Auto-Tune EFX vs. V-vocal

I don't use Melodyne, but Im sure there are many users on here who run it with total success with Windows XP. Maybe it's a configuration problem.

Also, I use V-Vocal with great success and minimal to zero artifacts, but you do have to be careful with it.

It really needs a clean, mono audio file to work with, preferably split up into smaller clips.

HTH

Do it in smaller sections/clips and in the long run you'll avoid some headaches. Edit a section, bounce, edit next section.

It's the same with the other pitch correctors, too. It's best to edit in portions so small, that you can bounce before closing the project, so you don't need to leave an active pitch corrector in the project. It may cause problems when you come back to the project.

I assume the standalone versions are  a little more tolerating (????).

I'm not an expert, but obviously the way these VSTs operate is so complex that the risk of hiccups is much, much bigger than in doing more simple edits.

I tried the demo version of Melodyne Editor, but could not make it work correctly with my XP Pro system within Sonar. (They recommend Windows 7.) Thanks.

I'm a melodyne user at home and the studio. At home I'm running windows XP 32 bit abd I have perfect performance with melodyne editor.


p.s auto tune and v-vocal are a joke compared to melodyne!
