\b\fick the Show Lanes button to togg\fe its state. 
The button wi\f\f turn b\fue when Show Lanes 
mode is on (but of course when Show Lanes 
mode is on, the Pitch Graph is fu\f\f of Lanes, so 
it’s pretty hard to get confused about which 
mode you’re in).
Note: You can switch back and forth 
between displa\f modes at an\f time. 
Switchin\b modes has no effect on 
an\f previous correction objects. So \fou could, 
for example, use the default \braph mode for 
creatin\b and tweakin\b some curves in one...

All/Tie Buttons
The Enve\fope Graph’s 
horizonta\f (time) sca\fe is 
contro\f\fed by the “A\f\f” and 
“Tie” buttons.
\b\ficking the A\f\f button causes the enve\fope 
graph to disp\fay a\f\f of the current\fy tracked 
audio. This is usefu\f for quick\fy \focating and 
se\fecting various portions of audio spread over 
the duration of a song.
\b\ficking the Tie button s\faves the position of 
the Enve\fope Graph to that of the Pitch Graph. 
When this setting is se\fected, the horizonta\f

The Graphical Tools
The graphica\f too\fs are used in conjunction with 
the edit buttons to create or modify the desired 
correction objects.
Note: the two tools dedicated to 
time correction and manipulation will 
be described in the 
ti

me Controls 
section later in this chapter.

The Snap To Note mode does not affect the 
\burve Too\f.
On\fy one pitch contour object (Line, \burve, 
or Note) can exist at any time point on the 
Pitch Graph. When you comp\fete the entry of 
a \burve object, any object(s) that previous\fy 
existed at the same time wi\f\f be de\feted.
Note: If, while the Curve tool is 
selected, \fou move the cursor onto 
the

The extent to which you can drag se\fected 
objects is constrained by the position of 
neighboring unse\fected objects.
\b\ficking on the background of the Pitch Graph 
dese\fects a\f\f se\fected objects.
ADDING AND DELETING AN\bHOR POINTS: 
Moving the Arrow Too\f over an existing \fine 
segment and doub\fe-c\ficking wi\f\f add an 
intermediate anchor point at that point. The 
cursor wi\f\f change to the anchor point cursor 
and the new anchor point can then be dragged.

desired central pitch, just \brab the appropriate 
end of the first or last central pitch Note and 
dra\b it over all of the other Notes. You’ll end 
up with a sin\ble Note on the desired frequenc\f 
whose vibrato \fou can tame with a sin\ble 
adjustment of the Note’s Retune Speed.
Whi\fe a\f\f of the above may seem a bit mind-
bogg\fing on first reading, in practice it’s quite 
intuitive. Spend a minute or two p\faying with 
the Arrow Too\f and a\f\f wi\f\f become c\fear.

The Edit Buttons
Once some audio has been tracked and/or 
correction objects created, they can be affected 
or edited in various ways with the Edit Buttons.
The Edit Buttons are context sensitive, i.e., on\fy 
the buttons that are app\ficab\fe to the current 
state of the pitch disp\fay are active. If a particu\far 
button does not have a va\fid function re\fative to 
the current pitch disp\fay state, it wi\f\f be “grayed 
out” (i.e., co\fored dark gray). If it does have a 
va\fid function, it wi\f\f...

wish to paste them.

Time Shifting Overview
As mentioned back in \bhapter 2, in order to do 
its time shifting magic, Auto-Tune 7 must first 
create a copy of any audio you wish to edit. 
As you might imagine, these audio fi\fes can 
be quite \farge. Un\fike the pitch data generated 
by the traditiona\f Track Pitch function, which is 
a\fways stored with the instances of Auto-Tune 
in your session, the audio recorded for time 
shifting by the Track Pitch + Time function is 
saved as one or more separate fi\fes e\fsewhere...

can accomp\fish this in most cases, but it’s 
important to keep in mind that if your session is 
particu\far\fy comp\fex, with many tracks and \fots 
of other potentia\f\fy processor-hungry p\fug-ins 
a\f\f running at once, even the fastest computer 
may have troub\fe keeping up. 
To a\fert you to any data access prob\fems, the 
Data Error indicator wi\f\f \fight red anytime Auto-
Tune 7 is unab\fe to read data from its disk fi\fe in 
the time avai\fab\fe. If this happens, you shou\fd
