According to Pat Mar's post there may be some decent modules.
Just curious to see if he found one he likes.
I did order a VLT today but always like to hear all the opinions.
Have a good one

"best" is a function of need, and your needs may not be the same as mine.

After evaluating Melodyne, Izotope Nectar, Autotune Evo plus a few freebies, the only one that met my key criteria was Melodyne Editor 2.0 . I chose Melodyne because:
1) it does more than pitch correction (also helps timing, length of note, formant, and more)
2) it works in the same way as moving MIDI notes around, and I already understand that
3) it gives me total control of which notes to move, how much, and whether to move them at all
4) the version I bought works with more notes at a time, chordal stuff not just linear melodies.
5) it does not add any effects
6) it does not work as a plugin with PGMusic products, but it does with many other music products
7) it doesn't add harmonies directly... but you can copy your melody track and drag the notes to a harmonic position, which is tedious but it gives you total control of the harmony.

Most of the other products either did or didn't pitch correct, and didn't give me note by note control. Some added very cool effects such as Nectar.... Ultimately I wasn't looking for pitch correction as much as I was looking for a great cleanup tool that can fix a variety of audio problems (mostly timing) without forcing me to redo the track.


Regarding hardware, I have two TC HElicon Voiceworks rack mounted units. I like this unit for a variety of reasons. It's more complicated to use than some of the others, but it also provides more control and more options. That's important to me. You can get these on Ebay for less than the price of the newer units... which hardware device to get depends on how much of a learning curve you are willing to endure, and whether you want to use MIDI to control it or a stomp box.
