Has anyone played bluegrass bass?

Actually it's more likely to be Melodyne ...

... which is, when all is said and done, a glorified autotune.

If we're being picky, it does the same job (plus a bunch of others) in a different way; but yes, pitch correction is it's base function. I don't recall suggesting it was anything else...

Actually I think I'm going to start a new thread about pitch correction as a studio technique. That way I don't have to keep talking about it in the wrong place.

@Geek99, profuse apologies for hijacking your thread. I'll go now.

Here's a bit of crazy good bluegrass harmony singing  unmelodyned straight down 1 mic , the singers are siblings and it's a Dwight Yoakum song

Here’s a bit without autotune (or double bass, for that matter), just gathered around a mic like the old days.

As a 5 string banjo player and lifetime bass player its great to play bluegrass with a double bass player but if the great Earl Scruggs was happy to play with an electric bass player albeit his son that would be good enough for me.
