I never thought they'd be able to do this.

"They found a way to separate the harmonics of each note in a chord, allowing individual notes to be manipulated at will."

For all you hobby music creators out there, your day has arrived.

That's pretty awesome... especially for prototyping songs perfectly before ever having to actually play them /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Hollowmind]

Wow. I wanna' play with that.

[Tulkamir]

Wow, that's neat. Makes me wish I had some sort of musical talent. But I don't. So I showed it to some audio guys at work. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Kevin Albers]

Great stuff!
Too expensive though (700 bucks) /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Emil Mujanovic]

That is seriously sweet! Really blown away.
Playing that one sample chord rigged to a midi input... HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

I was going to say that's scary shit because now you can edit things so easily on a computer that it will kill conventional music methods.

Then I remembered we edit art using "easier tools" down to the pixel on giant digital canvases using a pressure sensitive pad attached to a giant LCD monitor. Traditional art is still alive and kickin somehow /images/graemlins/smile.gif

good news for the CIA

excellent! makes writing songs and editing their recording a bit easier, doesnt make being in a real band any less valuable, it just makes getting what I want easier. Hopefully this sort of thing goes into all sorts of mainstream music editing tools and doesnt stay so niche.

Ged: It's not niche, it's a plugin you can use in any host. nevertheless, unless a company comes up with their own version of it (not soon, I bet) or Melodyne licences out their technology like Zplane does with élastique , you'll still need to buy that plugin.

edit: And melodyne was already BIG, I should say. Their existing technology was already a revelation to many, making it so you could edit audio like midi. It's used by a shitload of studios, and is now probably used instead of Antares Autotune by most of them

Did you see the clip with GlaDOS? Pretty cool stuff. I have to manipulate audio in Adobe Audition, which I thought was pretty amazing, but this is speshul.
