I bought the Editor upgrade the other day, and haven't had a chance to record anything other than drums since then, but I DO have one 6-string bass track (sort of classical in nature) that I tested it on, and it didn't work very well... BUT, I don't really blame the editor for that, since most tuners can barely even detect the pitch of the lower strings...
So with that being said, I really wanted to dig into the editor, and just see if I can get familiar with it, so I loaded the song "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from Warrant, because I remembered it had an interesting acoustic guitar intro that I always thought was cool. So I focused on that, started tweaking notes, and practically wrote a brand new song, just by stealing their guitar part and swapping pitches of individual notes. (I'm not actually going to use this for anything) but my point is... THAT DNA DETECTION STUFF IS RIDICULOUS!
I'm curious if any of you have any songs that come to mind, that are primarily "one acoustic guitar" or something along those lines, that you think would be fun to just tweak & mess around with inside Melodyne Editor. I'm personally all for recording as many instruments as humanly possible with actual microphones, and only using keyboard samples and stuff for creative filler content or whatever... BUT... For a rap producer, or someone that "samples" other people's music (like Kanye or whatever) it seems like Melodyne Editor would be one of the most magical tools ever created for ripping off other people's music, and making it your own.
But yeah... To be honest, I'm kind of shocked that the DNA editor works. I really didn't think it was possible (without sounding distorted & robotic).
EDIT: Here is a link to the MP3 of my reworked intro to Uncle Tom's Cabin by Warrant... Completely done manually inside of Melodyne (from just importing the song, and hacking away at it's DNA)...
