In their own words
Melodyne
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.
