A friend recently sent me a link to the video file below. It’s called the Melodyne Plugin and it’s from a company called Celemony and it’s amazing. Tuning enhancement is something that’s been around for some time, but this is something I never thought would be possible.
I purchased the current version of their plugin for my Logic Express setup and I plan on upgrading to 2.0 (the first version to include their Direct Note Access technology) when it’s released this fall.

Enjoy!

How are you using this? It looks really cool…but it seems like it might be easier for me to just replay the part. Also, it is highly expensive!
I stumbled upon your blog by following the links in your sig on a Harmony Central forum. It looks really great!

Hey Brock,
The Melodyne plugin works a little differently than other plugins I’ve used, though it’s well worth learning. Basically instead of overlaying an effect or setting on top of your originally recorded track in real-time, it first analyzes the recorded track (that you’ve applied the plugin to) and then renders a full accessible waveform that you can manipulate to your ears content.
So the process goes something like this:
1. Record your track
2. Apply the Melodyne plugin to the track
3. Hit the analyze button in the plugin
4. Play back your recorded track
5. Edit away!
Hopefully this make sense. Again, let me say that this plugin is amazing. It’s well worth the $300 if you do much audio recording at all.
