Melodyne Studio was up earlier this year for about £250 using their sales and upgrades etc. You’d never pay full price for it, there’s always deals to be done! Variaudio 3 doesn’t compare with Melodyne Studio or Editor version. It has polyphonic editing for a start. If I recall correctly, I thought ZPlane developed what has been repackaged as VarAudio, not Steinberg? I may be wrong. You might say they backed the wrong horse… I couldn’t say…
Anyway, I’ll keep an eye on Steinberg’s Cubase, maybe I’ll come back or maybe like some on here, I’ll never leave…
