Try fixing one of my ultraquick octave drops in the middle of a legato phrase coming from and leading into a "megavibratoed" note!!!
Not even Melodyne takes care of that.
I know, I have it, and it can't be done without any artefacts showing up. (Oops, maybe I shouldn't admit to this, for several reasons...
)
The only option is to hit record one more time. Or in my case a million times over. And then end up picking the third take.
(Well, maybe it can be done but it would take quite some time just to
maybe get there. It's way easier to just do another take.)
But, yes, this is one of the better, (if not the best), tools out there.
Why would one want to use software like this if one can sing?
Well, try tracking 64+ harmony tracks and not do any mistakes.
Especially if you're tracking two or more people onto the same track.
(Yes, there
is a good argument for doing just that.)
All things considered, what makes fixing a note using Melodyne any worse than doing another take?
What's wrong with making an engineer's/producer's life endurable?
Can you imagine sitting there for hours on end hearing that one phrase repeated over and over and over again simply because the artist you're working for is either incompetent, worn out or having a bad day?
I'd go with Melodyne any day.
Oh, and have you ever wondered what that line would sound like with slightly different timing? With a different end note? Using a bit more/less vibrato?
Well, find out if it's worth doing without actually doing it!
