Manufacturer's description

Thanks to its unique audio editing possibilities and its unrivalled sound quality, Melodyne is held in the highest esteem all over the world — by musicians, producers and sound designers; in studios for music, film music, radio and the production of high quality sample libraries. To those who know Melodyne, it is irreplaceable.

Melodyne is the perfect tool for pitch shifting and time stretching in convincingly natural sound quality, for correcting the intonation and timing of singing, for audio quantization, producing harmonies, and remixing and restructuring the melody, tempo or timing of existing recordings. With Melodyne you can actually do the impossible — and do it easily.

Melodyne is intelligent: it recognizes the music in an audio file and represents it directly as notes; in this way, it offers highly intuitive and far-reaching access to the musical material and permits a sensationally flexible and creative way of working: with Melodyne, the music is in the foreground, not the technology.

Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 4 of 5

Pros

Edits pitch, time and tone effortlessly. Generates convincing musical harmonies. Processes polyphonic chord parts. Stripped-down versions available. Half price for students!

Cons

Not a MIDI sequencer. No mixer automation. VSTi compatibility issues.

The bottom line

A unique but less than perfect app that can do some truly amazing things. You may prefer to check out the plug-in version, though.
