Mr. Nicholson is correct - Naked uses it a lot. In particular the close
harmony work on Two Of Us is now mechanically perfect (and pretty devoid of
soul also).

I use it too. It's strange though - sometimes, after correcting an offending
note, it doesn't sound as good as the original out of tune part. I used it
to fix some flat slide guitar last week - mayber I have a career waiting in
Nashville.
