Everyone says that autotune is "cheating," but it's just another tool to enhance the mix, like EQ or compression.

Hi Graham, I love when you & your friend Joe Gilder do these "short" & to the point videos. They have really helped my mixes... now I have more time to get back to recording!

I love that you didn't shy away from praising God while sharing your talent. Big ups bro; all for HIS glory.

My boi graham loves the Lord 😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This works very well on classic major or minor keys. But when you're singing blues or rock, where you're doing a lot of sliding in or tightening notes, it's not so simple. It starts to correct stuff it thinks is wrong, but was actually intended to be that way. I've found that in that kind of situation, you almost have to do it manually on a note-by-note basis. Very time-consuming, to say the least, but it gets better results.

That reverb delay combo on the vocal is super nice

The guide is incredible Graham ! Greatly appreciated ! Keep it up :)

Thank you so much for detailed information. I mostly record worship songs in Acoustic guitar and vocal. But sometimes i sing flat which sounds awful. I have never use Autotune but i will try to use this time.

I enjoyed your video. I've watched a few that were very long-winded. Your video was very easy to understand and follow for pitch correction. Thanks!

That's a good learning tool to use. U can see exactly where you're flat or sharp. Especially if u don't have a good ear

Could you do a vidoe on melodyn stYle of pitch corrections for when you have to work with terrible vocals haha

Thanks for a brilliant video, to educate me , a 67 year old idiot who does like to play guitar and sing, both very badly might I add, is a feat in itself but I understand much more , I will now look at all your videos , big thanks from Garry in the UK

Best guide for ATP and subbed, thanks man!

Hey, thanks for the helpful content in these videos and love how you have the courage to use your worship songs for these videos.

Thank you about to get this certification in the next few weeks!

Thank you for the great lesson. Nice song BTW.

Excellent work! Five stars!

Hey Graham, I like your videos better than most because you explain things better and I love your music you share. I am very old school at the old type of recording and very new to all the new digital stuff. If I have a inter face can I use auto tune pro with it, or is auto tune all I need for a great recording. Thanks for your help. God Bless Terry

Great video Graham!!

Thanks for the lesson and free booklet. God bless!

Very clear and very informative tutorial! Many thanx RecordingRevolution!!!

I sure would love to learn from you! Man thanks for this!

I love your voice! God bless you!

Great vid. Well-explained.

I don't think I can ever thank you enough.

Thank You Graham!

Great Tutorial, and I also Love the song, are you singing it (Your Voice)? because it sounds pretty good.

This is the second tut I'm watching from your channel. Thanks for the heart of sharing. How would your vocal chain look like? I use Logic Pro X .. God bless you

Really helpful. Thanks 👍

Thank you and thank you for the guide

hey Graham wow you are so cool with your music and tips and advice! you should release that song i love it!! Where can i listen to it?!

I find that for my own stuff the most important aspect of using autotune (as a fix, not as an "effect") is to automate when to turn it on or off, and to automate the depth (amount) and/or the wet-dry mix. Most importantly, any places where a syllable is meant to be a gradient from one note to another, autotune must off. Assuming you don't want that "staircase" sound. Typically I will have just one or two notes that need strong autotune, such as a long held vowel ("seeeeeee...") that had an unfortunate drift in the take. Here I might go 80%/20% wet/dry, or (rarely) 100% wet. And I wouldn't have the entire word be strongly autotuned, but rather automate from a starting level of 20% or less wet before the word starts, then slope it up over ~200ms to max wet just after the consonant has finished and the long vowel gets going. I experiment until the transition cannot be noticed, and the effect is doing all good, no harm. Elsewhere the singing will have no autotune. Or depending on the song a light amount (20% wet) mixed in throughout, which, I discovered accidentally, can bring some depth and richness to a vocal, kind of like adding a better version of yourself as a backing vocalist. :-) When in doubt though, I leave it off. A little bit of tonal inaccuracy is human and is part of the vocal character. And anymore I will record 12+ takes of the same vocal, to end up with one or two takes of each phrase or word that isn't noticeably flawed.

Great video

It was a pleasant suprise to find that the sample song is a worship song!

