Learn more about Melodyne Studio 3:

With version 3, Melodyne is no longer limited to melodies but offers a unique algorithm that can perform high quality time stretching on full chords and complex audio signals; so now harmonic material (such as rhythm guitar or piano parts)”whether homophonic or polyphonic”can be transposed (without altering the tempo), slowed down or sped up (without altering the pitch) and even quantized. What's more, all this can be done in real time with the sound quality for which Melodyne is famous.

Very high quality time stretching and pitch shifting”even for polyphonic and complex audio material
Whether the material contains block chords (homophony) or parts that are melodically and rhythmically independent (polyphony), Melodyne3 is able to apply pitch shifting, time stretching and quantization to it in real time”and the sound quality is all you would expect from Melodyne. This uniquely flexible way of handling audio material will lead to a whole new style of working in the studio: with Melodyne3, the note-based rearrangement and remixing of songs are child's play, offering producers new creative options when dealing with harmonic tracks.

Far more reliable note recognition
The analysis now takes account automatically of the type of audio material, obviating the need for further programming. If you are batch processing a set of files of the same type, you can also create and store your own recognition templates.

Macros for the correction of intonation and timing errors
The macros introduced by Melodyne uno for the swift correction of notes that are out of tune or mistimed as well as for creative requantization are now also available in the multi-track versions.

Simpler arrangement editing
New global tempo parameters in the Transport pane
New intuitive tempo control using the 'Auto-stretch' function
More efficient tempo control making the existing arrangement tools superfluous
Context-sensitive Move Notes tool
Tempo/Time signature changes can be typed in quickly in the Bar/Time ruler

More powerful editing functions
When you load a single audio file, the Editor opens automatically
Simpler export of edited audio files”all export parameters are set automatically to the correct values
Efficient combi-tools streamline the editing of pitch, formants, amplitude and time, making the existing tools superfluous
You can now access the commands in the tool-based action menus directly from the Edit menu, without needing to change tools
Blobs can be transposed using Local Sound Synthesis audition control
You can toggle between the two most recently used tools using a user-definable keyboard shortcut

Data-related improvements
Batch processing in the Melody Manager
Compatibility with Liquid Sounds from Ueberschall

Improvements in the layout and workflow
New navigation and zoom shortcuts in the Arranger and Editor
Grid size for editing can be set quickly in the Bar/Time ruler
Easy scrubbing with the Bar ruler in the Arranger and Editor

Celemony Melodyne plugin integrates the most important of Melodyne's functions directly into a host sequencer. Correct pitch and timing, quantize audio, restructure melodies and more”it has never been so easy. Supported interfaces are VST, AU and RTAS.

With the ultra-flexible Melodyne plugin, editing audio becomes fast and easy. Thanks to its musical display, unique time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithms, unmatched sound quality and intuitive operation, Melodyne plugin makes the resolution of timing and intonation problems child's play, thereby simplifying, and increasing the efficiency of, day-to-day music production in the studio. At the same time, Melodyne plugin offers fantastic creative possibilities way beyond the scope of conventional audio software.

Melodyne plugin's main area of application is the intuitive correction of the intonation and timing of vocal recordings”a sensitive task it performs supremely well and in the highly musical manner for which Melodyne software is known all over the world. Once you have transferred to Melodyne plugin the passages you wish to edit, you can edit with great precision the pitch, vibrato, drift, timing, volume, and formants of every note in the recording individually! Intelligent tools that adapt automatically to the current task streamline the workflow, whilst for the two commonest tasks, correcting errors of intonation and timing, Melodyne plugin provides the Correct Pitch and Quantize Time macros that allow you to optimize an entire recording with a single mouse-click.

With Melodyne plugin you can edit and optimize not only vocals but also single-voice instrumental recordings as well as drum and percussion tracks in an extraordinarily flexible way. With a drum loop, for example, you can alter the position, length, pitch and volume of individual hits, straighten up the timing, make the whole loop swing, or even give it an entirely new rhythm through re-quantization.

Melodyne's famous algorithm for single-voice material as well as a new algorithm for percussive material ensure that even when you introduce extreme modifications, the results remain impressively natural and the sound quality is in no way impaired. The programmable scale snap function provides for harmonically correct transposition, and the multi-level Undo function for relaxed editing. Virtual knobs that can be automated in the host and controlled via MIDI offer real-time control of Pitch, Formants, and Volume.
