Record a vocal and Melodyne will play it on your soft synth pretend to be a human beatbox and Melodyne will play your spoken beats in your favourite drum sampler and even quantise them for perfect timing. Melodyne 3 adds support for virtual instruments, and it´s now possible to turn audio tracks into real-time MIDI output. You can use an unlimited number of tracks, equalisers and insert points, and there are group channels that can be routed to any soundcard output. You never get a second chance to make a good first impression, and in this respect, Melodyne still lets itself down.ĭon´t be put off by Melodyne´s slightly ugly appearance, though - it´s a powerful product, and offers unrivalled options for manipulating sound. On the downside, much of the user interface remains clunky and primitive, something that could come as a shock to new users. Existing users will certainly appreciate the numerous operational improvements in the Edit Window too. This includes the lead vocal too, and it´s fair to say that you can get results that are of top quality.Īlso, the recognition of pitches, note boundaries, tempo and even the type of material (melodic, rhythmic or polyphonic) is now completely automatic. You could even take a fast, up-tempo rock multitrack and convert it into a slow, jazzy number with a lazy swing feel.

What the upgraded technology in Melodyne Studio 3 does enable you to do is take each individual track of a song (for example), and transpose it into a completely different key without any audible artefacts.

The results on individual tracks (such as piano or guitar) are often flawless.
