wow. this is going to ruin music further.

i bought version 2.6, studio edition (got it through eric @ http://www.jrrshop.com - best shop EVER) and the upgrade to 3.0 will be free for me since i registered after september 30th...

when i first got it, i was fairly impressed. it could do so much, but it was kinda \"clunky\" to operate. in other words, it wasn't very intuitive at times.

3.0 is now in a public beta.
it is absolutely amazing. what it can do shouldn't be uttered in public. it can correct such bad material that you will not believe it. you will think you are dreaming.

i must go change my short pants now. they are soiled.

After you wash your shorts...

Can you tell me what some of the big differences are?

Is it mostly the pitch detection/shifting algs?

I am trying to decide between UNO and CRE8. I am not sure I need the extra features in CRE8, and I am not sure, but I think UNO already has the new algorithms, but I do not know.

I only wish that VVocal which came with the new Sonar was as good. I think Vvocal is better than autotune, but really nothing touches Melodyne IMHO.

uno has a very, very simple interface. load the audio, tell it to correct (even how close to perfect to make it) and then edit to your heart's content. in the older release of studio and cre8, you would have to manually \"train\" the program how to analyze/correct the audio. if something went wrong, you would have to basically start all over. if there was something fairly complex for the program to analyze and correct ( for instance, if a piece of audio glitches when corrected) you would have a good amount of time invested for even just one song.

the new version 3 software now uses the same basic interface as uno. i took some audio of a fairly bad singer (a young girl whose parents think that she is the next britney spears) and completely corrected it in about 1/6th the time it would have taken me in an older version. it still sounded \"off\" as far as style, etc, but every note is on and it does in fact sound fairly good. i also used it to alter a good singer's voice in a few parts, changing the melody. it took me roughly 7 minutes or less to acheive what i had envisioned throughout the verse. including the time to setup and tranfer the audio via the new vst bridge. AMAZING...again.

there are some issues i have regarding the new release and it's placement of controls, but i will need to spend some more time with it before i make any noise about it.

i highly recommend investing in this application. especially in this current culture of \"quick satisfaction.\"

also, i will be experimenting with the ability to convert audio into midi and editing drums. i am excited to see what happens. i'll report back as soon as i can. of course, any comments or questions are appreciated.

I've had Uno for a few months now and have been using it to correct vocals on a few albums (inc. my own!)

I'm a fairly tight singer, pitch wise so I didn't need to correct any syllable more than 25 cents (1/4 of a semitone) When used like this Uno is F*cking incredible it is totally transparent pitch correction - blows Autotune away (I hate automatic anything anyay) the finished results are totally stunning as Daved has said.

However - the trick with Uno is not to correct everything - just correct pitches that absolutley NEED it, leave some movement in there - otherwise the vocal becomes too perfect, I know that's obvious BUT Uno does tempt you into correcting everthing, as it is SO transparent.

I have it on good word that Gabriel and Sting use this tool to sort out their studio vocals so it's that good!!

I think that Uno technology has now been ported into the full version of Melodyne 3 but if your on a budget Uno does all you need for vocals and at $200 it's a total bargain. The first time you try it - you will just hang your jaw in total disbelief. I know I did.

Be sure whatever you get will support the sample rates and bit depths you intend to use, and the overall usage you have intended.

Check out : http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=m3_comparison

I got the studio version of Melodyne 2.6 because of the differences then, and will likely upgrade to 3.0 studio version.

It seems the studio version will also do polyphonic material. Has anyone tested this part?

Thanks for the heads up. I've no time for testing.
