Kevin, I like your voice without pitch correction. It's very "Americana" and I wouldn't touch it unless you have an absolutely sour note, which I didn't here in the entire song. Now, there were a few notes after the key change where I might have tuned the background vocals. smile

I work often in Sonar and really like the V Vocal pitch correction. I've spent as much as an hour or more working on tuning the vocal for a song, but that was for people who sang with "pop" country, gospel or rock voices. Voices like that will, for example hit a note and hold it for a while, you hit notes in a speaking manner, rarely holding over a quarter note.

Looking at your graph, you're not as "off" as you interpret. An authentic sounding voice, that is pleasing and natural sounding will usually have the ending of the note in tune or very slightly flat, for example the way your "make" and "me" look. You could, if you wanted to, grab that line for "wonder" and push it up so the end is on the note or slightly above the note. Some producers might want it touched up a little, I wouldn't touch it at all.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
