Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio

Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio is the complete edition of Melodyne, the note-based editor for the pitch, timing and sound of recorded audio. It is for producers, mix engineers and singers who want to correct or reshape vocals, instruments and even single notes inside chords. It runs on Windows 10 or 11 and on macOS 10.12 or higher, native on Apple Silicon, as a stand-alone program or as a VST3, AU or AAX plug-in.

What is Melodyne 5 Studio?

Melodyne finds the notes in a recording and lets you edit each one: its pitch, timing, length, vibrato, formants and volume. Melodyne 5 is the current version, now at 5.4.2. Studio is the top of the four Melodyne 5 editions and the only one with the multi-track window, so you can edit the notes of as many tracks as you like in one place. In DAWs with ARA support, Melodyne works directly inside your session; what ARA can do depends on the DAW.
