Tried many pitch correctors from different audio companies, this sounds the most natural.
Don't forget to call Sweetwater first, they offer the best service.
Thanks Waves.

Super fast delivery, friendly survive that's always there to help when needed.

I purchased this plugin after a friend used it on some rough vocals I had sent him that came back sounding SO GOOD! I have used the plugin multiple times in the last couple days since I bought it and it works great with very little tinkering. Tuning sounds very natural and I've barely explored the other features/controls that are available.

It may not seem like much when you look at it, but ****, it is amazing. It fixed vocals no problem. Whether you want T-Pain autotune effect or a transparent pitch perfect performance, this is the plug-in.

The Waves Tune plug in gives me that precise edge I need to custom shape my audio projects. Easy to use and fast .I am very pleased with my decision to try this great tool out . Rich Burkey, Magnolia North Studio.

Since the early days of DAW software, Waves has been a dominating force in music and audio production. For those of us here at Sweetwater who've been recording since the industry switched over to computer-based studios, it's impossible to imagine sessions without L series Ultramaximizers, MaxxBass, and other staples. Since then, we've been impressed every time Waves has brought top producers such as Jack Joseph Puig and Chris Lord-Alge to Sweetwater to show off their next cutting-edge creations, and Waves is constantly adding new and innovative plug-ins to their catalog. And with cool new gear such as their SoundGrid series, Sweetwater engineers have discovered just how easy it is to use Waves plug-ins live.
