Hey! Insanely good video and I’m really inspired to get a similar set up. I don’t currently own a UAD interface. Do you need a specific one or so the smaller ones work too?
You can add any UAD effect to Console including reverb etc. Whether you can send midi to it depends whether the plug-in can accept incoming MIDI. Most plugins can’t, but there are 3rd party options out there to automate other plugins in UAD Console- UA Midi Control

Mate, this is exactly what I've been trying to research for ages. Thanks so much for this. Would love to know your thoughts on how to make this method redundant...?
Glad this is helpful! Do you mean "redundant" as in running an A computer, and a B computer, simultaneously? And having their timeline/playback/automation synced-- so in case the A compute goes down, that the B would take over? Or another form of redundancy, as there are a couple different ways to look at it? :)
@@ekozumusic Exactly, I've got redundant playback - computer A and B but wondering how I can get this to work with redundant autotune...? Somehow using two Apollo Twins but getting them to sync with playback...?
You’ll want the iconnect 2 midi interface. Basically it allows you to connect one midi controller to two computers, so by pushing the play button on your midi controller, you launch the playhead of both computers at the same time- reverb.com/p/iconnectivity-iconnect-midi2-plus-multi-host-2x2-midi-interface You can then use a Switcher (Radial makes one) to automatically switch your audio outputs feeding the sound system from your A computer to the B computer, if the A crashes.

@@vancommon Have you tried recently with everything up to date? It's working for me on the latest hardware. If you'd like help building the Ableton session for your live performance, feel free to email me via Ekozuoutreach@gmail.com
Instead of using the Chord Tool in Ableton to create multiple octaves, there's a setting in the Advanced View of Auto-Tune, under the 'Create Vibrato' section. The 'Learn Scale' and 'All Octaves' buttons correspond to the MIDI from your DAW. They can help track and create a custom scale across all octaves for any MIDI Clip from Ableton.
Amazing! thank you so much! do you know if there's a way to do something similar to control other UAD plugins? Autotune is the only one with the preferences wheel showing up...
Great video I use pt mostly I have uad love the Apollo I have Ableton live suite which came with my Arturia but thinking about getting the advanced version I hear great things about Ableton thanks again
thanks man, I think I saw you had a comment about more detailed instructions on getting this to work in pro tools. I haven’t tried it but pretty sure it’s possible though would take some technical know how and trial and error. Honestly if you’re just getting into Daws and doing a lot of production (as opposed to exclusively mixdowns) I’d suggest starting with Ableton as it’s more user friendly and flexible, especially for live performance. I got certified in Pro Tools around 2007 and used almost all the DAWS and Ableton is by far my favorite! Tho everyone has their weapon of choice and what matters most is what works best for you.

Did you need to create a new Ext instrument for that flex tune bypass trick? If key and scale were set 15&16 and flex tune was 17, couldn’t you have used the same track and simply added an automation for the flex tune?
This is great. Thank you so much ! Once we are performing live how/where does the autotune get routed so it hits main console and main singers microphone? Example Perc instruments get routed to Ch. 3 and sound engineer will have all percs coming down that channel. Thank you !
In UAD Console, each channel will probably say “Monitor” on bottom, which goes out the main 1/2 outputs from your sound card. You can click where it says Monitor on each channel, and change the outputs individually to the other outputs of your sound card 🧡

