For the WIN!  This thing is amazing.  Imaging Auto-Tune that can access each note individually within a polyphonic stereo audio file.  

That's Melodyne.  I tried on my tune FURY and was amazed.  

Check it out.



Music will never be the same.  

For better or worse.

Now I need to have this.
I don't know if I would use it for tunes that I would release, but I would definitely use it to compose music. I would record guitar improvs, for instance, and change some of the notes to find odd chords and melodies.
The way you can adjust each individual note is brilliant.

Yeah - i'm still playing with it.  Its use for remixing is obvious to me - but for my own music creation I still have to discover what this thing can do.  ..
....I'm much more of a production guy than a big performance nazi - so the opportunities to mangle audio and re-craft it is pretty interesting to me.  ..

Hi Jeff, Melodyne has been around for years here in Germany. A guy at Native Instruments in Berlin wrote the original program. They also had a Melodyne bridge (plug-in) that allowed direct access within Logic-Audio pro. The original company Emagic in Hamburg was bought out by Apple. Apple uses a simplified version of Logic for Garage Band. I just wondered if you'd recorded anything with a click yet. Melodyne is also great for quantizing live stuff. Really cool.

Yeah - I've had melodyne for a while but that version could only handle mono, single instrument type audio - like a vocal. ..
....I used it to remix the Imogen Heap track.   ....
....Celemony is putting this version of Melodyne out in beta right now - so I don't know about other versions offering Direct Note Access in other countries.  ..

After 40 years over here my English is beginning to suck, big time. I meant Logic Pro was written by Emagic. Not the Melodyne program.

Why the hell would you need to use Melodyne?!

I've used it to do re-mixes of pre-recorded material - to change the key, even the scale a vocal part sings - for example.  ..
....You can obviously fix errors in recordings. ....
....I think the creative possibilities are pretty amazing.  ....
....There's going to be a lot of new interesting music created with this thing.  ....
....Just wait.  ..

That's awesome, I might have to buy that. Maybe on their next one they'll have a video of someone playing it. How crazy would that be if a video popped up of some guy playing your tune or even the real time edits.
