David,

You won't be sorry!

Reatune is a great vocal pitch corrector. I also use it on single-note instruments like sax, trumpet, etc., from time to time.

For reference, Reatune uses the same zplane's élastique that BIAB does with Realtracks and Realdrums.

In case it's useful information...

I use Reatune in Manual Correction mode. Since I record my vocals in mono:

  • I de-activate the default "Stereo correction"
  • set the attack time to 80 ms (rather than the default 250 ms)
  • set the "Algorithm" to "élastique 3.2.7 Soloist"
  • use a monophonic "parameter"

This seems to work well enough for me.

For anyone else who is reading this thread and who is interested, Kenny Gioia explains Reatune in the below video clip.



One thing that Kenny doesn't mention in his video is that it's also possible to set the tuning at an angle. This can be useful for enhancing slide effects. When I use it at an angle, I usually finish the note off with a horizontal tuning line at the top if needed. See the image below. (On this image, none of the notes need correcting. I'm just using them to illustrate what I mean.)

Lastly, in the "Project Settings" I set...

  • the "Playback resample mode" to "Better (384 pt sinc)"
  • the "Render resample mode" to "Extreme HQ (768 pt HQ sinc)

I don't know if this helps with ReaTune but since the plugin is pitch shifting, I reason that it's probably better to set these options rather than leave them with their defaults.

Regards,
Noel
