Pat,

I have found if one loves to sing, they should try a karaoke type of site that allows feedback. Singing on a semi-daily basis and being critiqued DOES help us to understand what other people are hearing in our voices.

I have used Singsnap for a few years now and it has helped my tone and pitch immensely. I have also listened to people who appeared to be tone deaf actually sing on key and in pitch after a few months of singing there. It does work for most people, singer or not. I have witnessed it myself with a few close friends there.

Pitch correction should only be used as a last resort, IMO. Practice, practice, practice is GREAT advice for us wannabe singers.

To say that a musician should only use pitch correction as a last resort is somewhat like saying that a vocalist should only use backing tracks as a last resort.

I *don't* love to sing and I have no burning desire to be a singer. I'm an instrumentalist. To me, vocals are a necessary evil if I want to record music, just as background music is a necessary accessory for people who want to sing.. Why is it that the singers have no problem using software to create their entire band... yet I get called a cheater if I play 5 out of 6 instruments on my own song, then use pitch correction to help me with my weak spot? (at least I *AM* singing and not cutting and pasting clips of a professional singer into my song)

We all play to our strengths and fill in the rest with whatever solutions are available.

I have to admit, the last place I would expect to hear such resistance to using a canned solution is on the BIAB forum! Everybody here uses one or another solution that keeps them from having to do every single part of their songs!

I'm not ranting at you, Trax... I just don't understand the double standard on this topic
