Auto-Tune Pro VST3/ARA PC Notes 

Installation 
The Auto-Tune Pro installer will automatically install the plug-in in the correct location, and no 
reboot of the computer will be necessary. 

Authorization 
Auto-Tune Pro 9.1.0 now supports machine authorization using the Antares Central app, and 
does not require an iLok dongle. Each license may be activated on up to two computers at a 
time. 
 
If you’re updating from a previous version, which used iLok, you will need to re-authorize using 
Antares Central. 
 
For authorization instructions, please see the “Authorizing Auto-Tune Pro” document included 
with the installer, or view video instructions h
​ ere​. 

VST Compatibility 
Auto-Tune Pro is a VST3 plug-in and is not compatible with hosts that only support the VST2 
format. For more information, please see our ​Host Compatibility​ and O
​ S Compatibility​ pages. 

64-bit Compatibility 
Auto-Tune 9.1.0 is a 64-bit plug-in only, and is not supported for use with 32-bit hosts. 

ARA (Audio Random Access) 

Auto-Tune Pro now supports ARA in Studio One 4. ARA is a technology that allows for 
closer integration and exchange of information between audio plugins and host 
applications (digital audio workstations).  
 
Please see the ​Auto-Tune Pro User Guide​ for a list of supported actions. Instructions for 
opening Auto-Tune Pro as an ARA plug-in in Studio One 4 can be found ​here​. 

Backwards Compatibility 
Auto-Tune Pro 9.1.0 can load previously saved settings from Auto-Tune Pro 9.0.x and 8.1.x, but 
not earlier versions of Auto-Tune. 

 
  
 

Forwards Compatibility 
Forwards compatibility from earlier versions is not supported. If you save a session with 
version 9.1.0 you will not be able to load its settings with any previous version of Auto-Tune.  
 
For this reason, we recommend NOT updating to this new version if you're in the middle of a 
project or exchanging session files with others using earlier versions of Auto-Tune Pro.  

Do not change these parameters during playback 

Changing the following settings during playback will result in audio artifacts: 
Low Latency (Settings Menu) 
Formant 
Classic 
 
Note object pitch preview in Cubase and Nuendo 
In order to hear pitch previews when clicking Note Objects in Cubase/Nuendo, you must 
uncheck the Cubase/Nuendo Preferences option, "Disable VST3 plugins when no audio 
present." This option is checked by default, so you will not hear previews until you manually 
disable it. 

Hardware buffer size  

For best performance, we recommend a hardware buffer size of 1024 samples when editing, 
mixing, and performing time correction.

The following modifier keys are active in Auto-Tune Pro: 
Shift​ - Toggles Snap-To-Note state in Graph Mode. Toggles Momentary state in Auto Mode. 
Ctrl + Click on a control​ - Returns the parameter to its default value 
Option​ - Enables horizontal movement of correction objects in Graph Mode 
Delete​ - Deletes the most recent line segment when using the Line Tool
