Notes,

Why do you think you need this? Melodyne is almost exclusively used for pitch correction/manipulation. If you just need audio editing, there are MANY cheaper audio editors, some of which have pedestrian pitch correction. So, was there a reason you are going for one of the most expensive products?



1) Recommended in a different thread by a few people, including Peter Gannon. I was discussing some things I could edit in MIDI files that I could not edit with audio files, changing notes and a few other things. I've always been able to do extensive editing of BiaB output when it is in MIDI. I don't mess with the Real Tracks because I find editing them very limited and time intensive. Having a note based editor instead of simply waveform display seems like a good idea to me.

2) Pitch to MIDI seems like it could be useful. I could record a live track into PTPro with my sax or guitar and render it to MIDI for use in making styles (if that works). I can do a very good job recording MIDI with my wind controller, keyboard controller and percussion controller, but there are some limitations inherent in those controllers and sometimes it's just easier to pick up the sax or guitar.

Actual pitch correction I do not need. I know there is a tc correction in PTPro but I've never even investigated it. I manipulate pitch intentionally. If I want to hit the note flat and scoop up to it, I'll do that. If I want to "press on" a melody note to make it a tiny bit flat for effect, I'll do that. If I want the top voice of a horn section a bit sharp and the bottom a bit flat, I'll do that too.

I love MIDI and I don't think it is going anywhere, especially for pro musicians. But a lot of BiaB is leaning towards audio, so I figure I need to jump on board.

Notes



Then that is the product. Have you checked out the Chet Baker example from Melodyne? Pretty convincing. I'm not sure it would work with a dense orchestration, but for trio type of orchestration, seems to work pretty well in their demos.
