Hi Julien and folks
There is an old trick to help to "tune" vocals. You replicate your vocal
track twice. In one of the copies you add a LADSPA Rubberband pitchshift
with +5% and to the other you add the same plugin with -5%. Mix these
untunned channels with a low volume, like 20% of the original one.
How this workaround help? Once that you try to reach a note, you have 3
chances to it. Our earing will listen only the right one. Normally 5% of
pitchshifting is enought to correct small mistakes. Take care to not put
the replicas too loud.
Ouch! The above will cause some kind of chorus effect that isn't wanted
for every song, perhaps

does work, I don't use auto-tuners myself, so I don't know. However,
this might be a case when auto-tune is useful, I didn't listen to the
recording.
Hth,

Hi Ralf
Yes, it causes a chorus effect and a kind of soft vocal effect. I agree,
it isn't wanted for every song. I use to call it Paul McCartney vocal...
