How's the Audio to MIDI in DP? Is the Melodyne better than DP's own?

Post by Gravity Jim »

Howdy all. I'm thinking of upgrading my Digital Performer to DP 11. If you're using it now, tell me:

Does the Audio To MIDI feature work? I've heard this promise before.

How is the integration of Melodyne? Doe sit work better than DP's own pitch correction?

Yes but it's not intuitive. David Das has videos on this. Once I got the hang of it, very useful.

Apples, oranges and bananas. PureDSP, ZTX and Melodyne each have their strengths. What I use depends on many factors.

There are a number of recent threads on DP 11.2 and Melodyne integration.
