  • This is ridiculous

  • This is the most profound development musical software I have ever seen. Ever.

  • @TheLily0121: Melodyne can convert an audio file to MIDI, which is a representation of the notes in a "language" that a keyboard can speak. Import that MIDI file into a competent DAW, and it can turn the MIDI file into a score of notes.

  • I compose a music for a song but it is only a voice recording. Is there a software that can convert the vocal to music notes?

  • Indeed, I think I can play one non-chorded in guitar, and arrenge it to a complete tune

  • @kevindolin - Amen! It still makes me feel a little weird, though... I can only hope that anyone using this software really, REALLY loves and respects music.

  • "Let's change the notes live by playing it on our, 'MEATY' keyboard."

  • german :D

  • The Melodyne website is utterly useless. It fails to even say what the latest version of the product is, even at the checkout page. You click the 'Update' connection in Melodyne and there are no updates, just crap about buying it. It really makes you wonder what brain-dead deadbeats they employ in their marketing.

    In my experience Melodyne can occassionaly screw up the sound, and is prone to software errors. For this price it's very bad service.

    So what is the latest version anyway?

  • @CrankCase02 I don't understand your criticism. Currently it clearly says on the front page of their website that 1.3 is the latest version of Melodyne editor (the one with DNA built in). There is also an update check option in the preferences which works pretty well for me. Also, the Melodyne installer from your myCelemony account is always the latest version. And finally, Celemony has a forum and great e-mail support, so there are plenty ways to get the sort of information you are looking for.

  • @dafunkmastah77 I have melodyne 3.1 and it doesn't have DNA. Seems like vaporware to me.

  • MEATEH!??!?!?

  • @rubbernecker1983 Yes, Melodyne can do that. After you have recorded your voice, the program analyses your material and displays it as notes (or "blobs") on your screen. You can even export them to a MIDI file and import them into some notation software. This feature is called Audio-to-MIDI. Check the Celemony homepage for details.

  • What's the name of the song that starts @ 0:30???

  • this is so sick!

  • one big muisc box u can change so easy lol

  • Sweet Zombie Jesus.

  • Oh dear musicians are obsolete...

  • @Muzikman127 You know it still takes a musician to move the notes right? Someone with no ability to write music isn't going to get any results with this thing...

  • @KevinDolin Yes very good point I was joking really. Although having a tool that opens up so many possiblities with even a fairly poor source doesn't bode well for session musicians. Or indeed singers who actually have talent :p

  • @Muzikman127 not really, someone still needs to have the ability to play the instrument

  • This was made after vocaloid. and vocaloid could do some of the same stuff...

  • price?

    

  • "...you can tune your guitar after recording"

    This is insane!

  • meaty tracks...

  • holy wow batman. this is seriously cool

  • very smart !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD

  • What the hell is "mee-dee"??

  • This stuff is wizardry. I saw it work last weekend in the studio.

  • this makes u think: wat will we be able to do in music 10, 20 yrs from now??

  • You can use this as a VST plugin within Ableton and most DAW programs...and yes, the pros use this more than we all know.

  • These kind of things are what's ruining music nowadays.

  • Fuck. Wow.

  • @Soultroopr How can you do this in Ableton?

  • Its really smart, but dont fool yourself with the "no sound difference/quality" comment. its simply not true, the notes will get an distorted/warped/chorus-like sound when you move the notes around more drastically, and you would'nt want to use this in song only containing guitar and vocal for instance. But in a mix, this will of course be very hard to distinguish.

  • wow. i would've never thought that this was possible

  • What a story mark

  • Is this the sort of thing common rock bands like Green Day use?

    

  • I'm afraid to sing... anybody has the same problem.... :S ??

  • does this mean like--if you were to record a bunch of instruments at once--so they would all be on one track--You could upload that into Melodyne and it would be able to differenciate between each instrument?

  • Why don't you just play the right notes yourself instead of cheating?

  • It's getting easier and easier to create music...there's no skill involved in it anymore. LITERALLY anyone can now create beautiful music that used to take years of training, dedication, and actual passion.

    As a child, I wanted to make a living as a musician. Now, forget it. What's the point in even going through years of training and putting passion into my music when any idiot with melodyne can match me note for note.

