On the contrary, uaing Melodyne has taught me in linear form, where I'm flat/sharp etc, huge help to improve my vocals in a way that just makes sense.
That’s a really great point! Tuning my own voice and understanding things like transitions and where I land, and vibrato, has also helped me with my singing as well
That was the best Melodyne Tutorial I have seen so far AND I'VE SEEN A LOT! Instant follow! Can't wait to learn a lot more from you, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you so much! I so appreciate you watching and sharing this positive feedback 🙏🏻
SAME!!!! So concise yet well explained.
The best explanation and analogies!
Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
Congrats Mike, I had no idea you were doing this! Keep it up! :)
Thanks Dom!!
Melodyne is one of a kind. Really. I've been using it for over 10 years now and, to our fortune, it's just been becoming better and better with each subsequent version.
It really is! And I absolutely agree. Just keeps getting better - more features, better sounding.
This is the greatest Melodyne tutorial on RUclips. You're a lifesaver
Thanks Nathan! Appreciate you watching. And thanks for the positive feedback!
The best tutorial I've seen on melodyne.Educational even for an experienced user💯💯.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 Happy you enjoyed it!
seriously thought you had over 20k subscribers. but damn wasn't expecting 276 subscriber only. keep it up man
Thanks so much - that’s a huge compliment!
Before Melodyne, you had to take several takes of which you picked phrasing of each word out of.. choppped it all up, found the best take in terms of rhythm and aligned your cuts to that... At that point you started to run things through Auto-tune. Melodyne has eased a lot of those steps and allowed you to do less take chopping, saving you time and your performer's voice. Great stuff.
Absolutely! Also let’s you pick takes based on emotion and performance that might be slightly out of tune knowing you can fix that with Melodyne!
Yo I can tell you went to college. I gotta get in the studio
Comment of the year!
891 subs? Bro I was expecting at least a 300k. You are a phenomenal teacher! Loved it! Subbed!
Thank you so much! We’re getting there 🙏🏻 Appreciate you watching and thank you for the positive feedback!!
Darn your singing is already darn good! In Ableton you also have to do the play-transfer process... grrrr!
Thank you! That’s so nice of you to say. Pro tools recently got an update that brought instant transfers to melodyne - not sure about Ableton though!
This video was fantastic, the only thing I could suggest was that I wish you had hit play more often, if that makes sense! Everything was explained and shown perfectly, but there were many moments where you explained something, showed how to do it and why, but then moved on to the next part; I was hoping to hear what each note/section sounded like before and after the tuning.
Hope to see more of this, definitely subscribing!
Really appreciate the positive and constructive feedback! Will definitely take that into consideration for the next one! Thanks for watching :)
I checked - everything is clean
Yo this was a life saver. I went to a recording school and learned melodyne there but honestly they didn’t explain it very well and ever since I’ve been so confused still. Watching this literally not even taking 10 minutes, I finally understand melodyne exactly how I wanted to. The way you explained things legit just clicked so easy for me. Thank you!!!
Thanks for such positive feedback Jason! Really appreciate you watching and happy it was helpful! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see covered in a future video - I’m always looking for more video ideas.
@@MichaelWuerth if you know how to mix and master most definitely would be amazing videos to make!!! Keep the grind up man
you are a really good teacher man! I'm going through an engineering nightmare and it affects my mind frame in the moment when i create. You are really showing me I have a much better chance at making the music I hear in my head. Thank you!
That is such a compliment. Thank you! Im happy to help!
Great teaching skill; telling you as a teacher. You are a natural. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Great video! 😎👍
I bought Melodyne studio 4 in 2016 to help me with my own voice, mainly tightening up my vocal stacks. Gradually I got hooked on it. Now I’m using it for a lot of things. Getting rid of unwanted noises, editing anything audio, from basses, strings, winds, guitars and of course vocals- not only for note editing but for rhythm, reducing sibilants, evening out dynamics, swapping notes, phrases, you name it. It sped up my work flow immensely. I use it almost everyday! Great plugin’
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching ☺️. It’s such a great tool! You mentioned some great use cases I hadn’t thought of like reducing sibilants. Great idea - I’ll have to try that! Love using melodyne for timing and rhythm too.
For sure this is the best tut for melodyne i have watched
Thank you!!
This was EXCELLENT! So much gold wisdom packed in one video. I could have watched hours of this. Thank you sharing those lil much needed pro tips. And also, Harry is a kick-ass singer. I'm sure he never needs much tuning. :)
Thank you so much for such positive feedback! As a new channel this means so much. Happy you enjoyed it!
Harry's a great singer, but I bet we'd all be surprised to see how much tuning they actually do on his vocal.
best video about melodyne on the internet...congrats man
Thank you SO much!
