- Melodyne is an amazing product, you can us it to snap a vocal that is a little off back into correct key, in a very subtle way, or you can be more extreme and flatten the modulation of every sung note making it more hard tuned (the “t-pain” effect).
- By the 'Cher effect' you mean the effect that her producer used on her voice for the song 'Believe', you need a vocoder to create that effect. The effect was originally done with pitch correction (despite early and incorrect rumors that it was a vocoder) and to this day, many people (myself included) still achieve it with pitch.
- Without doubt Auto-Tune Pro is the product to reach for to produce that distinctive Cher / T-Pain hard vocal effect. Melodyne on the other hand is by nature a very easy to use surgical tool for tuning. In this tutorial we utilise the strengths of both products.
Either way, if you decide later to upgrade to Melodyne Editor, you'll still have saved a little bit of cash overall and (given past history) there probably won't be another paid upgrade for S1 until version 3 so there should be more free goodies to come.
Thanks man.
P.S. In the meantime... just use the Editor demo and do your T-Pain thing until the demo expires? That will also give you a feel for if you want to actually upgrade or not.

The T-pain Effect Melodyne
T-Pain uses Antares, and Antares is definitely what I prefer to use for Auto-Tune, but Melodyne can do the job. If you are new to operating pitch correction programs, I suggest looking up some basic tutorials on the usage of Melodyne as a whole and really learn your way around the program first.
