Hey Josh, thanks a lot for this video! Great to see you like working with Melodyne. :) If you want to speed up your Melodyne workflow, you could make yourself familiar with a few keyboard shortcuts (e.g. switching tools). Keep up the good work!
the only thing which sucks in melodyne is the key-detection, not only would choosing in a list of all available scales to quick align be a killer feature for all electronic and remix producers , but also because key detection is often wrong, so its really needed anyways.
Melodyne actually comes with a huge selection of scales to choose from. But usually Melodyne is pretty good at finding the song key. The correct detection depends on the number of different notes that Melodyne can find in your material. Obviously, a melody with only three different notes is more ambiguous than one that has all the scale notes in it. If you need further assistance with Melodyne, please feel free to contact our Tech Support: support@celemony.com. Thanks!
At some point you mention how you're not the best singer out there and how it forces you to change a lot of things with Melodyne. Well, you not being the greatest singer is EXACTLY why this tutorial is useful. Thank you for the detailed explanation, watching your video was a time very well spent !
Nice tutorial... I noticed that Melodyne is very integrated with Presonus studio one DAW.. You don’t have to hit transfer - you click “edit with melodyne” and it sets the whole thing up ready to go...and you can hit space bar to play n stop. Or if you’re working in other DAWS just solo the vocal track then use the space bar to play n stop (I think that’ll work)
Thank you so much for such helpful tutorial!!! Especially the trick with the starts of the notes (smth like 'scoob' as far as I can hear). I have a lot of such notes in vocal and was completely confused how to tune them)
Note Assignment mode allows you to correct Melodyne's interpretation of the the material. For example, with male singers, sometimes Melodyne will assign notes to the wrong octave. It confuses the 2nd harmonic for the fundamental sometimes. So you can go into Note Assignment mode fix the analysis, then go back into track and tune the vocal.
thank you for this i love all your videos i been watching them since the 1st logic x tutorials that you upload i hope you come with more techniques and tricks for melodyne 4 and also for logic x to
Pro Tools Asks you if you want to bounce the file in mono, multiple mono or interleaved (1 stereo). Plus you can consolidate inserts in Pro Tools. Thanks for the tutorial! very helpful.
uggh that verse riff was actually money...reminded me of that band C.K.Y. kinda. thanks MTHG....been watching your vids since 2016. thanks for all your help
Nice tutorial! But the "S"-sounds really should be cut off the note prior to changing the note pitch. They hardly contain any pitch information and will sound "screechy" if moved with the rest of the note.
Thanks, I'm aware of that. But this is a basics video I didn't want to get into that here. Perhaps I'll do a video where I cut out the consonants to demonstrate that.
but i think voiced consonants like z, l, m still have a pitch. you can sing just with "m" for example, but with s or f i think it is impossible, they are like white noise and have no real harmonics.
Very informative, thank you. I'm using a trial version of Melodyne 4 and it seems worth the $99 for the basic version. Logic X's flex pitch gets frustrating, often leaving digital artifacts or that dreaded robotic sound. My hope is that Melodyne will do a better job being more subtle. Thanks again!
I've no experience with Logic, but the integration of Melodyne is pretty different in Studio One. You can take any track or clip, right click, and select "edit with Melodyne" which quickly detects the notes and opens the editing window. The functionality within Melodyne seems to be the same, but after you're done, there's a faint purple line in the clip, indicating at a glance that it's been "Melodyned." If you need to adjust something, you just double click on the clip and you're back in the Melodyne window. If you decide for some reason you need to go back to the original audio, you just right click on the clip and select "remove Melodyne." When I'm done editing with Melodyne, I like to bounce the clip or the track, just to make sure the changes are stable, and to reduce the CPU load. I guess it would make sense that the implementation of Melodyne might be different given the differences in software of the various DAWs, I'm just glad it's so easy in mine. :-)
Yes, studio one is the only DAW to integrate it like that, that I know of. With Pro Tools, Logic, and others, you have to load it as an audio FX plug-in.
I sing to instrumental tracks that are pitch altered before I lay down my vocal. So it's all going to be slightly off from the conventional chromatic scale. So I'm wondering how the program is going to handle this. That said, I would think if a singer is singing to a guitar that may be a little off the pitch too, so how does the program deal with that?
Wish they would please give us a Pref setting to "ignore" or "snip" breaths & esses! The software already detects & shows where they are... (as in not a pitch)... so why not just give us a button? That will save so much time. I've been using it since it came out and love it, but this is a no brainer.
