Are there other choices for some of that Antares software? I like the pitch correction in Cubase 5. I think it is really quite good. I thought would give that harmony stuff a try. I remember paying for a mic modeling way back and thinking it was the biggest waste of money I had ever payed out. Any thought on any of the harmonizer stuff would be great.

I don't know about dedicated hamonizers per se, but Melodyne has a function that allows to make nice vocal harmonies. It slightly randomises the beginnings, endings and micro variations of the vocal line. So you just have to duplicate the original, create harmonies and play both lines together. This is the most convincing effect I heard. Very natural result. You can really hear a second person sing; I hjaven't tried it with more than a single harmony line, but it is sure useful when you want to double a singer that is long gone from the studio. Huey

Like Huey I use Melodyne for pitch correction. For vocal harmonies that won't break the bank, I really like the Digitech Vocalist Live Pro...the multiple outs mean I can route the main and harmony vocals to their own individual tracks. Very flexible and highly configurable...up to 4 part harmony and because it is following the guitar, the harmonies do not have to be pre-programmed or do not have to follow a specific key. Send the guitar track into the unit and sing. Indeed, you can plug the guitar diretly into the unit and it works so well, I've made it part of my live gigs...Now I just have to nail about 15 more compositions on the RC50 and I can fire my band. As an added bonus, the main vocals can be colored by different character settings and the preamp is really quite nice including a few Lexicon verb and delays.

The melodyne style correction that is - Pretty sure it's easy to create harmony's using this also... I've used it for time and pitch correction with good recults although I'm not entirely used to the interface - I found melodyne awesome when I trialled it but would like to keep my pitch and time correction within C5 for simplicities sake

IMHO, every tool has its limits. HTH, CS

I've used it for time and pitch correction with > good recults although I'm not entirely used to the interface - I found > melodyne awesome when I trialled it but would like to keep my pitch > and time correction within C5 for simplicities sake I really hate those tune things as sort of a built in personality trait but for the hell of it I took a scratch track and ran it through the auto tune deal in cubase 5. I was actually really surprised to how nice it sounded. It was really hard to hear it working, just heard the results. It was so good that I went into the edit mode and started playing, which again is against my nature. I know most people here are real computer heads but I use the stuff because I have to. ANYWAY, the features were really straight forward. I figured it out without instructions and if I can do it, anyone can. There are a few things like warping that I don't get and I'll someday have to break down and read about but tuning the nots was duck soup! When it was all said and done, I actually decided to keep the scratch track. One take, no punches and meant to be a scratch track is now going to be the lead vocal on a guitar/vocal CD. That is a pretty hard thing to get to sound right with just one guitar and one voice. I have to admit my mindset is completely reversed on the subject. I can really see the use for the tool and actually really like the way it sounds. Not to toot my own horn but some of what made it right was that the track had feel and was not that far out of tune. The tune was many years old and I've been singing it for all those years. I'm also 46 and have been singing live and in studios since I was 13. This may not work as well or as fast for someone will less experience but it will do something for just about everyone. Man if my vocal coaches could here my now they'd likely kill me..... on the other hand, if I had this then they would have been out of a job
