Please Note: This tutorial provides a general guideline of the steps needed to automate key changes using Auto-Key 2. For DAW-specific automation instructions, please refer to your DAW’s documentation.
After completing the steps below, your Auto-Key 2 plug-in will:
- Set itself to the song’s initial key at the beginning of the song, then send that key to all compatible instances of Auto-Tune.
- Set itself to the new key at the appropriate time of the song, then send that key to all compatible instances of Auto-Tune.
Step 1: Start From the Top
Set the transport in your host to the beginning of your song.
Step 2: Set Automation to Write
Set the host channel containing Auto-Key 2 to automation “write” mode.
Step 3: Set First Key
With automation writing enabled within the host, adjust the key in Manual Mode to the key of the song that is used at the beginning.
Step 4: Send the First Key
With automation writing enabled within the host, click the Send To Auto-Tune button.
Step 5: Move to the Key Change
Set transport to the spot in the song with the key change.
Step 6: Set the Next Key
With automation writing enabled within the host, adjust the key in Manual Mode to match the new key of the song.
Step 7: Send the Next Key
With automation writing within the host, click the Send To Auto-Tune button. If there is another key change in your song, repeat Step 5 – Step 7. Once all key changes have been automated, move on to Step 8.
Step 8: Set Automation to Read
Set the host to read back the automation moves you have recorded.
