Auto Tune doesn't perform formant correction, so it sounds Donald Duck if you pitc a lot, but the sound quality is a trillion times better. I've used Melodyne on a few problem productions, and i had to manually replace the bad sounding parts back to the original. Took me days. And yes, i know how to use it. The idea is great, but algorithm's suck. This thread should be at "Music Computers", certainly not High End, sorry.

I've experienced this also...But its stupid easy to fix. All you have to do is look at the line where the ess or plosive is and make a break where the actual NOTE is, and tune the note, not the ess. Therefore, the ess remains in its original "pitch, " and the note is tuned. Problem solved.
