Cut the chord!
August 11, 2008 | Software And Plug-ins
It’s official – the BIGGEST gold medal is being awarded to Germany during the Olympics, solely because of Peter Neubäcker, a music software engineer. You might remember Melodyne – a pitch correction patch.
Well, during the downtime in his day job of hogging sunbeds, Neubäcker has created a program called Direct Note Access (What, like DNA?).
DNA can dissect a chord into it’s individual parts so that it can be manipulated and reconstructed into……
Anyone?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Yes – Plug at the back. A different chord.
This is a really handy tool for Producers, musicians who write music on the computer, and for anyone mixing a band that doesn’t know its own songs.
This sounds like a really useful tool, but obviously if used in moderation. What we don’t want is a severe drop in recording quality. I mean, I still blame Autotune for the revival of Cher The Mummy.
There’s a tidy little video just here too. http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=dna_interview
Direct Note Access is due for release in Autumn as part of the Melodyne 2 plug-in. Should be about $400
