I was about to say, this seems much better than melodyne and newtone. I havent used it yet but I get a lot of bad effects and sounds from the other two
@@tylerssoul I agree. I've used Melodyne before and found that while its interface is unbeatable, I can hear the plugin working a lot more than ReaTune, and I hate that boxy roboticised tone it puts underneath the vocal. It seems much less apparent in ReaTune! I'll have to keep on with it for a while to ensure I don't just have a case of 'fun new thing' syndrome, but I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with it!
I have to tell you, I normally can't stand video tutorials, especially when they are the only way to get information. However, yours are the best I have seen. You say what you're going to say and you show it and there's no wasted time. Thanks.
In case anyone has this problem, I have had the "sizzle" issue with ReaTune, but I noticed something with Freeze in this tutorial! When Kenny played it in real time with manual or auto correction (6:09), it did the sizzle on the s of "horse" making it buzz like "horzze". BUT when he did the Freeze track and rendered it offline, he played it back (7:01) and it didn't do the sizzle/buzz! When he unfroze and played again (7:26) it was back! I haven't tried comparing it myself yet, but maybe the Freeze/Offline Render fixes the sizzle? I'm guessing the CPU doesn't like correcting it and playing back all at the same time, so my new approach will be to do all my correction and then Freeze. Without the buzz, this plugin could be perfect! And, thank you, Kenny, for these tutorials. You totally rock.
Great video, but holy shit freezing and unfreezing tracks to save CPU is the feature I knew I always needed but wasn't sure what to look for! Thanks Kenny!
Kenny, you truly are a master with this tool. Thank you for continuing to make remarkable videos that truly help instruct. I just have no clue how you do this so well in that short of time, but somehow you always pull it off. Ever so grateful.
Man, this was a life saver. I 've been an anti-AT guy forever but have a track where overall the vocals provided to me are very good and there were just a few wincy pitchy parts and this fixed it right up. Thanks again, Kenny!
This was just what I needed to fine tune my recordings!! Thanks bro. Reaper is the best investment I've made towards my love for music! So glad I went against the grain and chose it for my DAW.
I'm constantly amazed by how powerful a tool Reaper is - the best decision I ever made, to switch to this. Thanks so much, Kenny, for opening up the world of this brilliant DAW with your great tutorials!
I had to use this effect to fix a slide guitar part on a blues tune. I selected the key as Kenny did, then selected the additional blue notes I needed (the tune was in E, I needed G and Bb). Then follow the same manual tuning process, and the lead track wound up sounding great. Just tweak the start and end points of the corrections for a little "slide into the note feeling". Great plug-in, and great explanation. I love this channel.
Whaaaat! I was thinking about buying a plugin for vocal tuning, but this sounds really good. So happy to have bought Reaper. So many things to learn. Thanks Mr. Gioia!
Forget Trump, forget Biden, forget Johnson, forget Corbyn.......Kenny Gioia should be president, prime minister, pope, sultan, prince and God!!!! Reaper was already an amazing piece of software but with Mr Gioia explaining and guiding and demonstrating its many features it is even better. Whenever I need tips or advice or a "how to" I always come here first. And I always find what I need and get inspiration to do even more. Thank you Kenny!!!
One of your tutorials taught me to add buttons to media items, so I added the "E" (envelope) button. Now my go-to pitch correction tool is the pitch envelope for certain media items. Of course, compared to ReaTune, it lacks some of the visual representation, but personally that's not a big loss for me, and it's also perfect for tracks that need pitch correcting in just a few places. Also, I'll definitely have to use the freeze track function more often. Thanks, once again! Best Reaper tutorials out there!
Pitch envelope is also better in that it doesn't snap to exact pitches - sounds more natural than 100% autotuned, like with the auto version of Reatune.
You are amazing, such a life saver, I feel like every reaper issue or question I have you've done a video on and saved me a ton of headache, thank you!
I tried this and turned a total junk of vocals into a decent one. Literally saved my song I say. And all of my future ones...I needed this because I'm not a singer and don't have anyone to sing for me. I can't thank you enough Kenny, you nail it every time man!
@@ashemorgan1638 hopefully you already figured it out by now. I often use 12th fret harmonics to tune the lowest strings on my bass. If the intonation is set properly this should be accurate. Some tuners can't recognize the lowest frequencies, especially if you go for anything below E standard.
I’ve been at it for over a year now and a lot of things have really clicked mostly lately , but you will find it gets heaps easier. The hardest part for me was not knowing what the problem was and what to search for , I literally had no idea what “arm a track “ even meant lol. Now I’m able to write full length songs which I play every instrument for and songs I’ve had in my head for years have finally been given life and it’s changed my life , spiritually and mentally where I feel happy. I attribute that to being able to express myself now I know how to utilise these tools . Hope you are well bro, share any work you get done , you can find my work on Soundcloud soundcloud.com/mattyjamesbritton
Britto I love everything about this comment. I recorded my first song ever with Reaper tonight even though I didn't know what I was doning for a long time. Really happy to hear you've been able to express yourself too.
@@jordandennis1585 that's awesome man! I'm just now learning about all of this DAW stuff. I have Reaper and I'm RUclipsing every single thing. Once I learn something, I run into another learning curve about something else. This is WAY harder than I thought it would be. But I'm looking forward to learning everything I can to do this! Glad you're finally doing your songs brother!
I think the fancy versions of Melodyne have polyphonic pitch tracking. So, for example, if you have an acoustic guitar performance with one string out of tune you could in theory just tune that one string in the plugin.
Kenny - I am posting this suggestion here as it concerns pitch correction. Recently I have started moving away from using plugins for pitch correction and have begun relying on Reaper's take-based pitch envelope for this purpose. I find that it is much easier to get natural-sounding vocals with this method than when using REATune or other pitch correction software, whether in automatic or manual mode. You may want to consider doing a video on this feature. As always, your efforts are appreciated!
Thanks Kenny, pretty good explanation! I'm also using ReaTune from time to time and what I've recognized occasionally is some sort of sizzling or distortion artifact on consonants in certain cases. I guess it's best when the plugin doesn't affect "S" or "SH" consonants. Sometimes you have to readjust the end of the blue line until the result sounds artifact-free. In the video you can hear the effect at 6:09 on "horSe" (compared to "horse" at 2:39). What's your opinion?

