Starting a users forum for Melodyne (Monday 18 September, 2023)

Update: turns out there was already a Melodyne Unofficial Support Group.

Melodyne from Celemony is perhaps best known as a vocal pitch correction program. However, it can do much more. Melodyne grants you access to all the musical details in your recordings and samples – note by note. This is made possible by a sophisticated analysis that delves deeply into your recordings and samples, and recognizes and understands the musical relationships within them: the individual notes and their characteristics, the scales, keys and chords, the timing, the tempo, the tone color. And with Melodyne you can edit all these things intuitively. With vocals, but every type of instrument as well – including polyphonic ones, such as the piano and guitar.

In Melodyne, notes are represented by blobs. By manipulating these with Melodyne’s powerful tools, you can edit (among other things) the pitch, vibrato, volume, sibilants, length, timing and formants of each note. In this way, you can enhance in a musical yet straightforward manner the intonation, phrasing, dynamics and timbre of a performance. While ingenious algorithms ensure your editing’s almost always inaudible, sensitive, natural.

Surprisingly, the is no user forum for Melodyne. On their website you will find the following ([here]):

“With the release of Melodyne 4, so many aspects of the program have changed that most info which could be found on our User Forum has become outdated and obsolete. Moreover, we feel that an online forum might be no longer in keeping with the times.”

Really?

That is why I created a users forum on Facebook: Melodyne Users Forum.  Hopefully this attracts many Melodyne users.
