Antares Launches AutoTune Advanced Plugin

On September 24, Antares Audio Technologies launched AutoTune Advanced, a real-time vocal tuning plugin positioned as the flagship of its automatic pitch-correction lineup. The plugin operates on a rebuilt AutoTune algorithm and serves as the top edition in a three-edition range that also includes AutoTune Pro 11 and AutoTune. While AutoTune Pro 11 provides Graph Mode for manual vocal editing and harmony generation, AutoTune Advanced includes an updated Formant Designer, a custom scale workflow, a 78-note Visual Keyboard, and MIDI Perform.

AutoTune Advanced introduces DVA, a feature that detects a singer's vibrato and leaves it uncorrected. DVA is paired with a real-time visualizer that displays the detected vibrato. When a performance has no vibrato, a new Vibrato FX section can generate vibrato using four wave types.

A live monitoring mode keeps plugin latency under 1 ms across supported sample rates ranging from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz. The launch announcement cites a latency figure of 0.84 ms at 44.1 kHz without specifying the host or buffer size. AutoTune Advanced is available as a perpetual license or through AutoTune Unlimited at no extra cost for current subscribers, and it runs as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin on macOS and Windows.
