Rather than working with fixed frequencies, the Harmonics section effectively tracks the fundamental pitch of each note and then lets you adjust the timbre of the sound on a partial-by-partial basis. The result is a depth of tonal precision few other equalisers can match, although using the handy macro controls, it can have all the immediacy of a shelving equaliser.Īt extremes – using a radical comb-filtering setting, for example, or the Shuffle Spectrum option – the Equalizer can work as a sound-design tool it’s also possible to use it as subtle form of colouration. Moving a step on from the Equalizer is the Harmonics section, which really makes use of Melodyne’s complex pitch analysis. Rather than being a simple treble and bass control, Melodyne’s Equalizer offers multiple frequency bands, each a semitone apart. Probably the most familiar Sound Editor mode will be the Equalizer. There are three principal modes the Sound Editor works across – Harmonics, EQ and Synth – which can produce everything from subtle timbral shifts, through to extreme re-synthesis. The Sound Editor works in the spectral domain, with a pane that appears beneath the main editing area. Arguably, the major sonic shift comes from the introduction of the Sound Editor, which takes Melodyne beyond being a tool for just pitch, time and formant correction. Sound Editor Given that it would be hard to improve on Melodyne’s pitch-editing prowess, it’s interesting to see how the sonic improvements have been directed. Overall, Melodyne feels as though it’s evolved into a mature and assured interface, leaving behind any feeling of youthful inexperience. Users of the standalone Melodyne Studio will be used to a degree of multitrack operation, but for plug-in users, who would have had to open separate instances of the plug-in for each different track lane, this change in operation makes a profound difference to Melodyne’s use and operation. This is particularly evident in Melodyne’s multitrack operation, where it’s now much easier to view and indeed edit between multiple track lanes. Obviously, Melodyne 4 isn’t designed to replace your existing DAW, but it does provide a more coherent workflow for those who enjoy working in the standalone version.Ĭonsistent to both the standalone and the plug-in versions of Melodyne 4 is a revised user interface, which feels more approachable and responsive across the board. So, although there’s an enhanced version of the plug-in Melodyne available, the standalone Melodyne now features a greater array of DAW-like functionality, including the option to record directly into the application. Fundamentally, there seems to be a notable shift back to Melodyne’s role and function as a standalone application in its own right. Gang of Four While it would be hard to trump the revelation of seeing Melodyne for the first time, or indeed, the ‘exploding notes’ of DNA analysis taking place, it would be fair to say that Melodyne 4 is still an exciting and significant evolution of the Melodyne concept. Although Melodyne still sounded the best, and was the only solution to offer DNA note access and true polyphonic correction, many wondered where Celemony would take its groundbreaking audio-editing system next. ![]() Inevitably, though, the unique Melodyne-like way of editing audio crept into may DAWs, with systems such as Logic Pro X’s Flex Pitch and Cubase’s VariAudio both bearing a striking visual and sonic similarity to Melodyne. Once transferred, though, the experience was the same as having a Melodyne-powered audio track in your host sequencer, with the ability to change or refine any aspect of the recorded performance, right up until the last point of mixing. Rather than working as a real-time processor, audio still needed to be streamed into the Melodyne engine (this simply involved playing the song through once, with the Transfer button engaged) before you began any editing. Whereas users of the original Melodyne could only work with monophonic audio files, (such as a vocal, for example), DNA-powered users could ‘explode’ each and every note of a polyphonic performance – re-voicing chords on a guitar, for example, or completely changing a tune played on the right-hand of a piano.Īnother important step, which revolutionised the workflow of many users, was the introduction of a plug-in version of Melodyne. ![]()
