Getting Started with AnalogDAW Tune
AnalogDAW Tune requires macOS 15 or later or iOS/iPadOS 18 or later. Use a host that supports AUv3 audio effects to process a track. The included app also opens local audio files for auditioning.
Tune a track in your host
- Install AnalogDAW Tune and open the app once. If your host was already open, restart it and refresh its Audio Unit list if it offers that option.
- Insert AnalogDAW → Tune on a single lead vocal. The effect may appear as AnalogDAW: Tune in a flat list. Place it before reverb, delay or doubling so the detector hears a clean source.
- Open the editor, start playback and select Natural. Set Key and Scale to the song. If you are unsure of the key, start with Chromatic and listen for notes that need a more specific target.
- Leave Vocal Range on Auto to start. Watch the detected pitch and target as the singer moves through a phrase.
- Toggle the editor's power button to compare the dry and tuned vocal at the same plug-in delay. Save the host project to recall the result. Use the host's bounce or export feature for a processed file.
For live monitoring, enable input monitoring in the host and compare how it feels at a buffer size your device can sustain. The host, interface and audio route contribute to the monitoring delay.
Audition a local file
- Open the AnalogDAW Tune app and choose Open Vocal.
- Select a readable mono or stereo audio file, such as a WAV, AIFF or MP3. For a cloud-stored file, make it available locally first if your file provider cannot deliver it.
- Press Play and change settings while listening. Press Stop to stop. Press Play again to start the file from the beginning.
The app uses the same editor and processing as the plug-in. Auditioning leaves the original file intact. Recording and exporting a processed file are host workflows.
