Critic Reviews

Antares ATR1a Autotune Intonation Processor

soundonsound.com

The Antares ATR-1A brings exciting enhancements to an already well-regarded pitch correction tool. Its new MIDI functionality streamlines the process of setting scales, while improved pitch tracking makes it more versatile, especially for bass instruments. Users can expect natural-sounding results from their fretless bass parts. However, the upgrade may not justify the investment for everyone, particularly for those who are satisfied with the original ATR-1. Despite its cosmetic updates, the ATR-1A may feel like a modest step rather than a revolutionary leap. For existing ATR-1 owners, the cost-effective upgrade option is a big win, but newcomers should weigh the benefits against their specific needs.
