Waves Tune Real-Time

Description

Essential Information About Waves Tune Real-Time Software

  • Instant real-time pitch correction for recording and performing with an immediately audible result.
  • From natural to creative hard-tune thanks to two key settings (Speed and Note Transition) to switch from transparent correction to a "T-Pain" style effect.
  • Timbre preservation with formant correction and vibrato management to maintain a credible and musical voice.
  • Studio and stage optimized with ultra-low latency, MIDI control, and SoundGrid compatibility for Waves live applications.

What Waves Tune Real-Time Is For

Waves Tune Real-Time is a pitch correction plugin dedicated to vocals, designed for both studio recording and live use. It stabilizes intonation while the singer performs, helping to build confidence, improve melodic accuracy, and stay focused on emotion. In production, it speeds up workflow by eliminating the wait for mixdown: what you hear during recording already corresponds to the final output.

Main Features

An immediate "what you hear is what you track" workflow

The major advantage of Waves Tune Real-Time is eliminating the creative gap between tracking and result. In real time, you adjust the correction to achieve either a subtle, natural touch-up or a deliberate quantization effect. The Speed and Note Transition controls, combined with tolerance settings, allow you to shape the plugin's response to the performance dynamics.

Fast detection, preserved timbre, and controlled vibrato

The pitch tracking is designed to remain musical, preserving the character of the voice. Formant correction helps maintain a natural sound despite tuning, and vibrato management allows correction when necessary while retaining its organic feel. You can also optimize the plugin's behavior according to the singer's vocal range to improve accuracy.

Harmonic safety, scales, and forbidden notes

To avoid "surprise" corrections, you can predefine notes to exclude so the voice is not pulled toward unwanted pitches. The plugin also offers quantization to 43 scales from Western and Eastern styles, with the ability to create custom scales and choose how to handle out-of-scale notes (redirecting to the nearest allowed note).

MIDI control and live performance

Waves Tune Real-Time can be controlled via a MIDI track or controller, with MIDI learn functionality on most parameters. You can "play" the target pitch and even assign vibrato to a modulation wheel for expressive control. On stage, its ultra-low latency and SoundGrid compatibility make it an effective tool to secure lead vocals, backing vocals, or demanding spoken/sung parts.
