Good vocal programs?

I'm starting to get into adding vocals onto tracks, and what are some good programs to look into where I could edit vocals (drop in pitch, stretch, the whole 9 yards).
Also, when DJ's kind of scratch vocals with just a word, usually in an electro track, what are they using to do that? Is it just in a loop and what program do they use for that?
Thanks for the help. |

| Cubase 5 is, without a doubt, the best DAW to be using for recording anything (at the moment). I think most other companies will catch up in their next version though... maybe. Considering how expensive AutoTune and Melodyne are, I would just buy Cubase and get a whole DAW lol. You also don't have to worry about syncing the timeline with the plugin... you can do all the editing right in the audio part. :) |

I think stretch leading vocals is not recommended because lead vocals are one of the most important and sensible parts of a song and any stretch or pitch will result in loss of audio quality..
Well I'm working on vocals here too with my vocalist. I use Logic 8 and bounce a Clean Mix using another project to record vocals. I'm using Voxengo Voxformer and other Voxengo tools on my vocal track since I don't have hardware processors yet...
When you talk about "a word" vocals I think you mean cutvocals / chop chop technique.

I too am about to try to create a song with vocals, I use FL Studio though I will probably find something else since the pattern based production you're limited to on FL is well... it sucks.
So for vocals what's best? I've seen cubase, reason, and ableton. I think I might go ableton or cubase but I'm not sure. I'm not even quite sure how I'm going to record vocals. I have a microphone but haven't tried recording anything yet... |

Cubase basically has Melodyne built into the wave editor. No other DAW has this. Sonar has V-Vocal, but this still works like a plugin. Seems like the smart choice IMO ;)
Up to you, though I can't really see any reasons against it... |

Well, not exactly. In Sonar, you convert your clip to a V-Vocal clip, which opens the V-Vocal GUI displaying the waveform and that's where you do your pitch editing, etc. It looks like a plugin, but it's not - it's integrated into Sonar and is not available as a plugin in Sonar or any other host. The processing is non-destructive, so you can revert back to the original clip with a couple of mouse clicks, or you can bounce it to a new clip (in-place) or to a new track.
Back OT - @oldspice891, I work with vocals on almost every one of my tracks and I use both Sonar 8 and Cubase 5. I would still recommend Melodyne over Sonar or Cubase for your pitch correction needs. But, more importantly, I wouldn't base your decision on which DAW to buy on its pitch correction capabilities - that's sorta like basing your car buying decision on the stereo. |

Thanks for the reply guys. Just looked up a video on youtube about melodyne, looks really nice. And also @ echosystm, good suggestion, i'll definitely look into saving up for Cubase 5.
I was wondering if there was something out there...a little less expensive?
Just a basic vocal pitch editor, like how uppermost did it to his track here:
