Open Logic Pro X and create a new track

To begin Autotuning in Logic Pro X, the first step is to open the program and create a new track.

To do this, open the program, then click on the “File” tab from the top left side of the page.

From there, select “New”, which will prompt a new window to open.

In the new window, select “Track”, and then give the track a name and choose the type of track you wish to create.

Once this is done, the new track will be automatically added to the project, and you will be ready to move on to the next step.

Select a preset that is suitable for the desired sound

Selecting the right preset is one of the most important steps when autotuning in Logic Pro X.

Start by finding a preset that is suitable for the desired sound.

You can do this by clicking on the Preset dropdown menu in the Autotune plugin and selecting one of the pre-set settings from the list.

You can also customize the sound by adjusting the parameters like Pitch, Formant, and Retune Speed.

Make sure to experiment with different settings until you get the desired sound.

Adjust the ‘Retune Speed’ and ‘Humanize’ settings

After you have selected the desired preset, you can adjust the ‘Retune Speed’ and ‘Humanize’ settings to customize the autotune effect.

The ‘Retune Speed’ parameter determines how quickly the notes are adjusted to the desired scale, while the ‘Humanize’ parameter adds a subtle variation to the effect, making it sound more natural.

Adjusting these parameters can help you create a unique, professional autotune sound.

Apply the preset to the track

After selecting the desired preset, it is time to apply it to the track.

To do this, navigate to the bottom of the Autotune window and press the “Apply” button.

This will cause the Autotune plugin to analyze the audio and then apply the preset to the track.

After the preset is applied, you will have completed the Autotune process and can move on to further editing.

Monitor the audio for any audible artifacts

After you have applied the Autotune effect to the audio, it is important to monitor the audio for any audible artifacts.

Depending on the settings, Autotune can sometimes produce audible artifacts that are not desirable.

If you hear any undesirable artifacts, you can adjust the settings accordingly to minimize them.

Additionally, you can use the built-in analyzer to check the audio for any artifacts, ensuring that the Autotuned audio sounds as good as possible.

Adjust the ‘Formant Shift’ for a more natural sound

After applying an autotune effect to a vocal track, the ‘Formant Shift’ control can be used to match its sound with the original audio.

This allows for a more natural sound and makes the process of autotuning less noticeable.

To adjust the ‘Formant Shift’ in Logic Pro X, select the ‘Formant’ section of the autotune plugin and set the ‘Formant Shift’ control to your desired value.

This can be adjusted until the vocal track sounds as natural as possible.

Fine-tune the preset settings for the desired sound

After setting the appropriate key and scale, select the appropriate preset from the Autotune settings menu.

After doing so, fine-tune the preset settings for the desired sound.

This may involve adjusting the Retune Speed, Humanize, Vibrato, or Pitch.

Additionally, there may be other settings that are specific to the selected preset.

Experiment with the settings to achieve the desired sound.

Export the track with the desired autotune effect applied

After you have selected the desired autotune effect and edited the parameters of the track, the next step is to export the track with the effect applied.

To do this, go to the File menu and select Export > Song to Disk.

This will open up a new window where you can choose the file format, bit rate, and other options.

Once you have set the desired options, click the Export button to save the track with the autotune effect applied.
