The last step is to click and drag the Quantize Pitch and Straighten Pitch parameters to the right. The selected audio will appear in a different color. The Pitch & Warp button will divide your audio into segments that you can then edit individually-next, box-select all the audio by holding your mouse click and mousing over them. Once you have imported your audio file, double click the file in the Project window to open the Sample Editor window-select the VariAudio tab and click the Pitch & Warp button. So try out as many as you can get your hands on and experiment to find the plugin you like! While all auto-tune plugins have the same goal, they will function differently. Once your chosen auto-tune plugin is in the signal chain, adjust its settings to hear how the plugin changes the sound. Next, select your imported track, click the ‘Inserts’ button, and ‘Select Insert’ to find your auto-tune plugin. Once created, click ‘File’ and scroll down to ‘import’ and select ‘Audio File….’ Locate the file you want to use and import it.

Through the past 20 years, auto-tune has increasingly become one of the most sought-after effects in music production.

Using either a plugin or VariAudio (Cubase Pro only), we can, with a bit of practice and know-how, achieve the famous ‘auto-tune sound’ so many artists are using. In Cubase, the auto-tune effect is easy to accomplish.
