Doorknocker, let me clarify my pitch correction situation.

With Auto Tune you are correct. It sounds really bad. I don't use it.

On the other Melodyne really can make a bad performance sound great. No two ways about it. I do it all the time. And like most things it's not just Melodyne, but how I use it. It's a skill. I understand that many engineers are not skillful enough to make a horrible vocal sound great with Melodyne.

Don't get me wrong, if a great singer comes in I wouldn't think about pitch correcting them.

But with your standards many of the number 1 hits of the last 10 years would've been kicked out the door. I'm not talking about losers who want to pay $200 for a great album. I'm talking about almost ALL of the big hits from this decade.

It's all about the composition and the end result. I couldn't care less about a musicians physical abilities. In the end, if they can't play it, I usually play it for them. No big deal.
