Re: Melodyne anyone?



I guessed as much... Ill leave it at that then... Just saw some impressive demos, but I suspect that the demos are created to show it off to the best, and reality is no doubt another kettle of fish!

I've temporarily used Melodyne for some time when reviewing it in a
magazine and I tend to speak with producers that need it on a daily
basis. I wouldn't say "separate audio parts can be separated", but
very well separate melodic parts in an ensemble. For a choir piece you
get a perfect separation and option to adjust each separate singer,
but with drums and other "not melodic" stuff aboard I don't know what
gives. Whether the recording is stereo or mono is no big deal, it is
the tonal separation that is in focus.

If I was save a recording like that I would try to first use EQ to
create different files of the recording where each part, to be tunes,
is maximally prominent. After that I would apply re-tuning to those
files and finally sum them to re-create the full piece (now tuning
corrected). With that technique I think you can be rather brutal on a
"vocal part file" in order to take out drums; simply use dynamic
automation to EQ out all frequencies of every drum hit (compensating
lost level by automating up the volume during the hit, to keep the
vocal at a good level). This will keep you busy to late december, then
you might take a shower and have a bite for Christmas and finish it up
the edits by maybe mid january...  :-)
