Melodyne 5 Assistant is a reference tool for correcting and shaping an audio performance without compromising the interpretation. It is especially suited for vocal editing (pop, rap, rock, spoken word), but also for editing recorded monophonic instruments (bass, sax, lead synth, etc.). Whether you seek transparent correction or a deliberate production effect, Melodyne allows you to align pitch and rhythm with surgical precision while preserving the musicality of the performance.
Thanks to an approach based on detected notes, you directly manipulate intonation, transitions, vibrato, and phrasing. The inspectors provide immediate access to essential settings to speed up decision-making in a mixing context.
Melodyne 5 Assistant includes several algorithms to adapt to audio content: Melodic (with sibilant detection), Percussive, and Universal. The macros allow quick optimization of intonation, timing quantization, and leveling of discrepancies, ideal for saving time during vocal editing.
The track and chord grid with automatic recognition facilitates harmonic work, while tempo detection helps to align a take with an existing project. As a plug-in or standalone, ARA (Audio Random Access) integration can offer a smoother workflow depending on your DAW.
