But Celemony is still beta testing the 2.0 version that works with Logic. And there is no version of ARA 1 that works with AU plugins. So we still don't know what the improvements and new features will look like in Logic's implementation of Melodyne.

What is true is that with ARA, editing with Melodyne is very fast. Certainly not having to render audio is a major improvement over DAWs without ARA support.Ĭelemony has said that each DAW will implement ARA 2 with some different abilities and features, but specifics are few so far. While I am partially speculating, this probably has a lot to do with how the plugin format (VST, AU, RTAS, etc.) implements ARA. Note the quote below for an example of this.Īutotune and Vocalign Pro 4 have announced support of ARA 2 with a qualifier. At this point, Autotune only works in Studio One 3 or 4. Vocalign Pro 4 only works in Studio One 4 and Sonar Pro.

However, look at this quote from Synchroarts: #UAD AUTOTUNE FREE PRO# With ARA 2, the exchange of information between DAWs and plug-ins is even more comprehensive, which makes additional applications possible. The new ARA 2 specification allows, among other things, the simultaneous editing of multiple tracks, the transfer of chord track information between the DAW and the plug-in, seamless clip borders that make the manual setting of crossfades superfluous, Undo interlocking with the DAW, and much else besides. To profit from the new possibilities, both programs – the DAW and the plug-in – must support the ARA 2 specification. What features then become available depends, of course, upon the specific plug-in and DAW in each case involved.įortunately, ARA 2 is considerably more flexible and can be integrated more easily into a multitude of DAWs as well as supported by a very wide variety of plug-ins. One pairing may allow only simple sound editing, another perhaps even automatic tempo and harmony adjustments. I added the bold text to emphasize these sections of the quote.

The first bold section about chord track capability seems to be implemented in Studio One 4. It is unclear as to whether any other DAW will get this feature. The second bold section highlights Celemony's position that getting further DAW and plugin support will be easier due to the ARA 2 architecture.
