| Melodyne
  grants you unrivaled access to all the musical details in your recordings and
  samples – note by note. This is made possible by a sophisticated analysis
  that delves deeply into your recordings and samples, and recognizes and
  understands the musical relationships within them: the individual notes and
  their characteristics, the scales, keys and chords, the timing, the tempo,
  the tone color. And with Melodyne you can edit all these things intuitively.
  With vocals, but every type of instrument as well – including polyphonic
  ones, such as the piano and guitar. In addition
  to all the functions of the smaller editions, Melodyne
  studio offers: 
   Multi-tracking: You can access all your DAW¡¯s Melodyne
       tracks in a single window and display as many tracks as you like
       simultaneously in the Note Editor. So with backing vocals or choral
       works, for example, you have a clear view of the entire musical context
       and can edit related tracks together.Multitrack Note Editing: In the Note
       Editor, you can make any selection of notes from the displayed tracks
       and edit them simultaneously. Transcending track boundaries. Using all
       the tools. Ideal for bringing backing vocals, for instance, into tighter
       alignment, changing their harmonic structure or improving their
       voice-leading – as effortlessly as if they were all on the same track.Track-transcending macros: Intelligent
       macros let you enhance or perfect simultaneously the intonation, timing
       and dynamics of any selection of notes on any number of tracks.Quantize to a reference track: With the
       Quantize Time macro, you can use the timing of one track as a reference
       for the quantization of others, turning a ragged ensemble into something
       tight and disciplined in next to no time.The Sound Editor: Melodyne knows the overtone structure of
       every single note, and the access the Melodyne Sound Editor gives you to
       the timbre of your voices and instruments is just as far-reaching.
       Ranging from ingenious overtone macros to an exceptionally musical EQ,
       morphing and much else besides, the sound design possibilities are
       unique.In a nutshell: The unparalleled efficiency of its multitrack
       workflow and comprehensive capabilities for the editing of vocals and
       all instruments make Melodyne studio the ultimate professional
       tool for state-of-the-art audio editing. Musical, intuitive, and
       awesomely efficient.
