Cakewalk Audio FX 3 SoundStage allows you to design acoustic environments in which to play back digital audio, resulting in unique, realistic reverb. FX3 allows the user to define sizes and positions for ceiling, floor, and up to seven walls, select unique room characteristics like sound absorption, trapping and high-frequency damping, and place microphones and select microphone patterns, proximity adjustments, and separation distance.

Antares Auto-Tune

 



The Auto-Tune is a plugin that corrects intonation problems of vocals and other solo recordings in real time. The quality of the output is spectacular: Even audiophiles cannot tell a sound has been processed, except that it is perfectly in-tune. Auto-Tune's accuracy is exceptional. If the user desires, Auto-Tune is capable of correcting pitch to within .01 cents of the standard pitch.

Auto-Tune is capable of continuously identifying and correcting pitch in realtime. Major, minor, chromatic and 26 historical, ethnic and microtonal scales provide unprecedented control of the output tonality. Auto-Tune is so fast that it is capable of removing vibrato if desired. A graphical mode allows more flexible control over pitch scoops and shifts.