I have my mac with M1 Monterrey and it doesn't work :( I have downloaded to version 9.15, and after installing drivers and rebooting, the UAD panel does not open correctly. Apparently only version 10.0 can be installed in Monterrey, but with this version I have not been able to get it to respond to Ableton automation.
I'm not familiar with that DAW, but if you're running Autotune in UAD console, your DAW should be able to send MIDI to UAD console using the virtual MIDI port I outlined in this vid! However, if you aren't using it in live performance, you don't need to do all this complicated stuff...you can just load Autotune directly in your session :)
I already use IAC Driver on a track in ableton to stop the tracks from playing, would it be possible to use the same IAC driver track in ableton to send MIDI notes change my UAD console settings like you are? or would I have to make a new track in Ableton for that? I realize I could just test this myself but my interface is all the way over there. Thanks for the video!
Strange electronics is awesome!! That's a good route though I haven't tested it personally, they do great work. This is simply a native way to do things.
curious how the pro's are doing this with redundant setups? is there an interface that will allow 2 laptops as host? So that if one fails ... the UAD can fail over to the 2nd laptop session with identical midi commands? maybe its the iConnectivity mioXM that would accomplish this?
www.iconnectivity.com/playaudio12 Play audio 12 allows 2 comps to connect to one interface that will auto switch if the main comp goes down www.radialeng.com/product/sw8 Alternatively, Radial has a hardware switcher that takes XLR looks from two isolated setups, and switches to the backup of the main lines fail In both cases you would need two laptops and two UAD sound cards 🙂
Hey man, I'm using target notes only for one song in my setlist, but what happens is that once I use target notes, all the notes are removed, both major and minor too.
Hey 😊 from what I recall it doesn’t work to mix target notes with not using target notes. You have to pick one way or the other for all your songs or auto tune gets weird. This isn’t a hard rule, and maybe peeps figured out a way to mix the two methods, but it’s pretty easy to set up target notes for all your songs and gives you more control over notes you might want to avoid 🙂
Is there a way to do this in Logic Pro? This is the exact info I need but I want to do this with autotune and delays for vocals being that the tempo changes for each song. Please help if you know how.
Hi! I don’t know how to do so in logic but should be fairly easy. You might find midi preferences in Logic that you can assign to be able to send midi data to that virtual MIDI driver we created in Mac OS. Hope this helps!
Does it work the same if I want to change to different keys in the same song? I notice a lot of the bigger auto tune artists example money man gunna young thug. They will go to different scales or from low to high and it still sounds very clean and has that auto crispy effect. I’m interested because I don’t want sing in same key in auto tune for whole song especially if I’m switching a cadence and melody to keep the listener from getting bored and for creative experiment. Are they just manipulating their voice with practice because I understand it takes skill even with auto tune.i just didn’t know if they are using this technique and engineers know all the scales or they are just completely manipulating their voice to sound auto tune effect perfect on every key thanks for any advice. I think this video answered my question I’m using Protools though
You can definitely switch the keys as many times as you want in a song! Just use the "advanced" section I added toward the end, where you're sending the scales as midi notes from your DAW to Auto Tune. You can even add "accidentals" and notes existing outside of the scale this way. I'm sure you can configure pro tools to send midi messages to the IAC bus we created in the beginning of the video. Shouldn't be much different from the Ableton setup once you have Pro Tools sending to your IAC bus!
I think you can save your own custom scales in Auto-Tune. Might be easier in a lot of cases. Had to do that for a pop show where a singer did some modal shifting on a couple songs.
This is likely possible, however imo the easiest way is using the “advanced” technique at the end of this video, to send exactly what notes you want via midi, rather than trying to figure out modes etc :)
Sorry to hear man, it might be an OS version thing. I'll be getting an M1 soon, when I do I'll set this up and try to run it through again, and post an edit if there's a better solution. Maybe go through step by step one more time in case you missed some small detail. Best of luck!
@@fernandobelisario6731 I'D LOVE TO KNOW THIS, having serious issues with M1 mac and monterray trying to achieve whats going on in this video, but with Logic
can you do this while not using the Apollo as the interface for ableton? What if it's plugged in via thunderbolt, but using a different interface via USB as the audio interface for ableton, can you still send MIDI data to the console app?

