The new Melodyne 4.2 update finally supports ARA (Audio Random Access) in Logic Pro. This speeds up your workflow enormously and enhances the interaction between Logic and Melodyne like never before. This video explains how it works.
Thanks for posted this great tutorial. But, I noticed you commented that Melodyne can’t convert ‘AUDIO TO MIDI’, that’s not correct. If you go into Melodyne ARA and go up to the settings, you will notice ‘THE IMPORT TO MIDI’ function. There you save it to your designated folder. Then you go to the file pull-down in Logic,. Go down to ‘IMPORT MIDI’ , then go to the folder you created.. Click on the ‘MIDI FILE’. It then automatically creates a midi track in Logic with the default instrument being a piano. At this point you just assign the instrument of choice. That’s it. I’ve actually tried it on some pretty detailed guitar, keys, vocals ,strings.... it worked amazingly. Even on guitars that had EFX, it still did a pretty good job. I then a&b an intricate Rhodes part that I converted. I panned them both hard L/R, and it was almost impossible to tell which was the original. If for some reason (which I rarely ran into) it seems to not catch all of the articulations, then I went the ‘TRACK HEADER COMPONETS’ in logic , clicked on the “GROOVE TRACK’ then went back to the original track with the Rhodes, and right where the track number is located, you highlight that area and a yellow STAR ⭐️ will appear, click it, then go to the other track, highlight near the number again, and there will be an open box. Click it. Now it should follow the articulations much better. At this point if there are still a few areas where they don’t match, just go into Logic’s piano roll and slide the notes. Then I even went and took the new part, added Melodyne to it and randomly raised some of the parts to a minor third. The results are amazing. You can do this with pretty much any instrument. I hope this helps.
Yes, of course there is Audio-to-MIDI in Melodyne. But it’s not supported by Logic the same way as by other DAWs. In Studio One, for example, it’s just a matter of drag‘n’drop. You simply pull the audio track to an instrument track and get a MIDI version from the audio.
Does your ARA load every time on every track? Cause mine doesn't- The first and most often the second track is ok but after that ARA is blank or even does not exist in the plug-in list. Does this happen to you to on track 3 and onwards?
I have occasionally read about ARA being buggy in Logic, but personally I haven’t experienced any of your problems yet. Have you written to Apple’s or Celemony’s Tech Support?
@@pop_polizei I have e-mails to Celemony but I wasn't 100 to begin with. But now I have a project with 2 ARA and the rest I have to insert standard track 4,5,6 Either it doesn't load Or there is no ARA in Logic.. I have to find a pattern and mail them. So try recording ara record ara 5,6 times to see if you run out of ara.
@@rawstarmusic But some other German companies do, e.g. Magix. Even Logic and Studio One are actually developed in Germany. ;) But seriously, I doubt this has anything to do with nationality...
pop_polizei Hm, Ableton is in Berlin and no tempo works and not ARA. But they are developing some audio features themselves. At least we can say that living neighbors doesn’t help.
Hello pop_polizei, Thanks for your nice video. Hope Melodyne will bring a chord track like feature to Logic. They can easily implement it so that if you open up multiple instances of Melodyne they communicate with each other and that tracks follow chord progression and if Apple loops are being supported hopefully soon you have an amazing tool. Apple loops following chord changes via Melodyne.Killer feature. What do you think?
