Celemony Melodyne 5 Editor Note-Based Audio Editor Software (Download) Overview
Available for download, Celemony Melodyne 5 Editor is pitch-and-time-shifting software that is well-regarded for its ability to tune and rhythmically realign notes. Professional mixing engineers often use Melodyne to heighten the performance of parts that don’t quite make the cut, either in monophonic or polyphonic situations.
Version 5 boasts many new features and various improvements over version 4. A New Fade tool enables the precise control of dynamics, allowing you to naturally change the level and intensity of any note without traditional compression or automation. A Level Macro can execute dynamics control in a more broadstroke manner, without sacrificing musical results. Control sibilance more effectively without instantiating a dedicated de-esser, all by using the new Sibilant tool.
The new Melodic algorithm tunes material in such a way as to preserve its fundamental humanity and natural sound. It also has sibilance detection. For tuned instruments such as tablas or 808 kick drums, Melodyne 5 Editor offers a new Percussive Pitch algorithm. Editing chords is also much easier thanks to the new Chord Track.
Overhauls have been made in integrating shortcuts and saving presets. Also, the file-saving system has been revamped: no more separate .mdd files; all detection data is now saved to the audio file itself, simplifying your file directory in the process.
Melodyne 5 Editor is a standalone piece of production software, but it can communicate with your DAW via ARA integration; also you can use the sotware as a VST, AU, or AAX plug-in. It is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems.
New to Melodyne 5
- Fade Tool: extensive control of dynamics with note-based fades
- Sibilant Tool: per-note adjustment of volume ratio between pitched and unpitched vocal sounds (de-essing)
- New Melodic algorithm with sibilant detection for natural-sounding results
- New Leveling macro to reduce or eliminate excessive volume disparities between notes
- New Percussive Pitched algorithm for instruments such as tabla, berimbau, or 808 kick drums
- search functions for keyboard shortcuts, saving of shortcut sets
New Features in Version 5
- Psychoacoustically Accurate Pitch Correction: Sometimes an out-of-tune note needs to stay untweaked to preserve the humanity of a performance. Sometimes a note needs to be tuned to sound correct. Melodyne can now better identify and pin down the all important human element while tuning vocal. The software can identify problem areas precisely, and the offset shown in the Note Inspector will be calculated from the pitch of each note at the crucial moment only, rather than its duration. As a result, double-clicking a note value can now yield a musical, correct result. Each individual note is pitched to perfection. Yet everything still sounds natural and alive
- Chord Track and Chord Grid: Melodyne 5 Editor offers a chord track that is linked to the Pitch Grid in the Note Editor. This makes working with chords far more enjoyable and working with harmonies much more transparent. Because you can see which pitches are compatible with the current chord at any time, you can adapt the notes accordingly with lightning speed. This is helpful when you’re altering chords, and if you want to match any sample harmonically to your music
- Robust Pitch Curve: With this new option, you can obtain better sound quality when editing certain signals, such as those with a great deal of reverberation. When it is activated, the monophonic algorithms employ a pitch curve that has been slightly smoothed out
- Improved Complex Algorithm: This algorithm has been improved, and can now be used just as flexibly as the Tonal algorithm when it comes to formant preservation and manipulation
- Better Keyboard Shortcut: A new search function for keyboard shortcuts has been added, and the saving of personalized shortcut sets has been improved
- No More .mdd Files: Melodyne’s detection data, which was previously saved to separate .mdd files, is now stored in the audio files themselves, making file directories clearer, and the sharing of projects easier