yes, when changing the pitch of an "sss" or "shh" it may come out sounding unnatural in any tuning software. the only true workaround I know of is to replace that "sss" with the one from the original (not tuned) version of the vocal. it takes time if there are a lot these in the song, but if you're after a clean sounding result thats what it takes
I always use autotune but i swear this sounds really good. Also the interface on AT can be a bit clumsy especially zooming. This looks really nice and i will give it a try.
"...and now we can work through entire performance" :) Vocalist will be a star and sound engineer will stay unknown guy :) That's how this world is rumbling. THX for tutorial.
Thanks for the tutorial, saved me from buying pricey auto tune vst. It’s unbelievable to know that such good vocals is still getting flat/#, honestly I didn’t notice that.. maybe some obvious few but not a lot like what program detected 😂
"Horse is a bit flat." To the knackers yard it goes. 😂 Seriously though, dare I say this sounds better than the little poor experience I had with Melodyne years ago.
Not sure why I've never used this on vocals, have used it on guitar and violin several times with mixed results. That said, you save yourself a lot of time by just getting a good take.
This is much faster than Melodyne or Repitch and sounds just as good. I would use Melodyne or Repitch only to fix (too) wobbly vibrato parts which does not happen with every vocal take. Make sure there are no lines over t or s sounds in order to keep it natural sounding.

ikr xD
I don't understand - what is so funny about it?
I had no idea that pitch correction in ReaTune sounds that good, wow !
same for me its actually very good!
Me neither, and now I also know it is possible to freeze tracks. Nice nice nice. Did you know (one of my favorite bands) Tycho uses Reaper?

Didn't know how the manual view worked. Thanks! The poor man's Melodyne and recently RX built right into our $60 DAW. Extraordinary.
hey, what do you mean RX?
Yo because of that tutorial this song is in my head « I’m a horse running wild » 🤣🤣 🐎
hahahaha this cracked me up
Your style is super concise and straight to the point. Awesome tutorials.
But the worst speaking manner ever. I always feel he thinks I'm an idiot xd
Your channel is a gift from the heavens
In case anyone's wondering how to delete the blue tuning bars, just click on them and push backspace. Only took me half an hour to figure out :0
Thanks dude, this was exactly the information I was looking for in the comments! I only spent 15 minutes trying to find this function with no luck.

