Part 7: Tips for Best Results

1. Tune less at the extremes – The highest and lowest notes of a phrase benefit from slower Retune Speed.
2. Use Graph Mode for melisma – If a singer slides between multiple syllables, don't flatten entirely; instead draw a gentle curve.
3. Automate Retune Speed – Fast during chorus hooks (0–20), slow during verses (70–90).
4. Don't over-correct – A perfectly flat vocal line loses emotion. Let some natural pitch drift remain (Humanize 20–40).
5. Before Auto-Tune, edit first – Comp bad takes, remove breaths, reduce sibilance. Auto-Tune works best on clean audio.
