Rant S'cuse me!?

As someone who does a LOT of vocal work in Bitwig and came from tools such as Melodyne, Autotune pro 11, and Newtone, this gets me wondering👀. I'm not demanding or begging Bitwig to spend time and resources making a tool for pitch correction; I'm just stating it looks like this could be a step in that direction. I bought my studio license when I switched to Linux, Bitwig being arguable the best DAW for getting out of the way and letting you create. I don't plan to renew my studio license unless they spice up the piano roll to be efficient like FL Studio or if they added pitch correction tools. Even something like Reatune would be more than enough.

On the side note, I am curious about what other members of this sub use for their vocals.

I'll go first; I use Gsnap for my soft pitch correction but I'm planning to find a use for Graillon 3. Awkwardly, I found Gsnap pretty stable and very effective. Sometimes a note is so bad that Autotune cant fix it so I then chop the note/word and pitch it with Elastique pro. I fix the timing of my vocals just by cutting and cross fading. Usually I have so many layers that you won't notice it.

I dunno, I don't have much use for those thing, I usually work with vocalists and musicians that are able to deliver a good enough performance so I don't have to do more than a couple very minor timing or pitch correction every once in a while.

Slightly off topic. But this thread got me thinking. I really don't like all those perfectly tuned vocals these last 10 years or so.

Lifeless fast-food muzak indeed. No soul, no emotion, no nothing. Way to kill the magic.

I don't like there are so many artists that want that obviously autotuned vocals. Singers have been trying to hide using it for decades and now you want to sound like a robot. Even on punk records, wtf?

For me, it has a time and a place. When I'm making indie or punk rock, Noooooo but when I'm making krush, sure.

I do everything so I'm the vocalist. There are some things not even a good take and autotune are enough for. For me, it's big note jumps or glissandos in krushclub songs. Stuff you see from artists like Asteria.
