it's just like auto-tune, but for instrumentalists. it makes playing
music a gigantic joke. but since im not an artist i cant have any
opinion on that.

It's ALL in the beard. The software is just a trompe l'oeil.

The hands of the artist will determine the value of the tool.

thinking about this a little more, what would make this challenging is
taking out not only the fundamental frequency but each of the most
important harmonics as well. for each note, that could get difficult.
but still definitely doable.

Why not? It looks like an interesting piece of technology related to music
production.

Do all mails have to have direct Detroit relevance these days?

Like simple pitch correction, it's just a crutch for the talentless
until someone starts misusing it.  Which is where techno comes in. The
rhetoric may be futuristic, but when it comes down to it, techno was
constructed with technology left around after it went out of fashion
in the mainstream.

As for Celemony Melodyne -- so far all the software they've done has
been very well done. Antares Autotune was the pioneer, Melodyne
finally got it right. It's a blast to play around with. The company
has a reputation for delivering what they promise.

I'm a little skeptical about the claims for sound quality.  It might
pass muster in a full mix, but any time you muck around with recorded
audio, especially something that listeners are highly familiar with,
like the human voice, piano, etc, even minute changes in timbre are
noticed. And then there's the 'uncanny valley' from animation. If you
change a vocal part to something too far from what is naturally
singable, or give a guitarist the ability to play 10-note chords, it's
going to sound weird, even if there are no audible artifacts in the
processing.

And by and large, it has f*ck all to do with Detroit Techno.