Thankyou so much. But now I want to know where that song is... I love that song.

Thank you, so much 🎶🙂

The song was great! Where can we find the full song?

Thanks so much for your help! How would you find the right key if you don't know exactly which key the vocals are in?

Great Singer 😊

Awesome man. And I love that song. Praise God!

thanx again ...

You sir are a legend

good job bro

Hey! Thnx! What would yku overall recommend for vocal tuning autotune or melodyne? Mostly for pop songs

Very nice.

Thank you.

Great song! What version of Autotune are you using? Just want the basic correction... Not weird effects. Thank you for this video.

this is exactly what i was looking for i prefer auto tune efx 2 or 3 those were SOOO easy to use unfortunately theyre discontinued and i havent been able to find a product page to buy it or anything if that wasnt enough i think you need iLok for it anyway RIP

God bless you.

thank you!!! 🙏🏽

Excellent! I’m getting auto-tune because of your video.

The song was really nice I really liked it

Is there any difference in the way the algorithm addresses the vocal if its set to G Major vs E Minor for example since they're the same notes the scale?

thank u🧡

Hey great video! Where do I find the software?

Hallelujah brother I can’t wait for that day when I will kiss his feet! Can I ask you which plug-ins you suggest for a female vocal using Apollo twin UA?

I usually record three different tracks, place them on playlist and then go phrase by phrase choosing which one sounds better.

Love how you use slight autotune to even talk :D

Hello! What about using the graph mode? I think it can be more useful in instruments and correct precise passages of music.

Hey where can I listen to this whole song? Sounds great and I need some spiritual encouragement

Thank you for the lesson. I love your your song too.

Is this song released .....? Sound awesome ......

I have a passion for classic rock and love playing them on my electric guitar but my voice sucks so I need auto tune

God bless☀️🎶

It's interesting that the second this auto tune is on, it makes the vocals sound 2D. I don't know if it's because of the algorithm, the settings or the concept altogether. Maybe it's all of them combined.

Why are there comment from 7 hours ago when it was uploaded less than one hour ago

Thanks

your song is very beautiful ... what is the title of your song?

THANK YOU, LORD FOR SAVING MY SOUL.

where can i get this song? or album?

Graham! The Radio Ready Guide Site doesn‘t work!! The Website isn‘t loading.

You have a beautiful voice

Hey there Graham. Nice vocals. I wasn't aware you were a religious guy. Right on. Do you (as an artist) focus mainly on the praise stuff, or do you make regular/secular stuff as well? You seem like a rock guy to me.

7:45 this man spittin 🗣️

One of the best on Autotune, thanks friend, can you please do one with advanced editing with line tool also .

what would you do if they need autotune on all vocals?

Melodyne is a really really good software I personally use and its dope

_i actually want the full cover_

T-Pain approved!

Where do you put autotune in the mix chain ? After or before EQ, comp ect...

can you please tell us what software your using in this video.

this might be a dumb question but what does the natural vibrato knob do????

Man Graham auto-tuned his voice especially for this video too LOL 1:55

Very nice. I’ve been avoiding auto tune because as an effect it’s so overly used it’s comical at this point but as I’m learning to sing and recording tracks I was thinking of sneaking a little auto tune in

How do you determine what key you are singing in thank you awesome vids

What version of pro tools has this particular auto tune plug in?

can we use it for Indian instrument like bansauri flute and sitar and Veena too

who can I hire to do this for me? need help asap. or a very good tutorial. thank you brotherS!

nice

What mic do you use!?

sir how to find correct notes from vocals??

What delay settings did you use.

Hey Graham! Do they have any kind of pitch correction on protools first, or even just compatible with it? I made the mistake of downloading a volume meter, but turns out it does work with protools first. I don't want to make the same mistake again. Thank you!

Hey I wanted to ask, is autotune native to your DAW

How do you "add a note" to customize the scale?

But what if you don't know what key your song is in? Did the autotune tell you that your song is in the key of D or did you just know that on your own?

there is no sound when I minimize cubase 9.5 pro

Is there a version for pro tools 12?

Dude, where do I buy your music? You sound excellent.
