In Melodyne there is actually a setting underneath 'Options' and 'Note Editor' that is listed as 'Show Sibilants'; if you uncheck this then you no longer will have to manually cut out all of those unnecessary S sounds. (:
Finally someone that doesn't overtune and recognizes when it starts to get overcooked and weird sounding. Thanks for the tips on natural sounding tuning!
Just impulse purchased Melodyne and couldn't even figure out how transfer the notes into it. Saw Gareth Emery use it in his Masterclass and I was sold. Great video. Opening up your vocal course now, thanks for that!
That was by far the best tutorial I've seen on Melodyne, you made it really easy to understand because you actually explained everything that most people just gloss over. Thanks mate!
Glad it helped, Jacob! Thanks for watching - let me know if there's anything else with Melodyne you want to know and I'll try to put something together and upload it :)
The consonant/vowel separation was a great thing to explain - I did not know that. I can see where it will be a big help. It's a great video that would have eliminated about a year of me learning it by myself! I still have problems with possibly using the formant when I create harmonies that are far away from the original track. Perhaps the vowel/consonant thing will help that. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Great tutorial! Only other thing would have been nice would have been to hear the before and after played right after each other at the end to hear the difference side by side
Very clear, and rather well done,, tutorial on Melodyne 5. The accolades following my comment are well deserved. I wanted to add one point which I felt In My Opinion [IMO] was an omission, but worthwhile to include, even if belated, for those reading. IMO, Navigation, in both in Melodyne and one's DAW, I find easiest, when using a MackBook Pro's [MBP] internal Track Pad. For those without one, the Mac’s USB, external, Magic Track Pad [MTP], version 1 or 2 should suffice well. I don’t know if Mac's external MTB’s capabilities are as wonderful on a PC, as my studio is all Mac, so I can’t test it out, but anyone whom has some experience with it, please share the details. How closely it actually imitates the strength of a MBP’s internal trackpad, or the OEM add-on, fully and properly installed & setup. As to making the choice of 1 or 2 is subjective, but I will say the extra real estate on the MTP’s surface will always be an advantage and afford you greater detail in use. It is around double the price for that for that privilege, so you need to weigh it all out to find the appropriate one for you. Its software settings come all set up for you, but you can modify it so it is more sensible & comfortable for you, if you wish. Best of luck to you!
WHY DID MINE HAVE SOME OF THESE SAME TOOLS BUT NOW THEY DON’T. I DID A WHOLE SONG WITH THE WAY THIS VERSION WORKS AND NOW I DON’T HAVE HALF THE TOOLS I HAD PREVIOUSLY
I play guitar for like 14 years now, and I have good ear, but I CAN'T sing AT ALL. Using this plugin is a great way to entertain myself, lol. Thanks for vid :D
Just a little addon. I usually have the singer sing the lead 2 or 3 times. The effect is fat without the processed sound. Pan them around. Melodyne is deffinately my go to vox tuning plugin.
Tell me if I have this correct. If I am singing to a backing track, I need to have a clear track that is only my vocal, play around with it using this software, then I bring it back together with the backing track, make sure they are synced, and that is how I achieve a pitch corrected vocal with music. Is that correct?
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I have a weird issue where I can double click on the note and it'll move but I can't manually move notes, they automatically snap back. Not sure what to do. Any thoughts for me? TIA
Hey Rohan! Glad the video helped! Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about Melodyne and I can probably make a video walking through it! Thanks for watching!
question: let’s say i tuned a lead vocal in melodyne and then i exported the midi of that tuned track. could i apply that midi to an identical vocal track or maybe a vocal that was an octave higher or lower, so that it’s tuned to the same notes, the midi being sort of like a guide? it would save tons of time tuning each individual vocal track
Hey Andy, great video thanks! How do I get melodyne to change tempo along with my daw within my song? When I change tempo in my daw melodyne stays the same and won’t let me adjust it. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Hi Andy, I have Melodyne question for you. Sometimes when Melodyne corrects a pitch the result ends up i what I can only describe as a "Quack" sound, like a duck would make. How can you correct this. I've tried as many solutions as I can think of, but nothing seems to work.
