MELODYNE CRE8 DESCRIPTION
 
Audio Tracks Are Putty in Your Hands!
From the people who produce the astonishing Melodyne Studio Edition comes Melodyne cre8, a powerful pitch and time processing application for project studios. Melodyne cre8 allows you to change the musical parameters of voices or instruments without changing the character of the audio track!

Celemony Melodyne cre8 at a Glance:
  • Manipulate the pitch and rhythm of audio tracks
  • Easy time stretching, pitch shifting and formant correction
  • Detects pitches and displays them for you to edit
  • Just grab a note and move it!
  • Make changes on the fly!
  • Preserves phrasing of melodic lines
  • Timing changes are just as easy
  • Arrange your music as you always wanted to

Manipulate the pitch and rhythm of audio tracks
Melodyne cre8 is able to change the musical parameters of voices or instruments without any actual influence on the character of the recording. Melodyne detects the pitch and the rhythm, leaving you free to manipulate the audio material at will. Any changes you make are interpreted by the software in a musically intelligent manner and the results always sound natural. Working with Melodyne cre8 is as easy as editing notes with MIDI.

Easy time stretching, pitch shifting and formant correction
Pitch shifting and time stretching were awkward operations in the pre-Melodyne age, too problematical to even bother with unless things had gone badly wrong. In Melodyne cre8, they're a breeze! You can perform time stretching, pitch shifting or formant correction without even thinking; just grab the notes already recognized by the software and move them around in pitch or time and everything will sound as you would musically expect it to. Or you can move the tempo slider during playback, and Melodyne cre8 will make the music accelerate or slow down without this in any way affecting the pitch - just like an orchestra following the conductor's baton.

Detects pitches and displays them for you to edit
With Melodyne cre8 you can record single melody tracks like with any other hard disk recording software, or you can import them into your arrangement as audio files. It is not essential that the timing, pitch or musical scale of imported melodies match those of your current arrangement - it's easy for Melodyne cre8 to adapt them. If you want to edit a melody, just double-click on it and after a short pause (while the software detects the individual notes) Melodyne cre8's editor will open. The notes appear in their actual positions in terms of time and pitch, and you will also see the exact phrasing of a melody line.

Just grab a note and move it!
Melodyne cre8 lets you simply grab a note and move it to any pitch or time position you like. The transition between notes is handled at all times in a way that makes musical sense, and automatic formant correction always makes the moved note sound the way you expect it to. Detected melodies can be played back via MIDI, including all the controller data needed for an expressive performance - volume, pitch bend etc. The tone generation could be supplied by an external MIDI module or else by VST instruments hosted by Melodyne cre8. Naturally you can export your MIDI data as well.

Change music while it plays
All changes in Melodyne cre8 can be made on the fly even while the melody is running - you will hear your changes take effect as soon as you move the notes. You can also make the moved notes snap to the nearest semitone or to a defined musical scale, or even define a new scale for the entire melody or selected notes by clicking the scale selector buttons on the left hand side of the editor.

Preserves phrasing of melodic lines
When you make a change in Melodyne cre8, the phrasing inside a note, such as vibrato, will be kept - but you can also edit the phrasing by reducing or adding vibrato or changing the transition curve between notes. Extreme reduction would result in the unnatural 'straight pitch' that is a marked feature of many recent pop songs. Of course, you could copy and paste notes or melody lines to arrange them as a harmony choir. Formants can be adapted to emulate male or female voices and even convert a trumpet into a trombone.

Timing changes are just as easy
It's just as easy to change the timing of a note as its pitch with Melodyne cre8. Just grab it and move it to the desired position. Depending on which tool you choose, the notes following the moved note will be shortened or moved backwards or forwards in time. If you time-stretch a note, it isn't stretched uniformly after the crude fashion of rival software; instead, the attack remains unchanged, so consonants at the beginning of words do not lose their intelligibility and the characteristic starting transients and incidental noise that play a vital part in helping us to identify different instruments are preserved -the sound of the fingernails on a plucked string, for example. Should you wish to, of course, you could use Melodyne cre8 to change only the starting transients and not the note itself, to change staccato to legato or vice versa.

Arrange your music as you always wanted to
In Melodyne cre8's arrange window, all your melodies are displayed with all their notes. So you can see at a glance what's on a track without even listening. Here you can move tracks around, and copy or loop melodies. You can save detected melodies for re-use in another arrangement. Remember, it's easy to slot a new melody into an arrangement - even one with a different tempo, tonality or pitch. Melodyne cre8 will let you perform audio magic!

“I use SONAR, which comes with a respectable pitch correction feature, so I was reluctant to buy something that duplicated functionality I already had. But so many folks on the SONAR forum raved about Melodyne I took a chance on it.

And man, am I glad I did. This package is truly awesome. Not only is pitch correction easy, but the greatest advantage is the ease with which I can fix...” Read More
