Want to tune a solo vocal? ...no problem! Want to quantize audio? ...a breeze! Melodyne can easily handle those tasks! However, have you ever tried to change an audio recording from a major key to a minor key, or edit out a wrong note in a chord imbedded in a polyphonic audio recording? How about turning a polyphonic stereo audio recording into corresponding MIDI notes? Impossible, right? Not any more! Enter Melodyne DNA. With the “new” Melodyne, the impossible is now possible. And in this tutorial we’ll teach you how to master these magical techniques and incorporate them into your productions.
When we went searching for an author to create our Melodyne tutorials we went right to the wizards at Celemony and asked them for their recommendation. They enthusiastically pointed us in the direction of South Florida and the audio stomping ground of Melodyne expert and Melodyne Product Specialist: David Andris. So we’re pleased to welcome David Andris and Melodyne into our growing tutorial family.
