Now You Can Fix (or intentionally screw with) Individual Notes Within a Recorded Chord

The Celemony/Melodyne product is an awesome one, which used to let you fix any notes that were individually recorded. Now you can correct, say, the individual strings of a guitar chord, or the late timing of the tenor in your barbershop quartet.

I haven't played with it...I wonder if this will allow deep editing of more complex mixes. Voice removal from commercial recordings? Putting your own guitar part into...
oh, I'm getting ahead of myself.

I'm sure there's as much artistic mischief as there is slave-like conformity that can be accomplished with this. Can't wait!

I am so completely amazed that someone finally figured out how to accomplish this task that I purchased their current software in anticipation of the fall update. Bravo to Celemony and some truly creative thinking. It will be interesting to see how far this tool can be pushed, since the demos only have individual polyphonic tracks and no mixes.

During the demos at Celemony's booth at Musikmesse, you could find out what it sounds like when 10..20 jaws drop in unison. :)

Wow. Melodyne was jaw-dropping even when it handled only monophonic audio. I remember asking Professor Peter years ago how far off a polyphonic version was. He chuckled a little, but I think he beat his estimate.

Another cool thing about Melodyne is its file browser, which, having already done the work of analyzing the audio, displays it in music notation, rather than just text.
