You can hear that VariAudio sounds similar to the other two formant-preserving algorithms (Melodyne and MPEX). Here are the results, and they are expectedly similar: Ok, nevermind instrument sounds, I’ve just took a vocal sound from today’s session and conducted the same test. For instance, on solo acoustic guitar I once applied it to a clarinet solo, because clarinet sounded significantly out of tune, I did it on flute several times, always with transparent results. As for formant correction applications, I would use it on any solo instrument, not only vocal, and I actually do it sometimes. I don’t see why it’s irrelevant – physical laws are the same for any kind of sounds.
You wouldn’t normally use it on a piano, or other instrument (except for a special effect). It’s not really relevant whether a variaudio’d piano note sounds similar to an MPEX’d one.įormant correction is primarily for vocals.
If you have the cash available just grab it, VA IS pretty nice these days but for MANY tasks NOTHING beats MS4. Studio One Professional includes a fully licensed copy of Melodyne Essential 5, while Studio One. This is accomplished with new co-developed technology and it is only possible with Studio One. Studio One features a unique pitch-correction solution: It tightly integrates with Celemony’s Melodyne, a high-quality commercial pitch-correction software. I’ve used it on all the ‘obvious’ things like vox, guitars (pre amp sim works best), bass (my left hand ain’t what it was since i got arthritis), turned our sax players sax into a clarinet (as per one of the example videos) and even built several conga ‘performances’ with it creating fills and nuances that weren’t in the original loops (Shovell from MPeople available on loopmasters) MS4 is just one of the most amazing things ever invented IMHO… Pitch Correction with Melodyne Integration.
MELODYNE UPDATE UPGRADE
Melodyne4… Apart from not having ARA within cubase i cannot think of enough superlatives… it’s like turning your audio into playdough/plasticine, I jumped on the upgrade from Editor2 to Studio4 the day it was released and haven’t looked back… i very often sit here after doing certain operations in MS4 just shaking my head and laughing as it’ll do things ‘you just should not be able to do’… or they should be made illegal! To echo what others have said… VA for quick fixes, integration is great and it’s MUCH improved since its initial conception. Then it should be as easy to use just as VA already is: Once upon a day I hope we’ll get ARA implementation in Cubase.
MELODYNE UPDATE SOFTWARE
If something weird is in my mind, I definately use Melodyne - this software has gone a long way from simple vocal correction to… magic mushrooms for your ears Absolutely unrivaled in this regard! If the job is to tweak a good vocal performance closer to perfection I usually use VariAudio just because it is simpler and sounds great. basically the same story) to get transparent results.
MELODYNE UPDATE MANUAL
Anyway, MDs analysis may also need some manual rework (again: cutting segments, so called ‘blobs’ at sibilants, slides etc. It allows a unique approach of how the sound can be influenced. Melodyne 4 is king when you have more problematic or polyphonic material or want to go wild on sounddesign. As Manike mentioned you can get great results when you use it as a tool, not as a robot, reworking the segmenting when needed (cutting sibilants and slides) is essential.
