Hi all,
I've never had to use V-Vocal before, but yesterday I tried it
for tightening up a simple backing harmony that sounded a
little shaky.
 
Very intuitive, it just took me 10 minutes, and the result was
right on!
 
It's really nice to have a tool like this in your toolbox.
Kudos!

I am totally old school going back to reel to reel recording and to this day will record a part 3-5 times and just pick the best take. The other day I noticed the track I picked had a note that was off at the end of a verse and before re-recording the track I decided to try V-Vocal before removing the offending track. To my suprise it corrected JUST that note and did it seamlessly.... I'm keeping that track

I have a bass that just doesn't quite tune right... 12th fret is always just a little flat, enough at least for me to notice.  V-Vocal does a nice job with that very subtle fix.  I'll also use it in some leads where I've missed just one note, but I'll generally move that note manually instead of allowing the autocorrect to work.

You need to learn about guitar intonation, my friend.

I haven't used V Vocal yet,but it does disturb me that obviously I could use it on lead guitar parts,BUT DON'T.

I spent a long time learning how to bend strings up to pitch,and also use vibrato as well as I can,to think someone who can't play leads very well,can use V Vocal,just occurred to me and has made me horrified.

V-Vocal is as good as any other pitch correction IMO. I use it all the time for small fixes to great takes, but I do prefer to just get the muso's to sing it right from the start ! :O) Any pitching software gets fatiguing on the ear after a while.

I do not have VV but use Melodyne instead. The secret... if there is one, is to do what has been said here already. Make small changes and it will do a fine transparent job. 

It's when you try to make big changes that things can get squirrley.  

I use my pitch correction on all vocal tracks regardless of how well the part is sung, and I do not hesitate to use it on instruments either if it is called for.  

If you played a really nice inspired solo and grabbed the wrong fret by mistake.....it is an easy thing to fix the occasional wrong note in a solo.

Don't bother using v-Vocal on lead guitars unless it's a clean DI. It gets confused by distortion and is utterly flabberwacked by chorus, delay or reverb.

I love your mastery and use of the technical jargon....  


Melodyne seemed to work OK since I don't recall any issues.

Hehe, this is AFTER having the intonation fixed.  The Bass was a very cheap one.  It's as good as it's going to get.  When I don't head up to the 12th fret, it's actually pretty darn accurate.
