Hey, has anyone taken advantage of the $50 intro price on Anatares'  
Harmony EFX?  I've been playing around with it, and it does a lot  
more than Logic's Pitch correction and the tracking seems better, but  
OTOH, I can multitrack my own harmonies that sound more realistic.   
Do people think it's a good value and useful tool?

I have H/efx. Its ok for roughing out a vocal backup but it sounds a 
bit fake for real production.

Hi..

I got it and it's a fun thing to add to my bag of goodies for $50! I've not only used it in voice, but on efx, instruments and vocorder. The pitch shifting is pretty good, but it includes formant shifting too, so if you want to simulate several others people singing with you, using the "throat" settings will let you scale in other "voices".  Is it perfect.. No. Is it worth $50., ABSOLUTELY.  If you've used auto-tune it has vaiguely similar parts to this. I reciently did a remix, and singer was so unbelievebly off that I broke down and bought auto tune evo. I thought I'd never use it, but besides correcting pitch and that typical Cher / T - Pain effect, I find myself using it a lot. Harmony Efx seems to be the same. You think you'll barely use it, and wind up reaching for it more than you think.  Also folks, you can download full working versions (7 day trial and you can save & write the efx to disk too) from Antaries for all of their stuff, including Auto Tune. So wait till you're doing a mix and try it out. Antares works with the iLock system, so you need ( or already may have ) one of those pesky USB dongles.  Hope
this helps!
