I'm working with a pedal steel player -- he's very old school and I love his playing. Sometimes when he goes up the neck I notice mild intonation problems (this doesn't seem to be an issue when he's just padding the chords lower down the neck). Can we "auto-tune" a pedal-steel in the studio? Needless to say it's better and/or easier to get instruments down in-tune at the outset, but this pedal steel player is pretty good and there aren't that many around my house. So, can we auto-tune a pedal-steel track?

Yikes! That sounds like it will be a very tedious (and likely NOT automated) task. I suppose it can be done, but only on single notes I would suspect. If he's sliding to the right spot on the neck, but using too much pedal, you'll probably have a more difficult time correcting the problem. I had a similar situation once and I actually loaded the track into my Korg Trioton Extreme sampler (recorded the audio as a sample) and played it back, using the pitch wheel to fix the trouble spots as I recorded it back into my DAW. That was, of course, before I bought Melodyne. Good luck!

It can be done is the short answer. However it will take time and skill and would probably give far better results by getting a better in tune recording. The studio guys I work with have a saying that it is better quicker and cheaper doing a good retake than trying to edit a bad first one. FYI I prefer using Melodyne than autotune. It is worth noting that Cubase 5 has a good Melodyne type plugin already built in.
