I have Melodyne (standalone and plugin) and I also have PT with Elastic and Beat Detective. I use Melodyne mostly to fix vocal stuff but I do use it to fix drum timing and occaisionally to change tempo's of drum performances. It's good but leaves some artifacts and sometimes needs tweaking. Cahnges the quality of the audio too.

I mostly use Logic so I'm not very good at using PT (I use PT to export other people's sessions as OMF files to mix in Logic). If anyone has used both Melodyne and PT's Elastic and/or Beat Detective I'd like to hear their opinion. I saw the demo of Elastic at NAMM and was very impressed but should I spend time figuring out PT to fix and change the tempo of drum tracks? Is it sonically better for this purpose than Melodyne?
