I’ve used autotune for vocals in the past…and I’ve learnt by my mistakes…but I have to ask…why was your singers vocal so bad, and why did you think it was good enough to stop recording in the first place?

Well, one thing you can do is set it to a really extreme effect, with the smallest attack time, maximum effect, and then slowly back off from there until you get the effect you want without really hearing it (which is the point with auto, mostly).
Nothing like as much control with this as with Poppa's pro software, but at least it's free.
thanks tom that was a good idea it now seems to be working without sounding like a chart song auto tune effect!
maybe i'll try reatune again now aswell mark

ally is not a great singer & doesnt think shes a great singer... her voice wobbles a bit so we always double track her to sort of iron out the bits that arent quiet on pitch
we now only see her evry so often & when we do we have so much to get done we can only spend so much time on each thing were doing
we normally do 4 takes of her for each song but we only have 1 pair of phones & can only hear her singing not the backing track so its hard to know quiet how good shes doing
we only want to correct the odd note here & there with gsnap
Ah I see.
Not sure if Gsnap can do individual notes. You may be better off with a wave editor. I use Wavepad which I had to buy but I’m sure there must be free ones out there.
This way you can zoom in on the waveform and change the pitch or speed on any particular selected part.
Is there not a way to do this on N anyone?

craig i can only find this wavepad as a free download & it doesnt say nothing about being able to correct the pitch of notes??

You can use Gsnap's midi control to change the notes....
But more easily, just make a new track and slice and dice the bits of vocal you want onto the new track and tune those as aggressively as required without affecting the rest of the vocal.
I guess you could do the same thing by automating gsnap using a envelope.
On Reatune's manual mode you can draw in the note you want over the bum note.
I’m with Mark ^ above. Ally’s got a great voice and if you’ve got four takes to snip around with. Yes, Craig, you can copy a selection to a new track and re-tune it in the prop’s.
If the tuning is bad bad, by the time you’ve squared it up with gsnap, it WILL end up sounding pop-ish.

Yes you can zoom in on the part, right click and select 'pitch change'.
I am young at heart and love pizza, promises, and helping.
I spent years trying to make the free ones do a ‘proper’ job - never satisfied me. I’m a control freak when it comes to vocals.
What I love about melodyne also is the harmony capabilities. I did these harmonies in like 10 minutes. Less time than it takes me to hack all the frogs into sync in my throat. Borderline. by the way … naw won’t ask that here… mmm nevermind… (I was going to ask about anyone here dealing with someone diagnosed with Borderline - just so no one takes that wrong…)
If you get in a spot and need a render - let me know. 
Nice
Borderline Your new computer hardware is working pretty nice, as well…
Cough up some hardware specs here… Like the Motherboard, Ram and Drives and all … and tell us what software/sample stuff you’ve moved on to-and-using…
Bill…
