Well I downloaded demos for each of the 3 vocal plugins to see if they work in RealBand.

Autotune, Nectar and Melodyne all showed up and loaded into my VST plugin list. I was able to evoke the plugin and hear real time changes to the audio, which is what I hoped for.

I was most disappointed with Nectar (for my puroposes). It works a lot like Ozone, having a whole integrated set of enhancements that can be used to change the sound of the vocals. I found it to be confusing, MUCH more likely to add unwanted sounds to the track, and the pitch editing was not intuitive to me unless you just let it automate the process (which isn't what I want... I want control to make only the changes I want, not the changes the software thinks I want. Also, Nectar didn't have a way to fix timing issues, which is the MAIN problem I'm hoping to solve.


Autotune's interface is pretty slick; but of the three,I could hear the least change to the track no matter how dramatically I changed the parameters.

All three product videos show audio being edited with blobs that look like MIDI, but only in Melodyne did the blobs occur without having to turn them on. And it wasn't intuitive to me how to turn on the blobs in the other two VSTs

So far, for my needs, the VST version of Melodyne assistant looks most useful. For those who use DAWs with rewire support, it also comes with a rewire plugin; but apparently that isn't supported yet in RB... but the VST *IS* supported, and that's all I needed to know!

Autotune and Nectar come with a 9 day trial, wherea Melodyne allows 30 days. More info after the 30 day trial ends
