Musicians shall be a fan of this when it gets released this fall. From the name it self one can figure out its a software that is going to correct the imperfect notes while music compositions. The software is precise enough to enter into a audio file and change any of the six notes of a guitar chord without altering the other ones. The software already is clever enough with digital recordings, smoothing and correcting performances. For example if the vocalist pitch gets disturbed or goes off key there are already programs form Celemony which can solve the problem by getting it right by changing the pitch high or low accordingly to get in the key. But there is a catch here they work well in case of solo performances. In case if its a rock band performance then it becomes a lot trickier.
Peter Neubacker the inventor of Direct Note Access has certainly been a pioneer in the music processing industry saving a lot of cash and making the software available at a pretty low price of $399. "Recording studios have millions of dollars’ worth of equipment that people once rented and used", he said. "Now you can buy a computer and software like this and for a few thousand dollars have more capability than the Beatles had when they did their stuff."
Just imagine the case when u could correct some track that was recorded in the past and has a defect. Neubäcker’s program is designed to tease out this musical mix of simultaneous sound and sort it into separate sonic envelopes that can then be manipulated. Our brain always does this while we are listening to music piece separating out all the notes and simultaneously. The magnitude of the task is surely pretty huge in case of a computer. The video a small demonstration of the software with some screen video. I can't just wait to get my hands on this thing. correcting music had never been so easy and more importantly so cheap.
a bit of Direct Note Access.
