安いけど高いんだよなー
Did the upgrade to #Melodyne 5 Studio. I might regret surrendering my Melodyne 4 license, but it looks like v5 Studio can do the VocAlign thing (according to this video). After seeing what happened with VocAlign after the LANDR acquisition, I think I'd rather support Celemony & Melodyne.
#musicproduction and #songwriter folks, PSA: Meldoyne have a deal to upgrade to Studio for cheap but it ends tomorrow. I bought Essential then immediately upgraded to Studio making it nearly 50% off the usual price. This is a pro level tuning tool for vocals so well worth considering. Deal ends tomorrow.
Instead!
I would love easier vocal processing!
I just spent days (!) on chopping vocals, doing minute pitch correction, removing sharp s- and click-noises.
This could have been done by algorithm or AI or whatever! If we have technology that can generate real sounding humanoid voice, we definitely should have technology that can distinguish a sung verse from a breathing noise and then remove the breathing noise.
If we have software like #Autotune that will automatically shift the pitch of a sung note and we have software like #Melodyne that allows me to see and manually shift notes - we can combine these and automate most of the pitch correction process while at the same time leaving it open to adjustments. And simultaneously I should be able to pick all s-noises and remove or diminish them.
Melodyne has been at the top for so many years and it's evolved so little and there's almost no alternative. How is this possible?
Why are companies throwing their money on crappy AI novelties instead of using what's there to improve tedious workflows?
Another little experiment with #demixing with #izotope. This is an ancient stereo cassette recording of my band at a frat party in 1979. The B3 player played a massively wrong chord at one point.
First, I went into the incorrect section and used #Melodyne to remove the wrong chord notes. Then I found the correct chord in a later section, isolated the guitar and keys, and copy/pasted it where the wrong chords had been.
