The Sibilant Balance tool is available in Melodyne assistant, editor, and studio.

Hello Hajo, have you already tried diving into Note Assignment mode and refining the Melodyne detection there? If you need assistance, feel free to contact our Tech Support here: helpcenter.celemony.com/en/supportRequest Thanks!

@@celemony Yes, I have tried. And in the meantime I had also contacted Celemony in Germany (I myself am German) and they confirmed that Melodyne has problems in distinguishing between the "roughness" of a Heavy Metal Vocal and real sibilance. And according to them Heavy Metal Vocals have more overtones than smoother voices and this may also lead to misinterpretations of the pitch of a tone. And I must say that I appreciate very much them being honest in these points. For me, this makes Celemony a credible company. If we all know better what we can do with this still wonderful tool and for what we have to find other solutions, we can adapt our editing work accordingly. And I am sure that they are working hard to improve this tool step by step. There are lots of other areas of application we can already use this program for.

Hey Jim, this is a Studio One thing. In earlier versions, copies were always linked to the original track. More recently, they have introduced the ‘New Clip Version’ command in Studio One that turns a copy into a unique one. If this doesn’t work for you, please contact our Tech Support here: www.celemony.com/support - Thank you!

@@celemony Thank you - I appreciate it.

Melodyne essential comes with a basic toolset only. The Sibilant Balance tool is only available in the larger Melodyne editions.

Pretty much what this video just showed us, give them their own track.

Absolutely! You also have the Sibilant Balance tool in Melodyne assistant. What you don’t have, however, is the multi-track view, that’s only available in Melodyne studio.

This is a rubbish reply from @celemony - I was looking for the answer to this same question and after reading this comment and then wading through your info about the different versions still didn't know. So I purchased the editor upgrade - which I have no use for - only to find out my Assistant edition lets me do all this! Honestly would like my money back for that upgrade. It's hardly a 'technical question' given the context of the video - and this entire channel, actually! Also the answer just so no one else wastes money like I did - yes, you can do all of this with the 'Assistant' version.

Hey Jeff, our Tech Support will be happy to help. See here: helpcenter.celemony.com/en/supportRequest

@@celemony Thanks for the reply. I thought I posted an update here but it must not have been submitted. It turned out to be the track I was editing. I struggled to get the separation results partly due to existing reverb as well as the vocal track being doubled. I was just really frustrated that day but after chilling out I was able to narrow down the issues, address them and then Melodyne worked brilliantly as I typically come to expect! As with any new tools, at first it is normal to struggle a bit. But this channel has really helped me get past the learning curve. I highly suggest to anyone struggling to use Melodyne to take a deep breath, maybe a little break. And once refreshed try to reverse engineer your problem and more times than not u will discover what u did wrong. But I believe with a tool like Melodyne, making those mistakes early on is part of the learning process. And if you handle the mistake in the right way, with the right approach. It gives you a huge long term advantage over someone who hasn’t made the similar mistake. I know this is pretty much common sense to most of us. But I have seen occasional negative reviews of top notch products like Melodyne, where the reviewer is inexperienced and they just do not know what they are doing. But seeing these video’s with Rich sharing his brilliant editing tricks should be proof enough that we all have so much to learn. The tool can do almost anything we need, but we first must master the tool to have any chance to look as masterful as Rich consistently is in these videos. I think Rich deserves a big raise! Without him, so many people like myself, might have given up. Thanks Rich for showing us the way and what is possible!!
