Oh neat, I didn't know Melodyne had built-in Mackie support! Well, that plus an SDK of some sort may just give us a way in.

All I know is, the results of Melodyne sound so much more natural than even the most careful use of Autotune.

I wonder, could this give us some sort of backdoor access to Melodyne? They mention an SDK so perhaps someone with programming experience can shed some light on this, and whether it may benefit us or not, re. gaining access to
Melodyne.


Here's the press release.

Munich, 2012-07-12 (ictw) - As of today, the ARA Audio Random Access
interface extension is available to all software manufacturers. ARA allows for the improved integration of Melodyne and similar plug-ins into digital
audio workstations (DAWs).

As an extension of existing plug-in interfaces such as VST or Audio Unit, ARA opens an additional channel of communication through which the DAW and plug-in are able to exchange information about the audio files and their placement in the song, as well as over their tempo, pitch, rhythm and more. The plug-in is ?far closer to the action" in the DAW and therefore works considerably more efficiently; the DAW, for its part, is able to integrate the plug-in and take specific advantage of its strengths, as though the
plug-in were part of the DAW itself.

ARA has been implemented in Presonus Studio One as well as in Melodyne
editor, assistant and essential since the end of last year. The
ARA-facilitated interaction between Studio One and Melodyne leads to a very user-friendly workflow that goes far beyond anything previously afforded by plug-in interfaces and allows a still more effective use of Melodyne. With the ARA Software Development Kit (SDK), other manufacturers of DAWs and
plug-ins can now integrate ARA into their own products free of charge.

?Since Melodyne ­ thanks to ARA ­ is now integrated more seamlessly into Studio One, there are fewer hurdles and you can play with it in a far more musical way. A fact reflected in the spontaneous enthusiasm shown by users, which was nice to see,? says Melodyne software architect Carsten Gehle, who emphasizes in a film in Celemony's Melodyne tech talk series that during the development of ARA other manufacturers were taken into consideration from
the start: ?Since we developed ARA in collaboration with Presonus, it
reflects the points-of-view of both plug-in and DAW manufacturers.
Furthermore, we've made ARA as open as possible, so that as many
applications as possible can benefit from it.?
