I think No Static will get a kick outta this.

Photoshop for Audio. Nifty.

Now Ashley Simpson can still suck and they can get her notes absolutley perfect!

In all seriousness, I can see alot of great and not-so-great uses for this, so I will just leave it at that. Pretty cool stuff though.

I totally don't understand the playing of any music, but that was cool.

interesting...the video and audio look very very cool...

would have to see how it works before making a judgment....basically to my ears and many others, Pitch Correction is audible and basically sucks. It simply doesnt track with the nuances of the human voice... nothing has been down that is perfect...

so if this thing does work, it seems that there would be some artifacts noticable....or perhaps the actual qualities of an instrument, for example the open E on a guitar string couldnt be 'exactly' duplicated when you change the pitch of a barred F chord to an E a 1/2 step below it because the open E chord has specific harmonic resonances that only occur when that chord is strummed in that sequence...

as a general tool however, this is fantastic.

do we want "perfect" music? do we want sloppy bad musicians to be able to make 'perfect music'? I wouldnt unless its like electronica or dance or something repetitive like that which relys on perfection inherantly.... did a German invent this teutonic product? seems logical

Just to be able to create a program that takes apart a recorded chord is amazing to me, but I guess I'm easily impressed.

Way cool, if it works well.

+1 im working on a 12 song record right now and this may be helpful to make some quick changes on supporting instruments in the mix.

here is a review of this product that i just found

to me it isn't about perfection, but the ability to remix and use samples in ways you could never do before.

"fixing it in post" takes on a new meaning. There now doesn't need to be a "pre".

Of course crap will still be crap. It doesn't create talent...just gives you a new tool and might enable some people to realize their vision or experiment and discover new ways to approach things.

notice what os the inventor has running

I'll retain judgment until I hear a high resolution version.

Although, it looks VERY impressive.

Just what I want to do; edit a 2-minute poorly-executed guitar part for 3 hours to make it right!

OTOH, good thing I charge hourly for editing.

Hasn't this been on garageband for apple computers for awhile?
