Compliments of V-Vocal :)

As is the usual case, nine pages of content have not budged anybody's opinion whatsoever, go figure.
 
The choices, in general terms, remain:
 
1.  Retain and use V-Vocal for vocal manipulation
2.  Retain and use some combination of V-Vocal and Melodyne, where appropriate for a given project.
3.  Retain V-Vocal but learn and rely on Melodyne.
4.  Dump V-Vocal and learn and only use Melodyne.
5.  Add many more pages to this thread, leaving no time to use either V-Vocal or Melodyne.
6.  Take singing lessons.
 
I think that about sums up the general options.

By the way, RexRed, I listened to some of your tracks - there are some cool grooves in many of them.  :)

You forgot my favorite option: don't care about it one way or the other.

Yeah, I didn't care about your not caring, so I didn't bother.....  :)

That puts me firmly in the 2. camp 

I stuck with V-Vocal because it worked and I didn't want to have to learn something new. However, I must admit that all changed when I upgraded to Melodyne Editor, which I find way better than V-Vocal or Melodyne Essential. There are two workarounds for things I miss from V-Vocal:
 
1. The pencil tool. If I cut the blob into smaller pieces, the pitch modulation tool can do pretty much the same fixes for which I used the pencil tool, and the sound quality is better.
2. LFO vibrato. After rendering the clip I insert the Sonitus modulator in the FX bin, dial up a vibrato patch, and apply as needed.

 
how did miss this thread  ?

Hey, Bristol - I am a #2 (pencil?), as well, and have kept V-Vocal, and all sorts of other things that had fallen by the wayside, with the exception of the 2 ex-wives.  They were not Windows 8 compatible.

There is the pitch modulation tool that alters vibrato in melodyne editor. Ta.
