Back to the OP.

Melodyne only works well on voices if the wave forms are simple enough. Otherwise, it can sound horrible. I have the latest version of Melodyne Studio—that's the high priced version. Many senior citizen voices cannot cannot use it all.

The only correct answer I can give is that it depends on the source material what I will use and when.
