Can I use Melodyne with Ableton?

Under OS X, you can in principle use Melodyne in Ableton Live either as a VST 2 (32-bit) or as an AU (32-/64-bit) plug-in. We recommend use of the AU version.

How do I activate Melodyne in Ableton?

To use Melodyne in Ableton, start by creating an Audio Track by selecting ‘Insert Audio Track’ from the Create menu or by pressing [COMMAND + T] on Mac or [CNTRL + T] on Windows. Next, drag and drop an audio sample from Live’s Browser or Finder/File Explorer onto the Audio Track.

Can you use Melodyne in a DAW?

Melodyne is there where you need it. Melodyne runs under macOS or Windows, as a stand-alone program, or as a plug-in (VST3, AU, AAX, ARA) in a DAW.

Does Ableton have Ara?

This is actually a question you need to send to Ableton. We developed the ARA standard, but we cannot implement this into a DAW.

What is Melodyne compatible with?

Melodyne 5.1 is compatible with macOS 11 Big Sur on Intel-based Macs as well as on ARM-based Macs under “Rosetta”. Intel or AMD Dual Core processor (Quad Core or better recommended), 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended), Windows 10 (64-bit) or higher, ASIO-compatible audio hardware.

What is better Melodyne or Auto-Tune?

If this is the sound you’re after with your vocals, then Auto-Tune will deliver where Melodyne can’t. However, if what you are hoping for is a more transparent approach to the tuning, Melodyne is the best choice. When used properly, the vocals will be left sounding untouched but perfectly in tune.

Is there anything better than Auto-Tune?

It takes a little more user intervention than with Auto-Tune, but Melodyne does provide an excellent automatic pitch-correction function. What seeing Melodyne as a plug-in really brings home, however, is just how intuitive on-screen editing of the pitch of note ‘blobs’ is.

Is Ableton worth the money?

The live functionality, intuitive loop-based production, built in instruments, samples and effects and integration with Ableton Hardware make it well worth the high price tag. If you do want a truly elite piece of software for making music, there aren’t that many options.
