Melodyne Alternative 2018

• Celemony Melodyne 4
• Melodyne Alternative 2018 Crack

Believe it or not, one of the best sounding pitch correction plugins (next to Melodyne,) is Reaper's Reatune. While one can get a better overall experience in Melodyne, the amount of work is substantially lessened in Reatune. I would say Reaper's plugin gets you 80% of the way that a thorough Melodyne edit will, in 10% of the time. Melodyne will appeal to many users for its creative pitch manipulation and, to my ears at least, its capabilities in this regard are in a league of their own. The various changes to the user interface and the menu structures also make these tasks easier than in earlier versions. The ability to simply drag individual notes to the required pitch, adjust the pitch transitions between.

Whether you're a home producer or work at a major recording studio, Autotune and other pitch correction software can help deal with a weak vocal performance.

In a hurry? I love Melodyne 4 Studio from Celemony. It's sounds incredible, leaving little to no artifacts on vocals recorded in a treated space, but are in need of a little fixing.

But Autotune isn't reserved exclusively for pitch correction. T-Pain popularized the hard-straightened pitch, even going as far as releasing an iOS app called 'I Am T-Pain.'

Pitch correction software can also be utilized for other instruments as well. I've even used VariAudio (the 'Autotune' built into Cubase) on bass guitar parts that were slightly out of tune. The result was surprisingly excellent, with little to no audio artifacts.

There's a lot you can do with Autotune and similar software.

Hexadecimal address calculator. With so many options for producers, how can you decide on which one to use? Fortunately, I've had the experience working with many pitch correction plugins to weed out the good from the bad.

I'm going to include both free and paid options, so please read on!

Table of Contents

1) Antares Auto-Tune Pro (Paid)

Auto-Tune is the original pitch correction software. It's so popular that its name is synonymous and is more of a colloquial term.

Antares gives you a couple of options to pick from depending on your needs — Pro, Artist, Access, or EFX+. As you'd guess, the price moves up the more features there are.

Auto-Tune is very hands-off. I'd even go as far as to say that it's the most straightforward plugin for correcting pitch.

Pros

• Easy to use for beginners
• Lightweight on memory
• Great-looking user interface

Cons

• AUTO mode is limited
• Difficult for beginners to use GRAPH
• A little outdated compared

When using Auto-Tune on a vocal track in AUTO mode, set the key, the retune speed, and the amount of humanization. You should be able to hit the playback button now and hear hopefully great results.

Because it's simplicity, I find that it doesn't perform as well as others (when using the quick settings) that require more fine-tune vocal editing.

To fix an abysmal vocal performance, use the graph mode and hand tune each note to your liking. This process is much more complicated but yields a far better result.

I am not huge on Auto-Tune (I know many are), but it can deliver exceptional results. If you take the time to learn how to use it properly, you'll have great-sounding vocals with ease.

Auto-Tune from Antares is available at Plugin Boutique.

2) Steinberg VariAudio — Cubase Pro (Paid)

Steinberg's VariAudio is a pitch correction software included in Cubase Pro. It's not a standalone plugin, so you won't be able to use it if you don't own Cubase Pro.

But, for those of you with Cubase who didn't realize your DAW has pitch correction, rejoice!

I love VariAudio — so much so that I couldn't imagine switching DAWs. I've been on Cubase for ten years, so I know my way around, but VariAudio is the one thing that will keep me as a forever customer. Irish luck slot.

Pros

• Integrated into Cubase
• Quick to edit any clip
• Very fast and no CPU

Cons

• Audio artifacts are very noticeable if not careful
• Limited cutting resolution
• Not intuitive at first

VariAudio functions similar to Melodyne and Auto-Tune's graph mode. Double-clicking on a clip opens up the editor, where you can choose to enable VariAudio — no plugin required.

From here, it's simple as using Pitch Quantize and Straighten Pitch on each clip. Cutting clips also helps pitch only individual sections of a waveform.

The newest version of VariAudio introduced some incredible options for adjusting pitch that make the software even more valuable.

I highly recommend considering Cubase Pro if you plan to switch DAWs — for VariAudio exclusively!

3) Celemony Melodyne (Paid)

We're moving up the price ladder, but for a good reason. Melodyne from Celemony is one of the most utilized pitch correction plugins used by professional vocal editors and producers.

Melodyne offers (to my ears) the most accurate and musical sounding algorithm, leaving no tuning artifacts that are easily recognizable to the untrained ear.

Pros

• Incredible-sounding algorithm
• Tons of flexibility when vocals sound poor
• Zero audio artifacts in most cases

Cons

• Difficult for new users
• Rather expensive

The software has incredible note detection allowing for more accurate tuning. I find that in VariAudio, there are times that the software cannot understand individual notes, so they are omitted. It's not too often this occurs, but Melodyne does it better.

Melodyne is available at Plugin Boutique.

4) Waves Tune (Paid)

Waves Tune operates similarly to Auto-Tune and Melodyne. Before you begin tuning, the software scans the audio track and displays audio waveforms. Jw library app for nook.

The process of editing is quite similar as well, though the interface is slightly dated.

Pros

• Included in many of Wave's plugin bundles
• Relatively lightweight on CPU

Cons

• Outdated
• Difficult to use

I have never enjoyed using Waves Tune but figured it needed a mention since Waves is one of the most popular audio plugin companies.

5) Waves Tune Real-Time (Paid)

While cheaper than the regular version of Tune, Tune Real-Time offers a quick and user-friendly experience for tuning vocals. I'd compare this plugin to using Auto-Tune on AUTO mode.

Note transition is iffy at best and artifacts are present throughout (at least when I used it). The plugin isn't smooth sounding at all, and there aren't many parameter changes available.

I'd recommend Real-Time for two different scenarios. The first being someone new to audio production looking to fix a vocal without technical knowledge of tuning vocals. You won't get the most professional sound, but it will be acceptable.

Using a pitch-correction software can boost the confidence of the singer in the booth, though I can't say for sure if this will lead to a better sounding vocal take.

Despite the marketing of Waves Tune Real-Time, claiming instant vocal tuning, I could envision latency becoming an issue in some home studio settings.

If you're on the fence about which one to get or want to save a little cash, try some of these free pitch correction plugins I've listed below.

Things To Consider When Choosing a Pitch Correction Software Plugin

Despite all the choices I've laid out, you still may be confused on the correct option. Here are some things to consider before making a decision.

Does the software maker provide a trial?

If so, take the trial and check out the software! There's nothing more frustrating than buying a plugin only to find out that it's non-refundable.

Do you need graph editing functionality?

Graph editing, like seen in Melodyne and VariAudio, is for advanced vocal editors. If you need a quick tuning for a little enhancement of a track, you may not need to edit each note.

If you want to draw in the notes physically, a more advanced pitch correction software will be necessary.

Further features you may desire are formant control, MIDI input (for vocoder), and note straightness. These types of effects are often essential in a lot of today's popular music.

Does your DAW already have pitch processing? Modern warfare beta down.

Mine does — that's why I've included VariAudio in this list. Gnu image viewer. Digital audio workstations like Propellerhead's Reason and MOTU Digital Performer also come with their native pitch correction software.

Wrapping Up

Which one do I like most? If I didn't have VariAudio included in Cubase, I'd most likely be using Melodyne exclusively. It sounds incredible, and the workflow is so intuitive.

So there you have it — my list of the best Auto-Tune/pitch correction VST plugins. Which one do you currently use in the studio? I'd love to hear from you down below in the comments. Thanks for reading!
