Hello
If anyone here is familiar with this product I would appreciate some feedback/help with the loss of quality that is noticable when a pitch is altered. I use melodyne for pitch correction and cant help notice the obvious loss of sound quality whenever it is applied.

Wow, that's interesting - I've never tried it, but a mate of mine (who's a pretty cluey engineer type) reckons it ROCKS.

Ive only tried MelodyneUNO which seems really good for vocals and ok for drums but it really depends on the sample as some times you would be better off using a normal pitch shifter. I think in all its a very creative and can be very helpful program but I would still need another pitch shifting program as well as I like to shift the pitch of whole loops not just single instruments.

I use Rephrase which in my opinion has a better interface than melodyne. Works great with stuff that has pitch. My only wish is that it could handle drums equally well.

Check it out at:

I have and use Uno quite a bit.
I like it.
it's worth remembering that Uno doesn't only shift pitch.
It also can adjust the Formant, edit Vibrato and Pitch drift.
Perform time stretch on multiple or individual notes.
Split a note into 2 and change the pitch/formant/amplitude/ vibrato etc
It is a really good tool for editing any mono track.

As always with these kinds of tools it's a fine line between correction and overuse.
Take all the vibrato and pitch drift out of a vocal and you have instant "Cher Autotune Effect".

Used sparingly and judiciously it is a revelation.

I have the studio edition, which I use quite a lot, actually sometimes I do make whole tunes in it. Surely it lacks a lot of features that "traditional" sequencers have, but the only thing I really miss is track-automation.
Also, the melodymanager is a great feature, allowing you to view and edit all your samples from within melodyne.
It's a bit quirky when it comes to vst and au fx, but it does load the ones that are important to me. (lfx, reaktor, automat, kompakt, some free stuff)
Come to think of it, one other thing that HAS to be implemented is recording from a rewire slave, ATM you can setup melodyne as a rewire master, but it won't record the slave's inputs