Gordon Sinclair how far are you moving the pitch? Like is it a note or two? Or is it way off? The further you adjust, the more potential for it to sound strange. The second question is if you separated the consonant sounds from vowels. Consonant sounds will have a way higher chance of sounding weird when you change the pitch
You can paste the melodyne onto the first pass of the chorus and then just copy and paste the tuned vocal into the repeated section. I do that often and just save deactivate the old pass and use it as a guide.
Yep - What Chris Park said. If the chorus is exactly the same, I'll sometimes copy and paste all of the chorus parts into different 'playlists' and then comp one chorus from like 9 total takes technically (I usually record 3 vocal passes and I'm assuming there are usually 3 chorus parts). Then I'll tune the chorus once and paste it throughout the song. 9 takes can be overkill, but you get the idea I hope!
This may be the VERY BEST tutorial I have found so far for Melodyne!!! Please HELP!!!... I need help understanding the definitional/definitive differences and use differences for tempo: 1.)What the difference is before Tempo Assign & Tempo Edit (isn't editing something, assigning it a new definition)... I don't get it. 2.) How do we properly USE the Tempo Edit & Tempo Assign tools? I am using Melodyne Studio 5
i have no harmonic mixing skills but i do know how to dj and remix. this has been helpful, trying to mix 2pac's white man's world chores singer to another beat with out it sounding out of key. i'm still struggling. any suggestions?
Thank You for breaking this down. I don't work with this enough to have learned how to use it now I have a clearer understanding of it, but I am interested in setting up the audio to midi parameters. I know it can be done easily with the ver. 5. but I currently own 4.2.4 assistant and can't see paying the upgrade price right at this point. I realize with the assistant their are probably many more steps if it is possible. Do you do requests? LOL.
Day 2 on my quest to find how to scroll faster in this software, how do you guys do it? You can't be serious with the scroll bar or the scroll tool. In vari audio I just click the middle mouse button and drag, simple as that.
I need to tune vocals that are completely off the key of the original song lol it's for a school project and I did get to tune it to the right keys as the song but their voice sounds so high pitched LOL it doesn't sound like their voice anymore XD (and idk how to fix that lol)
Brandon Lipton Melodyne Studio would be perfect for you. You can stack a ton of vocal tracks on top of each other, time them all up perfectly to one another, and then tune them separately or all at once
I just got melodyne today and I just realised how many vocalists aren’t actually that good at singing in pitch. Seems to be more about getting the right tone and story told and all the other talented shit can be fixed in post (to a degree). Mind blown
Exactly it's always about character rather than pitch itself. A lot more people can tell their stories and express pretty incredible stuff because of this :)
Nope - you just have to have Melodyne on the track as in insert, then arm the 'transfer'button on Melodyne, then hit play and it brings the audio into Melodyne.
Ok thanks for the quick reply bro 💯 btw u can check out my music on RUclips under. Yung Nova - Blossom .... here is the link ruclips.net/video/mKHIJakPB7Y/видео.html
Very good question - Yes Logic's Flex Tune does do essentially the same thing and can give you amazing sounding results, however you can't get quite as detailed with tiny little changes. Melodyne does a better job at tracking the audio as well as manipulating it. If you have a pretty good singer and you track like 10 takes, you should be able to comp together a really good vocal track and be fine with just using Flex Tune. Melodyne is just a nice extra tool in that case.
Question: You showed us how to use the "transfer" button to get the vocals into Melodyne, but once you make the adjustments in the pop-up Melodyne VST window - How do you put the vocals back into your DAW?
If you're using Melodyne as a plugin on your vocal track, it will just play like normal. Once you're done tuning, you can just bounce your vocals to another track or bounce in place. Then you'll have a 'raw' tuned vocal track.
Dude that vocal course is legit a life saver ty so much!! ❤️❤️
Glad you found it useful!
@@PRODUCEMUSICNOW Does it still exist? Can't find it at the link
@@firingarrowsmusic same! I was just trying to take a look it seems the page was removed? :(

