- In this video, I show how to tune vocals using Waves Tune in Cubase Pro. The content in this video is one of my older videos from a course I previously had on my website. I felt it was something that could help lots more people on CZcams. Newer versions of Waves Tune may function a lot differently to how I show in this video.

Just bought this plugin along with a couple of others bundled yesterday at Waves. Tried it last night on my fretless bass, and yes it works! (what sold me was someone in a review mentioning it works on monophonic instruments, but have not tried it on any others yet). I'm thinking there are plenty of novice sax players that would like to have a go at pitchy tracks, not to mention the ability to refine the tuning on pitched kick drums (let's say you've committed them to audio, or 'flattened' or 'frozen' them in Ableton).
Good for you re-deploying this older walk-through of yours, so far, the best video I've seen for thoroughness.
Thanks for the feedback and sharing your thoughts on the plugin. I am glad you liked the video.
Playback speed 1.5x to save some time
Correct 😄👌
Yes
Genuis.
i'm on x2 and i found that slow ..
I'm clearly in the minority -- slowing most tutorials down. I routinely take things down to 0.85 and slower, but was grateful for the deliberation of our host's speaking voice.
Thanks for this demo. You can resize using the magnifier glass symbol button or bottom right of screen. 👍
Thanks for the advice.
The notes definitely can get bigger (and that is a help), but I think we are talking about the actual plug-in, like different sizes, full screen !
Btw if you press on the magnifying glass at the bottom you can highlight the notes you’re working on and it’ll zoom in
Great thanks for letting me know.
Love the plugin, but really helpful tips, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback and I am glad it helped.
Really useful, thanks!
You're welcome!
Very helpful was your using Select All so the settings could be changed and applied on-the-fly to the corrections. I shall try that on some of my Wave Tune jobs and see if they come out a bit more natural. Your example was in D major, BTW.
I think I was using Select All to make the changes across the entire vocal track and not just individual notes. It really depends on the song and the performance to how I tune vocals. A lot of people have mentioned that the key is D Major I probably should have done better on working that out before hand. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Thank u! Was very helpful
You're welcome!
A great video thank you so much :)
Thank you for watching and the for the nice comment.
Windows can be resized as of Waves v12. Only the whole thing though. It would be handy if you could detach and resize the centre section.
That would be handy for sure. Thanks for letting me know about the resizing ability in the new version.
Thanks for the tutorial! Just got this plugin, hoping it's gonna be useful!
Hopefully you will. Thanks for the comment.
Very good video
Thanks for the visit
Thanx a lot sir..🙏
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
How do you just spot check specific notes? I want to keep most of the vocals untouched, but just zero in on a few notes.
Is there a way to do this within the plugin?
Outside, I guess I could automating the plugin out for the spots other than the ones I want to tweak, but, ehhhh....
I can't remember exactly how this plugin worked and I don't have a copy anymore. I was under the impression that you could not have it analyze parts of the vocal or you could delete the notes in the plugin making it ignore the parts and just play the original. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Hopefully someone else can help more in the comments.
Kevin, how do you shift vocals forward and backwards to fix timing issues?
Sorry I havent used this plugin for a while so I am not sure exactly how to do that. I would guess that you select all the little parts of entire note and just drag it across. If this is not possible then I would go back out of the plugin and split up the sections in your audio track note by note if needed and just move the notes manually. That is how I do timing issue corrections most of the time. I just find the problem areas in the track audio and split it up and start moving it around in very small movements by zooming in extremely close. I think I have a video on the channel somwhere that explains how I do tming issue correction.
I NEED HELP. why when I export my song I don’t listen the waves tune pitch correction?? But in the multitrack I do it
What software are using and do you have a fully paid for version of Waves Tune.
NOT being able to re-size plug-in is something our grandchildren will talk about...
Grandkids:
Really grandpa, you actually had to break out your microscope to see that tiny thing?... instead of just clicking a button that makes it bigger? What a drag.
I’m so glad I didn’t grow up back in the dark ages”.
Us: “Get the hell off the lawn” !!!!!! Lololololol
🤘🤩🤘
the plugin has been around in this form for many years and obviously needs upgrading. waves presumably are not doing that since so many of the DAWs have proprietary (cubase and logic for example) or in the case of studio one cooperation with celemony (izotope also). going back 2-3 years many plugins didn't resize. this phenomenon has really been a post 2018 affair........while waves should do a simple upgrade on their product i'm guessing they don't see the relevance knowing that their vocal tuning flagship is pretty much outgunned by flex pitch, vari audio and melodyne..,,,,pity in some ways since it's not a bad plugin to have.....
Спасибо )
You are Welcome.
Thank you for the video. What if I want the plugin to correct only one note and leave the rest alone?
