Celemony Melodyne 3.0 Studio Edition

Recording artists and engineers have known about Melodyne for years. Until now, though, it was only monophonic vocal and instrumental parts that could benefit from Melodyne’s much-admired editing algorithms: algorithms capable of everything from minor corrections of intonation to extreme pitch shifting and from the subtle modification of grooves to drastic time stretching. With Version 3, Melodyne is no longer limited to melodies but offers a unique algorithm that can perform high quality time stretching on full chords and complex audio signals; so now harmonic material (such as rhythm guitar or piano parts) — whether homophonic or polyphonic — can be transposed (without altering the tempo), slowed down or sped up (without altering the pitch) and even quantized. What’s more, all this can be done in real time with the sound quality for which Melodyne is famous.

Melodyne3 employs the same audio analysis engine as Melodyne uno: the process of note recognition is therefore fully automatic and the results more reliable and delivered more swiftly than heretofore. That’s one way in which Melodyne3 makes working with audio files easier. Others are the Correct Pitch and Quantize Time macros, which allow the most common flaws in vocal and instrumental recordings to be removed with a few mouse clicks.

Melodyne3 is not just far easier to operate and better attuned to the working practices of musicians and recording engineers than its predecessors but also better structured. Context-sensitive combi-tools, logically arranged menus and intuitive new methods of operating in the arrange and edit windows streamline the workflow as well as reducing the time taken to master the program. There are also notable improvements in the way Melodyne integrates into other sequencing applications and Melodyne3 can read sound libraries created using Melodyne technology such as those of Ueberschall’s Liquid Instruments, thereby obtaining access to an almost inexhaustible supply of licks and phrases.

New Features in Version 3.0:
- Very high quality time stretching and pitch shifting - even for polyphonic and complex audio material
- Far more reliable note recognition
- Macros for the correction of intonation and timing errors
- Simpler arrangement editing
- More powerful editing functions
- Data-related improvements
- Improvements in the layout and workflow

REVIEW:

Amazing! - StreamWorks Audio
"For many people, the perception of Melodyne is as a competitor to Autotune. And for purely corrective control, Melodyne is not as immediate to use. But the functionality of Melodyne goes way beyond simple pitch correction. It can’t be directly compared with any other software or hardware tool, because for once the marketing claims are correct – Melodyne really does do things that no other product can.

This is a seriously cool blurring of the lines between corrective and compositional tools, and Celemony should be congratulated for their lateral and creative thinking in the design of this product. Highly recommended!"
