Tune
Tune performs pitch correction of vocals and other instruments with a new level of transparency. In addition, Tune allows you to change individual notes or entire melodies as easily as manipulating MIDI notes, while Tune's formant correction provides completely natural-sounding results. Tune features a familiar "piano-roll" interface which displays the original pitch, the corrected pitch and individual notes, offering intuitive and flexible operation.
Waves Tune Features:
- Work in perfect sync with your host and do all your editing from within the Tune interface without being bound to a specific section of your track.
- ReWire lets you listen to your edits in real-time, together with the rest of your tracks, starting playback from any timeline position.
- Formant corrected pitch processing results in natural sound, with an astonishing new level of transparency and no audible phase shift.
- Tune features powerful yet extremely easy-to-use editing tools and a totally intuitive piano-roll screen.
- The large, user-friendly display is easy to use and navigate and the superior Zoom Tool lets you know exactly where you are at all times.

- Export MIDI files to double your vocal parts using your favorite synth or sampler, or to create note-for-note transcriptions.
- Choose from dozens of standard and exotic scales, or set and save custom scales with amazing flexibility.
- Tune is completely compatible with multiple hosts, so you don't need more than one version of Tune.
DeBreath
Breathing is something singers seem to insist on doing, even when it spoils a perfectly good take. DeBreath is a revolutionary new plug-in that lets you not only eliminate those breaths, but also lets you turn them in your favor, using them for new creative effects. DeBreath automatically reduces or removes breath sounds on vocal tracks. DeBreath employs a unique template-matching algorithm that detects breath segments and separates them from the main vocal, so breath sounds can be reduced or eliminated without affecting the rest of the signal. Room tone can also be added to compensate for its loss where breaths are removed or reduced.
Because DeBreath can be used to separate a vocal track into two elements, one containing only voice and the other only breaths, each can be processed differently, for the emotional effects of breathing to be enhanced with additional processing if desired. In addition to cleaning up singers' tracks, DeBreath is also an effective time-saving tool for engineers working with voice-over and spoken-word record
