I was previously exposed to melodyne as a standalone app, and I didn't like the hassle of exporting a track,altering it in Melodyne, then bringing it back into the project at the right place.

I notice that most of the pitch correction programs now come as plugins, and I'd like to hear from anybody who is using any of them in that way. I'm most interested in hearing about Melodyne, Autotune, TCHelicon and Izotope Nectar. If you've used any of these as a plugin, I'd like to hear your thoughts about how easy or difficult it is to change the audio without having to leave RB.

I'm not asking anybody to go into research mode, as I can do that myself... problem is, the ads don't tell me the stuff I want to know.. My first learning tactic, before investing a lot of time researching the bottomless pit of things I don't know yet, is to ask in hope that somebody I know has already been down this road.

Nectar looks particularly interesting, but it costs more than the others. Best product for me would be one that lets me make non-destructive edits inside the host program, with the ability to manually tweak the notes in terms of pitch, duration, throat modelling, vibrato... even t-pain effect

thoughts?
