Current upgrade path gets me to Melodyne Editor for $100, or Studio for $200. While I know I will grow into Studio, just wondering if I should put out the extra $$ right now, even though its not a lot relative to most other things. I am doing mostly single vocals and might need to tweak an acoustic track I get sent and single track things like that - mostly song demo type stuff. Is Studio worth the extra coin and I am not aware of some brilliant feature (I am aware of multi-vocal edit capability, which I don't think I need yet.)
It seems now the upgrade to studio from editor is also $100, which I figure I could do later, but no guarantee that deal happens again but probably will? I just don't have experience with Melodyne and their upgrade offering, especially if they shift in the wind like Pro Tools has in recent years.
Thoughts on the matter appreciated.

The multitrack editing is HUGE, IMO, and totally worth the premium. If you have to tune stacks of vocals or harmonies, this is a massive time saver. Not only can see you see multiple tracks at one, you can hold down command and click on a note to hear it against the note its playing against in another selected part, so you can individually tune that relationship, which is great for fine tuning the amount of chorusing you want for doubles, triples, etc...

After upgrading I was really happy to have the option of loading more than one vocal track at a time. I also have used it to edit some guitar solos people have sent me. The option to change a note within a chord is utterly amazing.
It is a shit load of money for something you aren't picking up every time. But I was happy when all was said and done, as the added features have really helped life become easier on multiple projects.

Also it’s worth it if you multi mic any instruments

I only have "assistant" and I can't really justify going to Studio, but the "quantize to a reference track" feature sure is interesting (I see where it could really make things easier but I also don't like the idea of it generally lol)

For me it’s useful because you can tune both/all the tracks at once instead of one at a time. I believe with all the other version you can only do a single mono track at a time. Which is incredibly annoying and time consuming. On the rare occasion you have a vocalist that sang into two mics this feature is also useful. This is also a benefit of the full featured Izotope RX…if you have a multi-mic’d source and you can edit all the tracks together as a group instead of one by one. The amount of time it saves you pays for itself with one record |
