Yes... Melodyne is not cheap.... but it is the best out there for doing transparent pitch correction. You can keep it real while still getting pitch perfect or close....I often use ME to correct... but NOT perfectly. In Dust on the Floor, it was used on the vocals but there's a few notes that I actually needed to place at -10 cents rather than dead on the pitch. Used properly, you lose none of the emotion and add no artifacts and get a vocal track that sounds really good.



Most of the time... with a good singer such as yourself, the difference is not a major difference. However, if you're releasing the song or using it to demo, then you want it to be presented in the best light. As picky as my ears can be on pitch, the industry folks are often more discerning.

Even the best of singers can not hit every note perfectly. Rather than trying to punch record the flaws, ME lets you fix some pretty bad mistakes.... not only pitch, but timing issues, and vibrato....increase or decrease vibrato, as well as pitch drift. Some singers like to slide into a note.... or out of a note.... that can be fixed as well.
