Watch the videos, you're talking a whole other universe. Here's just one example, using the copy feature to create vocal harmonies from one original part. Singers use vocal vibrato all the time but harmony singers usually don't because different singers have different vibratos so if all of them are singing with vibrato it will sound like a bunch of warbles. Therefore just copying a vocal track and keeping that exact vibrato for each harmony part sounds fake. Melodyne actually displays that vibrato and can modify it. How cool is that? I had no idea it can do that so using your mouse you can actually remove the vocal vibrato, nothing to do with pitch tuning, just the vibrato. Plus it has a humanize function to slightly randomize the harmony parts to closely emulate what real singers would be doing. The best singers in the world can't precisely match what they're doing relative to the other singers, there's always some slight variations.

This is just the basic Essentials. You should see the vids about the full Edit program working with multitrack parts like guitar, drums or keyboard parts with full chords. We could take Real Tracks parts and completely change them. But of course if you're talking the full Edit version, that costs real money.

Overall though Melodyne is looking pretty slick.
