Wow, awesome, tutorial. I learned so much from this one video, Sensho. Because my vocal style has a lot of movement and bluesy, this helps to understand how to treat those notes, especially, splitting the notes to address the entry, mid and exits. Thanks
You gave me confidence and results. Understanding the importance of keeping the beginning of phrases intact makes all the difference. Thank you so much. You really helped me go from wondering if I'm making a mistake to improving performances in the right way.
The form Verse/Chorus of traditional song writing is what many beats seem to neglect. Nice job with the creative process. Real instrumental skills always add to the overall quality of mix.
Perhaps a video showing the transition to the relative minor for the chorus would be a good endeavor. Kinda complicated to setup with a dominant V in the minor key and various sus chords alternatives for the transition but worthwhile in terms of musicality.
And what do you do when it the line disappears after note reassignment? I work a lot with grumpy vocals and sometimes that happens. It happens a lot in reality.
Finally! Thanks for going on real world cases and not in isolation. I always felt I'm missing important parts but I have not found any great material. Until now! Also, this is a great demonstration why you should not let the keyboard player write the vocal melodies on their keyboard.
Hey Sensho...thanks. I'm new to Essential. HELP. please!!! I have given up on trying to fix a few clunker notes. Going to record new vocal on a new track...is there anything I should know....can I drag new vocal notes into original track that has been "melodyned".
Cool thanks for this. I was wondering about using it for Native American flute (because the notes are off unless it's 72 deg. F) but the notes are almost like a giant sibilant happening simultaneously over the actual frequency and its harmonics. It's the air rushing over the sound hole, and I don't know that it will sound great moved with the predominant frequencies because that airy rasp will get pitch "corrected" too, as if it were just more tonal harmonics of the pitch (which it's not, really). Some of the complexity is harmonics of the target pitch of the flute, but there's that airy rasp over the sound hole...
Thank you so much for your videos, brother. When you have time, can you please make a video on format shifting? I noticed that a lot of times when you try to adjust a note, it changes the format completely.
Just purchased Melodyne Studio and Presonus.I have other auto tune i.e. rackmount Atnares V ocal Producer as well as a gew TC Helico. Hopefully Melodyne can at least get me on pitch. Thank You
I was wondering why my vocals sounded so different after recording them & using Melodyne. I was just double clicking, pitch center & no pitch drift on everything. Going to start being a bit more deliberate with when I use it now, rather than slapping it on everything
--------------------DO NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM !------------------- MELODYNE GUI is an absolute trash. I think I have not seen the wrose interface than this. Wasted $600 and cnnoe read the screen ! Asked for a refund - no respons :-(
So…the glitch at the end of the phrase you’re working on around 15:30 is a result of how Melodyne detects the pitch line and sometimes completely bollixes it up. Then when you apply the hard pitch drift correction, it squishes the pitch line into a quick but very audible burble. This regularly drives me crazy, and I end up removing that note from detection just to get rid of the burble. To be fair, the burble is sometimes caused by a bad punch (as it might be in this case). But I’m still looking for ways to edit the pitch line itself to get rid of the giant jump. It would be great if you could highlight a section of the pitch line, delete it, and have the software fill in a logarithmic move between the two points.
Thanks for the clear and concise tutorial. The tip about assigning the same keys as those used in your DAW to avoid potential conflict I think is valuable.
4:46 and that's the end of the video. Man wasted 5 minutes of my life, an entire quarter of my for you page, and 10billion braincells with this video. Bro r u aids. Ableton , and THIS is unbiased, sounds farrrrrrrr better than Melodyne and your monotone sponsored nonsense. Karen rant over, you're right that they have different applications. I'd use melodyne for pitch adjustment and correction (like that of logics flex pitch tool), but for an entire sample.... yeah nah imma pass.
Great video, thanks! It would be really cool to see a similar comparison video with timing and stretching (Melodyne vs Ableton complex pro). I cant find any comparison for these on the internets. Or if you know the answer and want to leave it in the comments that would be super rad too.
I've looked everywhere and I can't find the answer .Maybe You know .Can you turn 2 notes into one .In other words join them up ?Thanks in advance .I just subscribed by the way .
Hi Sensho, thanks for sharing about melodyne! I'm a fan of this tool, but lately something annoys me. A lot of times, it ruins my vocal and makes it sound robotic when I corrected the pitch (It's not even far from the supposed-to-be pitch). Why do you think this happens?
I have melodyne assistant… do you know if my program has the function that lets you put all the auto tune tracks one one graph (in grey) so it’s easier to line them all up?
Amazing tutorial! I’ll admit it.. I’ve been a select all, 100% correction guy. But I make and produce pop music, so it’s never been a huge issue. Well I’m currently tuning vocals for an upcoming Christmas song. Followed your steps in this video and HOLY… my vocals sound so much more natural!
When im using melodyne to increase the pitch,my natural voice is getting changed to a robot like voice....can you make a video about how can we increase pitch without losing our original voice like professional singers like Justin Bieber ,Charlie Puth and So on
