V-Vocal vs Melodyne

As good as melodyne, better in some ways of working. For melodyne you must exporting audio to melodynes application {ReWire of this soft is piece of crap}. V Vocal is easy to use, simply click clip, add V Vocal. When you dont want it later, just uncheck box on clip and VVocal disappears. It is that smart

Melodyne is more powerful but not as user-friendly.

You can't extract midi data from audio with V-Vocal.

All in all, V-Vocal adds tremendous value to S5 but I ain't ditching my copy of Melodyne.

Melodyne 3 will be out soon and it looks quite impressive.

Umm.....

Hasn't this been covered already in at least two or three other threads?

have both really like V-Vocal it works well with Sonar, the keyboard short cuts are familar to me. Its well intergrated, I can apply it just to a small clip or to longer clip or mulitple clips, I can maximaize it to fill screen or I can make it smaller and go between trackview and V-Vocal windows, allso play back and looping is shared between Sonar and V-Vocal, plus I have a controll surface and I can loop and set playback from controll surface to increase workflow. I use both vvocal and melodyne in a song the other day mainly to test and see if I could but they worked well together. Of the two I prfer V-Vocal but I would not have melodyne either, there some cool thing it can do, plus I dont know all I need to know about either product, so that may change V-Vocal seems easier to me but....... To Be Continued!

Vvocal is as good as melodyne in quality of pitch correction, formants, etc. Therefore melodyne is much expensive for what they can do. I think most people on the profession using AT or VVocal now rather than melodyne.

Plus Melodyne has a monster upgrade coming out, I feel Melodyne is superior sonicly, but as has been said, it is not user friendly.

there a new kid on the block look awesome and knowing Waves it probally is http://aes.harmony-central.com/119AES/Content/Waves/PR/Tune-DeBreath.html I like the lines it very easy to read and see what notes are playing, Gui is very nice I guess vocal tuning is here to stay

I prefer Melodyne Uno for now. I just "get it", and find it's very easy to get natural sounds out of it. I'm fumbling my way around V-Vocal and find it tends to create a phrasing that sounds like it's been tuned. I'm sure it's very powerful and transparent and just need to play with it more...

I have both Melodyne Studio 2 & Sonar 5. I also have the Ueberschall Liquid Sax Series & waiting on the Liquid Bass, along with others which are incredible pieces of Software. With the new Version of M.dyne,,, "3", it will let you use all those within one another making it one heck of a Musical Sculpting Software Suite....The new M.dyne is supposed to of enhanced the user inteface a 10 fold & it is a very high quality program.... I just don't see how you can compare the 2 other than the pitch correction which as Rallen stated,,,, ultimately you do takes until the take is right & then after all fails, you use a tool to assist rather than be the reason a take sounds good & right! I too came up in the School of thinking that you practice, practice, practice, then do takes until you got it right...... Even if that means coming back after resting! JMHO Wildman

I have AutoTune 3.0 and Melodyne 2.6; I am awaiting my Sonar 5 shipment and will test the V-Vocal against these other two soon.

In terms of quality, I don't think that there is any question that Melodyne is better than AT. Its interface is very hard for newbies, however, and the fact that you have to open it as a separate application in most cases is not a plus. So, if the V-Vocal can do the same thing easily in Sonar and sounds about the same, we may have a new winner.

AT is designet for one thing - pitch correction. And for this I used them. If I want harmonies, I call some good vocalist, because creating harmony with melodyne is really last of last option. It sounds like other voices are sings by robots. If I want quantize audio, do it myself, because it is not possible to do it with soft if souce wave is out of metronome. For tempo match use VVocal, better results. You cannot pitch polyphonic dude... This is only advertisment of melodyne developers.

I'll second that one.

Melodyne Uno leaves AutoTune in the dust. imho.

I'm more interested in crafting harmony parts than correcting my singing.

I'm interested in this too. Anyone using Melodyne or VVocal for harmonies?


edit: man I can't spell.....
