I can definitely relate to that one, man. :) My rule now is if it aint done and recorded in a month, it aint getting recorded.

I originally did it in E for my own vocals & it was way outa her range. The only key that worked was D, so I had to redo the entire thing from scratch. Her singing style was totally different from mine so I had to keep re-recording each instrument until I found something that fit.

Here's a suggestion and everyone has a different opinion on it but try using a simple pitch bender. I'm pretty sure all music software has one, Cool edit, Soundforge, Cakewalk. Usually if you just need to transpose up or down a few semitones, you can get very good results without making it sound too artifical. Which would happen if you transposed up an octave or so. Ehh.. If you don't like it for final results, you can use it to help figure out what key works instead of re-recording parts over and over. Then record once you find the right key. That would definitely help if that kind of situation came up again, or any similar situation. Like you said E was out of her vocal range, just transpose it down with a pitch bender to D. Then send it to her to record over it. It will definitely save you all that trouble. Hope thats helps.