  • @Illjustwait You actually think that? You honestly think that? It's a fucking pitch shifter, nothing else! You still have to do EVERYTHING by yourself! You need to know theory & you have to play the piece regardless of what key you change it to! & if you have ever used it you'd know there's a limit to how much it can be shifted until it sounds completely retarded! This video is a way for celemony to advertise it, don't believe everything you hear from the company!

  • @Rattlehead15 Nothing but a pitch shifter? This guy is a genius. Nobody knows how he manages to seperate out the notes played on a recording. Current theory says it is impossible but he has doen it somehow. You obviously know little about physics.

  • @sqgl Yes, and well done to him for that. But what do you do with the notes when they're separate? You pitch shift them! CASE CLOSED! It was never beyond theory, & like I said, there is only a limit to how much you can do until it gets all techno on you! I would never trust it on a real instrument, only unless I need to alter it by a few semitones because afterwards it destroys the overall tone!

  • @chordanae He pitch shifts them for the prupose of the demo but the rest is up to you. You can add FX to individual notes, or clone them. But this would only be interesting to people into electronica/avante-garde. It also allows for innovative mashups. Using computers to make traditional music is boring I agree - there is no advantage for the audience, simply a cost-cutting exercise for the producer.

  • @Illjustwait Kind of true statement although I wouldn't agree to a 100%.. more power to the producer though which is good in my book. I've played guitar for 20 years, and nothing beats playing a real instrument still.

  • Lol eccentric looking German inventor FTW.

  • 3 things i wanna say:

    1. may there be a bird in the mans beard?

    2.this program is awesome

    3.come on, the guy is german, i'm german too, so why did you guys make this video english?

  • lol dudes german \m/

  • MY MIND IS FULL OF FUCK!

  • Jesus, soon they'll have no need for musicians. Oh wait that's what already happend with arsitists today. They're business men and they're in it for the money.

  • @V0r4xX- Thats what they said about rock and roll 30 years ago you narrow minded dolt. lol Step into the future of professional editing its nothing to do with Judging music like you are so desperate to make it about. Its about creative flexibility and saving time and money in the studio. Stop shitting on things you don't have the need for or understand its many uses.

  • fuck this ain't real music! and you fuckers don't know real music!

  • @V0r4xX Better then redoing it again to sound like that..Saves a lot of money and time..

  • @Janosevic80 "money and time" is the keyword for producing shit, not music. real musicians have passion and patience and they give a fuck 'bout money.

  • No, you're right, it's not MEEDEE... It's MIDI you moomin!

  • i don't believe what my eyes see..

  • if it can divide notes, can it be used to get rid of vocals???

  • hugs from germany

  • Wow,I have got to get this...

    Amazing Program!!!

  • UN-Freaking Real!

  • haha, 5:50 hotel california? xD

    "This is music revolution" [2]

  • @Gyphia exactly

  • woooooooooooooooooooooooooow

  • the coolest part was the scale changing! That can be useful for studying!! This is revolution... Changin real music like midi.. And it would be an accurate MIDI2MP3...

  • So easy, a caveman can do it.

  • Awesome shit. Can somebody remind me the name of software which "disassemlies" music on intruments/voice etc.?

  • I'm more interested in how this could be used as a sound design tool rather than music production. With some creativity, I bet some really cool results could be achieved!

  • охеренная тема

  • @Gyphia Doesn't sound like it will turn it into proper chords automatically. You'll probably have to move the notes around yourself to proper note. Easy enough! Any numbnut who can hold a guitar can now sound like they know what the hell they're playing! ;)

  • HOLY

    FUCKING

    SHIT

  • Comment removed

  • THIS IS NOT MEEDEE!!! lol.

    (my favorite quote is "does that keyboard have M-ONE-D-ONE?")

  • watch?v=-8TN24b4i6k

  • i wonder how close they are from completely removing the vocals from a stereo track?

  • whats the name of the track in the beginning?

  • @spidy455 Nina Deli -flow

  • what makes me uneasy is the lack of distortion guitar in this demonstration.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • This is truly groundbreaking! Its got to have a few bugs though, cause this shouldn't be possible. I mean, in a wave file, several instruments would be "trapped" inside a set of frequencies right? How the hell can that be split up and still managing to keep the right instrument? And without screwing up other instruments in that same frequency range?

  • damn, is this a great programm or is this a great programm??

    and it was invented by a german ;-)

  • how do you open the midi keyboard in the program?

  • Meaty?

