Song Surgeon - any good?

(3rd attempt to post this - posting one line at a time)
 
Anyone try this? -> songsurgeon dot com
 
How does it compare to what we already have? V-Voval, Melodyne Essential, various plugins...
 
It claims to work on complete mixes/songs which the above mentioned devices have trouble with.

    Probably only works on bluegrass music.

    I may download the demo and try some really dense stuff on it. I just can't imagine how the drums wont change pitch on a full mix.

    Just ran the demo.
     
    I did a pitch shift of +4.
     
    The track had guitar, drums and vocal. 
     
    Everything shifted. Even the drums  Which I expected.
     
    Now I will say this, the sped pitched version was pretty clean (caveat: only listening on ear buds).
     
    So then I dropped the speed to 80% (of the original). Still pretty clean. Upped the speed by 7%. Still pretty good.
     
    Final analysis, pretty good tool to learn fast passages or to see if you like a tempo change.
     
    It's $59. I'd pay $29 but no more.

    Great. Thanks Bap, clean is what it's all about. Did you try any formanting to compensate?
     
    If yer game, I'll throw in the remaining $50 for the Pro version. Since it's good for 3 computers we shud be gud ta go!

    sorry, soens, I found your posts.  they were deleted by Akismet (automated spam filter).  it thought you were posting spam.  I should have looked there when you said it wasn't showing up.  you've gotten it posted now, so I'm not going to restore the 3 that got deleted.  next time, send me a PM or something and I'll check the trash.

    I knew it was personal...   but I never post spam. Only baloney! At least you caught it before I was dumped into the compacting truck and hauled away.
     
    Curious as to what it picked up on to make that assumption. I thought it was the link so I spelled it out.
     
    @Paulo: I'd say the ASF used a lot of Audacity to pull this off. To my knowledge though, Audacity doesn't have a formant feature which I need.
