52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 31: Using Neptune on an Already Talented Singer

So many times people look at pitch correction from a standpoint of "how extreme can it go?" Understandably, entire sub-genres of Hip-hop have risen out of this mentality. However, this week I decided to show you how MOST of us will probably be using Neptune. This week is all about using Neptune tastefully for perfecting an otherwise nice vocal performance and applying additional harmonies via the voice synth.

Hi James,

Please disregard my prior post.

The questions were answered in Week 30 when you were working on your own vocals.

It created a different question which is... does Neptune have a feature that automatically creates recommended 3 part harmonies? I know of another software that has that feature, but my goal is to do everything in Record/Reason.

It appears that it is possible to lay entire vocals in Record. Is that doable or is it better to lay vocals in Protools?
