Melodyne sounds more natural to me and the fact tha I can use it as a De-Esser with the sibilance tool makes it a winner for me. It all depends on how much time someone want to spent on editing vocals though
Yes!! I’ve been printing my vocals de-essed by Melodyne the past few months and to me it is working as well. Some people use two tracks: one fully de-Essed and then mix to taste.
I forgot to mention I also use it for time correction. Pro tools generates wired noises in my case when I time correct, so I’ve had better results time correcting with Melodyne. Any thoughts on this?
I'd absolutely love to man! The toolkit in Melodyne is amazing and capable of so much, however, if i would have tried to explain everything in this one video it would be too long and no one would watch it. I'll do my best to schedule this down the line -Miami
I use both! Sometimes i use melodyne to just tune it roughly, and just go through and see if anything is too much off-pitch. Then I slap on autotune with a light setting to take care of the rest. Usually I use melodyne for the main vocal that I want to sound most polished. Background vocals i tend to use autotune with a fairly strong retune-speed. I think melodyne has the advantage of perfection, and autotune has the advantage of time-saving. Basically! Stay safe folks! ;)
I find that auto tune (automatic) sounds the best when the take is a perfect as you can get it. So bc of that, I use melodyne to correct first, and then run it through AT to glue it all together 👌🏻
In my case, I use Melodyne after making subtle modifications using waves tune. It's the same as the plug-in tips, and I think it's most effective to modify it little by little and stack it. I'm sorry for the strange translation.
Oh, wow, good ears. I can hear what is off specifically only when you pin point it. And I did look at the whole damn thing, didn't even notice it until it was over :D
I prefer Melodyne. I use it on my own vocals. But I don't mind the tedium of editing. I'm willing to sit and go through a track note by note for hours, making everything sound as tight and as natural as possible. I have a lot of patience for that kind of thing, but I understand if someone doesn't.
I use both actually. Melodyne for the nuances and the overall pitch correction. Although my approach is not to edit the life and imperfection out of the vocals. Otherwise, a robot can sing along then. And finally the AutoTune because it definitely as a sound to it. So I use it as an FX.
@@joeymusic it’s pretty cool approach to be honest. Even when producing metal. There still a lot of people who are bashing against AutoTune and in reality it’s just a tool that can help a lot, specially during production in a creative way. And, as any tool if not used properly there will be bad results.
Hey great video (and vocal chops!), does that 'quick and dirty' method you were discussing with melodyne where you adjust the pitch center and pitch drift settings come with all versions of melodyne? For me, that would be the dealbreaker between going for melodyne assistant over melodyne essential
I’ve been using Melodyne for a long time, I switched from auto tune a while back because I couldn’t get it to sound natural and got tired of the Cher effect messing the takes. For the last couple of years I was asking myself how things would be today, so thank you for the video. I have seen people in the past few years using auto tune more so i was wondering if it had improved. I’ve also seen major pros using waves tune. I’ll continue to use melodyne but is it just me or it felt like the vocals sounded a little bit different?
Auto tune has been my go-to for my whole career. I have worked in studios where partners use Melodyne, Waves Tune, and I feel like AT just is the most transparent. Although I see Melo and Waves to be a little more economical. Great for quick tunes. The great thing about AT is that you can drag your settings to the double, than track in pitch and do slight adjustments. Which is super economical. Really only if you edit tight beforehand. It's vocals so I'm not ashamed to get completely hands on. But vocalign is a magical tool. Very accurate.

This is definitely part of it. There are so many features of melodyne I’d love to dive into! Hopefully in a future video I will

@@joeymusic Yeah man please do an in-depth review. Would love that.

I love how your videos are easy to understand! You're really killing it when it comes to tutorials! I would love to see more
Thanks so much! Is there any tutorial you would specifically like to see in the future?
@@joeymusic I'm interested in a full vocal production tutorial (everything from eq to the rest of the chain) or a drum mixing tutorial from you man!
You going for those vocals has me inspired. Crushed it! Would love an in depth tutorial of Melodyne if that's in the cards somewhere down the line.

bro how you afford that?
Both! Auto-Tune for the effect and for quick pitch-correction, Melodyne for vibrato and timing edits
Duuuude Miami, you’re the best at explaining in an easy and engaging way to follow. I’m feeling these!
Keep killin' it with the content, Miami! 💪
Thanks dude!
I’ll keep making content as long as everyone keeps watching🙂!

Joey, what affordable mic do you recommend to record my vocals. Have a blessed day.
What do you think about reatune? for a free version (obviously it lacks a lot of features) but i'd like to hear your opinion

I have melodyne 5 assistance. I enjoyed watching auto tune working. Great tool also.
They are both great for different reasons
You crushed it from the begin lol never needed any pitch correction to begin with 😂
The real question is what methods *Sounds* best
There are also DAW versions of oitch correction , whats your take on variaudio, ect ?
Best comparison and quick and dirty use of these plugins
Thanks so much! Is there one you would like me to go in further depth on? -Miami
@@joeymusic definitely melodyne. That seems like the harder one to master but gets the more natural results.

And finally the AutoTune because it definitely as a sound to it.

I have a very similar approach!

Really interesting , thanks :) Also this verse will be stuck in my head all day 😅

Thanks so much man! That feature comes with essential as well! It’s very useful

Please make Fl VS REAPER,
i need to make my life decision.
brooooo so fined tunned
Good breakdown. Thanks. More in depth’d be cool.
Which would you prefer. Autotune or Melodyne?
-Miami
@@joeymusic Melodyne. Long time Auto-Tune user :)

I’ll continue to use melodyne but is it just me or it felt like the vocals sounded a little bit different?
Should I use melodyne on fast hiphop vocals as well??
Somethingggg

Cool 💯💯💯😎✌️
Glad you liked it! What was your favorite tuning software of them all?
-Miami
You have an amazing voice The software you’re using is probably a little too hard for me I’ve been using the TC helicon vocals like touch 2
We live in a “one take, fix it, bye” era. They can make a goat sound like The Bieb.
No, they can't lol. Not without being able to tell it's been edited
This is absolutely false
