don't get me wrong, the technology is AMAZING, and for composing, practicing, learning, and arranging purposes, it is OUTSTANDING - but it's not going to replace backup singers in any sort of recording you would want to 'sell'.





even though I have 2 voiceworks units (love 'em, I'm also a voiceworks evangelist) I don't use them for recording. They are great for live presentations because they work in real time, and are rack mountable with other gear that you drag to and from gigs.

For recording, I get MUCH better results by just singing all the parts, then using Melodyne to clean up any timing or tonal discrepancies between the parts. Melodyne provides so many ways to control and manipulate recorded audio that it isn't even a fair comparison to recording with a hardware unit that adds one or two benefits.
