I d have used the metronome while recording so the melody comes out in time without quantizing (or not too much at least). Great video, I've been using this technique since a long while and I've learnt some little nice tricks!
just gotta say that the beginning of this video was fantastic. i really love the voiceover of how you're thinking about what to do about the beat.......
Honestly never thought about singing my melody and extracting the midi. Normally just capture midi but this is far superior imo. My pitch is pretty decent so this could be beneficial. Appreciate this one, Becky 🙏🏾
@@BeckySaifMusic Right! The time i would've spent nudging notes and changing velocities can now dedicated elsewhere like sound design and mixing. Now I just gotta find the right volume in my DAW so the mic doesn't pick up the metronome bleed from my headphones lol Cheers Becky
@@BeckySaifMusic No. I think it’s just my mic’s sensitivity. I sing right into the mic, I’ll tune the vol down and take a step back. This’ll be a fun weekend.
I am looking forward for the finished track! I got a recording app on my phone because I forget the melody until i have switched on the pc (can't multitask with my brain). How important are the BPM settings when converting the audio into a melody? Could you also stretch/morph it with the Audio tools before converting to have some beats already on the grid?
Unfortunately this project did not make the final cut and is no longer in existence. Sometimes you just have to accept that what you made was just for educational purposes 🤣. Bpm can be adjusted pre or post conversion. I didn't use the metronome in this example and the melody was converted as sung. If you want to get it more in time to your project tempo I'd suggest recording with metronome. Good point and question. 😊 I've never tried stretching the audio. Warping it may work also, for timing.
If you're looking for a great Ableton teacher for 1:1 then I recommend you contact Becky. She is amazing! We've been working together for the past 3 months and I've seen such an improvement on my tracks.
I had that blazing hot weather in a few weeks ago. The best advice i can give you is to sit on the ground. I know it's silly but in desperate times, desperate measures.
Not sure how sitting on the ground for a youtube video would go down 🤣 in fairness, I should have probably not picked mid afternoon to film it. Just never expect it to be so hot in the UK, yet here we are. It's like Africa this year.
@@BeckySaifMusic I know what you mean. I live in Portugal and we had a crazy hot weather (above 42°C) for 2 weeks. It was impossible even to think turning the computer on.
@@joinslayer 2 weeks!! That's crazy. I've lived in Spain before and the buildings are designed for the heat - white walls, no carpets... but here we got thick grey walls and thick carpets. Horrible. If we'd have had 42+ for 2 weeks, it wouldn't have been pretty
Yes Becky ! Ive been studying music theory for months and find it so difficult to translate ideas from my head to my daw still, this has helped massively 👌🏻🙌🏻 ps.. the hair colour is 🔥
Your melody does not tend to F, but to C. F minor and C minor have nearly all their notes in common (except for the D, which is D natural in C minor and Db in F minor). Here, in your example, it is a C that our ear awaits to end the melody, not an F.
Great tutorial! I wonder how effective this feature is for acoustic instruments like a guitar. Would it have a meltdown if it encountered a chord? What about sound effects or other strange audio? I want to feed it all sorts of things to see what it does.
It absolutely would have a meltdown if there was a chord 🤣 convert to melody is looking for individual notes. I've tried this on instrument loops and it works really well... so long as its a melodic solo.
Yea, the edison stock audio recording plugin has a feature for that. Just search for "FL audio to midi" and you'll probably find a couple tutorials on it.
The melody doesn't have to end up exactly as sung. You could just leave it as is but I wanted to demonstrate other ways to switch things up so that people can take what they needed from the video and apply it to their own work. Not really here to make a number 1 melody for an educational video. 🤣
same thought here. wasn't impressed with any of the modifications (had hoped this video would do better than my experiments but of course there's a limit to non-AI systems). moving original blocks is a good tip, though.

Thank you so much for mentioning this. I've pinned the comment so that others can see your suggestion. Thanks for the sub too!
@@BeckySaifMusic 😊👍
You are awesome and charming and this tip was great! Thanks!
You're very welcome. Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. 😊
Great..Learned a lot.. Thanks ,Keep Posting more..
Kesto! Thank you 🙏 your comment is greatly appreciated and I'm so pleased you learned something from this video.
My favourite Abelton feauture so far🔥🔥🔥
Whats your second favourite? 😉
@@BeckySaifMusic Open sound control messaging, its crazy what you can do with this 😲
I'm excited to take the melody from my head and translate it into my door.
As a producer, what door are you using?
Oh badass, thats so annoying to have happen! Thanks for the tips :D
😅 haha you are very welcome
1:46 lol thanks idk why I never did this I always try to translate it to the piano and realize I’m completely tone def
It can always be fixed!
Melody of the year, you betcha 🔥🔥 🔥🔥
Ahahahaha you bet it is 🤣
🔥 🔥 🔥 epic melody 😄👌
Don't be copying it 🤣
just gotta say that the beginning of this video was fantastic. i really love the voiceover of how you're thinking about what to do about the beat.......
Thanks so much. It was a different idea for sure!
Thanks another great tutorial definitely having a go
💙👌👍🍻
Yeahhh!! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I didn't know that was possible with ableton. Must try it for basslines
😎

Yeah this is such a lifesaving technique and you instantly inject the human element into it too by having an array of note lengths and velocities.
@@BeckySaifMusic Right! The time i would've spent nudging notes and changing velocities can now dedicated elsewhere like sound design and mixing. Now I just gotta find the right volume in my DAW so the mic doesn't pick up the metronome bleed from my headphones lol Cheers Becky
@@KiDAppleBorg open back headphones?
@@BeckySaifMusic No. I think it’s just my mic’s sensitivity. I sing right into the mic, I’ll tune the vol down and take a step back. This’ll be a fun weekend.
aWESOME! I actually come across this problem but I didn't know you could do what you just did - Thanks!
Glad I could help!
That was awesome 🤯🔥🔥
🤟🤟
Super useful stuff, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That moving the group trick tho! Thanks much appreciated

Aww thanks. That makes you and my therapist so far.. 🤣
@@BeckySaifMusic I want to learn mixing to you. Do you teach me?
@@riponmallik5482 I teach yes. You can find my website in the video description.
Award winning melody right there 🔥🔥 fire emojis in chat for the greatest melody of all time 🤣
Da-da da da da da daaa-da, da-da da da daaa-da.🔥
boom-snap! banger!
Best work always truth fact

cool feature. is there possible in Logic X?
This is cool unfortunately I have ablive lite and it doesn't have the audio to midi conversion
You All Time Good❤❤❤

Wow! Does converting to MIDI work in FL Studio?
I don't know I'm afraid. I've never used FL. Maybe someone else knows?

Problem here is that the melody is nothing like what you originally sang and to be honest, it was better before you interfered with it.
The melody doesn't have to end up exactly as sung. You could just leave it as is but I wanted to demonstrate other ways to switch things up so that people can take what they needed from the video and apply it to their own work. Not really here to make a number 1 melody for an educational video. 🤣
