Hi Pat,

I've just looked at some Youtube clips on Melodyne. It's very impressive! Certainly makes tuning and re-pitching a very simple process. You've got me thinking that I should look at it, too.

Thanks for all the above information,
Noel




Hi Noel! great to hear from you again!
For the past few days I've been downloading and experimenting with every pitch/timing correction plugin I can find. The only one I truly covet is Melodyne, but ironically it's the one that doesn't work as a plugin in RB. But, I'll cope.

If you get the Editor version with DNA (the ability to edit tracks with more than one note playing at the same time) the potential use in RealBand starts to get interesting. You could literally move notes in a passage generated by a real track and produce a melody!

MY main reason for wanting it is because I tend to play many tracks in a song myself. Whereas in a band of real people my timing would be approximately as imperfect as theirs, when I play alongside instruments with perfect timing, my um... shall we say "syncopation" ? (yeah, that's the ticket...) my timing sounds noticeably different. OK, worse. I said it out loud.

Melodyne provides a VERY easy way to clean up that sort of thing... it's like a lint brush for music. No matter how good a tux you may have, it will look better if you remove the tiny almost unnoticeable bits of lint before wearing it.

Keep us posted if you decide to get it (or something else)
