an entire vocal, but like everything it is a matter of taste. ... For some reason 100% autotune always sounds weird and unusable to me.
I mostly use autotune to record other takes to. By that I mean I'll have a sort of scratch track, put autotune on it. Then record other takes on top of that without autotune. Kind of like drumming to a click, but with singing
Thanks so much for your help! How would you find the right key if you don't know exactly which key the vocals are in?
Use Autokey plugin
I did not expect the Christian song lmao
Hey there Graham. Nice vocals. I wasn't aware you were a religious guy. Right on. Do you (as an artist) focus mainly on the praise stuff, or do you make regular/secular stuff as well? You seem like a rock guy to me.
I do both
Hey Graham, I like your videos better than most because you explain things better and I love your music you share. I am very old school at the old type of recording and very new to all the new digital stuff. If I have a inter face can I use auto tune pro with it, or is auto tune all I need for a great recording. Thanks for your help. God Bless Terry
Man Graham auto-tuned his voice especially for this video too LOL 1:55
lool I just heard that
Great Tutorial, and I also Love the song, are you singing it (Your Voice)? because it sounds pretty good.
what is the name of that song??
You know, i've always thought that Auto-tune is just another way for people with no gifting to sing, to get in the music business as a "singer". Unfortunately a lot of times, it's true 😕. Great walk through though man. Good job.
What's that song bro?
What are the odds that I’m bout to make a song for Jesus and your song happens to be about Jesus , SIGNS BRUH!
I love it! I am a gospel recording artist. Hot 🔥 🎵 song. I'm working on a gospel song now. Amen ❤😇🤩🥰
Auto-Tune For Natural Pitch Correction is cool but as a sound effect like rappers do is terrible.
Hey! Thnx! What would yku overall recommend for vocal tuning autotune or melodyne? Mostly for pop songs
Still making music, we miss you here on recordingrevolution!
That header is a contradiction in terms, isn't it? Auto-Tune for natural pitch correction? Say what??!!! Might as well have included references to jumbo shrimp, civil war, and deafening silence.
where can i get this song? or album?
Hallelujah brother I can’t wait for that day when I will kiss his feet!
Can I ask you which plug-ins you suggest for a female vocal using Apollo twin UA?
Why are there comment from 7 hours ago when it was uploaded less than one hour ago
Graham! The Radio Ready Guide Site doesn‘t work!! The Website isn‘t loading.
The song was really nice I really liked it
In his name we play! God put us here to make music, make love, smoke weed, and fuck around with bullshit. He is the light! He is tight! Let his love wash the fuck over you. #harambe
Hey, thanks for the helpful content in these videos and love how you have the courage to use your worship songs for these videos.
The song was great! Where can we find the full song?
For what is this Key? I dont understand. If someone sing, there are many key-changes, means pitch in the voice. What does this 1 Key means?
I'm getting clicks and pops how do I fix that?
this is exactly what i was looking for i prefer auto tune efx 2 or 3 those were SOOO easy to use unfortunately theyre discontinued and i havent been able to find a product page to buy it or anything if that wasnt enough i think you need iLok for it anyway RIP
imprintaftah they replaced it with a new one called auto tune efx+ it’s also very simple to use and has a lot of cool effects
This may sound dumb, but how are you able to tell the key of the song?
Sounds similar to Toby Turner haha
who can I hire to do this for me? need help asap. or a very good tutorial. thank you brotherS!
hey Graham wow you are so cool with your music and tips and advice! you should release that song i love it!! Where can i listen to it?!
Thank you so much for detailed information. I mostly record worship songs in Acoustic guitar and vocal. But sometimes i sing flat which sounds awful. I have never use Autotune but i will try to use this time.
If you can tell the difference that well, how did you sing flat in the first place? :D
what software?
What software is it? My singing voice is not manly and like to sing country music songs.
The guide is incredible Graham ! Greatly appreciated ! Keep it up :)
thanx again ...
