Roll your own autotune in
Reaper
Using ReaPitch and Automation envelopes to manually correct vocals
Automatic
vocal alignment tools like autotomb (in auto mode) hardly ever produce
results that I like... So I manually, and much more cheaply align vocals
(when I HAVE TO) with the tools in Reaper, namely a pitch shifter plugin
called "ReaPitch". Normally, you would use this plug to ptch
something up or down, and let it ride.
By adding
an automation envelope that controls the parameters of the plugin you
can use it to selectively and precisely tune notes up or down right
there on the track in the edit screen in real time.
So, check
it out....
Insert
ReaPitch on the vocal track, and note the parameters that you can control
with it...
When
correcting vox, we want to move notes less than a whole note (semitone),
what we want to do is move the notes slightly... a perCENTage of the
note (cents).

So, now
we create an automation envelope that controls the Shift (cents) parameter
of ReaPitch.
Click
on the "trm" (automation envelopes) button

Brings up the Envelopes control window.
Find the parameters for ReaPitch, and click on the Shift(cents)box.
The "visible" and "arm" boxes will automatically
get checked. Then close the window.

Now your
track has an Automation envelope that controls the Shift (cents) param
in ReaPitch. Now, you can create envelope points over the notes that
need correcting... (envelope up if the note is flat, and down if the
note is sharp.
