The easy way to begin. With Melodyne 5 essential, you edit your vocals using the basic functions for pitch and timing. Musical, quick and easy. And if you need more, you can always upgrade, paying only the difference.

Melodyne recognises the individual notes in a recording and understands their musical context. Pitch, timing, vibrato, formants, dynamics and note transitions are edited directly on the note – musically, intuitively and without losing the natural character of the recording. Melodyne never alters anything on its own: you stay in control of every facet of every note.

Melodyne runs as a stand-alone application or as a plug-in (VST3, AU, AAX) and integrates particularly closely with compatible DAWs such as Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, Studio One or Fender Studio Pro via ARA Audio Random Access. All editions are compatible with each other; upgrading to a larger edition costs only the difference.
