It begs the question;

Why commit to anything?

And,

what part of anything is "you"?

Or

is anybody here gonna sell more records cuz of it?

I've used it a few times. You can't stay in it, and moving in and out of your
app gets pedantic after a while. It needs to be one, all you need program.
It "is" the future of computer music. Until then, me and my pals will just play the parts.

If yer a tweak-head, get ready to grease up your pee pee.

I've been really proud of myself not making impulse buys this year based on this damn forum. If this was still 2007 I would have bought it 2 pages into this thread. I just don't find myself in the market too often for pitch correction or sample dissecting. If I ever do I'm sure I'll hit this up.

Wouldn't have thought that my post would provoke such a lively response

Celemony are just round the corner from where I live, maybe I should visit them and find out more!?

nebulae wrote:well, I don't think this can unmix a mix...but it seems to work off multiple pitches, ideally the same instrument...I see this as being great for changing notes in single tracks, be they guitars, pianos, drums, or say multiple backing vocals submixed. But as another poster said, if you have a track that's got piano and guitar, and they play the same notes, you can move the notes, but you can't separate the instruments.

Yes of course. I was joking about that part.

i wonder how it works though< i guess fft selection of frequency bands then pitching as per normal melodyne.

So, i wonder if it could then reject all else, i.e. non pitched and other notes, which might mean that you could actually use it for exrtacting 'pellsa.

how much easier would that make this forum.

"How would I extract the accapella from the new Snoop Dog record"\\

Get melodyne

cheers

This is so amazing! Now you can move audio files around just like midi notes!!!!! Its a revolution!!!

I wonder how far you can split up things. Imagine taking a complete song and have all the tracks instantly separated, free for you to shift them in pitch however you like!!!!

Pretty amazing stuff for sure.

Being able to go inside an audio wave and pick out individual notes in a chord and manipulate them - wow, I didn't think we'd see that for years to come yet, so kudos to Melodyne.

Although I see Knotkranky's point of view too - I am a bit of a traditionalist and not into pitch correction tools generally (I prefer to do lots of takes and comp them for best transparency or replay/drop in duff notes etc), but I can see how useful this would be for the remix market.

Amazing stuff. Melodyne is already impressive but this leaves everyone else standing.

It's also a bit of a paradox that the most innovative piece of audio software should have possibly the worst GUI - the mixer window is hysterical.

I was straining to hear the actual quality of the sound because that fucking narrator just wouldn't shut up.

"As you can hear, the sound is as natural as when it was recorded..."

I would be able to hear that if only you'd stop talking about fucking "meedee" over the top of it!

It was almost as if they'd done it on purpose to cover up the warbling; precisely as the cursor reached the guitar notes they'd just edited, old "verbal diahorrea man" chimed in with a bit of meaningless marketing drivel.

Um - WTF?!?

Looks like it's only a matter of time before you'll be able to split a full music track into it's individaul parts, and the extract the sounds from it. This was always thought to be impossible.

I'll be watching VERY carefully.

hehe
i doubt this version will have that, but i can imagine in another decade you can import an mp3 and Ableton will generate a .ALS file with all the multi tracks! haha

well with all the perfection needed in morden pop this is needed. Everything has to be perfect. Just sad that the live performances often stand back when it comes with vocal qualities because they aren't perfectionated.

it creates a fake image, but thats the way it works today (its a bit like makeup and plastic surgery, now they can also make their voices more perfect

)

but freddie mercury used no autotune
