About Melodyne
Melodyne is software from Celemony for analyzing and editing audio at the level of individual notes. The vendor says vocals, samples and other recordings can be corrected, rearranged, restructured and even transformed, aiming for natural, musical results.
It is used to fix pitch and timing in vocals and instrument performances, and also for creative restructuring of recorded material. Celemony publishes a separate product called Tonalic, which uses real studio performances by musicians adapted to a song's chords, tempo and groove instead of loops or MIDI instruments.
Melodyne is commercial software, sold by Celemony and used alongside digital audio workstations. It suits vocal producers, mix engineers and musicians who need detailed, note-level control over pitch and timing.
