Melodyne vs Voloco

Melodyne analyzes recordings and samples note by note, letting users adjust pitch, vibrato, volume, sibilants, note length, timing, and formants. Its four editions cover different editing needs: essential handles basic pitch and timing, assistant adds formant and dynamics editing plus audio-to-MIDI export, editor adds DNA Direct Note Access for individual notes in chords, and studio adds simultaneous editing across tracks in one window. DNA is available in editor and studio for material such as piano and guitar. Melodyne runs standalone or as a VST3, AU, or AAX plug-in, with ARA integration for compatible DAWs. Version 5 supports 64-bit macOS 10.12 or later and Windows 10 or 11; version 5.2 or later runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial offers full functions and can be used once per computer.

Voloco is a vocal recording app for iPhone and Android that tunes voices, adds effects, and mixes and masters tracks. Its mobile app describes more than 70 vocal effects, including pitch correction, harmonies, vocoders, and creative effects. Voloco Studio can record up to eight vocal layers, each with independent volume, pan, and effect controls. A BeatStars integration lets users browse, preview, and license beats inside the app, and the app can split imported songs into vocal and backing stems on the phone. Voloco Producer is a vocal-processing plugin for use in a DAW, with a resynthesizer, editable harmony grid, and sequencer. It requires macOS 11 on 64-bit Intel or Apple Silicon, or Windows 10 on 64-bit Intel or AMD. The site says users can export MP3 for sharing and WAV for professional mixing. The free mobile plan includes five effects. Producer Monthly costs $14.99 a month and includes a 14-day free trial; Producer Yearly costs $99.99 a year and also includes a 14-day free trial.
