Melodyne 4 is available as a Stand Alone application, a conventional plugin insert, and an ARA processor in capable DAWs. Is ARA2 a plugin or a plugin format? The short answer is both. Should you have a concern, say regarding Post Production for film then you want as much user memory as possible just to be safe… ARA wont incur higher processing power than normal. Most modern systems are remarkably powerful in general. However, I have personally never had an issue processing up to 42 tracks in a session on a system running 16gigs of RAM. So as far as file “size” is concerned the more RAM the better. Hey Toby! First, thanks for the great questions. For the Logic of NAMM 2018 was a big deal, and a sign of good things to come for everyone. And that is what The NAMM Show is really all about.įor now, what does all this mean? Quite a bit actually. For developers like Jeff work hard to create amazing things that help channel our creativity, provide industry, and make it easy to simply do what we love to do. This moment humbled me for I realized again how fortunate we users are in audio production today. He outlined the numerous advancements with a true and genuine sincerity. He had just arrived from the Cupertino office eager about the 10.4 release. After just a few moments of conversation I was sold. Particularly how Melodyne now seamlessly integrates with the application. Sometime during the event and Apple Logic developer by the name of Jeff came to my booth to talk about Logic and its ARA integration. Audio quality and software communication is key, and ARA version 2 expands upon this making Logic 10.4 ahead of even its self! I am certain (and have it on good word) that more developers will be taking advantage of this technology and offering more ARA plugins in the coming future. Things run more smoothly and efficiently because everything is more integrated. allowing plugin and DAW to work more closely together. This may include things like tempo, pitch, rhythms, dynamics etc. Thus, any processing can be more adaptive and dynamic based on the audio file’s sonic properties. It sees and understands the whole audio file at once rather than just processing it in-place. ARA-2 technology allows your DAW and an ARA type plug-in to exchange information about the audio file more completely. Logic simply jumped ahead one version of ARA and hit the ground running ahead of most competitors. ARA has been available for some time now, however, Logic 10.4 is the first to utilize ARA, version 2 of the plugin format. ARA was developed by two company’s, Presonus and Celemony together. Much like Pro Tools AAX, and Steinberg’s VST. Simply put, ARA is the latest in plugin formats found in the industry today. As I quietly pondered this to myself in between attendee’s questions and such, I quickly began to realize a trend developing.Īlmost every other question at our Melodyne booth was about Logic 10.4… “Does it run in the new Logic”? “How does ARA work”? “Does it come with Melodyne”?… On and on… Although I had just installed the software the morning before and honestly had hardly used it yet, I found their level of interest infectious! And the reason why was simple. After reading through the included updates myself, I couldn’t help but wonder at first why this update was free… That was honestly my first thought considering how much Logic has transformed. From tempo detection updates, and new plugins to new user content and much more, anyone can understand the excitement. Let me back up… The amount of new features and updates in Logic 10.4 are nothing short of overwhelming. It seems Logic 10.4 added something up it’s sleeve that not only changes the game for audio editing but the future of Logic as well. One thing I love about this gig is all the positive things users have to say and share with me about the program. hired me to represent Celemony’s Melodyne. How a company as big as Apple can thrive on a grass roots word-of-mouth release is still beyond me. Two massive floors of every audio engineers dreams come true! So one can imagine the excitement and promise of seeing and hearing the best of the best in everything the industry has to offer in one enormous place. It housed the “audio production” technologies. The new ACC North building was quite impressive. Like every NAMM event, 2018 was no disappointment.
