AnalogDAW Tune Support and Compatibility
AnalogDAW Tune is an AUv3 audio effect for compatible hosts on macOS 15+, iOS 18+ and iPadOS 18+. Hosts that accept only VST, VST3, AAX or AUv2 cannot load this extension. The Audio Unit accepts matching mono or stereo inputs and outputs at 8–192 kHz. A stereo instance uses one pitch estimate and applies coordinated correction to both channels.
The effect is missing
Open the AnalogDAW Tune app once, quit and relaunch the host, and refresh its Audio Unit list if it has a rescan option. Look under AnalogDAW in audio effects or search for Tune. On Mac, keep a single installed copy of the app if you see duplicate registrations. The component identity is aufx / vtun / ADAW.
Pitch tracking is unstable or no correction is audible
- Solo an isolated vocal and test the insert before reverb, doubling or delay. Chords, mixed tracks and competing voices can produce ambiguous pitch readings. Put each harmony on its own track and instance.
- Start on Auto for Vocal Range and verify the source level. Try a narrower range if the tuner tracks an octave away. Breaths, sibilants and other unpitched sounds often have no target.
- Confirm Tune is enabled, Strength is above zero and the keyboard still has suitable targets. Check for blue ignored keys and use Reset Note Edits if a clean scale is easier to troubleshoot.
- If phrases snap to the wrong note, verify Key, Scale and A4. Use the detected pitch and amber target to identify the note that needs attention.
Monitoring delay
Tune reports about 0.42 ms of plug-in delay at 48 kHz (20 samples), including its bypass path. Corrected voiced audio can vary by up to one pitch period as the shifter aligns cycles, and tracking a new note takes voiced input history. Your host's buffer, other effects and audio hardware also affect what you hear while monitoring. Try a smaller stable buffer and compare with a wired audio output if your monitoring feels late.
The audition player stops or cannot open a file
Try an isolated mono or stereo WAV file saved locally to rule out a file-provider or codec issue. After an audio interruption or route change, check the output device and press Play again. If the editor reports that the Audio Unit could not load, choose Retry or reopen the app.
Contact support
Contact Jason Shimkoski with your device, OS, Tune version, host and host version, and steps to reproduce. For sound issues, include the session sample rate, buffer size, channel layout and a screenshot of the Tune settings. A short audio excerpt you have permission to share can help reproduce a tracking issue.
