Melodyne 5 now detects this automatically, which that’s important for two reasons. You could get around this by splitting the consonant from the vowel but this was time-consuming.

If you wanted to tune a note with a consonant attached, it meant retuning everything, and sometimes the result wouldn’t sound natural. In previous versions of Melodyne, the software had no way of determining the difference between sung vowel sounds and consonants. Sibilance detection is the headline here. There’s also a new fade tool that can be used on individual notes within chords, a new levelling macro, chord recognition, and a percussive pitched algorithm. The most significant updated feature in the new Melodyne 5 is the Melodic algorithm, with sibilance detection and improved pitch identification to make corrected notes sound more in tune.
