A New, Streamlined User Interface Auto-Tune Pro features a sleek, all-new interface in both Auto Mode and Graph Mode, redesigned for ease of use and efficient workflow. Auto Mode now includes two unique screen views: Basic View which gives you quick and easy access to the core features of Auto Mode, and Advanced View which unlocks the powerful MIDI, scale editing and vibrato features. The Graph Mode interface has be redesigned from the ground up. In addition to a much larger Main Graph, the new Graph Mode features greater zoom resolution, user assignable zoom presets, and controls reconfigured to optimize workflow efficiency. Classic Mode Classic Mode is the much-requested return of the celebrated “Auto-Tune 5 sound.” As we’ve added new features to Auto-Tune (such as Formant Correction, Throat Modeling, and Flex-Tune) the Auto-Tune algorithm has evolved, and its sonic qualities have undergone subtle changes, with each Auto-Tune version having its own slightly different character. Over the years, the sound of Auto-Tune 5 has developed something of a cult following among musicians, audio engineers and producers, perhaps due in part to its use on many iconic pop recordings. Due to popular demand, we’ve made the Auto-Tune 5 sound available in Auto-Tune Pro via the new Classic Mode. Auto-Key: Automatic Key and Scale Detection Auto-Key is a brand new plug-in, included with your Auto-Tune Pro purchase, which automatically detects the key and scale of your music and sends that information to one or more instances of Auto-Tune Pro. If you already know the key and scale of your tracks, you may also find Auto-Key useful for simultaneously setting the Key and Scale parameters of multiple instances of Auto-Tune Pro from a single location. ARA: Audio Random Access Auto-Tune Pro now supports ARA (Audio Random Access) in the Studio One DAW. ARA is a technology that allows for closer integration and exchange of information between audio plugins and host applications (digital audio workstations). When used with Studio One, it’s now possible to edit in Auto-Tune Pro’s Graph Mode without first having to play audio into Auto-Tune in real time. MIDI Parameter Control Many of Auto-Tune Pro’s key parameters can now be controlled in real time with a MIDI controller, including Retune Speed, Flex-Tune, Humanize, Throat Length and all of the Vibrato functions. Assign the parameters to the controls on your MIDI device, and perform dramatic effects in real time on stage or in the studio.

The original convolution reverb Altiverb is a plug-in that makes your audio sound as if it was played back somewhere else, adding the acoustics of existing spaces to your own recordings or to your live audio. All spaces in Altiverb were recorded in the real world, from Sydney Opera House to a Scottish underground oil tank the size of a cathedral. Features Apart from the extensive library of impulse responses you get with this plug-in, Altiverb features some clever controls for shaping the sound of this convolution reverb. Decay This essential reverb parameter is very prominent in Altiverb 8. You can apply an exponential decay on any impulse response to reduce the reverb time, without changing the character of the room. Brightness Real spaces often contain less high frequency content than algorithmic (synthetic) reverbs. Sometimes you need that extra sparkling brightness in a reverb tail that is just hard to obtain from the real world. Damping Control the reverb length of three separate and adjustable frequency bands. Shortening is damping, lengthening is enhancing. You can see the effect of damping in the waterfall graph of the impulse response. Stage positions Altiverb can have mono or stereo inputs. When making impulse responses, we used either one speaker position in the center of the stage for mono input, or two speaker positions for stereo input. So there is a direct relation between the amount of inputs and the speakers used. Using the positioner tab, available only in mono and stereo input Altiverbs, you can switch on the speaker, in which case you can hear where it stands. You can also, right there, move the speaker around. Equalizer Altiverb features a four band equalizer. The bass and treble bands are Baxandall EQs, designed to not shift phase more than 180 degrees, which effectively means that combing or cancellation effects are unlikely when the EQ’d signal is mixed with the dry signal. The equalizer works on the wet signal only. Size Makes the selected room (impulse response) smaller or larger. This transposes room modes and resonances, tightens or spreads early reflections, and shortens or lengthens the reverb tail. Pre-delay Delays the onset of the reverb. If the note symbol is clicked, the timing of the delay is locked to the tempo of the host application so you can select an eighth-note as the delay time. Attack Fades-in the start of the impulse response, resulting in a more lush, distant reverb sound. Reverse The entire impulse response is reversed in time for backward reverb effects. Modulation This effect does not emulate anything that happens in reality, it emulates something that happens in artificial reverb algorithms. Gated Reverb Allows you to abruptly cut-off a reverb after a set amount of time. The gate time can also be locked to the tempo of the host application. Snapshots Snapshots are presets that are private to an instance of Altiverb. WHAT IS NEW IN ALTIVERB 8 Native Apple silicon M1 / M2 & Intel macs are fully supported. New scalable user interface (except AU version) Cloud size Automatic input-pan following reverb, locate each reverb around the panning of the source, even when multiple sources move in a single instance. Smooth and clickless IR switches, reverb adjustments and stage position changes all practically seemless without any clicks. Improved IR searching The newly designed browser offers more and quicker ways to find the right IR. New IR Tool This tool enables you to create your own IRs, with output support up to 9.1.6 channels. Computer activation The Altiverb license can be activated on a computer or on a USB iLok key. The iLok USB key is NO LONGER required. VST3 Plug-In To ensure compatibility with worldclass VST host applications (DAWs) like Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo and Digital Performer Altiverb 8 features a VST3 plug-in. Center Almost all IRs have been supplied with a real center channel for LCR or 5.0 7.0 without center bleed. New Spaces many new spaces are included with Altiverb 8, like the Zuidervermaning from the intro video, a dance club, some industrial spaces, a Tesla, camper vans , atmos plates and springs reverbs, and a selection of buckets and bins including a porta toilet. All including atmos. improved loading speed. Your sessions with many Altiverbs will load quicker than ever. WHAT IS NOT NEW IN 8 Wait? What?This is what Altiverb 8 continues to deliver, just like Altiverb 7 (and earlier) has been delivering for two decades: Backward compatibility, Altiverb 8 opens in sessions/projects that were made with Altiverb since 2006 and the session/project will sound the same. All IRs ever released for Altiverb. New IRs will be added regularly, for free. Fixes and support without yearly fees. The option to sell and transfer your license. Countless ways of manipulating the reverb sound with controls like reverb time, attack, brightness, pre delay, EQ, damping..

Cloud Size and Pan Tracking Reverb - from LCR up to 9.1.6 input Altiverbs Altiverb XL supports more than two inputs. With more then two inputs there is no longer a direct relation between an input and a speaker that was used when making the impulse response. Therefore the Positioner tab is unavailable. Instead there is a new control: cloud size. With cloud size turned down, the reverb no longer outputs to all output channels, it starts clustering around the input pan position of your sounds. Even when the input sound moves, the reverb cloud travels along with it. Attack Fades-in the start of the impulse response, resulting in a more lush, distant reverb sound.
