Yeah but this thing cost ~ $800-$900 , so it should be 9x better than
$100 crap ...
uhh 9 x zero is still zero... hmmmmm

True that.
I'll amend my statement.
To think that a 900 dollar pedal would come anywhere close to
25 thousand dollars worth of software and a professional audio
engineer...etc.

Bottom line, doesn't matter who does it, it sounds like crap
at the slightest hint of obviousness. And at absolute best
it tries to make up for not having a singer who can do the
job to begin with.

Why would it seem odd to expect a singer to be in tune?
Maybe Pt hires guitar players that can't play in tune and
expects that to get fixed by autocorrection.

Damn ionian mode.

I had never heard of vocal pitch correction until it was mentioned in this group. How long as it been around, since tape? I can imagine the fun they would have had slowing down and speeding up tapes, then trying to get the tempo right again.
