In this case, balancing what I think the artist’s intentions were with what I think the melody ought to be, I’ve chosen 70% as the sweet spot for pitch center before proceeding to fine-tune individual notes.

These adjustments are non-destructive, so if you change your mind later you’re free to tweak or revert as you see fit. The settings you choose here will vary from one track to the next, and clearly correcting to the chord scale at 100% is a stylistic choice that may not be the best option for every tune. You can also control the strength of the correction independently for pitch centre and drift. By default, it will correct to the nearest semitone, but you can also select “Snap to chord scale” if the chords have been defined. The Correct Pitch Macro puts a lot of power into a few controls. My first stop was the Correct Pitch Macro, which allows you to pull an errant track (or just the notes you’ve selected) into line with a few quick settings. I then switched the pitch grid to chord mode so that I could focus on the vocal melody and see how far it strayed from what the band was playing. In one case, the harmonics in an open fifth power chord may have suggested a major chord where the songwriter’s intention was clearly minor – easily fixed by typing the correct chord into the Chord Track. Melodyne had no trouble analyzing the tempo, key and chord structure, with a couple of minor exceptions.

My power ballad example consisted of two stereo tracks: a solo vocal track and full band mix. One friend enthusiastically promised me tracks that would “make your milk go bad.” To round out our deep dive, I’ve also put my Wurlitzer 200 under the microscope, and taken some time to get to know the Sound Editor. Like any aspect of musicianship, pitch can get personal, and not everyone likes sharing their work before it’s finished and sounding its best. To get started, I put out the call to some producer friends for problematic tracks to explore with Melodyne – “pitchy stems” was my actual request – and I wasn’t sure what the response would be. With rhythmic and complex material, such as when several notes occur on the same beat, editing options include modifying the pitch, position, length, volume, attack speed, and time course within notes.As promised in my previous article, we’re taking a closer look at Melodyne, starting with some basic practical applications and then exploring some of its more esoteric features.

With monophonic signals you can modify pitch, pitch drift, pitch modulation, position, modifying the position, length, attack speed, time course within notes, pitch or volume of any transition between notes, and overall volume. Pitch shifting and time stretching are easier than ever. Using Melodyne Editor 2 you can modify various note parameters such as volume, vibrato, formant spectrum, and perform in-depth editing of the timing of notes. It is ideal for transposition, including adjustment to scale, and for the creation and editing of scales, or extraction of scales from recording.

Melodyne Editor 2 is ideal for manual or automatic correction of intonation and timing errors or for refashioning of melodies, harmonies, timing and rhythm.
