If you own the full version.

Since I'm probably not going to get X3/Melodyne immediately, I guess I'm going to have to keep practicing on my timing and singing in the correct key.

I'll bypass and get some decent musicians to record.

S1 comes with Melodyne Essentials which is the base product that allows for timing and pitch changes. Melodyne Editor offer polyphonic mode among other neat things.

Uh oh, that means The CHB will have to get all new musicians, errrmmmm a bass player I mean.

I hope the Melodyne Essentials (as in X3) gives us all the power and fine control that V-Vocal does/did. I read up on Essentials I while ago and it really didn't seem to offer as many features. In order to get what V-Vocal offered, you had to upgrade to , I think, Editor.

FWIW, I think there are still a few things that VVocal can do better or at least easier, particularly on the timing side of things.  Like the way you can grab a section between markers and stretch/compress at will.   And it does have the pencil tool.  
 
But for pitch correction/editing, and just moving individual notes (aka blobs) around, I find Melodyne to be the better choice.   And it also does some things that VVocal does not (or not as easy).  It's often more accurate/realistic to split the breath or consonant from a word and just adjust the "body" of the wave.  Easy peasy.

I agree, Steve.

Noob question....
 
I already have editor. I use the plugin quite a bit. What are the perks of this integrated version over using the plug? Also, will you still have to launch Melodyne from the fx bin or is different? A dockable view like the PRV maybe??

Perk 1, no more having to "capture" the audio. It's always there immediately upon opening the clip's editor window.
