Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio: Pitch and Timing Editor

Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio is the complete edition of the studio-standard pitch and timing editor and pitch correction software, and the only Melodyne that edits polyphonic audio note by note. Its Melodyne DNA Direct Note Access lets you reach inside a chord or a full recording and move a single note’s pitch, timing, length and formant. It runs as a plug-in with ARA integration or standalone. Mac and Windows, in one purchase.

What’s Inside Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio

• DNA (Direct Note Access): edit individual notes inside chords and polyphonic recordings, unique to the Studio edition.
• Pitch, timing and length editing: move any note’s tuning, position and duration with a click and a drag.
• Formant and amplitude tools: shift a note’s character and level without artefacts.
• Pitch drift and transition control: shape the way notes glide and settle for natural-sounding tuning.
• Sound Editor: reach into the harmonic content of a note for deep resynthesis.
• Unlimited tracks and multitrack editing: work across a whole arrangement, with tempo and timing detection.

Who Is Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio For?

Vocal producers and mixing engineers use this vocal tuning software as the transparent alternative to hard auto-tune, correcting pitch while keeping a performance human. Producers working with sampled and recorded instruments use DNA to retune a guitar chord or a piano take note by note. Composers and arrangers fix or reharmonise polyphonic material, and post editors clean up dialogue and timing.

How Producers Use Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio

On a lead vocal, engineers pull each note onto pitch by hand, then soften pitch drift and transitions so the tuning never sounds robotic, keeping the take believable in pop, R&B and rap alike. With DNA they open a guitar or keyboard chord and correct a single wrong note without re-recording. On backing stacks they nudge timing so every layer lands together. Many producers run it alongside a real-time tuner like iZotope Nectar 4, using Melodyne for detailed correction and the tuner for a quick live pass. Its ARA integration means edits sit directly on the DAW timeline, so there is no bouncing back and forth.

Questions Producers Ask

What is Melodyne 5 Studio?

It is the complete edition of Celemony’s pitch and timing editor. It gives you note-by-note control over pitch, timing, length, formant and level, and it is the only edition with DNA Direct Note Access, which edits individual notes inside chords and polyphonic recordings. It runs as a plug-in with ARA or standalone.

What is the difference between the Melodyne editions?

The editions step up in power. Essential covers basic pitch and timing, Assistant adds full tuning tools, Editor adds DNA for polyphonic material, and Studio is the complete version with DNA, the Sound Editor, unlimited tracks and the deepest control. Studio is the one professional vocal and instrument editors choose.

Can Melodyne edit chords and polyphonic audio?

Yes, in the Studio and Editor editions. DNA separates a chord or a full recording into individual notes, so you can retune or move one note inside a guitar strum or a piano take without touching the others. This is the feature that made Melodyne a studio standard.
