Introducing Auto-Tune® Hybrid: Optimized for Pro Tools, included in Auto-Tune Unlimited

All Auto-Tune Unlimited subscribers get Auto-Tune Hybrid, a new edition optimized for Avid Pro Tools platforms, included in their subscription

Antares Audio Technologies, inventors of Auto-Tune® and a global leader in pitch correction and vocal effects, announced Auto-Tune Hybrid, a brand new edition of Auto-Tune created exclusively for use with Avid Pro Tools platforms. Hybrid is optimized to take advantage of Avid’s DSP-based hardware, giving Pro Tools users more processing power and delivering the ultimate Auto-Tune experience. Hybrid also works on native systems when Pro Tools users aren’t using DSP-based hardware. This makes Hybrid perfect for everything from mixing on a laptop to using Auto-Tune in real time in both the studio and live performances. 

“We’re thrilled to offer Auto-Tune Hybrid to the Pro Tools community.  Auto-Tune Hybrid delivers the features and performance professional mixers, producers, and engineers need to be successful in today’s studio and live environments.” says Steve Berkley, CEO of Antares. “It’s designed to make the most of Avid’s hardware and boost performance in key moments, whether it’s laying down tracks or perfecting a performance in real time. Combining our technology so seamlessly gives music-makers the professional tools they need to be successful in their musical endeavors.” 

“Antares’s unmistakable products have helped raise the quality of countless vocal recordings and given artists, producers, and engineers the confidence and creative options to realize their artistic vision. By working together to integrate Auto-Tune technology and Avid’s hardware  we’ve unlocked even more potential,” explains François Quereuil, Director of Product Management at Avid. “Together we’re now offering a complete set of professional effects designed to take vocal production to a whole new level.”
