Antares Audio Technologies is a music software company based in Scotts Valley, California, founded in 1990 by Dr. Harold "Andy" Hildebrand. A former research scientist who had applied digital signal processing to seismic data interpretation in the oil industry, Hildebrand pivoted to music technology and released early DSP-based products including MDT, JVP, and SST before introducing Auto-Tune in 1997.

The company is best known as the developer of Auto-Tune, a pitch correction processor that became an industry standard in vocal production and also spawned the distinctive hard-tuned vocal effect heard across pop, hip-hop, and R&B. Its product line centers on vocal processing plugins, including Auto-Tune Pro, Auto-Tune Artist, Auto-Tune EFX+, Auto-Tune Unlimited (a subscription bundle), Harmony Engine for vocal harmonization, Mic Mod for microphone modeling, and a suite of vocal-focused EQ, reverb, and effects tools. Products are delivered as AAX, VST3, and Audio Units plugins for major DAWs.

Antares markets its tools primarily to recording engineers, producers, and vocalists, and the Auto-Tune name has entered broader cultural vocabulary as shorthand for pitch correction in general.

Antares has 55 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Vocal Processing Plugins, Pitch Shifter Plugins, and Effects Processors. Their gear is featured by 81 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Hip Hop. Notable users include Travis Scott, Mike Shinoda, and Justin Vernon.
