Essential does not have all the fancy stuff like DNA and polyphonic editing, but it handles the simple pitch correction quite well from what I read.



A lot of products do a good job of pitch correction... but what sets Melodyne apart from all the others is its ability to let you edit audio at the note level, using the same note editing paradigm as Piano Roll.

As such, you can fix a lot more than pitch problems. And it is actually more intelligent than piano roll editing. For example, in piano roll,if you stretch a note to make it longer or shorter, it creates either a dead space between the edited note and the adjacent note, or it creates an overlap. Melodyne "knows" that if you change the starting or ending point of a note, the adjacent note needs to adjust its start point, end point , or length to accommodate... and it takes care of it automatically!

Therefore, You can actually quantize a badly timed audio track with Melodyne!


You can also change many more things with Melodyne that are not possible with other audio editors.
