In a new tutorial feature devoted to the creative use of Melodyne, Celemony is focussing on remixing. Melodyne is known as a great tool for the correction of intonation errors and the optimization of vocal tracks, but is capable of much more.

A series of video tutorials now shows how Melodyne helps to separate a vocal part from its accompaniment, how to produce crazy echoes and other effects with Melodyne's characteristic audio notes and how to use audio-to-MIDI to double or replace sounds. Fundamentals, such as how to adapt loops fast to new musical contexts and the more efficient use of Melodyne in a DAW, are also dealt with.
