pt8 vs sx3 + melodyne

having accquired melodyne studio from someone who loves to lend stuff to me.. well, i can see why it doesn't get used.
i'm using cubase studio 4, and just.. UGH. if i have any tempo changes, it just adds a random amount of latency into any vocal parts after that (usually a couple of seconds). it's *incredibly* annoying. also, joey wont use it because it's not sample precise (you inevitably get 1-5ms latency at the end of a 4 minute track). that's not so much an issue for me, but yea, it's unstable, it's frustrating, and the interface isn't as intuitive as it should be.
i've yet to try rewiring it, instead of the plugin, which i think might help, but to be honest, the plugin should work.
if you want sx3, go with autotune, and use graph tune in it, or something.
i'm a protools noob, i can't say anything about it really.
thanks,

What's the issue with using Melodyne stand-alone? More and more of these apps are taking the work away from the DAW (for better or worse). Drumtracker is a prime example.

i like everything to be editable without importing/exporting/freezing.. etc. to me that's the whole point of digital recordings and VSTs!
besides, melodyne studio costs a lot of money, they could at least stick to the VST standard.

the way I see it is its an offline process anyway, and it doesnt take me long to get set up in melodyne.
if you want to do it all in the same software, and dont like melodyne use antares

melodyne kills autotune except for when you want realtime lil wayne effects....which i am sure are popular here. for edgey vocalists melodyne kills. I have tried cubase and nuendo and logic and couldnt imagine not using protools.....for beat detective alone even in le....the fill and crossfade function is perfect for more than just drums.

Well if you upgrade yo Cubase 5 you'll get Variaudio which is basicaly a rip-off of melodyne, and it's integrated in the daw, in the edit window. Didn,t try it yet though.

As a Pro Tools guy myself, I'd say upgrade to Cubase 5. The pitch correction with Variaudio is really nice, very fast, quite transparent. For realtime T-Pain/Cher stuff there's Pitch Correcter which is similar to Auto-tune in auto mode, totally different interface though and perhaps a bit less extreme.
When I need vocals fixed now, I take the tracks to work, and basically batch process the vocals with Variaudio (50% pitch, 30% timing) and export the new files. Takes no time at all.
