I'm with you there, Dr Dan! My pocket money doesn't stretch too far for FX and plugins, so I've started dabbling with manual pitch correction using ReaTune in Reaper to correct long-hold notes which is where I can go a bit off-pitch. I don't go overboard because I like to think that my listeners will say 'That sounds like Andrew', and if ever I play live for fam and friends, that expectations won't be unnecessarily increased too high! LOL.

ReaTune is pretty cool. I've found that it I do a gentle adjustment then copy and past that same adjusted plugin a couple or three times under itself you'll get a gentle stage by stage adjustment.
I don't have a VST/Plugin budget so I use Reaper native & freebies. I've managed to reduce my total number of plugins to a group I use frequently & a group I use occasionally. There're about six non Reaper ones in that bundle and all gratis.

Cheers
