If it has vocal harmonizing, it should have some presets that sound pretty much like someone singing harmony with you, and shouldn't need a lot of editing. Is that asking too much?


Nope! Not at all Don. I think consumers deserve as much. If manufacturers can't accomplish and comply with the essential basics that you've mentioned they will start losing marketshare to the other manufacturers who will and do comply.

Best,
