This official Celemony video features an interview with Midge Ure, about the Ultravox Reunion, recording new music and Melodyne black magic.
While it’s a corporate video – Ure has interesting comments to share about getting Ultravox together again and how the new technology has changed how he works.
Midge Ure became famous with Ultravox (“Vienna”, “Dancing With Tears In My Eyes”) and as a solo singer (“If I Was”), but he has also worked as a producer and songwriter for artists such as Thin Lizzy, Visage and Band Aid.
The discussion with Ure comes from a section on the Celemony site that focuses on how artists are using Melodyne.
Midge Ure is such a cool fucking dude. One of the few pop stars I’d love to just sit down over a pint. Ultravox FTW.
Being able to play around with alternate timing and pitches for a vocal lines that you've sung is probably the first instance of a use for Melodyne that I can get behind.