Instead of selecting all the notes and tuning just select the one note and make your adjustments.
@@kdwmixingmastering Thank you!!!
You have the option of making the whole size of Waves you click next to save and it shows a selection of percentages :)
Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching.
So wait, you’re saying if I go to save, I can make all of my waves plug-ins bigger?
@@SteveStockmalMusic its the menu to the right of save
@@adamkumpmusic
I understand.
Sadly that doesn’t increase the general size of the plug-in (the GUI) that just makes the notes with in the plug-in larger.
Although that’s useful too... wouldn’t it be great if it was like Fab Filter and actually went full screen ?!?!?!?
In either case I’m happy with the plug-in.
I’m sure as new plug-ins come out tomorrow more of them will have sizing options as it’s becoming standard.
Thanks again
DUDE! Thank you! I've been mixing on a 4k monitor and waves is sooo tiny. This is a massive tip!
when u used the autotune plugin did u have other effects on the side?
No I didn't have any other effects.
My friend, you are lollygagging.
Sorry you didn't like the video. Thanks for the feedback and for giving my content a try.
Alto range starts at F3 , you're a whole octave off , making a lot more work then you need to.
Thanks for the advice I appreciate it.
I had no idea David Walliams does audio production tutorials on CZcams!
Are you saying I look like him or sound like him? I wish I had his money.
Dude really. That demo was like. So as you can see, it has a play button where you can play music. The vibrato function here allows you to control the vibrato
Sorry you didn't like the video. Thanks for the feedback and for giving my content a try.
Someone plz respond can I use waves with my imac 27 that only has 8gb of ram i just need to download autotune and waves 2 bundle pac
It would depend on the size of your project and how many instances you load but I don't se any reason why you couldn't run Waves Tune on your system.
8gb should be enough, go easy with number of tracks tho
how to solve this problem in cubase 10.5 listed in waves tune
"rewire link cannot be established"
Are you stating there is a problem with Waves Tune in Cubase 10.5 right now? I thought you just instantiated the plugin on the vocal track and it took over the tuning and playing of the audio file.
Make sure you start with Re-wire, and make sure you use a mono AUX channel (I tried with stereo and it didn't like it). Then open the plugin and you should be good to go !!
Whats' the difference between WavesTune and WavesTune Lite ?
It is missing a lot of the adjustment and editing features like tolerance, vibrato and more. If you just want to do a simple process than LT is fine but if you total control of the tuning then it might not work as well.
You can see a comparison table at the bottom of this page.
www.waves.com/plugins/waves-tune-lt
Is there a version or something like this what's free?
Not that I know of but if you go to their website right now they have it really cheap for around $29. 88% off the price.
Do you have latency on waves tune and if you have it how to solve the problem about it?
I don't use Waves Tune as I like to use the included Cubase VariAudio in my software. When I did use it I never used it live and only post recording so if there was latency it didn't impact me.
After the corrections how to save ????
You either need to leave the plugin on the track permanently and it plays back the correction or you need to bounce the track out with the correction on and then you can bring it back into your project and remove the plugin and the uncorrected track.
Any new controls you’ve learned from using this?
Not really. Even though I think this is one of the better plugins because I use Cubase Pro I just use VariAudio most of the time, so I don't have vast experience with the plugin.
Thanku
You're Welcome.
I can play this at 1.75x and it still doesn't feel too fast
Sorry I am a bit slow for you but I am glad that speeding it up helped.
In my opinion the Plugin Window is to small... with the newer Waves Version i think it is resitze the window!?
But the Waves Update Plan sucks....!!
I agree with both the window being too small and also the update plan. I have mentioned it a few times to people that Waves get you in the door with these $29 specials and then sting you with the update plan.
what's up with the vocalist breathing so heavy out of the nose at the end of every phrase??? are they trying to play digeridoo?
Just the way they sing. I am not sure why he does it. I seem to remember that in my final mix I faded out the breaths at the end very quickly to reduce or almost remove them.
@@kdwmixingmastering great choice. But yeah I feel like I have heard people do it before but I don’t think I’ve ever heard it so pronounced so now I’m like really curious how someone developed a voice like that
how can i download that?
You can get the plugin from the Waves website.
@@kdwmixingmastering but i want to download it free or cracked how can i get that?
I can't help with that. It isn't something I do or encourage.
You're song is in the key of D. You're not setting the root correctly I think.
You're probably right about that. I was more focused on showing the tool rather than doing the tuning right. Thanks for the feedback.
ok but what the fuck were those vocals
why the fuck do i have clicks when i start using Waves Tune? help me
Jesus Christ loves you
I am glad to hear that. Thanks.
man this guy is slow
Too robotic
Get to the point! You talk to much😂