Thank you about to get this certification in the next few weeks!
Link doesn't work. Where can I find the 6 step guide?
I got a cheap version of the real autotune and it comes with all for $15 no scam i promise and i got proof💯 it has efx artist and pro
What mic do you use!?
I don't think I can ever thank you enough.
Hey I wanted to ask, is autotune native to your DAW
i don’t even hear a difference
Right, his 👂 for notes is incredible.
What song is this?
totally random question dude, how do you distribute your music? I mean as a Christian artist, is distrokid okay to use? Does Chiristian music get distributed as much?
Is there any difference in the way the algorithm addresses the vocal if its set to G Major vs E Minor for example since they're the same notes the scale?
what daw/app are you using
i am not 100% sure but it looks like protools or ableton
Great song! What version of Autotune are you using? Just want the basic correction... Not weird effects. Thank you for this video.
Will it sound better to pitch correct and then use autotune
People have a very bad misconception on autotune.
That it is just making any bad singer sound good, and yes if you want your song to sound extremely robotic and fake, but using autotune professionally takes time, and practice. You can't just download your cracked version of Anatares Autotune and think you'll be famous.
How do you "add a note" to customize the scale?
Where do you put autotune in the mix chain ? After or before EQ, comp ect...
Always the first plugin
Thank you.
Praise God.
RIP off. It shouldn't be more than $100.
Its because famous singers use it...
I love your voice! God bless you!

Alternate title: how to be travis scott
he already a good singer..some people cant sing at all yea they need melodyne
Thanks
This is the second tut I'm watching from your channel. Thanks for the heart of sharing.
How would your vocal chain look like? I use Logic Pro X .. God bless you
Is there a version for pro tools 12?
ok
What app did you use to record
7:45 this man spittin 🗣️
Tf is this schizo song 💀
What is the quick key to turn off all plugins?
There's a few different ways to interpret this question. All plugins on one track? All tracks? Only selected tracks? Well, I'll go ahead and try to answer all 3.
Control-Click (Mac) or Start-Click (Win) an insert to bypass the clicked insert and all inserts afterwards one only one single track.
Control+Option-click (Mac) or Start+Alt-Click (Win) to bypass the insert and all inserts afterwards on ALL tracks.
Start+Alt+Shift-Click (for Win, I don't remember the Mac equivalent, but it's probably Shift+Control+Option-Click) to bypass the insert and all inserts afterwards on ALL SELECTED tracks.
These shortcuts (along with alt-clicking to return something to default value) are the reason I bought a "Gaming" mouse to mix on. I have my extra buttons assigned to Control, Alt, Shift, and Start, so that I can with just one hand
this might be a dumb question but what does the natural vibrato knob do????
I think it’s great you playing Christian music as the track 👍
Excellent! I’m getting auto-tune because of your video.
Awesome man. And I love that song. Praise God!
Name song?
can you please tell us what software your using in this video.
Or you could just re-record the section lol. I can see doing it for maybe one or two notes but not the whole track. Also sometimes not being perfect actually makes the song perfect. Think of a song where the singer is desperately singing about how much pain he's in because his girl left him and now he's pleading for her to come back to him. You would actually want those imperfections in there because that is what creates emotional songs, not Autotune. You seriously would Not want to perfect pitched the vocals like that because it will kill the whole vibe the song is trying to convey. But then again this is what's lacking in todays mainstream pop music, any real emotions in the songs. So never over Autotune it lol.
Cheating.
Is he saying "hey, friend" or is he referring to himself as "Friend Graham"
thank u🧡
I sure would love to learn from you! Man thanks for this!
daaaat caaaarm
can we use it for Indian instrument like bansauri flute and sitar and Veena too
I enjoyed your video. I've watched a few that were very long-winded. Your video was very easy to understand and follow for pitch correction. Thanks!
Very nice.
Excellent work! Five stars!
