Product Description:

The unique audio recording software Melodyne offers a completely novel — and creatively, far more useful — way of accessing audio data than conventional music programs. With Melodyne, you can edit the pitch, timing, phrasing and formants of an audio file independently of one another, with total freedom; and when you hear the results, you’ll understand why Melodyne has won numerous awards for sound quality.

Melodyne is an invaluable aid in the professional recording studio for ironing out intonation and timing problems; whilst as a remix tool, it offers access to undreamed of creative possibilities for the manipulation of audio.

What's new in this version:

The highlight of Melodyne cre8 3.2 is a new algorithm for percussive material, which represents an enormous improvement over the old one in terms of sound quality. Melodyne studio 3.2 comes with an improved Poly algorithm that now supports formant correction. Also new in both cre8 and studio are the handy Zoom/Scroll faders that facilitate both orientation and navigation, an improved activation system that is far easier to use, and various other improvements and bug fixes. Furthermore, the option of transferring your license to an iLok, for which you previously had to pay, is now free of charge from Version 3.2 onwards.

Worth every penny if you're a vocalist, or producer/record them - Version: 3.2.2, 3/14/2009 02:57PM PST

Superstitious

Yes, this software is really expensive. Unfortunately for the developers, tons of people pirate it, using the expense to justify that. It's circular. The fewer people buy it, the more the high price is justified in the eyes of the developers.

But, we're talking about their top tier app, here. There are less expensive less feature-rich versions of Melodyne available, like Melodyne UNO. If you have another multi-track program and just want to polish a vocal track, consider that one. There is also a plug-in.

Adobe Creative Suite is really expensive. Office is really expensive. Frankly, I think Melodyne is a much better value than Microsoft Office, and how many more people buy that?

This software's most impressive feature is how well it adjusts defects in vocal takes without sounding artificial. It can save a lot of studio time and studio time is expensive. If you're on a limited budget like I am, you can do a lot more songs because you don't have to do so many takes of each one.

One thing that I'm unhappy about, though, is that the Spitfish plug-in doesn't work in this version. It did work in 3.0.1.5. The audio units version of the plug-ins isn't seen at all, and the VST versions no longer work.

The price is prohibitive to even wanting to try it out. I think I'll stick to my ProTools. Thank you!

I already have ALL the great sound edit apps. I think I'll pass on this and buy a new computer instead.
