Generally my working practice is to use Autotune on the channel during tracking/production/arranging - quick and easy. If I hear problems then I do that vocal section in either Autotune or Melodyne. It gets grainier quicker so you have to keep your ears open when using it to make sure the quality reduction isn’t going to be noticeable in the final mix. That said, it doesn’t sound quite as good. Finally (d) it doesn’t need to be recorded back to a track like Melodyne, you can simply render the audio clips (big time saver to be able to just use Ctrl-B!).
Also (c) it works flawlessly across tempo changes in a song which is something that I found very tricky in Melodyne. I ended up with VariAudio last time because (a) I found it quicker to do detailed editing than the others and (b) it’s got more ways to adjust the pitch curve and I needed more control over swoops and things in this particular vocal. I don’t think there’s a clear winner though, I use all 3 at different times.
I probably use Melodyne the least because of it’s lack of integration with Cubase. Many people want a single clear winner to purchase, but I ended up investing in all 3 for different reasons. I’ve got Autotune8 and Melodyne DNA, yet I actually used Cb Variaudio on my last vocal.
