I'm wondering if there are any software tools that are good at reducing vibrato. Inexpensive is good, too.

Other than, say "practice" and "breath control".

Pitch correction is very good at correcting wrong notes. It's less good at fixing dramatic pitch "scoops" at the beginning of words. (I've got lots of pitch issues).

Vibrato is another beast entirely. Google indicates that it's often a combination of not just pitch, but amplitude and even tone quality. So simply changing the pitch may not be enough.

With that caveat, are there any good tools for reducing vibrato? I've got a number of sneaky micro-editing things I'm considering. I've also got a demo copy of Melodyne that I haven't tried out yet that may work.

Other than re-recording the part (which is the obviously right thing to do, and what I'll probably end up doing), can anyone suggest a relative inexpensive software based solution?

Thanks!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
