Antares Auto-Key is an automatic key and scale detection plug-in that supercharges your Auto-Tune workflow. At Sweetwater, we know that selecting the correct key and scale for your music is a vital component of effective pitch correction, and Auto-Key streamlines this process, saving you valuable time in the studio. It’s also great for choosing samples and loops that match the key of the song you're working on.
Instantiate Auto-Key on a track to analyze your music in real time — or upload an audio file for quicker-than real-time analysis. Auto-Key automatically detects and displays the key and scale of the song, as well as a tuning reference frequency. The onscreen keyboard also illuminates to display detected pitches. Click the Send to Auto-Tune button, and compatible Auto-Tune versions are automatically updated with the appropriate key and scale settings. Even if you already know the key and scale, Auto-Key bolsters your workflow by letting you conveniently set the key and scale for multiple instances of Auto-Tune with a single click.
