“What you see is what you get” accurately sums up Melodyne’s editing process. If you have ever edited MIDI notes in a “piano roll” editor, you understand the principle. For the detection process to achieve optimal results requiring little or no further correction, it is recommended therefore that you record the dry signal and only add effects (particularly distortion) after you have finished editing with Melodyne. One is that with certain polyphonic sound sources – such as heavily distorted guitars – Melodyne may not always identify all the notes correctly. To edit recordings successfully, of course, you have to be aware of certain things. Melodyne distinguishes automatically between sound sources that are monophonic (such as a vocalist, a bass guitar or a trumpet), polyphonic (such as a piano or rhythm guitar) or percussive (such as a drum or cymbal) and displays single notes, chords or strokes accordingly. Which instruments can I edit with Melodyne?Īll instruments, basically. Once you understand the possibilities of Melodyne, your whole view of audio editing will change. You will see Melodyne as a universal audio tool and use it accordingly. But even a good performance sometimes has weaknesses – moments where the intonation or the timing is slightly out – and it is precisely these that you can bring under control with Melodyne. And for such things, there are no parameters – not even in Melodyne. Because a perfect vocal take is about emotion, expressiveness, vitality and musicality. And not even Melodyne can help a really bad one. Technology is no substitute for a good singer. Melodyne is versatile and its main value to you could lie elsewhere.Ĭorrecting intonation? I’d rather just work with vocalists who can sing in tune. You could use Melodyne to bring your vocal tracks as close to perfection as possible. But it does not always have to be about perfection.
