On the official website, Antares products are divided into three categories (pitch correction, AI vocal chain, and creative vocal effects), the subscription-only AVOX Vault, and Auto-Tune Unlimited, which bundles everything together. Here we organize each product based on the information on the official site.

Differences Between the 4 Auto-Tune Editions (Based on the Official Comparison Chart)

The Auto-Tune pitch correction line currently has four editions: Auto-Tune Pro 11, Auto-Tune 2026, Auto-Tune EFX+ 10 and Auto-Tune Hybrid. According to the official website, all four are offered as both perpetual licenses and subscriptions, and share low-latency processing for live performance and recording, integration with Auto-Key 2, presets from top artists and producers, native Apple Silicon support, the Humanize function, and Retune Speed and Humanize adjustment. The differences are shown in the table below.

Which Auto-Tune Should You Choose? (Official Positioning)

• Auto-Tune 2026: Simple real-time pitch correction ideal for recording and live performance. Light on CPU, with a visual display for Flex Tune.
• Auto-Tune Pro 11: A professional flagship that adds Graph Mode for detailed manual editing, a Harmony Player and ARA2 on top of the 2026 features, for advanced vocal control.
• Auto-Tune EFX+ 10: A vocal-effects-oriented edition that adds an effects rack and a pattern generator to pitch correction.
• Auto-Tune Hybrid: Pro Tools only. Supports zero-latency operation on Avid DSP hardware (HDX, Carbon).

Note: According to the official website, Auto-Tune 2026 and Pro 11 both use the same pitch correction algorithm that has shaped music since 1996.

Auto-Tune Pro 11

Auto-Tune Pro 11 is the flagship edition of the Auto-Tune series, which has been the standard for professional pitch correction for 20 years. It includes both Auto Mode, which corrects pitch in real time, and Graph Mode, where you edit notes directly with the mouse and adjust Retune Speed, vibrato and formants per note. You can do automatic correction and precise manual editing in a single plugin.

Key features

• 4-part Harmony Player: Generates four harmonies using Harmony Engine technology. Can be mixed or played via MIDI triggers, with formant, pan and level adjustable for each voice.
• ARA2 support: In Logic Pro, Studio One and Cubase/Nuendo, the DAW and plugin can share audio, tempo, pitch and rhythm information across the entire song.
• Smart MIDI mapping: Just right-click a knob or button and move your MIDI controller to assign it.
• Multi-View: Switch between multiple Auto-Tune tracks in a single window.
• Classic Mode: The classic Auto-Tune Effect sound from the Auto-Tune 5 era.
• Artist presets and a preset manager, plus native Apple Silicon support.

Auto-Tune 2026

Auto-Tune 2026 is a lightweight, CPU-friendly next-generation edition rebuilt from scratch while keeping the original Auto-Tune workflow and sound. The official site presents the concept as professional-quality vocals in seconds, with strong performance in recording, mixing and live use. According to the official announcement, it processes up to 2.3 times faster than before (at 192 kHz) and allows up to twice as many instances.

Key features

• Simple operation: The main controls of Retune Speed, Humanize and Flex Tune cover everything from transparent correction to the hard, robotic effect.
• Classic Mode / Modern Mode: Classic Mode recreates the sound of Auto-Tune 5. Modern Mode offers Flex Tune and HQ mode.
• Instant Low Latency / HQ switching: Switch with one touch between low-latency mode for live use and high-quality mode for mixing.
• Visual feedback: Shows how the correction is affecting the vocal, taking the guesswork out of settings.
• Automatic Vocal Range setting / Edit Notes: Leave the vocal range to the plugin, and add or remove notes in the scale with a click.
• Artist presets: Includes presets by Grammy-winning and nominated producers and mixers such as Zedd, DJ Swivel and Jess Jackson.
• Auto-Key 2 support, VST3 / AU / AAX support, native Apple Silicon.

