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 Melodyne¡¯s basic functions and all the possibilities of the smallest
edition, essential,
Melodyne
assistant offers:
- The entire Melodyne toolkit: With the full
diversity of Melodyne¡¯s tools at your disposal, you can apply the finest
of touches to any and every note parameter: intonation, vibrato, pitch
drift, timing, duration, amplitude, fades, sibilants, formants,
transients – even the timing within notes as well as the transition
between them – and much else besides. You can take a vocal track as
close to perfection as you choose to.
- Inspectors: In the inspectors, all the parameters
are clearly laid out, and you can adjust them – without changing tools –
to the precise values you want.
- Audio-to-MIDI: Export the MIDI equivalent of your
audio, so you can double your vocal lines with a synthesizer or your
acoustic bass with an electronic sound. Audio-to-MIDI gives you the
means to conduct exciting experiments and create radically new sounds.
- In a nutshell: Melodyne assistant provides all you need
for the professional editing of vocals. That¡¯s where its
main power is focused, but it can be used equally well, of course, to
edit recordings of any monophonic sound source (trumpet, clarinet,
etc.).
