Melodyne plugin is fascinating audio software to tune your vocals (with more options and far more natural than Autotune), improve your timing, reshape your melodies and more. A brilliant tool and a real must-have!
i love melodyne - this video sold it to me over 6 months ago and i've never looked back. i actually show this video to people who come round to record just to show them how good it is. nothing compares...to you.
What a lot of people don't understand is that using a tool like this is often a composition tool - I use these kinds of tools to work out harmonies and to hear how I missed the note and then learn to sing it the way I fixed it - It doesn't just fix shitty singers - It helps you learn how you should sing it
i have to agree that people don't care about developing their own skill as much but that is only people that take it for granted! But i am sure this device will also help to improve the people that care. This, however, is an awesome tool for mastering your CD to perfection! instead of tedious adjustments, this is a quick fix.
you could select all notes and then choose the vibrato tool (second down in the pitch tools list). Then just double click all notes and it should make the pitch transition (the small line) go completely straight. Give me a shout if you're still interested and having trouble.
Oh, I said in my earlier comments that singing isn't really talent, but I mean't to say thats not the only talent out there. I do believe that singing is talent as well, but knowing what you are doing when you are making songs is what should be considered talent. About this plugin, its pretty cool. I wish DNA would work with songs, but unfortunately the stuff I do doesn't really work with it, but it may come in handy in the future. :-)
A plug-in needs a host application (e.g. Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase ...), whereas a standalone version is independent. "Melodyne studio", for example, is the largest Melodyne, and you don't need a host program any more.
hey excuse i have a doubt i have been importing my vocals but my vocals startas at 1:28 in audacy and when i import it to melodyne it puts it on 0:7 how can i fix that and my sound sounds very robotic could you help me please?
If you want to record your vocals, you obviously need a mic, yes. But you can also open existing audio files in Melodyne. And no, it's not free. See the Celemony homepage (dot com).
Seriously, get the demo version of Melodyne and compare it to Autotune. It actually does sound way more natural! Also, as far as I know Autotune can't correct timing or quantize audio, can it?
It can't quantize audio, but you should have a better rehearsed singer instead of having to quantize it really. I have tried Melodyne..never liked it, the interface wasn't pleasing and I still think auto-tune used correctly sounds better.
To be fair to whoever posted this video, it works extremely well for its purpose. From the video, it really does seem to set the new standard for ease of use and quality. But considering the state of the music biz these days, live performance will be the bread and butter. Artists will be better served composing a vocal they can actaully perform. Ah, who am I kidding..! If you need this stuff, you suck!!!! Sorry!!!
Just because an artist cannot perform live and uses vocal correction doesn't mean they don't have talent. Singing isn't really talent. Making music and producing is really talent. Of course if you are doing singing, it would be wise to maintain your artist by mastering vocal talent. At least thats what I am doing, but I just think the way people see things is wrong.
This is awesome technology. But singing in tune and singing with soul are two different things. James Brown never had melodyne. Just kick ass vocals. A bit of both and you'll go far...
@BrandonmfReno well, if you suck at singing, then you should have be signed to a record label and recording an album. only real musicians should be doing that.
People say that Rap artists and Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus cannot sing live on key which means, they have no talent at all. However they are wrong to say that, the only reason why I hate them though is because their songs are very basic musically and there is nothing special about them, so yes I don't think they have much talent as what they supposed to have, but criticizing them because they are slow in performing is absurd.
its funny to see, that there are still people out there whoare trying use professional software and think that developers don´t have everydays bills to pay. its a shame with this fucking "for free" generation.
Right on! I'm so tired of that shit pitch corrected sound. I'll go as far to say that ANYONE who is in favor of this stuff, is NOT a musician. There is a difference between someone snapping their fingers musically, to some digital clock ticking. Who wants to liseten to a digital clock ticking? When I listen to pre-pitch shift vocals, they are rarely perfect. Listen to some of those Beatles isos. They sound like demo takes. But they sound natural.
Thats why the bands nowadays suck so much. They have computer programs they can use to make them sound better or even worse sound like whoever is doing well at the time.