One of the best videos on RUclips
I so appreciate that 🙏🏻

Fantastic tutorial, thank you.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and the positive feedback 🙌🏼
Just the video I was looking for! Thank you for sharing a more in depth precise tutorial on Melodyne, while making an enjoyable easy to follow video.
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
Great stuff, the actor-singer analogy is a bit of a reach because an actor’s occupation is literally to pretend to be something they’re not; otherwise they’re literally not acting. For vocalists it’s the complete opposite, their occupation is to be themselves in the rawest form-their voice. They’re expected to be authentically them, displaying their true capability as a vocalist. If THEY are acting then they’re failing at their job.
In short, an actor is SUPPOSED to fake, a vocalist is not.
I’m not against vocal tuning btw, I use auto-tune & melodyne to clean stuff up, just felt the need to expound on that comparison.
I appreciate your respectful point of view, and good point! I think for me it just comes down to the medium of a recording vs a live performance.
Really good video tutorial. I am long time guitar player new to recording in a DAW, Studio one.
Thanks for watching, Dean! I appreciate the kind words. I hear great things about studio one - stick with it!
Tremendous video! Best one on Melodyne I have seen. Makes things much clearer for me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and for the positive feedback!

Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it
This was very well done. Thank you for presenting Melodyne in such an approachable way.
Thanks for watching and for giving such positive feedback!
Great video tutorial! Congrats, almost 1000 subscribers, you´ll be there soon.
Thank you so much!
@@MichaelWuerth You're welcome 😎👍🏼
Perfect video, thanks!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for a really very helpful video. The only thing that was missing is a brief explanation of the difference in features depending on the version of Melodyne that is being used. That said, thanks so much for taking the time to make this great introduction to this very useful tool!
Thank you for such helpful feedback! I’ll definitely take that into account when making future videos. Happy you enjoyed it!
AWESOME video!!! I watched to see if I could learn something new about Melodyne and I did! The technique you introduced about separating the sustain and the vibrato REEEALLY is gold to me! Thanks man!!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Happy you enjoyed the video! Let me know if there are any topics you’d like to see covered in a future video
this was awesome, thank you!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Are there any other topics you’d like to see covered in future videos?
Great tutorial man!
Thanks so much!!
click on the magnet, and from there you can adjust how the tracks snap onto the grid. if you want it to be each 1/4 of a bar, click "line"
Great tip!
Seems like a really quick and effective workflow, great video. Thank you
Thanks Ryan! Happy you found it helpful!
Thanks for doing that!!
Thanks for watching!!
REVELATION MOMENT FOR ME! 5:35 I always split the note where it it's 'waist' is - WRONG! It should be split half way down the dip line at the centre line of the blob. Thanks so much! This probably explains why I always struggle with these corrections and end up with wobbly gargling.
Amazing! Happy to help. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with - doesn’t have to be Melodyne related. This is a brand new channel and your feedback / future video ideas are always welcomed!
Best Video!!!! Thank You Very Much!!!! Subscribed …. Most Definitely

Thanks! Let me know if anything is still confusing or if you’d like to see any other topics covered!
Thank you! You have got new subscriber.
Thank YOU! appreciate you watching :)
The avengers analogy doesn’t hold up. We care about overly tuned vocals because singing is inherently human, whereas flying and super powers isn’t.
Good point!
great tutorial
Thank you!
So glad I found your channel. Excellent content. Thank you!
Thank you!! Any topics you’d like to see covered in future videos?
This video is exactly what I needed! Thanks brother! Great tutorial.

Great tutorial!
Thank you Colin! Appreciate you watching!
Vocal tuning is a part of sound design as well. So as long as you make great music and give credit where it’s do, I’m ok with it.
Love this. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!
Good work man. I appreciate the content.
Thanks so much!! I appreciate you watching.
Great video. My brother 👏🏾👏🏾. By far the best Melodyne Explanation I’ve found. Definitely my go to for vocal tunning.
If you don’t mind. Would you consider making a Video explaining in depth a combination of Melodyne and autotune
For example. Tune vocals with Melodyne and giving the final touch with autotune the combination of its settings ( Retune speed , Humanizer, ext. thank u 🙏🏾
I so appreciate that!! Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback. That’s a great idea for a video. Happy to add it to the queue!
GREAT AND REALLY HELPFUL VIDEO MICHAEL - THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE. I HAVE JUST SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL AND SIGNED UP TO CURIOSITY STREAM AS YOU RECOMMEND - THANKS FOR THE LINK !
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO CREATING BETTER VOCAL TRACKS NOW VIA MELODYNE THANKS TO YOUR TUTORIAL !
BEST REGARDS . . . EDDIE. A UK MUSICIAN.
Thanks for the great feedback Eddie! I appreciate you checking out my channel and thanks for watching!
Hi Michael. Love your channel! Very professional! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!!
