This week is super raw and super real. I wanted to share something deep that comes right from the heart (I know it sounds cheesy, but stick with me here). Today we cover my journey of how I went from being a broke university student on a path I wasn't passionate about, to becoming a full-time mus...
Imagine having a beautiful melody in your head, singing and recording your heart out, and ending up with a strong and powerful performance... that sadly falls flat because the pitch is just a little too loose. This is where Melodyne has become a life-saver in the world of music production and mix...
