 I should have auto-tuned it.  I don't have any real gear setup anymore, nor that plugin.  But years ago I used autotune on our lead vocalist, back before Cher turned it into an effect.  I also used Fraunhaufer IIS to compress our recordings (mp3) before people were sharing mp3 files on the Internet. I think it is cool I was using that stuff before anybody knew about it. Did everything with an 8-track ADAT and a Mackie 16 channel mixer, plus a 8-track digital audio card for my computer that used lightpipe to the ADAT, and various software like Cakewalk... and Neumann U87ai microphones, plus a bunch of other specialized mics for drums, etc.

But now I don't have any of that stuff. Well, I have some but it is packed away and runs on 115V (NZ uses 230V).

So I just used Audacity on my linux box with my Yeti microphone.

Here is what got me out of bed to do it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jMPgvaOXH8

I think if I were gay I could hit the high note🤣
