How to Use Auto Tunes on Cool Edit Pro

Cool Edit Pro is a multi-track sound editing application that is specially designed for Windows. The Cool Edit Pro software allows you to open, save, edit and mix audio compositions. The Auto Tune function on the on-board interface merges vocals and instruments into one-track recording, enabling you to obtain a synthesized sound. In order to use the Auto Tune function, you must have a vocal and instrument recording in WAV, MP3, RAW or VOX audio format.
