Summary - What I Think Of Waves Tune Real-Time

One must say the Waves Tune Real-Time is a very simple plugin to use. I really like this feature to flatten or sharpen notes that aren't in a scale that really helps to add a little bit more definition to melody lines.

Now this is quite thirsty on the CPU especially at low buffer settings so I think this is a very good plug in for the DigiGrid system.But for native system recording you might have some trouble with it.

My system is here is no slouch but it's no hardcore modern machine either and for this very simple song that I've been using here where it's got no VIs and very few plugins, I've had to set this around 256 samples in my playback engine for best results.

Apart from that I think it's a very cool tool. I'm going to get a lot of use out of this. Go get yourself the demo. Have a go for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below.
