If you are checking this thread, then a) you're thinking about pitch correction software or b) you're using it now. Are you using it with PG Software?

I've used GSNAP - a freebie - with mixed results - with my hearing loss, I find I suffer from "pitch drift" when vocalizing, often-times hitting flat and "sliding" up into a note. Yes singing every day can increase vocal control, BUT how can you tell if you're controlling "sharp or flat"???

Since "hearing loss" is in effect "frequency loss", musically that is also "harmonic loss" which means key frequencies in determining correct pitch, are missing. I can't determine a semi-tone + or - without concentrating - sometimes it can be as much as a whole tone which can be helped by playing a whole chord. And I'm talking about doing this WITH hearing aids.

More than you want to know for sure.

So I've determined that I need some heavy duty pitch correction that does NOT rely on the accuracy of my ears in first determining what the wrong notes are.
Graphically I've been trying to demo Melodyne Assistant but three seconds of demo is not much. But I really like the graphics used for their correction processing. Ultimately I need real ears to listen for post correction artifacts. But the tuning graphics are great. GSNAP is more of a challenge to fine tune but it is free. Melodyne is $250+ USD.

Are any of you readers using Melodyne Assistant plugin with RealBand or Powertracks - how's it working for you?
Are you using any of the other major pitch correction plugins with PG Products?? Strengths, weaknesses. I know other DAWS have their own native pitch plugins - let's leave those out OK?
I'll keep using the PG Programs - it's the high-end pitch corr. plugins I'm interested in.

Thanks for reading this . . . double thanks if you've got experiences to share.
