"Great Value, Great Pitch Correction"

Feature:
Great features. Yes, the microphone modeling is not as extensive as the software, but you'll pay way more for the Microphone Modeler, Auto-Tune, Gate, EQ, de-esser, etc. than you will just for the AVP. If it had all the features of the software, it would cost twice as much. Luckily the auto-tune algorigthm is identical to the software. Sure, there could be more features, but hard to find how at the price point.

Quality:
Unabalanced connectors is my only caveat

Value:
For barely more than the auto-tune software you get the same pitch correction and way more features.

Desirability:
Practical addition, keep it a secret while playing live ;-)

Sound:
Auto Tune can't be beat. It sounds very seemless. The guy in one review here seemed to think it was hard to get it to be seemless.. either he is trying to sing for the first time in his life, or he is totally incompetent. I was able to successfully leave it on chromatic and it sounded perfect with no artifacts! But I am a decent singer.

Support:
Easy to get ahold of, very helpful

Overall:
AWESOME!!

"All this in 1u! WOW!"

Let's see, I can turn my beta 58 into any kind of mic, including high dollar studio mics. I can double track a perfectly pitch corrected backing track (my favorite). If I'm feeling 'off', I can pitch correct my vocals. On top of a de-esser, compression, and eq, live, realtime, on stage! What's not to love? I can see this in my rack for many years to come.

From Our Catalog
The heart of any great song is a great vocal sound. With Antares's new vocal producer, they've combined the world-renowned auto-tune pitch correction and TEC-award-winning microphone modeler technologies with state-of-the-art vocal processing modules to give you everything you need to create stunning vocal tracks in any musical style.

Freedom of Choice
Live or in the studio, the AVP lets you instantly select from a large library of sounds. From gorgeously mellow to seriously twisted, they've included factory presets for a wide variety of vocal styles as well as an interface that makes it easy to create your own signature sounds. (And given the power and flexibility of the AVP's processing modules, they've even included a selection of presets for instrumental and percussion tracks.)

Features:

Auto-Tune Real-time Pitch Correction - Antares's world-renowned Auto-Tune technology lets you correct the pitch of vocals (or solo instruments), in real time, without distortion or artifacts, while preserving all of the expressive nuance of the original performance.

Antares Microphone Modeling - The TEC Awarding-winning Microphone Modeler technology lets you give your vocal tracks the characteristics of a variety of high-end studio mics as well as adjust the proximity effect associated with mic distance.

Analog Tube Modeling -- Gives your vocals the warmth of a classic tube preamp.

Variable Knee Compressor -- A state-of-the-art dynamics processor with threshold, ratio, attack and decay controls as well as a continuously variable knee characteristic.

Downward Expanding Gate -- The AVP's gate, with threshold and ratio controls, works independently of the compressor to eliminate noise and breath sounds.

Variable Frequency De-Esser -- The AVP's de-esser tames vocal sibilance with threshold, ratio, attack and decay controls as well as a variable highpass frequency to match any vocal performance.

Flexible Parametric EQ -- You can fine-tune your vocal sound with two independent bands of equalization that let you select from 6dB or 12 dB high or low cut, high or low shelving with variable slope, bandpass, notch and fully parametric peaking.

Automatic Mono or Stereo Double Tracking -- You can automatically mix a doubled track into the AVP's main output or route it to a separate output for post-processing and mixing.

Fully Programmable -- Once you've created the perfect vocal sound for a particular track, every parameter can be saved as a preset for instant recall.

Factory Presets for a Wide Variety of Vocal Styles -- The AVP comes out-of-the-box with an extensive collection of factory presets for a variety of vocal styles. (They've even included a selection of presets for instrumental and percussion tracks.)

MIDI Automation -- Every variable module parameter can be controlled via MIDI continuous controllers for realtime automation.

Really Easy To Use -- No scrolling though endless menus to find the parameter you want. Virtually every major function is only a single button press away.

Incredibly Affordable
