Tune Vs Autotune - Waves Real Time

Waves Tune Real-Time is often described as "smoother" and "creamier" than Auto-Tune. While it can certainly achieve the hard-tuning effect, its default algorithms tend to glide into pitch correction rather than snapping abruptly. It excels at transparent correction where the listener shouldn't know processing is happening.

RTT has a piano roll that is playable but not editable. It shows you what note you are hitting in real-time. You can set a Scale (C Major, D Minor) and a Root note, and RTT snaps to that grid. waves real time tune vs autotune

The pitch slides from note to note with a smooth, almost synthesized curve. It has weight. Winner: Antares for production; Waves for recording
