How to fix pitch and timing with the most economical version of Melodyne - [Video] Tap the Power of Melodyne Essential

Published on 09/09/2015 by Mike Levine, last updated on 09/10/2015

Melodyne Essential is the least expensive version of Celemony's acclaimed editing software, and though it doesn't have the same feature set of its big brother Melodyne Editor, it's nevertheless quite powerful if you need to correct pitch and adjust timing.

If you have Cakewalk Sonar X3 or PreSonus Studio One, Melodyne Essential is integrated right into the software. With other DAWs, you can use the plug-in version (Mac/PC) which sells for just $69. In this video, we used Melodyne Essential as a plug-in in Logic Pro X. We show you how its tools work and we demonstrate how to fix pitchiness and adjust phrasing on a recorded vocal track.

Thanks Mike. I have this in S1 as you mentioned, and have never bothered using it. Maybe I should. Thank you again.

You're welcome. Although Melodyne Essential isn't as powerful as Melodyne Editor, it's still a very useful tool. Since you have it S1, no reason not to explore what it can do for you.

You're welcome. Melodyne is one of those products that gets better and better the deeper you dig into it.

Hi I just forgot to mention that the closeup view of this video is really appreciated. I use Melodyne for pitch correction and harmony but i do not know the basic rules to create a harmony.I depend on my ear for that. Can you please make a nice video on that?
