From Celemony
Melodyne studio is the largest edition, designed for professionals working with multiple tracks. Also, in the field of sound design Melodyne studio opens up new vistas with its unique function set.
In addition to all the functions of the smaller editions, Melodyne studio offers:
Multi-tracking: You can access all your DAW’s Melodyne tracks in a single window and display as many tracks as you like simultaneously in the Note Editor. So with backing vocals or choral works, for example, you have a clear view of the entire musical context and can edit related tracks together.
Multitrack Note Editing: In the Note Editor, you can make any selection of notes from the displayed tracks and edit them simultaneously. Transcending track boundaries. Using all the tools. Ideal for bringing backing vocals, for instance, into tighter alignment, changing their harmonic structure or improving their voice-leading – as effortlessly as if they were all on the same track.
Track-transcending macros: Intelligent macros let you enhance or perfect simultaneously the intonation, timing and dynamics of any selection of notes on any number of tracks.
Quantize to a reference track: With the Quantize Time macro, you can use the timing of one track as a reference for the quantization of others, turning a ragged ensemble into something tight and disciplined in next to no time.
The Sound Editor: Melodyne knows the overtone structure of every single note, and the access the Melodyne Sound Editor gives you to the timbre of your voices and instruments is just as far-reaching. Ranging from ingenious overtone macros to an exceptionally musical EQ, morphing and much else besides, the sound design possibilities are unique.
In a nutshell: The unparalleled efficiency of its multitrack workflow and comprehensive capabilities for the editing of vocals and all instruments make Melodyne studio the ultimate professional tool for state-of-the-art audio editing. Musical, intuitive, and awesomely efficient.

DAW compatibility
We test Melodyne regularly with the latest version of each DAW but only, of course, with versions of each operating system that have been cleared for use by the DAW manufacturer in question. If you wish to use some other configuration, please check with the manufacturer of your DAW whether it is compatible with your operating system.
You could equally well use the trial version of Melodyne to test this. With it, you can use all the functions of the program without any limitations, free of charge, for 30 days with no obligation. If Melodyne runs well on your system during the trial phase, it will continue to do so once purchased.
