Pros

I produce all of my music and Melodyne is my go-to for vocal tuning! It works great and can be very subtle and effective if done in the right way!

Cons

I think there is definitely a learning curve, and it's time consuming. I wish they would alert you if a change you made is creating artifacts in the audio, so that you can catch mistakes earlier.

I am yet to find another software that would come close to what Melodyne is capable of.

Pros

I am so glad i discovered this piece of art, Melodyne 5. Finally, a tool that can detect and mark the annoying sibilants. Melodyne has saved me a lot of time spent on cleaning and muffling down sibilants. I can now easily optimize our vocal recordings and even put some emphasis on sibilants. Another essential feature that comes with Melodyne is the ability to fade individual notes. This has been very effective in normalizing the audios which have the occasional laughter outbursts that make the peaks go wild during casual podcast interviews.

Cons

As with any great piece of art, Melodyne took me a while to understand it. For effective use, I had to learn how to read the pitch curve. It is equally very pricey especially the Studio version at close to €700.

Melodyne offers more flexibility than Flex pitch in Logic Pro

Melodyne is a fun and perfect pitch adjusting tool. I always have fun using it.

Pros

I have used various pitch correcting tools such as Flexi in Logic but Melodyne is very easy and probably addictive almost using it in all my productions. At first I was having issues with having to constantly go back to readjust pitch in Melodyne every time i made audio adjustments in the DAW. Of course this happened whenever i used the insert on track option to insert audio in Melodyne. Happily, Sound Forge has ARA capabilities and my working with Melodyne has been greatly improved. Melodyne allows me to correct each note individually without a problem.

Cons

It took me a while to be able to interpret the blobs waveforms but nothing much to complain about Melodyne

It helped me doing the impossible. I am happy I used Melodyne in my audio/midi projects.

Pros

I used Melodyne mostly for my midi creation projects but the best thing about this plugin is that it can take any armature level vocals and convert them in to highly professional ones. It is extremely easy to use as well. Anyone with basic DAW knowledge can adapt to it within minutes.

Cons

The sample separation based on pitch is not very accurate for complex and low quality audio files. There should be an option to automatically delete a certain pitch range, this would save a lot of time.

Afinar vocales con Melodyne es increíble, se pueden obtener resultados realmente satisfactrios

Pros

El programa es una genialidad, puede afinar tus vocales de una manera que se escuche muy natural, tiene funciones increíbles, manipula la voz de una manera increíble, puede imitar el efecto autotune también, y lo hace de una manera muy satisfactoria

Cons

La interfaz del programa es un poco complicada, y resulta difícil entenderla a menos que mires algún tutorial, sería genial que esté un poco más optimizado ya que a veces utiliza un poco más del CPU

I use melodyne to perform more natural pitch correct to the vocals of my artists without getting a much robotic sound.

Pros

The manual pitch correction and manipulation in graph mode was mind blowing for harmony creation too.

Cons

I first found the non labeled tools in the interface a bit confusing.