not in four
Is this valid?
Finally someone that doesn't overtune and recognizes when it starts to get overcooked and weird sounding. Thanks for the tips on natural sounding tuning!
Haha glad you liked the video, and I appreciate it!
Melodyne 5 finally recognizes sibilance and automatically prevents tuning it. It saves a LOT of time!
What I was gonna say
@@ayodejiakisanmi436 あよ데지 アき사ンみ
It’s so satisfying to watch the pitches be resolved into their correct spots.
Just impulse purchased Melodyne and couldn't even figure out how transfer the notes into it. Saw Gareth Emery use it in his Masterclass and I was sold. Great video. Opening up your vocal course now, thanks for that!
one of the best melodyne tutorials ive watched so far
For those trying to drag the blobs bigger it's ''option drag" on the slide bar at the bottom.
That was by far the best tutorial I've seen on Melodyne, you made it really easy to understand because you actually explained everything that most people just gloss over. Thanks mate!
Glad it helped, Jacob! Thanks for watching - let me know if there's anything else with Melodyne you want to know and I'll try to put something together and upload it :)
I second this, this is the first time I've understood the consonant thing!
@@elharrop Glad it helped out!
If i use melodyne and fix a vocal - do I have to print that audio track in order to keep the effects or can I loop it?

Thank you so much! Going to check out the course now - thank you
Great Job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your video got me up and running with Melodyne really fast.

very direct, straight forward tutorial. Thanks, man
Dude. Those vocals on track 1 are recorded SUPER hot. I hope you have 32-bit (float) recording lol

Thank you, also the tune is very nice!
great (informative tutorial. Many thanks!
Useful to know! How can you love the position cursor within melodyne without moving it in the track?
Love how you love. It’s all good.
I'm new to singing, do I need pro tools to use Melodyne?
No. You may use any DAW, and it can be used as a stand-alone program as well.
Logic has some good vocal tuning plugins. Flex Tune comes free in logic and is comparable to Melodyne. I'd go Logic as your DAW
Fl studio has newtone
The best tutorial on Melodyne I've ever seen! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Solid tut!
Thanks you’re a great teacher
Love the video!!! I guess the free course is no longer free. I clicked the link and got a 404 error
Great job. What version of Melodyne are you using?
Jb3 a/v Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the tutorial! This was Melodyne Studio.

Nailed it.
if im doing it on a chorus which repeats itself, how do i ensure melodyne repeats the same edit for each section ?
You can paste the melodyne onto the first pass of the chorus and then just copy and paste the tuned vocal into the repeated section. I do that often and just save deactivate the old pass and use it as a guide.
Yep - What Chris Park said.

Have any questions about using Melodyne? Ask your question in the comments! ALSO - What version of Melodyne are you using?

Yes - all of them ;D
Hi. I edit sound from kalimba. but melodyne change it to piano sound when I export..Do you have any idea why this happen? thanks!
This may be the VERY BEST tutorial I have found so far for Melodyne!!!
Please HELP!!!... I need help understanding the definitional/definitive differences and use differences for tempo:
1.)What the difference is before Tempo Assign & Tempo Edit (isn't editing something, assigning it a new definition)... I don't get it.
2.) How do we properly USE the Tempo Edit & Tempo Assign tools?
I am using Melodyne Studio 5
Do you go more in depth with melodyne in your course?
So in melodyne 5 even after it detects the consonants and sibilance still we need to cut them and only tune the vowels right?
Excellent tutorial. Quite helpful!
Thanks mate, it helped me a lot
Great vid, thanks man 👌🏼
I understood the video, its great, but why use a near perfect vocal as a demonstration?

You are not correcting. It is necessary to correct the bent part by cutting it. By over-condensing with Modulation Toll, the sound is robotized.

great and on point. thx!
