What's New in Melodyne 5:
New technologies, for better results in less time.Thanks to the fundamentally improved “Melodic” algorithm, Melodyne makes your vocal editing even better than before. With perfect and natural corrections on pressing a key. Thanks to the chord range, you can adapt notes with the speed of light to suit the included music chord recognition. And with the unique Fade tool, you can create note-based fades - even on polyphonic recordings and samples.
All this is new:
- the ability to edit tuned and similar noise components separately with the "Melodic" algorithm
- a more musical analysis of pitch deviations
- o Chord Track and Chord Grid for editing pitch,chord recognition
- fade tool and level macro to edit dynamics
- an additional algorithm ("Percussive Pitched") plus other improvements to the algorithm
- functions of search for keyboard shortcuts, saving shortcutsets
Vocals, a now even better
Melodyne increases her core competency. The "Melodic" algorithm used for vocals can now distinguish the irrelevant, noise-like components of a note - that is, voiceless consonants (such as sibilants like "s") and breath sounds - from their tuned components. Even when they match. And while all pitch changes and timing are implemented in a tried and true way with respect to tuned components, different rules that accurately simulate the natural behavior of the human voice govern sibilant handling. So now, when you work with Melodyne, you get automatically the highest possible sound quality and the most natural sounding results.
Pros will be relieved to find that it is no longer necessary to isolate every sibilant by hand. This saves a lot of time and contributes to a more meaningful display in the Note Editor. At the same time, the results sound much better as automation works with more precision and overlaps between squeakers and released components are taken into account.
Squeak detection not only brings acoustic advantages, but also new creative possibilities: With the Sibilant Tool, you can adjust the balance between the sibilants and the high components of a note. Sibilants can be attenuated, completely muted, emphasized or even isolated - anything is possible. So, in the bargain, you get a perfect dialer that only affects the problem areas and has no side effects on other components of the vocal sound.
Modeled in human hearing
Why do some notes sound out of tune and others not? Fluctuations in pitch contribute to the quality of a vocal performance because it is through them that passion and emotional complexity find expression. They give, in other words, its human dimension. But for your contribution to be positive, the nature, scope, and precise timing of such fluctuations are of crucial importance.
A note does not necessarily look sharp or flat just because it is not "mathematically" mathematically. Only a few segments of the note, usually very brief, bother us. Sometimes at the beginning, sometimes at the end, sometimes somewhere in between. It is these crucial segments that need to be perfectly tuned; if they are, the note will be correct for us. The presence of fluctuations before or after these segments doesn't bother us - on the contrary, we feel that they add life to the performance and sound natural.
Melodyne now identifies these problem areas accurately, and the offset shown in the Grade Inspector is calculated from the pitch of each note only at the crucial moment - and not throughout its lifetime. As a result, double-clicking (to set a note's offset to zero) now produces precisely the right musical result. In addition, the macro benefits from this new approach even more musical: each individual note is launched to perfection. However, everything still sounds natural and alive.
The chord range and chord grid
Work better with chords, adapt notes quickly. Melodyne 5 provides a chord range linked to the tuning grid in the NoteEditor. This makes working with chords much more enjoyable and harmonies more transparent. Because you can see at any time which tones are compatible with the current chord, and you can adapt the notes according to the speed of light. This is useful when you are changing chords and if you want to combine any sample harmonically with your music, it works like a dream.
Autopilot for chords. Melodyne's chord recognition technology is so advanced that it can consider separate tracks or together - even the entire mix - and identify the chords formed when their notes are combined. It analyzes your recordings quickly and reliably and fills the chord range automatically. This makes working with chords even easier.
Dynamic Functions
Fade based on notes The Fade tool provides highly effective control over the dynamics of your recording. For each notaindividually. Even within a chord. This is unique and offers entirely new creative possibilities for dynamic editing. And since in Melodyne fades belong to notes, they are automatically preserved when notes are moved or copied.
Controlling the dynamic range. Smoothing Macro makes high notes quieter and quieter, adjusts volume disparities. Even - thanks to Melodyne technology - in polyphonic recordings. So if one or more notes in a chord are too quiet and muffled by the rest, you can effortlessly raise them to the desired level.
Additional Algorithm Improvements
"Percussive Pitched". This new algorithm was developed especially for instruments such as tabla, berimbau or 808-kick, whose notes - although percussive - still have a recognizable tone.
"Robust slope curve". With this new option, you can get better sound quality when editing certain signals, such as those with a lot of reverberation. When enabled, monophonic algorithms employ a slightly smoothed pitch curve.
"Complex". This reproduction type of the algorithm has been improved and can now be used with the same flexibility as the “Tone” reproduction type for formants.
Other improvements
Best keyboard shortcuts. New keyboard shortcut search function, saving custom shortcut sets has been improved.
There are no more ".mdd" files. Melodyne's detection data, which was previously saved to separate “.mdd” files, is now stored in the audio files themselves, making file directories clearer and sharing projects easier.
