pitch correction for vocals
Has anyone tried Gsnap or Antares Auto Tune for vocals? Are they any good? I want something easy . . but cheap.

Why not just use V-Vocal?

Have you tried V-Vocal - they don't come any cheaper than zero bucks!

I use V-Vocal mostly in the graphical mode to touch up a note or two, but it is possible to get the "hard correction" effect. Unfortunately the way the documentation tells you how to obtain that sound is not correct, but this article I wrote for Sound on Sound tells you how. For doing transparent pitch correction, here's another article.

Read Craig's articles before you start messing around with it
When you do start, save your project regularly, preferably with some sort of file-versioning happening so you can easily revert to a clean slate.

I like Melodyne much better than V-Vocal for both usability and results. That said, I have used V-Vocal on a couple of records and it was fine.

V-Vocal works great for pitch corrections and it can even give that "Cher" effect if you want it. If you're correcting a few notes here and there, its totally transparent. If you have to correct a whole track, get a new vocalist. :) I have a track published on SoundCloud and I use V-vocal on a few notes.

I think I may have worked with that vocalist too  . I feel your pain. One other tip: I've used V-Vocal a lot with bass, they seem to get along quite well. I use it mostly to add slides and expressiveness to synth bass parts, but remember that it only works with monophonic lines.

Melodyne is WONDERFUL. It makes V-Vocal look like a model T. The high end melodyne ($400) can do some really slick stuff with non-vocal stuff as well - how about recording an acoustic guitar, then reaching in via Melodyne and moving a single note - even if several strings were played at the same time. I don't know how it can do that but Lordy it works. It's also possible to try different melodies in Melodyne. You can move notes a half dozen steps easily. V-Vocal is a 2 half steps at most, usually 1 half step. I've taken a lead guitar part and changed it on the fly with melodyne. People who think melodyne is vocal correction software only are just unaware of what it can really do. (Again, the high end version only...)

it does work extremely well. It is crystal (no artifacts) when used properly. Editor rocks

Thanks for all your suggestions, everyone. I just need to correct a few notes here and there. So V-Vocal seems like it will do the trick.
I appreciate all the help!
