auto tuner recommendations?

[Sean]

Hey all. I'm working on a remix for a guy who doesn't sing so well....doesn't profess to be much of a singer either. He does Weird Al style parody music. Anyway, as I've been adding in backing instruments, his out0of0tuneness is becoming more and more glaring. Does anyone have any good recommendations for auto tuning software, ideally that can work easily in conjunction with Reason?

Thanks!

BUMP!

Seriously....I could really use a recommendation....

Antares Auto-Tune 5

It's a VST plugin, but if you Rewire Reason into a program like Cubase that won't be a problem. It's pretty expensive though, $ 399.

That Antares plug is the industry standard. It can be kind of tricky to use if you don't know what you're doing though. It sounds the best if you use is manually as opposed to automatically.

That's what I was afraid of. I actually came across Antares, but was hoping there'd be something else a little cheaper for right now. Guess he'll just have to deal with being out of tune for now!

Thanks guys!

You could always find a free version from some less than reputable site.

You might want to look at Celemony's Melodyne. It allows one to do much more than AT. You will need to invest some time into it though.

Since V3 AT has become unused in my studio, melodyne being the best I know of...

Btw, Cher used the Auto-Tune in 'Believe', although the producers didn't want to admit at first that they used a single plugin for that voice effect

I haven't used Melodyne yet but I've seen it in action and it is definitely better than AT. That would be your best bet.
