I cant see how it would be any easier than retracking a part, but have any of you HD rcorders ever tried to fix a slightly out of tune PSG part w/ an autotune program like Antares Auto Tune? Seems like it would be a pain in thew ass since the sliding guitar is done in such incremental semitones. Let me know!!!

Auto tune and Pitch doctor cannot handle chords unfortunately,but I have repaired my crappy steel tracks using the pitch shifter in Protools. You can draw the automation data by hand over the track you want to pitch shift. The good thing about it is that you can't hear it working. and this trick works on anything, but it will not compensate for an out of tune guitar, just lousy bar placement. If I pluck a chord perhaps it will be off by 10 cents, but as it sustains I will automatically compensate. the trick is to draw in a 10 cents pitch shift on the attack and then gradually taper it down to zero as it sustains.
