Thomas Dolby Gives His Own Review Of Melodyne Editor
Thomas Dolby has posted his personal review of Melodyne Editor at his site – and he’s hyperactive about it:
I think this is a fabulous, magical piece of software.
I always thought of pitch/time shifting tools as something you could apply to monophonic content, but that complex or polyphonic content was strictly out of bounds.
After using Melodyne’s DNA (Direct Note Access) technology I’ve had a revelation: an audio recording is just a bunch of fundamentals and harmonics represented as digital data, that can be analysed, segmented and manipulated, all non-destructively.
Dolby adds that he isn’t affiliated with Melodyne – he just thinks it’s a fabulous piece of kit.
If you’re not familiar with Melodyne Editor – it’s an audio editor that lets you edit individual notes within polyphonic recorded audio. See our previous Melodyne posts for details.
