reaper has reapitch

AutoTune EFX is only 91 GBP, you're looking for less?

Nice one on the Reaper reccomendation, still only making music on a personal level so could get the discounted licence for $60, guess thats around £40 atm and then rewire it into Live. oooo.
That Auto-tune EFX looks cool too, demos sounded ok.
Shame theres not any audio demons on the Reaper website (that i could find) for the RePitch effect. Will just have to download the demo and try it out myself.
niceone. :)

welcome :)

I don't own reaper, so I unfortunately can't comment on the reapitch or reatune quality. they use the elastic pro 2 algorithm though, so def worth a try. Yeah, you should be eligible for the discount price - so, good luck!

hence looking for an alternative. ;)
the last thing i want is that stupid god aweful t-pain sound, I just want something that can nicely pitch correct. All women who get Auto-tuned sound the same for somereason - cant work out if thats a result of all using Auto-tune or just the digital processing.

I fear a full Auto-Tune licence would cost less than singing lessons for my voice.

what about the melodyne plug-in... it's cheaper than the studio and Cre8 version.. plus i think if you buy now, you get a free upgrade to DNA when it comes out.. I have autotune but since I got melodyne, I haven't touched it since..

You could plead your case to the Gregory brothers for help.
