If you tend to be an intuitive worker (like me) who doesn't like reading manuals etc, but just work it out by doodling around, you will probably (
like me) have missed a fantastic resource. Even though I've used Melodyne for years, I've never really looked closely at the Celemony website until I had a recent issue in Platinum. What I discovered was that nearly every single entry in their online 'manual' is accompanied by a free online video! (apart from the first two categories - Introduction and Melodyne & your DAW). You can find it under their
HELP tab. Each video is short (3-4 minutes) and very clear. I've gone through nearly all of them now, practising techniques in Sonar with the video side by side and discovered so many amazing gems of info that blew my mind. For example, the one on copying: I thought I knew all about copying notes until I saw that notes could automatically expand or contract to the desired destination!!! You can see it here .... (

Melodyne had often seemed to be too drastic in its treatment and left me underwhelmed at times. I now realise that the problem was rather my lack of understanding of the powerful tool at my disposal. If this encourages someone else to learn something new about the programme they have purchased, then I'm happy for you.
