Even if you wish to do nothing more than make minor corrections to your vocals from time to time
there’s no need to dispense with Melodyne. Because Melodyne essential – besides being extremely easy to use – offers the same Grammy Award-winning sound quality as the larger editions.
In addition to the features listed above
Melodyne essential offers:
All the algorithms except DNA: This means you can edit monophonic vocal and instrumental tracks
as well as drums
and even entire mixes (by time-stretching or transposing them
for instance). All that’s missing is the ability to edit individual notes played by polyphonic instruments such as the piano or guitar.
Melodyne’s Main Tool: With the Main Tool
you can edit each note’s pitch
timing and duration as well as note separations. This – combined with the macros for pitch
timing and dynamics – allows you to make simple improvements fast
without having to deal with the more advanced functions.
In a nutshell: Melodyne essential is the easy-access point of entry to Melodyne’s unique editing environment – with the option of upgrading to a larger edition at any time
for only the difference in the price of the two editions.
