Celemony Melodyne Essentials Audio Editor Software

No longer available at zZounds
Vocal pitch and timing issues? Not with Melodyne Essentials. Put this plug-in on a vocal track (or any monophonic track) and click and drag notes into place.

Celemony Melodyne is a software application for OS X or Windows with which you can edit audio in a more musical way than was ever thought possible. In Melodyne, you work with notes - and not with a meaningless waveform. You don't just see where the music gets louder or quieter but also where notes begin and end and at what pitch they lie.

You can modify each note and thereby influence directly the intonation, phrasing and dynamics - and do this not only with vocals and monophonic instruments but with polyphonic instruments such as pianos and guitars as well.

Working with Melodyne is like being able to say to a vocalist "sing this note a bit longer" or to a pianist "give slightly less weight to the third in this chord" -- hours, weeks, even years after the recording session.

I used Melodyne Essentials to make a vast improvement to an 8-voice amateur a cappella group song, taking it from almost unlistenable to sparkling sweet harmony. My first project with the software and it could not have been easier- Very time consuming, as I literally fixed all the bad notes individually in 8 voice parts, one by one, but the results made it worthwhile. Super value for the money. Had a couple artifacts remaining that were pretty well hidden in the final mix, and of course piano spill on each track caused some funky sounds, but if your tracks are clean it's no problem.

Musical Background:
