Pitch correction is mostly used to smooth out the kinks in the vocal take, and make it sound more in key. However, it can be used creatively for sound design, and is also heavily used in genres like Rap, Hip Hop, and dance music for hard-tuned effects. When Should I Be Using Vocal Pitch Correction and What For?Īutotune is mostly used for subtle pitch correction on vocals to preserve the performance of vocalists. At best they are good for getting hard-tuned rap vocal effects. However, they aren't the same calibre and don't allow individual note editing or sibilance detection. There are many free open source autotune plugins available as alternatives to Melodyne.

The generation of MIDI notes from audio material offers a wealth of different creative possibilities.Melodyne doesn't have a free version. You can use this technique, for example, to derive from a drum loop a quantization reference for other MIDI tracks in your DAW.
That is equally true whichever algorithm is used, with a few algorithm-specific exceptions: In the case of vocals, breaths are not exported as MIDI notes and if you save rhythmic material or material edited with the Universal algorithm as MIDI, all the MIDI notes will share the same pitch but take their position, length and amplitude from their audio equivalents in the rhythm track. The velocity of each MIDI note is derived from the amplitude of the audio note it represents. For each audio note, a MIDI note is created with the same position, length and pitch. The MIDI notes are an exact representation of the audio notes in Melodyne.
Melodyne allows you to export audio notes as MIDI notes, in order, for example, to double your vocals with a sound from a software synthesizer.