Great vid!! What's the shortcut key to zoom in and zoom out
Thanks! I’m not sure the original shortcut- I reprogrammed mine to be the same as pro tools. If you go to keyboard shortcuts preferences it should be listed there!
omg my tooth hurts so bad I can't focus. This video for another day.
Oof I have been there many times my friend. Hope the tooth feels better!!
@@MichaelWuerth Okay... Tooth now healed. Ready to master this thing! Thanks for uploading this video man.
Im so happy to hear your feeling better! Hope you enjoy the video :)
super frustrating being shown visually what these tools are doing without *hearing* before/after audio!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll try to incorporate more before and after in future vids!!
Which version are you using
Lets say I have a note I sang a little bit off beat, How Can I adjust the note from left to right without it snapping to the grid?
Absolutely! I forgot off the top of my head but I believe if you hold one of the modifier keys like command, option, or control, you can adjust timing and suspend grid locking.
thanks for the video sir, helpful.the name of the song you used in this video plz ?
This is Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles
Bro why the fuck you only got 500 subscribers? Youre underrated man
I really appreciate that bro! I’ve been super busy in the studio and way overdue to make more videos but they’re coming!
I have Melodyne Studio 5 and followed your steps, but they do not work for me. I can copy but not paste. Can someone lend a hand and tell me what I am overlooking? I select, say, a blob -> Edit -> Copy -> click where I want to paste it -> Edit -> Paste. I think that the paste overwrites the original blob as it turns red. Nothing gets pasted where I attempted to paste.
I share your frustration. Copy and pasting within Melodyne has never gone smooth for me either. I’d make the copy in your DAW instead.
@@MichaelWuerth Thanks for responding. I think I solved the problem. Cut & Copy work in the context menu, but a right-click -> Paste fails. So it appears to be a bug. The hotkeys "Ctrl+V" work.
Should you ever apply ight auto tune before melodyning?
Actually, I’d do the opposite and apply Autotune after Melodyne.
My melodyne is analyzing all my audio under 1 key and it’s not showing me any notes it’s being played at. It’s locked in chromatic and doesn’t show me they notes being played
Have you tried switching to a different tuning algorithm? Sometimes that can reset it if it’s being weird.
@@MichaelWuerth I’ll do that right now
Hey! Can waves tune achieve a natural pitch correction?
You can! Takes a little more time but it’s not impossible. The less altering to the pitch drift the better. Try and keep the movement, but center it across the note.
Do one for studio one
I’m having problems with this lately, since I’m not a great singer when I snap my vocals into the right key they sound really bad even though they’re “tuned and in key”. How do I fix this so my vocals can sound natural while being on the right key?
You may need to go in manually and separate the notes into smaller pieces before snapping all to the pitch grid.
Also be sure not to over use the pitch modulation tool. You want to keep the natural movement of your voice but centered over the correct note.
Seriously. I have watched a ton of melodyne videos. Non like this one. Great job!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate you watching and the positive feedback :)
Hey Michael! I stumbled across your channel after painstakingly scavenging around for videos to help me choose between Autotune and Melodyne, and I just wanted to say, your videos have been the most helpful, hands down. Great job! It looks like both have their quirks -- Melodyne for more fine tuning, and Autotune for more of that "quick-and-dirty" application, and it seems like a lot of folks like fine tuning vocals on Melodyne first before adding some of that Autotune "flavor" after. Have you done this at all? If so, do you find that the vocal gets "over-digitized"/ overworked in the process? My minds telling me that I should be happy with just Melodyne, and I'm worried the vocal might lose its "natural-ness" if it goes through Autotune after, even with adjusted tuning speeds and what not to lessen the intensity...
Hey Bonny! Thanks so much for checking out my videos and giving such positive feedback! You're definitely right to assume Melodyne is better for fine tuning, and Autotune - that "quick and dirty flavor". I absolutely use both in the way that you described all of the time - Melodyne first, and then Autotune after. You shouldn't find that it gets overly digital unless you've had to do some major tweaks in Melodyne, so, it sort of depends on the vocalist. Subtle tweaks and then a touch of Autotune should give you "vibe" without being "over-digitized"
@@MichaelWuerth gotcha. I'm considering getting one of the less expensive versions of Autotune just enough for that extra "flavor," maybe the EFX+ for the extra fun and cool presets -- speaking of which, would you plan on doing a review/walkthrough of the Antares series? Thanks for the reply! You've earned a subscriber!
There’s a lot of cool Antares stuff that unfortunately I don’t own yet. I could demo a few and do some reviews and walkthroughs though!
Great video. This is probably a very simple answer, but I can't find how to solo the track I'm working on in melodyne without muting all the others in my DAW (Studio One) Can't be that difficult.
Thanks for watching! If you double click the top timeline in Melodyne it’ll play from within the plug-in, soloing the track you’re working on.
@@MichaelWuerth thanks! I knew it must be possible!
