    REAtune, included in Reaper's download packet, is decent. I've used it once before and I, almost categorically, don't use tuning products.

    I've never found Antares Auto-Tune to be useful. Many folks on this 'board would say it's been outmoded by Waves' or Melodyne's plug-ins.

    I don't care much for Auto-Tune either. It sounds very colored to me. I like using GSnap when I have to.

    http://www.gvst.co.uk/gsnap.htm

    It's free, light on resources, and very transparent. A lot of people think it's better than Auto-tune. Even when I do use these types of things, I usually only draw them in during the really off parts and drop them out immediately after. Keeps things sounding more natural.

    This post has been corrected... see below.

    Thats not going to work: pro-tools doesn't support VST plug-ins.

    You either need to find a suitable RTAS plug, or look for a wrapper that will allow you to use VSTs.

    It's hard enough to edit a vocal cleanly with AT or Melodyne, even after you know what you're doing. I tried G-Snap and couldn't really make it work well. Maybe I'm just used to the other two.

    I must be out of touch, I thought Autotune was pretty good. I've been using version 3 for the last 6 years. In just a few seconds I can open it up, set the key, and choose a very slow attack so it only fixes the long notes that tend to drift. The only downside I thought was that it is very resource heavy.

    Can anyone explain why it sounds colored, I don't remember hearing it change the tone at all.

    I don't know about it coloring the audio so much as introducing artifacts, even on the simplest vocals. It's always been a pain to have to go through and painstakingly comb through the file to make sure it's clean. Ugh. I avoid it like the plague. I'll take a cleanly sung, slightly pitchy vocal any day.
