A good place to start would probably be the Antares web site, ya think?
It's not free...

Hi Lorisha,
Yes, the software is useful first and foremost. And yes, you can get the Cher vocal effect with some trial and error. However, the software was designed with pitch correction in mind and is used mostly to "correct" a vocal part has the occasional stray. You can check it out at www.antares.com for yourself, but I would seriously have to weigh the cost of the product against the amount of use you would actually get from it. If you are in business and have the occasional need for pitch correction, then over a period of time your clients will pay for the product. If you want it just for the "vocorder" thing (cher effect), then I would start looking at vocorders, which will be less expensive. Good Luck Voodoo

I'm sorry, I must correct VooDoo on the ULR for Antares. It's actually http://antarestech.com/
I must say that I'm a very happy user of the device which is available
in software or hardware. I'm partial to the hardware version, and you can
get one of the older models off of www.ebay.com for a pretty good deal.
Note: It's not nearly as versatile as the software version, but it also never
crashes on you, and you can use it LIVE for a stage performance. Trust me,
I have one, and I love it. As VooDoo also said, it's really meant to fine tune
out of key notes to make a good singer into a perfect one, but fiddling around
with the speed parameters makes for a really wicked sounding special effect.
http://home.aol.com/rodandhaley click on "Only Rod Knows Why" for fun.
PS: While it's true that "VoiceTweaker Lite" can produce a similar result, the current
version 3.0 I find very unstable and crashes any host program I try. The PRO version
MAY be fine, but I'm not going to pay that much more money since I already spent enough
for version 2.1. They offer a free upgrade to the crash-prone 3.0 but took away some of the capabilities like MIDI control. So I cannot recommend www.RBCaudio.com at this time. Rod

Hi Rod,
Don't be sorry.... If I posted the link in error (I did indeed!), then I appreciate you setting it straight. I have the Antares Mic Modeler software and when I bought it, a demo version of the auto-tune came on the disk. I have fooled with it a little, but don't really have an interest or need for it. It's not that my projects (or my own) vocals don't go astray occasionally, but that's (IMO) one of the things that makes an individual unique. Good Luck Voodoo

So.... I guess the only question left to ask is.." How many of Cher's songs went through pitch correction before they stumbled across this one"... :o)

I have both AutoTune 3 and Voice Tweaker 3 Pro and haven't had a problem getting either of them to work. I think AutoTune does a little better job of pitch correct without causing artifacts though.
There are presets for different types of effects included with both plugs. I'm not sure about how to do the Cher vocal effect but I've noticed lots of discussion about it on different forums.
Just for vocal FX, RBC Voice Tweaker is probably the better value.
As for pitch correction on vocals, I think both the plugs are good for minor, spot corrections but not good at all for correcting long passages or portions where the vocalists' inflections are complex.
I've had pretty good luck using both plugs for pitch correction of horn parts and single-line instrument tracks.

And since version 3 came out, Antares is quite useful for tweaking up those pesky fretless bass lines....
;)
Best... -Jon

I never thought about that. I'm a sucker for a good fretless, maybe now I can actually play one!

Hmm. I don't know... as for me, I find that I'm just another casualty of the "Live vs. Studio Syndrome", or rather, the constant and incessant self-criticism that comes with adjudicating my own performances in the studio, which never seem to have the benefit of the energy of a live performance. I find I play better when out gigging (yeah... big surprise there, I suppose! Not!  )
I can't play a fretless in tune to save my life "in the box". I come close... but for all these years, I've shied away from actually buying a fretless instrument, and so I've really only been working at it for about two years (finally bit the bullet back in April of 2000 with the purchase of a 5-string electric fretless). It's much different than playing fretted instruments, which I've actually come to enjoy! You are the fret...
So anyway, inside the box, Antares is a necesary evil.
Er, tool.
Umm... evil.
Evil Tool?
Something that's been very useful to me, anyway...
All the best... -Jon
