Would I use it on someone that can't sing ? NO WAY, it's a waste of time and effort.

It's true, melodyne is very good when paired with someone who can sing (at least a little). I suppose you could correct someone horrible but it would take hours and hours and it's not going to sound natural at all.

I don't know if any of you have tried this but melodyne is an EXCELLENT way of de-essing vocals; you can bring the highs up to get that nice cottony sound without it being harsh or sibilant. It took me awhile to get the hang of it but I was able to get a nice breathy sound on my last tune.

Peace,

If it has strings I will find a way to play it!
