### Understanding Voice Effect/Type in Auto-Tune 5

In Auto-Tune 5, there are three main vocal types you can choose from depending on the pitch range of your recording: Soprano, Alto/Tenor and Low Male.

#### Matching Your Recording with the Right Vocal Type Setting:

1. Before starting to work on a new track in Logic Pro X (or whatever DAW you're using), play back the initial take through speakers or monitor headphones so that you can get an idea of what kind of pitch range we're dealing with here.

2. Now open up Auto-Tune 5 within your project window and locate 'Pitch' under 'Effects/Processing.'

3. From this menu select either Soprano, Alto/Tenor or Low Male depending on how high pitched the singer sounds in comparison to these three options.

#### Adjusting Pitch Amount:

1. Once you've selected the correct vocal type for your recording, now it's time to adjust the amount of pitch correction needed.

2. In Auto-Tune 5 go back into 'Pitch' and turn up or down the slider labeled 'Amount' until you hear a smooth transition between notes without any unwanted wobbly artifacts creeping in.

In conclusion, achieving professional-sounding results with your music productions requires attention to detail throughout every step of post-production workflow - including setting up Auto-Tune 5 correctly.