Hey Benny, hope this was helpful for you! There are tons of videos on RUclips for how to use Autotune itself. The scope of this video was connecting the UAD Console software running Autotune, directly to Ableton, short and sweet 🙂 lmk if you need recommendations for tutorials on using autotune itself. You might try the Antares RUclips channel.
I'm having an issue with Target Notes staying on when it's supposed to. When I have the scale mode set to chromatic, Target Notes stays on, but if I move to a different song in Ableton which is triggering Auto-Tune to major or minor it turns off Target Notes. This in itself isn't necessarily a problem, however when I go later in the timeline to a song with a custom scale I have to manually go in and turn Target Notes back on. Do you know a way around this issue?
AH SO YOU CAN AUTOMATE THE SCALE IN FL STUDIO WITH THE PARAMETERS AND SET IT FOR THE SESSION SO YOU HAVE ALL BEATS RIGHT THATS DOPE CAN USE ANY INTERFACE
You should be able to assign the midi output of that particular channel to your IAC bus. Via the midi output selector on your channel, just be sure you don’t load anything on the channel, or it may change to an audio output :)
You can run Autotune natively in Ableton, but then you'll have some latency on your vocal, as well as added CPU to your Ableton session, which isn't ideal for live performance. If you'd like help building the Ableton session for your live performance, feel free to email me via Ekozuoutreach@gmail.com
hi! When I open Logic and create an external midi instrument, I see it is able to send to the virtual MIDI port that I created via Audio Midi settings in Mac. This indicates to me that Logic can do this as well, following the same steps as this video, but instead of using a MIDI track in Ableton, use a MIDI track and Logic that is assigned to the "IAC Driver UAD MIDI" that we created in this video. Hope this helps!
I run autotune exactly how you're thinking. Every singer I've worked with (even dropping Ableton's samplerate down to 64 or 32) has to work through a "doubled" vocal effect where they are hearing there voice in their head first and the processed vocal after. Using Apollo's DSP allows for low / no latency and keeps the horse power in a hardware device instead of ableton like @ekozumusic mentioned
Did anyone get this to work in Windows 10? I used loopMIDI as an alternative to the IAC Driver and followed all the steps but the automation is just not making any change in Autotune. My UAD Console version is 10.1 and Ableton is 11.0
@@raphaelluca That's good to know and pretty weird, maybe it's the UAD Console version? Anyways I ended up using the third party program UA Midi Control with loopMIDI, that worked for me :)
Glad this is working for you with the workaround! If you'd like help building the Ableton session for your live performance, feel free to email me via Ekozuoutreach@gmail.com
Since you can’t run waves tune in UAD console, you should be able to automate the key of waves tune directly in your daw. In which case you wouldn’t need the midi cc values :)
I'm doing it the way you said. Could it also be this?; We want to delay our vocals, but during performance, can we do this with a midi device by turning the knob?

@@ekozumusic hey man! So I got it working, it was an issue with UAD 10.0. I downgraded to 9.15 and all works fine. 🙏🏻
Good to know! Thank you
@@stevenweston_ how did you downgrade without downgrading OS software? Did you go from Monterrey down to big sur?
@@fernandobelisario6731 I'D LOVE TO KNOW THIS, having serious issues with M1 mac and monterray trying to achieve whats going on in this video, but with Logic
can you do this while not using the Apollo as the interface for ableton? What if it's plugged in via thunderbolt, but using a different interface via USB as the audio interface for ableton, can you still send MIDI data to the console app?
Yes
Hope this has been helpful Darro! If you'd like help building the Ableton session for your live performance, feel free to email me via Ekozuoutreach@gmail.com
does it work in session view too? our current live set is in session view with clips i would like to keep that.
Absolutely
Does this work with Logic Pro X?
I use logic y cant i get it to work for my live performance?
I dont have UAD. Is that the only way to run it live?
please make a video of using it
Hey Benny, hope this was helpful for you! There are tons of videos on RUclips for how to use Autotune itself. The scope of this video was connecting the UAD Console software running Autotune, directly to Ableton, short and sweet 🙂
lmk if you need recommendations for tutorials on using autotune itself. You might try the Antares RUclips channel.
I'm having an issue with Target Notes staying on when it's supposed to. When I have the scale mode set to chromatic, Target Notes stays on, but if I move to a different song in Ableton which is triggering Auto-Tune to major or minor it turns off Target Notes. This in itself isn't necessarily a problem, however when I go later in the timeline to a song with a custom scale I have to manually go in and turn Target Notes back on. Do you know a way around this issue?
In that case I would always use target notes and build your scales via midi. It’s pretty easy and fast to do
Can you do this with Logic Pro x?
I don't have Logic but sure this will work with some experimentation!
got so excited but need this for windowwssss!!! help
Just use the program "loopMIDI".
AH SO YOU CAN AUTOMATE THE SCALE IN FL STUDIO WITH THE PARAMETERS AND SET IT FOR THE SESSION SO YOU HAVE ALL BEATS RIGHT THATS DOPE CAN USE ANY INTERFACE
automation cliips dont work but edit events work
@@givejonnythelight automation clips do work bro, you have to use the midi out plugin
any workarounds tonot having external instrument because I'm on live lite?
You should be able to assign the midi output of that particular channel to your IAC bus. Via the midi output selector on your channel, just be sure you don’t load anything on the channel, or it may change to an audio output :)
does it really take all this? you can’t just tell ableton to automate to a certain key?
You can run Autotune natively in Ableton, but then you'll have some latency on your vocal, as well as added CPU to your Ableton session, which isn't ideal for live performance.

