Cool! So Melodyne will become redundant. I like Melodyne but hopefully they upgrade the Time features in a way that's closer to Live than Melodynes. In any case if I can not have to pop tracks that need serious time stretching over to Ableton Live for quicker stretching and better accuracy I'm happy!

Oooops... I meant James, I don't know any Steve. He might be my imaginary friend attending NAMM... (I guess...)

Parity (or better!) in pitch and time shifting will remove all excuses to not use DP. Exciting news.

Awesome news. No more reliance on big fat buffered transfers in Melodyne.
I wasn't expecting this, I have to say, if for no other reason than that I assume Peter Neubäcker's polyphonic melodyne tech is patented. Another way around the mountain?

Might be IRCAM tech that's in Machfive 3.

DP's pitch shifting technology already looks a lot like Melodyne's. I wonder if there's a licensing agreement.

Good pitch & time (especially polyphonic, though that need would only rarely arise) would be a strong incentive for me to make the leap from 8 to 9.

The new features sound nice. I just wanna hear say honestly and accurately that they fixed all the stuff which we reported that 9.12 introduced.

I'm sure that you know that it's not available in current 9.xx versions yet, so you've got a while!

But, yes, that has always been a weakness in DP since it was DP. I have 2 apps that I use for that when needed and import back into DP.

I would guess one of the reasons for the zero announcement of an actual time this year they introduce this into DP is that they have to do both, introduce this and fix the bugs.

To be fair there's a not so hidden skeleton in the closet when it comes to the 9.1 PreGen issues, third party plug ins with issues that PreGen sadly highlights. Code is a funny thing that way, they can pass plug in evaluations and still have non standard or not to VST/AU spec parts that could possibly conflict with PreGen. This was stated by MOTU, and it's fair to point out that not all of us are hit with huge bugs in 9.12. The only thing that's shocking to me about the upgrade in my setup is how jumpy the CPU meter gets when you have multiple VI's record armed/enabled etc. DP9.12 does what it says it will do besides that, as soon as tracks are all unarmed, it drops the CPU down to nothing. That's the big one though, it seems that running multiple armed tracks is more CPU consuming, probably due to the new lower latency code. For me it's no less stable than most previous versions, although 7 was rock solid here, not a single memorable crash.

Thanks for clarifying that. I guess it won't matter for me if it is a 9.x update or a full 10.0 version upgrade, I think it would cost me the same. But if it works, it would cost less than the alternatives. Would love to see a nice spectral editor in the waveform edit area, but that might be asking too much.

I posted videos of the demo in a different topic. I'm on Tapatalk so PITA right now to get link. Search new posts and you'll find it.

Hey guys,

I don't know about anybody else, but I can't get these 2 videos to play.
