Just saw this today - sorry if everybody else has known for years!
THAT is (seems to be) a must have IMHO, if you make copies of well known songs. I don't suspect anybody tried it?

That seems like a cool bit o' technology in the right hands.
But...who pronounces MIDI as "meedy"? That got on my nerves.

Is it only me who kinda liked the off note on the electric piano part?
I was kinda scratching my neck over most of the moved notes. There is a risk that one will never surface again once one gets going with that program!
Definitely a danger of taking a simple, pretty guitar part and making it so busy with moving notes you remove everything that was pretty about it. But it does seem like it could have its uses in talented, restrained hands. It'd also be fun to play with, for sure.

Is this still vapor-ware or has it come out now? I recall seeing this video demo about 2 years ago and hoping it would be released soon. I've tried some other Melodyne software, and while it's very good, in the end it's still easier to go back and rerecord the parts properly. Plus it sounds better too.
this stuff is made for techno guys and that ilk, not rock bands. unless of course it's a rock band that wants to deconstruct it's stuff. sometimes it's fun to make weird noises.

It's for sale here (in version 2 as far as I can make out)

I agree with both elicross and chuck. The sad thing - I think - is that it will probably just add to the boredom of modern music as every not-mainstream note will be edited out....
same as auto tune and beat quantizing. when used in a creative way they can be very cool, when used too much, very bad.

Yeah. I just recorded a version of La Grange (ZZ Top) but the project kinda failed because I wanted to do it without a drum-track as foundation, in order to keep the tempo variations. And I did LOL. I had to cut it short to keep the cool riff in the start and dump the trainwrecked solo in the end and - drumroll - redo it sometime soon. With all the gadgetry I might have chosen for the digi-wizard-repair option, that most likely would have "saved" it in an ugly way.
Still a cool riff tho..
i've been jamming out on "just got paid" recently. i love the rev's riffs, simple and greasy!

+1 what Chuck said.
Fine for special effects, but for actually correcting an instrument track, I'm not so sure. After all the effort on an engineer's part to perfectly mic something, and maintain maximum sound quality, it all goes out the window when you start screwing with a track like this. Even on my laptop speakers I swear I can hear a degradation in sound quality on the moved notes.
Who knows though, Otto Toon sounds like crap, and mainstream musicians are still using it left and right. I guess if it's convenient, and transparent enough to the average listener, it'll be popular.
The really annoying thing is that once you work out what autotune sounds like you can hear it on every damn record on the radio!
