[...] access to notes in polyphonic audio had failed to come to fruition turn out to be false. (I was skeptical about those rumors in April.) Melodyne DNA did take longer than expected to ship, but then, that isn’t exactly news in [...]

Where was the June beta? It’s vaporware, end of story! Q: What is the best way to stop your competitors doing R&D on the holy grail of digital audio? A: Say you’ve already done it, and produce a bogus video to get everyone excited.

I’m glad someone caused this stir! Otherwise, Melodyne would have probably kept mum about their much-awaited product. :) Looking forward to the beta version…

Not, of course, that shipping late and shipping with a host of bugs and several MIA features are at all mutually exclusive… ;)

Although I am really excited for this technology because it’s awesome, I wasn’t expecting to buy Melodyne products because I don’t want to make music that sounds like Cher or Kyane West.

But that GLaDOS tutorial is really cool! I was wondering how they did those vocal effects when I played Portal. This vid sounds very close to the actual game. I wonder if Valve used Melodyne?

Hmm, maybe I will need to play with Melodyne after all. DNA will be a nice tool for reworking all those gigs of unused loops, and turning them into a unique creation of my own that I would actually use in a song.

@Rutger:
Yes, as covered here previously:

And at EUR25, looks well worth a look. It just doesn’t appear to have the level of sophistication Celemony does, though that’s not a big surprise. I do like competition – and maybe you’ll get some different results out of the improvisator thing.
