Caroline,

I'm going to weigh in on the opinion that the learning curve is NOT that bad. If you have ever edited MIDI notes in piano roll, it works exactly the same way.

You can use it at a very simple level to fix timing problems, pitch problems or to shorten or elongate notes.

The cheapest version of melodyne can do what I just described.
The more expensive versions are capable of more... and that's also where the real learning curve begins.


Even if you aren't using it to pitch correct bad vocals, as an audio editor it has no rival. You can use it to clean up a track in ways other audio editors could not. I see it as a "must have" tool for anybody who is serious about home recording.
