Off-topic I know but I just wanted to share this with somebody - and call me a little slow off the mark here, as it's been around for years - but I've just had my first experience of Melodyne and it just blew me away.
I saw the opportunity to make full use of the product when I had to create a brass band (on a very tight budget) for a recent documentary. A trumpet player friend of mine came in and played all the parts I had written (including the Tuba!) and we shifted the pitches and formants in Melodyne to create a full brass ensemble sound.
It was so fast and intuitive, and the results amazed us both - the Tuba was astounding, when he took a breath it even sounded like he was breathing through the Tuba - but then we've often made (sometimes fairly futile) attempts in the past at making the trumpet sound like a flugel, trombone or horn with careful use of dusting cloths and EQ!
You've got to try this if you haven't already - a much more creative and flexible solution than Autotune.
