How To Use Autotune In Studio One 3

Studio One 3 comes with Melodyne Essentials which is probably ok for most peoples use when correcting a singers vocals. I was wondering what others use, upgrade to Melodyne Editor or are there different options?
I'm thinking what might be best specifically for the task of polishing vocals, not so much for wild effects.

Assuming a singer is just a little sharp or flat here or there, I'd often just tune it inline with the cents parameter, the normal track parameter. It works pretty well but (obviously) has no visual guide unless you insert a tuner plugin on the track.
Things like Melodyne are much faster when the job is bigger and things are kinda out of tune all over the place and/or you need to repitch some phrases for other reasons, but if a singer just went a wee bit off in a couple of spots I'd often just split that word and tune it with the cents parameter.

I've never used it but the Waves Tune LT plugin is on sale right now for only $29. It looks like it is pretty much their version of Melodyne Essentials.
If you want an upgrade to that one, then their Vocal bundle is on sale for only $69 and it includes both Waves Tune LT and Waves Tune (their full version.) You also get some other very useful plugins in the bundle and Waves Tune by itself is on sale for the same price of $69.

I have Waves Tune LT and Melodyne but pitch correction can be something you are doing to fix a stray note, or you do it as an effect (the whole autotune thing). I'm a big kpop fan and write electro pop music so I like both. For the radical stuff I use KeroVee which is freeware Autotune. To fix the strays, I typically use Melodyne but a missed note is sometimes a stray note but more often the inflection before it. That needs more radical levels of tuning.

I have Melodyne Studio. For the type of music I do the vocals are so important, and I like having all the flexibility it offers, although Essentials is a great starting point.

I moved up to Melodyne Editor. But it's also handy to have on-the-fly retuning, whether it's for vocals or audio samples, so I invested in iZotope Nectar 2 Suite. It's a nice little box of tricks that can also spice up, say, a synth patch or a drum loop. I've also got the free Computer Music version of zplane's vielklang, useful for creating harmonies on the fly, but since Nectar does that anyway, it doesn't get a lot of use.

Thanks guys, Lawrence, splitting and using the cents parameter, I've never done that but will give it a try, could be useful. Just checked prices on Melodyne $849.00 ($1064.00 Aud) for Studio, $499.00 (625.00 Aud) for Editor. Congrats to Bill and Bbd for keeping Celemony afloat with their contribution but for me, these prices are well above what I would be prepared to pay for a single plugin. Even if I get my little boutique recording studio happening in the future, still cannot see me paying these prices, there are many other things to buy.
Essentials is no good for me as you have to connect to the internet to activate it which I don't do on my DAW, Editor and Studio I think can be activated off-line but they are to expensive for me and I cannot see that I would ever spend that money for a plugin even with a small studio.
Izotope Nectar 2 looks promising, still $349.00Aud, Garry, that vielklang was a good score, asking price now $200.00 Aud.
The use of these tools to create harmonies to vocals on the fly is something that is of interest to me. Not so I can have artificial sounding harmonies to put on the track but rather as a testing environment, find some good harmonies quickly that work in the song and then rerecord them for better quality.
SynchroArts Revoice Pro looks interesting but still $657.00 Aus, they also have a rent to buy plan.
Given the price of these plugins, I am surprised Presonus hasn't jumped on the bandwagon and created it's own pitch correction program.
Darren, WavesTune LT looks a little bit crippled in features for me if it was my only choice, but WavesTune full at $69.00 is looking good. Seems to get good reviews and applauds for transparency in polishing vocals. Only criticism seems to be the small editing window that cannot be resized. A number have commented on this. Wow! I see what you mean, a bundle including other vocal stuff is available for the same price $69.00 ($86.00 Aud), a de-esser, de breather, doubler and channel strips.
Not sure how it goes with harmonizing though.
Thanks, guys, getting there.....

I just remembered another one that's probably within your price range. MAutoPitch, part of the MFreeFX Bundle from MeldaProduction. It's free.
It corrects pitch live, so you can put it on your vocal track and alter the Depth and Speed knobs to taste. Or, to create a pitch-corrected waveform, do the above then bounce it in place and remove the MAutoPitch afterwards. You can even drop it on the input so you record your vocals in tune. Is there no end to its talents? Well, yes. That's about it.
But there's a lot of other very useful stuff in the bundle.

I was also just about to mention Melda Productions' MAuto pitch.. not bad for a freebie, and very easy to use.
As Gary said, it's part of a bundle. So if you do grab the free bundle, take note: When installing, you will come to a screen that lets you choose which plugins to install. Every plugin by Melda is listed, both free and paid. If you install them all, the paid ones will begin a 15 day demo. And then all the demos run out before you try them. So click ' Choose None' to uncheck everything, then click 'Free Plugins' to activate only the free ones.
* You can later demo the paid plugins one by one if you like.

Most people that have Melodyne Studio, that I've seen online, got it at crazy low upgrade prices. .unless you were a full fledge studio as a main business. We just went thru that period with black Friday sales after Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays. Most Sonar owners that had essential, which came with their flagship program, saw at one point or two, an opportunity to upgrade to Studio for about $150 from their Essential. I think an Editor upgrade was like $99 and it made sense just to get Studio. That was right when the latest version of Studio was released as well..back then. It was kinda a no brainer if you had the $150 to spend as the program is powerful with what you can do.. polyphonic algorithms probably being Melodyne's latest/biggest advancement with their software. There was some crazy 'harmonic' editing capabilities too, but unless you were really wanting to get creative with 12 string guitar sounds and the like, you'd probably use it once to see what it is..then never again. I use the polyphonic algorithm all the time to correct a poorly or out of tune chord .or even change it to another chord.

The Studio Edition is just simply Killer IMO. You take multiple Vocal tracks and edit to your hearts delight. Awesome tool for Vocal editing among many other great features. Like Bbd stated. Slowly build to it by buying upgrades when on sale or other means )
