If you want to perform vocal editing at the highest level, refining and enhancing every aspect of musical expression, however subtle, Melodyne assistant has the very features you need.

In addition to Melodyne’s basic functions and all the possibilities of the smallest edition, essential, Melodyne assistant offers:

The Entire Melodyne Toolkit
With the full diversity of Melodyne’s tools at your disposal, you can apply the finest of touches to any and every note parameter: intonation, vibrato, pitch drift, timing, duration, amplitude, fades, sibilants, formants, transients – even the timing within notes as well as the transition between them – and much else besides. You can take a vocal track as close to perfection as you choose to.

Inspectors
In the inspectors, all the parameters are clearly laid out, and you can adjust them – without changing tools - to the precise values you want.

Audio-to-MIDI
Export the MIDI equivalent of your audio, so you can double your vocal lines with a synthesizer or your acoustic bass with an electronic sound. Audio-to-MIDI gives you the means to conduct exciting experiments and create radically new sounds.

In a Nutshell
Melodyne assistant provides all you need for the professional editing of vocals. That’s where its main power is focused, but it can be used equally well, of course, to edit recordings of any monophonic sound source (trumpet, clarinet, etc.).

Melodyne comes in four different editions, the smallest being Melodyne essential and the largest Melodyne studio. All of them use the same algorithms and tone generation technology; they differ only in the range of functions offered. All editions share the following features:

Note-Based, Musical Operation
Melodyne identifies the individual notes within an audio file and understands the place of each within the overall musical context. Thanks to its intuitive operation, it affords you easy access to every detail of every note, giving you an incomparable degree of control over the performance.

Fine-Tuning Note Assignments
Although as a rule the musical analysis of your recordings and samples is highly accurate, instances may occur where the material is ambiguous and Melodyne hasn’t quite interpreted it as you would wish. Fortunately, this is easily remedied: You can edit and fine-tune Melodyne’s interpretation to your heart’s content, until it tallies exactly with your own.

Algorithms for Melodic, Percussive and Complex Audio Material
Edit vocals, instruments, drums, drones - Versatility is one of Melodyne’s greatest strengths.

Intelligent Macros for Pitch, Timing and Volume
Intelligent macros make remedying defects and enhancing recordings a simple, fast and intuitive task, reducing to a bare minimum the number of clicks required.

Chord Functions
The Chord Grid and Chord Track let you work with exceptional speed and efficiency. If you want, Melodyne will even identify the chords for you.

You’re ALWAYS Given a Choice
Melodyne never alters your material automatically. You’re the one in control at all times. With the power to shape every facet of every note in an intuitive and musical fashion.

macOS and Windows
You can run every edition either as a stand-alone application or as a plug-in (VST3, AU, AAX). DAW integration using ARA Audio Random Access is especially user-friendly.

All Editions are Compatible with One Another
A project begun in Melodyne essential can be opened later in Melodyne studio and edited using the larger function set of the more powerful edition. By the same token, a project edited using Melodyne studio can be opened and played back in Melodyne essential with all the earlier edits faithfully reproduced. However, if you wish to do any further editing there, it will be using the more limited function set of Melodyne essential.