I don't knwo but I don't see much difference from doing this with Logic Flex pitch options. Overdoing this make in any case the recording unreal and I prefer to record i again or leave it with authentic little issues. Thanks anyway for the video.
+vittogol the problem is that logics fled pitch is extremely inaccurate and causes much more noise on the signal. To the point where I just can't even use it.
My experience with Flex Pitch is that it introduces artifacts, whereas Melodyne doesn’t. I like the Flex Pitch interface more though; I just wish it didn’t introduce those artifacts.
If all of the effects on my Vocals are on a bus, should I put the melodyne plugin on the bus my vocals are sent to before my effects ( like reverb, compressor ) ?
try some tutorials, real singing is much easier than learning to pitch-correct/autotune. not joking, after two years you are a decent singer, after 5 i still can not remotly use pitch-correction without everything automated. my ex sings opera, shes doing it for over a decade now. just start about pitch-corr and she gets angry sooo overhelmed she gets. remember, it was made to dig oil and someway they made it a musical device.
I don't get people like you. You had the energy to write this comment, yet you were too lazy to even TRY to use Google. Unless you seriously change how you approach things, how do you expect to achieve _anything_ in life, _anything_? Why even try?
What's the word for when you alter your voice in a song? Like sometimes in a rap song there will be like creepy or demonic or robotic voices and I have no idea how to refer to it... And what DAW specializes in this specific category? I have a very specific idea in mind for a few of my choruses... Thank you so much to whoever has any helpful information!
@thony Ant Thank you so much bud! I'm definitely gonna try that out. Just for being the 1st person to respond, you get to hear my trash song first lmao
@thony Ant I already have the free beat, chorus, and verses completely finished... I just need to find a local Producer who can properly record and mix my songs. I wanted to do all of that stuff myself, but I recently discovered just how complicated it actually is and how WAYYYY OVER MY HEAD I was haha
Thanks for the video. I used to use Melodyne Editor 2. Unwisely sold it off. Currently have Essential but am looking to step up to Assistant or even Editor 4. Which parts of this video CANNOT be done in Assistant? From what I'm reading everything you did in this video can be done on Assistant except for the Scale Detective stuff. Let me know if I've got that correct. Thanks again, great walkthrough. I've been using Waves Tune for a while and like it, so I forget the workflow in Melodyne a bit (I don't use Essential, way too limited).
Why don't you emphasize the use of the right click contextual menu in this plugin? It's super handy, and honestly i wish Logic would adopt a similar approach with tool use, with whatever other contextual items below.
This is the best video Ive seen on how to use this plug in - thank you. Need your advice - Im using Presonus Studio One Pro and got the Melodyne Assistant Version. Would it be a good idea to do a complete mixdown of all of the music tracks, and then import that into a new session to record all of the vocals over? I say this because I want to lower the music a half step so its more within my vocal range. Also, I have about 8 vocal backing tracks I need to do. Thanks!
Quick question. Sometimes I do acoustic recordings, guitar and voice per say, and the guitar might be off tune by idk.. 15 cents. How do you fix the scale detune so that when you go to pitch centering, it corrects it straight ahead to the 15 cents detuning? Had trouble with that and for that particular example i had to correct sillable by sillable, manually; but i'm sure there's a faster way to do it! @musictechhelpguy

the double click note separation is what I was missing. thanks a lot for clearing this up for me. great job on the video.
Your vocals sound pretty amazing dude! I'd say you will be an easy singer to work with (from my experience as a producer).
Your videos are just great! So helpful and full of info! Cheers from Brazil!
You can double click anywhere to start playback. It doesn't need to be up in the time bar.

In Pro Tools 12, you can just commit the changes - no need to bounce out to another track... Great video

Dude, you say you're not the perfect singer to work with but I'd say the song was quite alright and your voice rocks.
Anybody know why my Note Assignment Mode icon would be grayed out? I can't click on it. Thanks in advance.

Nice tutorial! But the "S"-sounds really should be cut off the note prior to changing the note pitch. They hardly contain any pitch information and will sound "screechy" if moved with the rest of the note.
In fact, cutting off all consonants at the beginning and at the end of words is recommended to minimize audible artifacts.
Thanks, I'm aware of that. But this is a basics video I didn't want to get into that here. Perhaps I'll do a video where I cut out the consonants to demonstrate that.
