I haven't noticed this, but just asked Fons for a copy. Autotalent is completely unusable, the artefacts are just too obvious. If you like, check out http://adi.loris.tv/testfiles.tar.bz2 The "corrected" version ruins your whole production. ;) I tried VocProc, it's less critical, but it's a little hard to find suitable settings for threshold and attack. > it. I have not tried any of the above for now, so I cannot say > anything about sound quality differences. What I hear for now: It's better than autotalent, but I'm waiting for jretune to test. The idea of selecting the correct notes via toggle buttons as done in jretune is good, it's the same as in autotune. Like all stand-alone jack tools, it's usability hell. Starting and wiring a tool sucks, the settings aren't saved in the session and so on. This should clearly be a LV2 plugin. (the whole issue becomes obvious when you think of mixing twelve vocal tracks) VocProc also connects to physical ins/out at startup. This is annoying. It's a typical post-production tool, so given that I'm already annoyed by manually wiring it as an Insert inside ardour, I'll first have to remove VocProc's physical IO to get the routing right. It doesn't make sense at all to connect anything at startup. Next: VocProc changes the volume. At Gain=0, it's off, which is weird. A 0dB gain means "no additional boost", but not off. Ok, so I tried Gain=1, which makes the output louder than the input. This isn't crucial, but it's not common. I don't want to alter a track's volume just because I added pitch correction. So plenty of room for improvements. ;) HTH -- mail: a...@thur.de http://adi.thur.de PGP/GPG: key via keyserver ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

I agree with you about things you mentioned. Till now I mostly used it for fun and not in real production so I didn't came upon these problems. But it is still in very early stage of development so.. I started writing it as a standalone JACK client because I wanted to write it as soon as possible without messing up with specifications. I just took some code from Faust project that instantly gave me GUI and JACK interface. I have actually already started porting it to LV2 (if started can be described as started reading LV2 documentation :)). It will take a some time to release it because of some other things I have to do in next few days. BTW it saves the settings on quitting (at least for the last closed instance) :D About gain and automatic connecting to ins/outs... Both are actually leftovers from debugging. It was simpler for me to just run it and not to mess up with wiring too. Gain is not in dB. It is actual amplification.
