A few words from Dr. Andy I remember, as if it were yesterday, sitting in my junior high school band, happily playing away on my flute, when I noticed that our conductor was screaming and jumping up and down on the podium. What was this about? Suddenly, I realized she was screaming at me. And just in time too — since I was able to duck and watch a baton fly past my head, missing me by inches. “Why [expletive] can’t you play in tune?” she asked. But I was in tune. Everybody else was out of tune. It was then I began to learn about intonation. Many artists struggle with intonation. An entire concert can be spoiled by a single sour note. Many of our most celebrated entertainers spend hours in the studio doing retake after retake, trying to sing expressively and in tune. Afterwards, their producers spend yet more time trying to correct intonation problems using inadequate tools. The ATR-1a is dramatically changing all of that. Because of the ATR-1a, sessions can focus on feeling and expression, rather than retakes. Studio hours are reduced and production costs are lowered. Even artists in live performance situations can concentrate on interpretation, confident that any pitch inaccuracies will be caught and corrected before they make it out to the audience. What’s more, the ATR-1a is incredibly easy to use (a fact attested to by the thinness of this manual). So fire up your ATR-1a, invest a half hour or so in reading the following pages, and prepare to make intonation problems a thing of the past.

Here was a tool that actually corrected the pitch of vocals and other solo instruments, in real time, without distortion or artifacts, while preserving all of the expressive nuance of the original performance. Recording Magazine called Auto-Tune a “Holy Grail of recording.” And went on to say, “Bottom line, Auto-Tune is amazing... Everyone with a Mac should have this program.” In fact,...
