Correcting intonation of a singer on a concert

[tripleWEE]

I wanna give a Pitch-corrector-hardware a try.

I found 2 major companies who has the soulution for me/my singers.

t.c. - WoiceWorks (or bigger)
Antares - ATR-1a

I have AutoTune on my computer - i like the way it works and sounds. I dunno anything about the t.c.-kinda correction, i just know (from the manual) it has very fast A/D - D/A conversion. (1.3-1.4 ms summed) But what about the internal processing times? What is the REAL delay time between the input and the processed output (analog)?

The Antares' ATR-1a manual says nothing about this.

This is very important, becouse i can do almost the same effect by using my computer/sound card/software, but i feel those gears are more than unnecessary and unsafe at a concert. And the minimum total delay time is (with my setup) is about 12 ms in this case.. Not so good..


There is another pulg-in i know : the Yamaha's PitchFix. Sounds fantastic (and has formant-and transpose controls!!), but has a big uncompensated delay when using it on the live input of my seq..

oh, one more nice thing: t.c. can do background harmonies.. ehh.

what you think?

thanks.

vvv.

the only new hardware u need is a new singer that can sing in tune.

Wouldn't it be very tricky to intonate whatsoever if something else is retuning your voice all the time?

True, true.

In-ear monitoring does wonders...
