I haven't heard any software harmonizer that works well enough to be used prominently in a mix, that said Melodyne Editor IMO does the best job though not automatically.

Antares Harmony Engine does a pretty good Job...even the EFX version...

It's not GREAT, but it will pass...if done right...as Zo pointed out..

I used that on this song in parts. Is it as good as having good singers do it? No!!! Was I happy with the mediocre results (based on my poor singing abilities)? Ya.

I have the EFX version. I did not know there was a different version. Hmmmm. Yet another plug for Bapu to buy?

I mis-spoke (mebee)? I have the full AVOX Evo package (which includes the Harmony Generator).

I did some beta testing for Zplane Vielklang 2 (I have an old version which I really don't use anymore).
But the testing was fun and the new product was a great improvement.
It will (with time and practice) produce something you could bury in a mix - but if you listen to it on its own it does not sound great.
All in all if you need harmonies this will work.

I bought version 1 for like $20 IIRC. Was not that impressed. I upgraded to version 2 awhile back for $39. I'll need to give that one a whirl. If it's a loser I've spent more on dinner for two so I won't feel too bad.

I did all these harmonies from one vocal with Melodyne.

The original vocal is a little noisy so try to get past that.

Melodyne is the holy grail IMO..

I have used melodyne to do some harmonies.... it does it well and unless you get radical, there are no artifacts.

CM has a version of Vielklang 2 for free with the mag this month. Seems it's the LE version, normally costing $89 (http://www.bestservice.de/en/vielklang_le.html) so I'll put this in Deals as well.

I have the AVOX 4 version of the Harmony Engine. It's quite good at inventing harmonies from a single vocal.

Then there's iZotopes Nectar 2 which isn't too foul either.