  • @pianomancuber91 I don't know about you but I want my guitar tracks to be "meaty" LMAO

  • meedee lol

  • So,, Since you can see the pitch, you can make sheet music out of an MP3-file?

  • This programme is sick :O

  • I would use it to improve my vocals,not to use it in my music,i mean .. if i compose a song and my voice is out tuned,i use it so i know wich notes would be the right ones for the song,and then practice to make it as in the software :P

  • why u dont say the disadvantages u cant import mp3 file only wav and u cant changes perfectly notes after u finish the project in other program or the mastering of the voice in other program u cant change exactly the notes and u cant see exactly the notes, that only works for wav files and just recorded files or acapelas then if u try to correct some unajusted note of some vocal it sounds robotic if u dont do that that correct nothing only a little the notes and about chorus sounds robotic

  • Okay, they say the sound quality after doing this is fine. We all know an mp3 is going to work absolutely horribly, but I'm not even confident about CD quality source.

    In practice, how well does this technology TRULY hold up?

  • live music is REAL magic

  • man this is so awsome!!!

  • This is pretty much like reverse engineering of MIDI...But AUDIO...fucking blowing my mind rite now.

  • this program makes the human voice another instrument, you only need to keep the tempo correct.

    Singers won't be popular in the future, producers will.

  • compromised quality though :o(

  • Ok I'm convinced that the ability to perform music will become ACTUALLY become irrelevant to the music recording process in the next few years.

    People have claimed its already happened, but you obviously have to have some level of music performance ability to make a great recording... but I guess thats changing.

    Not that is necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully we can make light of it. I suppose we could say that this is the songwriter's generation, unlike the last generation, the performers gen.

  • @TesseractDigital We are already there...which is good because music should have never been about who can afford it, or the music lessons...but should always be about the concept that ANYONE ANYWHERE can always make music...The music industry doesn't want ppl to believe this in a way, cause it makes the money slip thru their fingers.

  • germany in the avant garde in music again, cool.

  • I can see it as a great tool for corrections. However, I do not see this software as an instrument in itself, as one could end up with something a natural instrument (such as a guitar) couldn't possibly do. Once I hear that crap - I reject it. Engineers really should keep to the software and leave the instruments alone. (lol)

  • @rwmcjazz maybe open up your mind to new sounds a bit?

  • @heeerro - I have nothing against new sounds, and my mind is open. My music degree ensures I remain open to new things. I'm concerned with the departure of traditional music composition and natural limitations of acoustic instruments. In it's place, I see something akin to bottled water, fau wood, or GM foods. Nothing it seems, anymore; is sacred.

  • @rwmcjazz a degree doesn't ensure anything. i bet quite a lot of your favourite records are recorded on 24+ channels and the takes aren't done simultaneously but are tracked one instrument at a time... how is that not "cheating" as well? when do you as a musician get multiple chances of getting a part right over the course of a week when playing live? that dwarfs any qualms one might have about this tool.

    i bet you think that music performed by computers isn't real music as well.

  • Could you strip a song this way of drums, or vocals for example, and make instrumentals, acapella's etcetera?

  • Comment removed

  • idk if this guy is genious or a dumbass.

    why dont you just rerecord the guitar....imean seriously lol idk.

  • @Draytonvalley well for people like me who can't play guitar this is simply amazing. I can make much more use of guitar samples( or any sample for that matter). This opens so many more possibilities for people who produce music on their own.

  • @Draytonvalley you are def not a genuis, not hard to make that call lol

  • The guy who invented this is a genius, there's nothing more to it.

  • 24 dislike go to hell

  • This is music revolution

  • what a genius

  • This program is groundbreaking, you can literally take apart a song piece by piece.

  • @mannyac82 not like this, it dont always makes it perfect, but still amazing. And compressed audio is hard to separate with dna.

  • Can you use this in conjunction with a porta studio? I have a Tascam 2488 mkII.

  • this has got to be the greatest new invention since the mpc!

  • You are now in possession of the Aperture Science Handheld audio Device

  • So... why not just change the guitar chord?

  • For everyone that wants the song used in the first part...

    Nina Deli - Flow

    watch?v=rJAIis_BaEc

  • WOw, I've been waiting for something that could analyze chords and separate them out. You could do anything with this program.

