Automatic Vocal Tuning and Creative Effects—in Real Time

A dream tool that helps vocalists stay in tune while singing, feel confident, and focus on the emotion of their performance, in the studio or live on stage.

Waves Tune Real-Time eliminates the creative disconnect that happens when you track a vocal, but can’t hear the pitch effects until mixdown. With Waves Tune Real-Time, what you hear is what you track. Good-bye, guesswork—you’ll know what your vocal will sound like when it’s time to mix.

You can set Waves Tune Real-Time to be anywhere from natural and transparent, to creative and extreme. Best of all, you can concentrate on your vocal’s feel, while Waves Tune Real-Time takes care of the pitch—whether in the studio or live on stage.

Instant Gratification: Corrective or Creative

Cover a wide range of effects with just two main controls—Speed and Note Transition. These easy controls, together with the accompanying Tolerance settings, will let you determine whether you’re going for subtle, transparent, natural-sounding correction, or for hard-tuned creative effects.

Fast, Accurate Tracking for Natural Timbre and Vibrato

The tuned vocal retains its natural timbre, thanks to innovative pitch detection and correction. You can even optimize performance for the singer’s range, and choose the amount of vibrato tracking.

The Vocalist’s Safety Net

Waves Tune Real-Time is a vocal’s safety net. Designate “wrong” notes in advance so pitches won’t be corrected to them, and increase correction to compensate if the singer’s pitch is way off.

Play Your Pitch with MIDI

Play vocal notes at any pitch, with the virtual keyboard. Hook up a MIDI controller, or play back from a MIDI track. Almost all parameters have MIDI learn—go ahead, control vibrato with a synth’s mod wheel.

Select Your Scale—Or Customize Your Own

Quantize to 43 scales, drawn from traditional western and eastern musical styles. Even create your own custom scales, and choose whether “illegal” notes should play the highest or lowest scale note that’s closest.

Why You Need Waves Tune Real-Time

Waves Tune Real-Time was developed to solve a critical need for vocalists and producers: the ability to apply high-quality pitch correction instantly, without compromising the emotional impact of a performance. Whether in a live concert or a studio tracking session, vocalists often need the reassurance and polish that pitch correction provides—but traditional tools either introduce latency or are only useful after recording. Waves Tune Real-Time eliminates these obstacles by offering ultra-low latency pitch correction that is both transparent and responsive. It was designed as both a safety net and a creative tool, empowering singers to deliver their best performance in real time, while offering producers the flexibility to apply anything from subtle tuning to stylized vocal effects on the fly.

Who This is For

The target market for Waves Tune Real-Time includes a wide range of vocal professionals and production environments. Live vocal performers who require reliable, real-time pitch correction on stage are a key demographic. Studio engineers and producers working in genres like pop, hip hop, and EDM will find the plugin especially useful for applying hard pitch effects or clean tuning during vocal tracking. It also appeals to songwriters and demo artists who need to polish vocals quickly and effectively. Additionally, the product is ideal for churches, DJs, and live venues that rely on Waves SoundGrid systems, offering seamless integration and enhanced control.

What This Package Competes With

Waves Tune Real-Time competes with prominent pitch correction tools like Antares Auto-Tune Pro, Antares Auto-Tune Artist, and Melodyne Studio. While Auto-Tune Pro is considered the industry standard with deep editing features, it comes at a significantly higher cost and presents a steep learning curve. Melodyne Studio offers advanced precision and polyphonic capabilities, but it is not designed for real-time use, making it impractical for live or tracking situations. Compared to Auto-Tune Artist—which is optimized for live performance—Waves Tune Real-Time is more affordable and provides greater tuning customization, including unique features like customizable scales and full MIDI control. Its formant correction technology and SoundGrid compatibility give it an additional edge for both sonic quality and integration into live setups.
