Remember the Cher song with the effect on her voice in "o you believe in life after love?" I hear a lot of new songs with this effect now... but it's a lot more subtle. Enables inexperienced singers to sing on pitch and on key. They also use a lot of this effect in shows to avoid embarrassing false notes. I hear Britney Spears uses it a lot. Anyway, do you know what is the gear used to do that? I could use it. Is there a VST version? I would surely buy the thing. I would appreciate info on this.

Thanks very much!

It can be done in a couple of ways. The Cher tune used a Vocoder but you can mangle audio in just about the same way with Anteres Autotune.

Avp

I purchased the Antares Vocal Producer (AVP) which has pitch correction. There are two parameters of the pitch correction effect. One is key, in which you select the key that you wish to sing in, and the second is speed, which is how fast the circuit detects the off key note and pulls it back to the correct key. With the speed set to zero, the unit will not even allow a voices natural vibrato and will pull all of the notes to the pre selected notes in the Key selected. That is the effect that you are hearing. I goofed around with this some and found that it is nearly impossable to sing while monitoring the effect in the head phones. Your brain self corrects keys by listening to your own voice. In this case your brain is fighting the AVP. But I did find that, with a little practice, and by taking one head phone cuff off, you can actually pull notes like a guitar. Im not a vocalist per-say so I got the unit for post production work. It is fantastic. Is nice to hear me sing on key for a change.
The AVP comes as a Stand alone rack unit or a VSP. I highly recommend it. It cost me around $320.00 with free shipping form KENT music.