  • SCIENCE

    making talent less and less necessary

  • @xXcoolcubeXx terribly true

  • @xXcoolcubeXx more like making production means easier to access to everyone in the long run.

    who cares anyway... all the great instrumentalists these days do a billion takes of every part anyways. and if you got access to each channel then you don't need melodyne. just time nudge, pitch shift and edit out parts like has been possible for 25 years or more.

  • This has to be the BEST PROGRAM EVER INVENTED when you think of how when you play a instrument,it can be moved

  • meaty

  • i can do the quantize a lil bit and the pitch correction a lil... but when i learn that dna son...wooooooooo!!!!

  • hahahah he did say mee-dee

  • melodyne is freaking awesome!!

  • WOW! Yo how much and when does it come out?

  • Which of the Melodyne products have the Direct Note Access? Is it just the Melodyne Editor or does the Melodyne Studio Bundle have it as well? Please message me and let me know if you know. Thank you :)

  • @666CarcassGrinder999: The Melodyne studio bundle includes Melodyne editor. And yes, editor is currently the only product with DNA.

  • this is most interesting-amazing program i ever seen.

  • What's meedee?

  • MIDI is a kind of "sound file" that contains only the notes of musical instruments. Midi players then "play" the notes on virtual instruments.

    If you´re using windows then go ahead and open C:\windows\media\onestop.mid in windows media player =)

  • I'm almost a Music graduate, I know what MIDI is :P Just thought the guy in the video pronounced it very strangely!

  • i´m one of the few people that cant smell what other people know , sorry :P

  • MIDI or Musical Instrument Digital Interface doesn't have a sound. It's not a sound file. MIDI emulates an instrument depending what chords your press. MIDI doesn't and never will transmit audio signals, what it is, it's an event. An electronic protocol.

  • Hahaha, makes me want to make a tune from just ONE original chord...

  • Comment removed

  • the only thing I can say is HOLY SHIT!!!

  • no it's like: HOLY SYNTH hahaha

  • LOL

  • How the hell is this even possible?! :S

  • To be honest, this is a wonderful technology to have, but I really hope that musicians don't put a program like this above their actual playing.

  • @bodom658 a-fuckin-men dude. what are we gonna do with these fucks. they keep altering the playing field with fake shit. real talent will have no room to shine with the mass audience unaware of this synthetic reality, everyone will have no other choice but to keep up with technology. soon all skill will be synthesized, and nobody will even be able to respect actual musicianship anymore. the end is near.

  • I'm sorry to tell you that, but EVERY professional musician is using this sort of program....it's sad but this is the truth....so...once again...I'm really sorry for destroying the perfect world you live in....

  • I can understand saying the first half, which I don't believe is true, but the last bit is just rude.

  • being skillful at an instrument =/= musicianship

  • @peroslowned yes, if only more people would realize this!

  • I see your point :) but still, you need talent to recognize the mistakes and come up with new ideas. music wont compose itself without work :) I can only say, this german technology is nothing but AWESOME. Cheers.

  • @flyagaricleech you can't do this live.

  • i don't agree...like I've already said the sad truth is that these sort of programs are used in every professional music productions of the last year...EVERY!and that's not everything....in live-performances there is hardware used for pitch-correction of the vocalists.....BUT i still think that with the time the humans are going to miss the "peerfect-sound" of a "not-perfect" recording....they will miss (and they already do if you look at the pop-songs)the "inperfect humanity"...thats my opinion

  • Live shows will always be the best judges.

  • @bodom658 FOK DAT!! ROBOTS FTW!!!!

  • @bodom658 exactly

  • when does this come out??

    With the DNA access version?

  • It's out already. Check the Celemony website and look for "Melodyne editor".

  • High technology. Made in Germany.

  • I'm very impressed! Oh my...

  • holy crap thats amazing

    and i thought autotune was amazing

  • lol meedee.

  • I have just seen a review of this in Sound on Sound magazine.Absolutely fantastic program.Its the first wow! program I have seen in a long time.

  • To record, u have to press space. but have do you stop the recording? :P

  • My fingers are the only direct note access tools I use.

  • Mind-numbing tool. My brain hurts. It's not your fault.

  • Its amazing for vocals exceptionally,

    and good for mistakes or toying around with ideas or writing music.

  • this is so damn awesome! nice job :)

  • That is really amazing... Cudos to the creator of the program!! :)

  • that is cool :)

  • Comment removed

  • Yep, same here. I couldn't even get this shit to recognize polyphonic audio at all...