Auto-Tune Hybrid

Auto-Tune Hybrid is a DSP-enabled pitch correction plugin exclusively for Pro Tools. Designed for Avid’s Hybrid Engine technology, it lets you record while monitoring with near-zero latency on Avid DSP hardware such as HDX and Carbon, then switch to native processing and keep working on the session on the go. It includes the Auto-Tune 5 sound via Classic Mode, real-time MIDI control, vibrato control, Flex-Tune and Humanize, and a Basic View / Advanced View switch lets you bring up the MIDI, vibrato and custom scale features only when you need them.

Auto-Key 2

Auto-Key 2 is a plugin that automatically detects the key, scale and tempo of a song. Simply drag and drop MP3, WAV, FLAC or AIFF files to analyze them, and the Send to Auto-Tune button sends the settings to the matching Auto-Tune in one click. Place it on the master bus to sync every Auto-Tune instance in the session, and it also supports automating key changes within the DAW.

AI Vocal Chain (5 Vocal Mixing Products)

Vocal Prep

A one-click AI voice cleaner (standalone app). It removes noise such as hum, buzz, hiss and room resonance in seconds while preserving the character of the voice. It works without a DAW and can load mp3, wav, aiff and flac files, including audio recorded on phones and tablets, making it well suited to cleaning up podcasts and ideas recorded on the go.

Vocal EQ

An equalizer designed specifically for vocals. It features a 6-band fully parametric EQ, low-pass / high-pass filters, an Air band, a Tilt EQ and a spectrum analyzer. Pitch Tracking follows the pitch of the vocal in real time so EQ bands can lock onto the fundamental and harmonics, and Vocal Learning automatically detects the input vocal range (alto, tenor, soprano) so you can start EQing quickly.

Vocal Compressor

An AI-assisted dual-stage vocal compressor. You can combine any two of the four styles (FET, Opto A, Opto B and Modern) in any order, and the AI analyzes the track and suggests optimal compression settings. It also includes a Warm function that adds tube saturation, a Pitch Filter that follows the vocal fundamental for the sidechain, and artist presets.

Vocal De-Esser

An AI-powered de-esser. An AI trained on the characteristics of the human singing voice reduces sibilance at the press of a button. Soft sibilants (S, Sh, Z) and hard sibilants (T, Ch, K) can be controlled separately, and because it processes in real time it can also be used for film and podcast dialogue and live sound.

Vocal Reverb

A plugin billed as the world’s first reverb designed specifically for vocals. It features AI Assist, which builds a reverb when you describe the atmosphere you want, and Auto-EQ, which uses Auto-Tune pitch-tracking technology to automatically reduce reverb muddiness. It offers three algorithms (Hall / Plate / Room), five pre-effects (Pitch, Throat, Tube, De-Esser, Reverse), five post-effects (Tone Shaper, Compressor, Gate, Auto-EQ, Width), two delay types (Mono / Stereo Ping Pong) and artist presets.

Creative Vocal Effects

Metamorph

An AI voice changer that uses ethically trained voice models. Capture a vocal in your DAW, choose a voice model and convert it with one click. Processing is done entirely offline, requires no internet connection, and does not collect user data for AI training.

Key features

• Premium voice models: Created by recording real singers in the studio, with compensation and licensing for each artist clearly stated.
• RVC model import: Load models you create with Voice-Swap or third-party RVC models.
• Vocal Range Matching: Analyzes the input and optimizes it to the range of the model, reducing artifacts.
• Drag-and-drop export: Drop the converted vocal straight onto the DAW timeline.

Auto-Tune EFX+ 10

An edition that combines pitch correction and modular vocal effects in one plugin. In addition to low-latency real-time Auto-Tune pitch correction, it features a multi-effects rack with 13 effects across four movable modules, and Auto-Motion, a pitch-shifting pattern generator that creates melodies in a few clicks. It also includes presets by Aaron Dessner, Bon Iver, Imogen Heap, Richard Devine and others, and works with Auto-Key 2.

