Here, you get an emulation of an analog polysynth, and then a number of unique tools specific to this offering. But here’s what they’re promising.Īny vocoder is a combination of synth and vocal input, by default. I need to test this, so disclaimer – this isn’t a review. The result is a vocoder that looks promising in the studio and onstage. The new Vocoder comes from Softube, those Swedish masters of emulation, who have made themselves a big name both as a provider to UA and as an independent vendor (including with their own native platform, though it doesn’t provide the same real-time possibilities). Lots of vocalists perform with laptops for greater flexibility, and the UA vocoder has real-time MIDI and keyboard control. But I imagine this vocoder may find its way onstage. Interesting, UA are so locked in the studio paradigm that they say you’ll want to “track” through the vocoder – record while monitoring. But a vocoder is an entirely different story, so I suspect that the new vocoder included in this month’s UA update will matter to a lot of people. This is meaningless, of course, if you’re just applying effects to recordings after the fact. That is, plug-ins are great – until you need real-time performance, since they can add loads of latency. So one of the selling points of working that way has been that UA offers near-zero latencies, letting you track through those effects. But those effects often don’t come cheap, and they are tied to UA’s own hardware. Universal Audio Apollo 8/x8 Thunderbolt 2 and 3 compatibility. Universal Audio continues churning out software updates with new analog emulations and other add-ons to buy 2018 has been a huge year for them. Some additional products like Auto-Tune EFX+ and Auto-Tune Hybrid (optimized for Avid DSP systems) are included in the bundle as well.Why would you want near-zero latency on an effect? Well, maybe you want to run something like a vocoder – and that means the latest addition to Universal Audio’s offerings is a big deal. These products are all available as part of Antares' Auto-Tune Unlimited subscription bundle that costs either $24.99/month or $249/year. You can analyze the key of an instrumental and then use Auto-Key's 'Send to Auto-Tune' feature to automatically update the Key and Scale settings within Auto-Tune Access/Artist/Pro. The most comprehensive version of Auto-Tune, called Auto-Tune Pro ($399) includes a Graph mode that lets you manually adjust the pitch of notes.Īuto-Tune Artist and Auto-Tune Pro both come bundled with Auto-Key ($49), which is a plugin that identifies the key of audio that you run through it. To gain access to a Flex-Tune and Vibrato Knob that will allow you to dial in a tighter natural-sounding pitch correction effect, you'll need to jump up to Auto-Tune Artist ($299).

Auto-Tune Access ($99) provides basic real-time pitch correction, allowing you to manipulate a Retune Speed and Humanize Knob. Auto-Tune is now available in various different versions.
