in my opinion, Melodyne is a much superior pitch, time and formance correction tool than
V-Vocal is. that's not to slight V-vocal .. it does a good job; but, Melodyne has far fewer
artifacts and can shift things further without it becoming obvious.

I have to agree with Jeff here.

Out of the box without any knowledge amazing things can be done with Melodyne.

In an experienced users hands it is downright magical.

How does Melodyne work for creating realistic sounding harmony parts?

If it can do that – would the process be similar to a copy / paste at different scales? I have been on the Melodyne research trail lately – downloaded the demo – but I can’t seem to find how to do harmonies just yet.

If someone doesn’t mind, a high level – yes it can - would bring some peace of mind for making such a purchase.


Thanks

i would check out some of the example videos from the Celemony Web Site

it's literally just as easy as copying the note, pasting it to another harmony track, and then shifting it. I've done
multi-part harmonies based on one line that you would be hard pressed to know the difference .. you can increase
the fullness by copying the note multiple times and then slightly detuning and/or changing the formant.

You can also create a very realistic chorus (way better than an effect) using melodyne and only one person on each part.

Thanks! - it has been a while since I viewed the videos. I've kept Melodyne on my wish list for a while and I'm thinking of moving forward with the purchase.

This is probably something people don't do often with Melodyne. I play the saxophone and have recorded quiet a few jams - since it's all improv those jams often can't be replicated without transcribing note by note - which I'm not very good at. Since Melodyne does all kinds of Pitch Recognition would it be able to output to a midi file which then can be made into a score using sonar's staff tool, or something like finale.

Has anybody used Melodyne like that, and how well does it work?

G'day

Unfortunately, it emits quite a few bad Midi notes .. and some errant ones too. it kind of sort of works,
but you have to do alot of editing afterwards.

I've had good luck with note recognition for a sax track (better than with vocals). You would probably have to tweak the midi afterward, and somehow translate the bend range to notes, but it would probably be do-able with some effort (and probably easier than starting from scratch).

How bout Looping? Does it sync with Sonar yet?
