Melodyne DNA - first look with video

PhonoquO · 21st September 2009

YouTube - Melodyne DNA Beta - first look from Point Blank Online

maybe not quite as powerful as it was hyped to be, but still mindblowing!

Holy crap!

**TonyBelmont** · 22nd September 2009

I've been using the beta all night on various files... I'm impressed with the results. The hip hop guys will be sad to hear that it can't really manipulate an entire song for re-sampling, etc... especially when there are drums going, etc. But, I think everyone else will be super impressed with the power of this new software. I'm loving it.

Wow, I'm really impressed! I'm wondering if (say in a typical pop mix) DNA can still extract a complete "picture" of what's going on, if there's a promenant drum part? Will the sharp transients of these parts "blind" DNA to other (note) attacks (keys, guitars, vox) that happen at the same time?

Midiscore · 22nd September 2009

here is my first melodyne DNA experiment

IVORY piano
Atmosphere (hollywood strings preset)
Custom sound design
1 bar of a polyphonic string movement
1 bar of monophonic Cello lick

Audio sample posted in another topic

nice sample. I am kinda stuck though. I downloaded the beta and they sent the ilok asset to an ilok that I no longer own. Bites

No response from celemony. Wish I could try it.

I am wondering what the practical applications for this is?
For what I do it looks useless.

kamilsaj · 23rd September 2009

it's great for messing with amplitude, time and pitch of single notes in chords, works like a charm with acoustic and clean electric guitars!

alpha80 · 23rd September 2009

been having this idea since around 04.
Incredible to see it coming to fruition.

jonmoore · 23rd September 2009

Been playing with it's capabilities across complete mixes and I'm impressed. Not in terms of the audio it creates, but its ability to transcribe a recording and export the midi. Amazing tool for remix / re-edit artists. You have to work hard to get the best results and it's best to chop up your source material into chucks so you can extract key phrases. Incredibly stable for a beta too.

Can't wait to play with the plugin version when that gets realeased (apparently the end of September).

Great news, don't have time to download the Beta, but I'm curious. Does it work even with mixes with promenant drum parts?

Yes, but occasionally the snare/ kick will trigger note that you have to delete.

It's programme dependent. The DNA algorhytm is fundementally a sophistcated pitch detection engine so for something like electronic music where for instance the pitching of a 909 kick and snare is very pronounced it's relatively easy to work with (the main thing you need to be careful about is where two instruments share the same pitch, it will only show as a single note but due to way overtones work these are easy to identify). It's no press go and export to be sure but if your prepared to accept that DNA doesn't detect timbre and you work with the programmes idiosyncrasies you can get good results.

Wow....for remixers and techno / house guys this is gonna be a freaking blast.

Mind = blown.

I'll be honest, I thought the whole DNA thing was a sham, and I thought Celemony was gonna pay dearly for it. But that is pretty incredible. Bravo (although I think the PR team could've done a better job of handling the delay). It's cliche, but quite literally the possibilities are endless.
