Where to get itAvailable from Celemonycelemony.com

Melodyne 5 assistant is a pitch and timing correction plugin that lets you edit individual notes within recordings with visual precision. It's designed for lead vocals, monophonic instruments, and percussion tracks, offering legendary correction of out-of-tune notes while also enabling melodic variations, vocal arrangements, quantization, and timing improvements. The plugin's characteristic "blobs" represent detected notes that can be selected, dragged, and edited using intuitive tools.

05Sibilant Balance Tool with range -40% to -10% (or -80% for backing vocals)
06Attack Speed Tool for note envelope shaping
07Amplitude editing with fade tools and fades in/out on notes

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Correct Pitch Macro at 100% intensity with 'Snap to Chord Scale' enabled to snap notes to the nearest scale degree after defining the tonic and scale type
  • 02Apply Sibilant Balance Tool at -80% on backing vocal tracks to reduce sibilant flutter when double-tracking and adding delays/reverb
  • 03Duplicate a vocal track and set one to -100% sibilant balance (sibilant-free) and the other to +100% (sibilants only), then apply effects chains sparsely or not at all to the sibilant track while using full processing on the sibilant-free track
  • 04Drag the Attack Speed Tool dot upwards on a note to compress and quicken the attack for a harder, more pronounced initial transient
