I’ve owned Auto-Tune EFX 2 and found it to be used more as an “autopilot” effect based plugin, but EFX 3 seems to have improvements and more controls. It is a scaled back version that can be used in either live or post environments and acts more as tool for either polishing vocal tracks’ pitch or as an effect. We’ve all seen the Double Rainbow video… I mean… c’mon.Īuto-Tune EFX 3 is obviously Antares’ third revision of the lighter version of the full blown AutoTune7 software. There have been plenty of examples of this plugin being used for extremely innovative projects. I don’t see people blaming Paul Mitchell for all these obnoxious faux-hawks, so why blame Auto-Tune. It is the overuse of the tool by individuals that has given Antares the bad rap. Although a lot of people have blamed this tool on the decline of music, I feel that Antares isn’t even a fraction as liable as the public believes they are. You’ve guessed it, we’re dealing with Antares Auto-Tune. This product has made its way into pop culture nomenclature and has been responsible for more television reality stars’ music careers than just about any network executive.
