It’s the little things that count with version 5 of Celemony’s amazing polyphonic pitch correction system, as the headline improvements over v4 are all about “core competence” - specifically, the ability to separately process and balance the unpitched and breath components of vocal tracks, and better weighting of pitch deviations, for “better results, less time spent editing, and a more natural sound”. Dynamics handling also gets an upgrade, in the shape of the Fade Tool and Leveling Macro, which apply fades to individual notes within chords, and reduce dynamic range by making loud notes quieter and quiet notes louder, respectively. The new Chord Track and Chord Grid, meanwhile, are useful for conforming audio clips to the harmonic profile of your project; and the Percussive Pitched algorithm caters to the likes of tabla and 808s.
Melodyne 5 is available in Essential (€99), Assistant (€249), Editor (€399) and Studio (€699) editions.
