paulo, an internet connection is not mandatory, at least not for the full version. 

Thanks for the info bitflipper - still means I can't actually try the demo though. Never mind, I'm sure I'll find something else to buy before long ;)
 
 

TBH, I don't use Melodyne all that much. I've become very selective about what I pitch-correct. Often it's only a note or two, which V-Vocal can handle more conveniently. 

Where Melodyne makes my day is when I'm doing tight multipart harmonies, and then I use it more for level matching and phrasing than for pitch correction. It never ceases to amaze me how difficult it is to make a vocal worse with Melodyne.
paulo, if you record singers you won't regret getting it. Those singers will love you for it, too.

Xactly.

I was using Essential for the past year with Studio One.  I just upgraded to Editor for $149 thru Melodyne.  Get Essential and learn the basics and then upgrade.  Editor is awesome!

Ol' pal, you trying to get to 10,000 posts as quickly as possible?

Go ahead, say it again.

I don't record singers - I record me "singing" which is not really the same thing and I need all the help I can get. Maybe I'll just take the plunge on the full version one day when funds permit as I have learnt to trust your advice. Does this mean that I will love myself though? ;)

Don't we all! Even good singers tend to be very nit-picky when mixing their own voices. With Melodyne you can be as nit-picky as you want. The hard part is knowing when to stop, before you've Melodyned the life right out of the performance!

I'm am so out of the scope of Melodyne, although I've found that running an angle grinder through a steel girder while I'm tracking improves my vocals greatly.
 
I don't know why that would work but I swear it does.
 
I've tried all the pitch correction solutions known to man but they all throw the same error message that says "Your Mic appears to be connected but we cannot determine what to at this time".