Same man. I’m trying to be a one man band in the mean time.
Thank you for bringing these videos that help us. You are my go to guy for Reaper tutorials.
Hell yeah, I've just been using this plugin to tune my guitar and bass when I record, never even noticed the tabs. Thanks man.
I can’t get reatune to recognize the bottom 2 strings on my bass...is there a trick I’m missing?
@@ashemorgan1638 hopefully you already figured it out by now. I often use 12th fret harmonics to tune the lowest strings on my bass. If the intonation is set properly this should be accurate. Some tuners can't recognize the lowest frequencies, especially if you go for anything below E standard.

What an amazing tool! And your videos keep making a better sound engineer every time I watch 'em. Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you!! I had no idea ReaTune could do this. You are the best!
Fucking Kenny Gioia... without him, we wouldn't know Reaper the way we do. Thank you, man
Kenny, you are a prince among men, sir! Absolute lifesaver with these tutorials. Many thanks!!
It seems like Kenny developed all Reaper.
I love your tutorials, they helped me a lot!
Thanks Kenny for a superb overview of this wonderful tool. Just tested it today.
What a great video. You demonstrated the capabilities and how we can use them really clearly and concisely. This will help me a ton, appreciate it!
You doing good man... This is what ave been struggling... BIG UP!!!!
This video saved me some money. I was seriously thinking about buying Melodyne, but I don't think I need it anymore. Thanks!
great helpful video, much love Kenny and to all my other Reaper users!!
Wow. Regardless it's just stock plugin but it works perfectly. Thank kenny!
Melodyne might be a beast but PI is FREE!!!!! which makes it beastier,HAHAHA
I had no idea pitch correction was a plugin in reaper! Thanks a bunch Kenny!
Damn Im just a guitarist tryin to do metal guitar, vocals and drums (with EZDrummer 2) and I feel screwed! SO much to learn but Im gonna keep going!

@RAK They dont know they are a horse though. They dont have the capacity to understand the differences.
It's incredible that Reaper comes with this sort of Autotune + Melodyne plugin.
Kenny Goia should be given honor he deserve for putting these contents together for free.
Great feature, great lesson. Thank you Kenny
thanks for these tutorials! they really make a difference for lots of people.
These tutorials are absolutley amazing. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Your videos are saving me so much time, man! Thank you so much!!
Maybe not as many features as Melodyne, but this thing is pure gold. I don't think I need to use anything else to tune vocals.
heavymetalmixer91 what can melodyne do that this can't?
It's just that I don't think I need more features than what Reatune has. at least not for now.
I think the fancy versions of Melodyne have polyphonic pitch tracking. So, for example, if you have an acoustic guitar performance with one string out of tune you could in theory just tune that one string in the plugin.

thanks man!! retracking an old live album and trying to sing it. it's just day 1 i'm pretty out of practice vocally haha.
I prefer this to Melodyne - much more simpler!
No
nut this is stock plugin - whole reaper is cheaper than melodyne XD
Bartłomiej Kądziela yeeesss haha.. a full reaper just for $60, and melodyne essential is a little bit expensive for $99
I prefer Melodyne. Best $ I've ever spent. I guess it's just preference.
@@craftah yup

Another great tutorial, very simple and useful. I didn't realize Reaper had that plugin. Thanks!
Ive learnt so much from you; Its like I took a full on course. My tax return is going towards Reaper.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!! I’m so new to making music and ur literally saving my ass
Amazing as usual Kenny. Thanks 😀
Love is definitely "sharp"

Great video! Very well explained and very helpful. Thanks for making it!
Thank you very much sir! For this tutorial and all the others.
This needs to go on every vocal track, always. So powerful!
Not sure why I've never used this on vocals, have used it on guitar and violin several times with mixed results.
That said, you save yourself a lot of time by just getting a good take.
this will totally help when my kids sing over a song or a cover :)
Really good, my man!

The correction seems pretty gentle. It's like included Melodine!
So much easier to handle than many out there that are so expensive and complicated
