Having Fun with Melodyne Plug-in

I finally got the opportunity to purchase the Melodyne Plug-in and download it. The first test was to run it through some bass tracks I recorded earlier this autumn and yes it made them more tight which was the intent.Then I wanted to take something like a sentence my wife read into the microphone a couple 0f years’ ago. Little did or does she know that I’m now taking her material and making semi-melodies and formant changes in the output. Here’s an example of a quick hack I did with one sentence:

So I suspect my family is now worried about me sneaking around with a recorder and picking up conversations…
