Melodyne is a pitch and timing correction software that’s so powerful it’s actually kind of scary. The precision and transparency with which Melodyne can analyze and transform notes makes it possible to completely alter the sound of a performance. Used incorrectly it can make performances sound ‘inhumanly’ perfect or devoid of personality. As an NYC recording studio specializing in vocal production, it’s a tool that we frequently use to sweeten and polish vocals, but we also know when to leave things alone and lay bare the nuances and imperfections of a performance.
The most important thing to us is to capture the best performance from the artist; the authentic emotion and passion behind every breath and lyric. And in cases where we use Melodyne, we do so in a way that will elevate those characteristics and let them shine through.
