Please, please, please make the editing window in Waves Tune sizeable. Its current fixed size is restricting and requires too much scrolling and zooming.

I want them to overhaul the interface in general, this is among my requests too.
The more people that make enough noise about it, the more likely they will be to make the changes.

+1. Everywhere you read about shootouts of tuning plugins, waves tune consistently gets high marks for transparency and audio quality but almost everybody calls out the interface as being almost unusable due to the size restrictions. I’ve recently purchased it and after spending time with it I agree with these sentiments 100%. Please please add sizing options. Even if it’s not fully/dynamically resizable, could we have a x1.5 or x2 option to get some more width and height in the edit window?

To be honest I avoid using WavesTune myself, because of the UI. RT I don’t mind and use that sometimes for a bit of light to moderate processing. Things like background vocals that don’t require any large degree of attention and detail
But yeah, if they updated it WavesTune with a better UI and ARA support, I sure as hell would use it. Especially if Waves came up with their own answer to Melodyne’s polyphonic DNA tech.
There’s a similar post regarding this feature for all Waves plugins. I can’t post the link. Search for “Requesting resizable Plugin Windows”
Resizable GUI is my nightmare for the Waves Tune window. It makes the workflow really slow

Waves Tune needs a UI update more than any other plugin.
The tool is simply too good to go to waste, but I really do find it unusable in its current size. The update doesn’t even need to be fancy – if the window could just be resized it would make a world of difference.
I use Waves plugins on a 4k monitor. Everything could probably use a 4k update, but it is critical for this UI more than any other… so this feature request probably deserves to stand on its own.
Thanks for calling attention to it. This is the kind of thing that makes the Waves Update Plan worth it to me. The Renaissance UI update was really nice, and I’m hoping for this one next.
Well I’d also that IR1 is desperate for one too as it’s menu system is insidiously evil.

Had me excited for a moment, I thought it was IR1 you fixed.
Still have excited, it’s just a different type of excitement. 
Waves Tune looks UGLY when resizing the window to 150%
Agreed. It looks like a crude magnification of a lo-res bitmap image; not a true resizable vector graphic.
Agreed also. However, I believe they are looking into improving rendering across the board. Now would be a good time to send in any feedback to Tech Support to help them improve the user experience.
I use this for live broadcast mixing and now the Controls window is HUGE!? I have 10 singers all running real tune and now I will have to add a Third screen just for those plugins by themselves WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY… ok rant over.
From what I understand they are working on a better scaling solution for plugins. They just have a lot of things on the go at the same time and a huge catalogue of plugins that all need addressing.
Unless I’m mistaken.

I actually found a solution that doesn’t require me to have all of them open to change the key. There is a send to all button now that I didn’t have before so I only have to have one open to change them all. Which is what I’ve been wanting for a long while. I still had v12 and was forced to upgrade to v15 so I think some where in the middle of all those versions they added that or I was completely oblivious to it on v12.

The op picture is v12 and it does not have the send to all button
Since you already bumped this old post I want to add to it!
Waves’s Tune technology is surprisingly good. To my surprise, I finally compared it with Antares and I actually preferred Waves. I was like, “Whew, I don’t have to make that purchase now!”
Waves Tune Realtime, as you know, is a different product from Waves Tune. A lot of people who use it don’t realize you can route midi into it… And when you do that, you can selectively override whatever it’s doing automatically. This is VERY powerful.
The older “Waves Tune” product is badly in need of a UI overhaul. It needs a properly resizable Window. (Not just scaling.) And there are some weird UX issues with the shortcuts & undo that could be improved…
But the underlying tech itself is still good so I hope they update the product at some point! Its an important tool considering their goal is to have a package product that solves all needs.

Since ARA has been broken in Logic I went back to using Logic FlexPitch and WavesTune RT for realtime processing.
Logic surprisingly compares well up against RX when it comes to time manipulation, as long as you’re working with the right algorithm. But its pitch transposition isn’t has strong. Mind you, I haven’t test it in Logic 11 yet.
If you are just fine tuning the pitch Logic stands up well. It’s not until you start transposing it to create artificial harmonies is when it starts falling apart. To be honest though, Id rather record harmonies manually anyway. So in the end there isn’t too much need for a product like Melodyne. Not in my case.
