It is real time-ish, I think. You need to analyse the audio first, but there's no waiting for each operation...

Which goes to show how utterly completely stupidly fast computers have gotten...

That's just me, though. My opinion.

I LOVE to see those creative enough to use tools for something other than their intended purposes, to carve their own path. Lemmings do nothing for me.

I still contend that the best thing that could happen to music would be the elimination of electricity!

get off my lawn?

i walked to school everyday in the rain?

if you want to get into philosophical conversations: when you copy the data. each copy is a new original, just like identical twins.

Jos De Mul, a professor at the uni in Utrecht (Holland) wrote a very good book about the developments of our culture in the digital networked age.

but back on the video: WOW, I'm living in the FUTURE now!

[EDIT]: I'm sending this to William Gibson, he'll be flabbergasted as well!

Can't wait till this is ubiquitous.

It will be.

I have to learn to play chords now for sure!

Goddammit, one more thing I can't wait for now. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!!!

OK am I crazy or is celemony run by wizards? They dont code in programming languages, they code with divine forces of awesomeness. Look at that guy in the video, and tell me he isn't a master of the arcane arts.

can't wait to get home and watch this vid. I am thinking about this chain of events:

voice/guitar-melodyne-max-live. And I'm thinking hard about it.

wow

it's hard to believe that this is possible

if only this was a realtime live feature....

Holy shit. Just watched it. Can't wait till Autumn 2008!

Can't wait to try this when it comes out, being a sound designer I can see a great many things I could do with such a tool boggles the mind really.

This was kind of my reaction too. It's probably not fake per se, but I wonder how flexible it really is. Notice there wasn't much timbre variation in the instruments they demonstrated it on (just acoustic guitars and some distorted e-piano); to the extent doing this is possible I would think the hardest part would be to get consistent recognition of what counts as a single "note" across a wide range of timbres.

(If celemony has really solved this, they have probably solved what amount to some really hard problem in cognitive science, and I hope they aren't going to keep the solutions to themselves!)

This is the direction that I hoped Ableton would have evolved into following their (initial) tradition of elastic audio. Or at the very least, (I expressed this a couple years ago-btw) they should have partnered with this dude instead of the bicycling folks and we would have seen useful fruit bloom by now.

I've been doing this for years using notepad and hand editing wav files. Piece of piss.
