There’s no other way to say this: Celemony’s Melodyne line of products is just better than any other offering out there. But our ears are sensitive instruments – even the untrained ear can transform the spectral soup of sound energies into polyphony, can recognize subtle timbres, and can immediately detect if something has been manipulated. Since audio first appeared alongside MIDI in digital editing, musicians have wanted to have the same fluidity of editing that other digital materials have. The rich Celemony integration could be an even more significant accomplishment. This includes advantages in certain audio tasks and in maximizing the computational performance of the latest hardware. Cakewalk was the first, for instance, to embrace 64-bit audio processing and computation, and continues to (fairly) boast of its 64-bit “double precision” (that’s the same thing) mix engine. But it’s worth noting that some things the software has accomplished have led the way for other tools. There are a number of improvements, but what may be the most significant is a deep integration of Celemony’s toolset for manipulating pitch and time.ĭAW tastes will be forever personal, so you can be forgiven if you simply don’t like or have never used SONAR.
