Let me put it this way - I did some major tuning to a song a couple of days ago. Lead vocals and four part harmony - almost every note was off. There's only a few places where the tune can really be heard. On top of that, the lead vocalist had a place where he choked on the letter "L" ending a word. He didn't have a word ending in "L" properly anywhere else in the song - so i was able to grab an L from one of the background vocalists, eq it, pitch shift, and volume match it, then cross fade it and make it seem like it belonged. I actually didn't think it was going to work when I first set out.

Point being is that you can do some serious magic bullet work when you have to. But it's EXTREMELY tedious.

Moral of the story - some jobs are best charged by the hour. Oh yeah, and Waves Tune is great. Auto-tune would have sounded all sorts of screwy.

Cool, would you like to post an example of b4 and after?
