For those of you have been eagerly awaiting Direct Note Access from Melodyne, which allows you to actually edit each individual note of an audio recording (even if there are chords being played), they are currently in public beta testing. This means you can download and test it out for free here is the link;

It's really great. I did not know there was such advanced software available. Amazed by the way we can manipulate any sound.

Cool. Good thing they're sharing this for free even if its just for now. Ha ha. You're right howard. Before we would have to do crazy things just to alter some notes. This is gonna make it a whole lot easier.

I'm not familiar with it, but if it can pick a note out from a chord and edit that, it must be a major breakthrough.

If it becomes popular, I wonder how it will be used? I mean for fixing bad notes, or for drastically changing the harmony of phrases.

I saw a music producer using it. Some guy had recorded some guitar notes to be used in a record, but he played a wrong note. They were checking the recording and noticed it, but the guitar player had already left, so they used this program and edited the bad note. Wow at this software.

Yea your supposed to be able to pick one note out of a chord and change it, it's absolutely amazing. They were supposed to release it so long ago but it's obviously been proving a challenge for them to live up to their word.

It will mainly be used to fixing bad notes but I reckon that you could get some crazy vocal effects out of it somehow.

I get the idea now of how to use it and what's it for. And when would it be good to use. But isn't this just the same with some music editor like Nero's for instance?