Harmony Engine

A plugin that generates harmonies in real time from a single vocal. Up to four harmony voices can each be set for timbre, vibrato, pan and octave, and the built-in Choir technology can multiply each harmony into 2, 4, 8 or 16 voices. You can arrange manually note by note, play it from a MIDI controller, or choose a chord and have it generated automatically, and it also works on monophonic instrument tracks. Works with Auto-Key 2 / Auto-Key Mobile.

Vocodist

A vocoder plugin with built-in Auto-Tune. It includes classic vocoder models and a built-in 8-voice dual-oscillator synth for quickly creating vocoder sounds. Pitch can be controlled by your own voice or a MIDI keyboard, and external sources can be used via the sidechain input. It also has built-in vocal effects such as tube saturation, chorus and ring modulation, and includes artist presets by P-Thugg (Chromeo), Buddy Ross and others.

Choir

A plugin that turns a single monophonic voice into a choir of 4, 8, 16 or 32 voices. Each generated voice has slightly different pitch, timing and vibrato, and you can adjust the amount of variation with Vibrato Variation, Pitch Variation and Timing Variation, and the width with Stereo Spread.

AVOX Vault (9 Products Exclusive to Auto-Tune Unlimited)

Articulator (Digital Talk Box)

A digital recreation of the talk box known from Peter Frampton and Zapp. It extracts formant and volume information from a vocal track and applies it in real time to another audio track or the built-in noise generator. It features formant adjustment using Throat modeling technology and amplitude modulation controls that determine how strongly the effect is applied.

Aspire (Aspiration Noise Processor)

A tool that increases or decreases the breathiness of a voice independently of its harmonic content. It analyzes the vocal in real time to separate the breath component, so you can adjust its amount or apply parametric EQ to the breath component alone to change the texture.

Duo (Automatic Vocal Doubler)

Automatically generates a realistic double track from an existing vocal track. The tone of the double can be adjusted from nearly identical to the lead to sounding like a different person, and the level and pan of the original and the double can be controlled separately.

Mic Mod (Microphone Modeler)

Includes digital models of more than 100 microphones, from vintage mics by Neumann, Telefunken, AKG and others to modern boutique mics. It brings the sound of the mic you own closer to your dream mic, and you can adjust the amount of analog saturation and the settings specific to each mic.

Mutator (Extreme Voice Designer)

A sound design tool for creating inhuman voices like aliens and monsters. Throat modeling and pitch shifting create the basic character of the voice, and it offers 24 mutations using pitch-tracking ring modulation, plus an Alienize function that chops the voice into fine pieces, reverses them and can sync to tempo.

Punch (Vocal Impact Enhancer)

A dynamics processor that combines compression, gain, limiting and overload protection to bring vocals forward in the mix with few controls. It is designed with speed and simplicity in mind.

Slice (Vocal Sampler)

A sampler and synthesizer hybrid plugin that lets you play the voice like an instrument. Advanced transient detection automatically slices and rearranges vocals, or automatically maps them to a controller for playing. It has 14 built-in effects including tube saturation, chorus, ring modulation and vocal doubling, and includes presets and samples by Aaron Dessner, Bon Iver and others. It can also be used on beats and instruments.

Throat (Physical Voice Designer)

A plugin that models the entire human vocal tract, letting you change the character of a voice by altering the vocal cord waveform and by lengthening, shortening, widening or narrowing the vocal tract. It can add breath noise and pitch shift by up to one octave, producing everything from subtle changes to voices beyond the limits of the human body.

Warm (Tube Saturation)

A saturator that adds warmth as if running through a high-quality analog tube preamp. It is optimized for vocals but can also be used on guitars, horns, strings and synths. Crunch Tube provides deep distortion, and Omni Tube applies saturation to the whole signal rather than just the transients. DSP load is very light, so it can be used on many tracks at once.
