If you still haven't bought into it and are just demoing...you should also check out Waves Tune.
I use the full version, but they also have a LT, "light" version for less money, not sure what the differences are, but they probably list them on the Waves site.
Waves Tune will work inside your DAW like a plug-in...so you can hear all your tracks with the vocal, or you can just solo the vocal track and only hear that. I too would find it annoying to export out the vocal to a separate editor and not be abl;e to hear what I am editing against the music...which is IMO critical for precise tune edits. Sometimes what sounds off by itself is perfect with the music, and vice versa.
You simply run Rewire on any adjacent track, and the Waves Tune will; sync right up with your other music tracks, and the timeline in Waves Tune is also locked to the timeline in your DAW...so moving one or the other...everything is in sync.
Waves Tune is very similar to Melodyne...they each have their quirks and some better points over the other...but in the end, both will get you a similar end result...so it's all about how you prefer to work.
Thank you. I will check that out. Right now I've actually completed one vocal with tracktion 5 and melodyne essential. It worked well once I got it running properly. If I want to go deeper, I just load that AIFF into melodyne 2 and tweek it a little. But as long as I'm in key, I'm happy.
While normal people don't need to be told this, and I've set up computers at work and home, I should have known. After loading the free version of Tracktion every time I'd leave a page I'd have to sign in with my password. Turns out, like every other program known to mankind, you have to restart your computer after activating it. Yep, I am a dumbass.