Do pro tools version ???
I don't have pro tools but sure this will translate with some experimentation!
anyone worked out how to do this with Logic?
hi! When I open Logic and create an external midi instrument, I see it is able to send to the virtual MIDI port that I created via Audio Midi settings in Mac. This indicates to me that Logic can do this as well, following the same steps as this video, but instead of using a MIDI track in Ableton, use a MIDI track and Logic that is assigned to the "IAC Driver UAD MIDI" that we created in this video. Hope this helps!
I don't understand, why use UAD console at all? why not just use autotune as a plugin in ableton?
Latency and CPU efficiency :) every percent counts in your live show
I run autotune exactly how you're thinking. Every singer I've worked with (even dropping Ableton's samplerate down to 64 or 32) has to work through a "doubled" vocal effect where they are hearing there voice in their head first and the processed vocal after. Using Apollo's DSP allows for low / no latency and keeps the horse power in a hardware device instead of ableton like @ekozumusic mentioned
Did anyone get this to work in Windows 10? I used loopMIDI as an alternative to the IAC Driver and followed all the steps but the automation is just not making any change in Autotune. My UAD Console version is 10.1 and Ableton is 11.0
Yo, I used loopMIDI as well and works perfectly in Ableton 11.0 & FL Studio 20.9 for me. Did everything like in the video apart from that.
@@raphaelluca That's good to know and pretty weird, maybe it's the UAD Console version? Anyways I ended up using the third party program UA Midi Control with loopMIDI, that worked for me :)
@@MoritzDauner I'm using 10.1 as well, glad to hear you got it to work tho!
Glad this is working for you with the workaround! If you'd like help building the Ableton session for your live performance, feel free to email me via Ekozuoutreach@gmail.com
I have pro tools and don’t have this
This is so much easier in studio one
how, is there any video on youtube? cause i work with ableton and studio one
Any one know how to do this on Logic my brain is fried
Pleasee
It's not live if some tracker is playing backing tracks. I was wanting to see live harmony against midi notes played live.
you can still use this technique while triggering midi clips
im gonna be straight, performers are autotuning themselves to an AI singer future.
7:15 because ableton is trash for performing. In Reaper you get a net wet/dry knob for everything
That wouldn’t work either as the audio is passing through UAD Console and not Reaper
@@jeffsavaryego2366 If you do it that way maybe but for everyone else its going straight through the DAW.
@@escapegulag4317 yes but the whole point is to do it with UAD Console so there’s no latency
@@jeffsavaryego2366 The audio interface doesnt matter
how to do same with ableton and waves tune on mainstage ? cant find all the midi info numbers of waves tune ruclips.net/video/P9Tz232d_sM/видео.html
Since you can’t run waves tune in UAD console, you should be able to automate the key of waves tune directly in your daw. In which case you wouldn’t need the midi cc values :)
@@ekozumusic is that i want to mchange midi from ableton to mainstage were waves tune is
Thank you so much man!
I'm doing it the way you said. Could it also be this?; We want to delay our vocals, but during performance, can we do this with a midi device by turning the knob?
