Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement and support. I’m so happy you found the video helpful and my presentation effective. Truly appreciated 🙏🏾
You are one of the few people that regularly have Logic Pro tutorials. I feel like changing to Ableton because there is just more support. Thanks for the video.
One of the unique features that comes with Ableton Live is the wealth of guidance and support information provided to help you navigate the application. The Ableton community is also very large and active so it makes sense to look in that direction if a strong support network is what you’re looking for 💯
I use both and I think the Manual for Logic is a lot better than the one for Ableton. More likely to answer my esoteric deep-dive questions than Ableton's
Thank for taking the time to create this informative video. I'm 66 and a musician of 50+ years. I use a Korg PA4x mainly as a multi-part, chord smart sequencer to drive more refined instruments in my DAW. Korg does an outstanding job of creating MIDI based styles from high quality audio. High quality being the operative word. Garbage in always equals garbage out. I've been fighting bone marrow cancer so music is the only thing I hav left to take my mind off such. By using my vast library of plugins and a Kurzweil K2700 for instrumental sounds are far better than those of the PA4x makes for high quality music. Since 99% of what I do is live only, the MIDI and Chord Detection offered by the PA4x is unchallenged in the world of arranger keyboards. And when you use it as a multi-channel, chord smart sequencer to drive both plugins in Ableton Live and Samples/Patches on my Kurzweil K2700 the end result is quite impressive in my opinion. Once again, thanks for taking the time, Bill
What an amazing comment Bill. 😀 So lovely to have your input as an experienced musician and creative. I’ve never used the korg unit you’ve mentioned but I’m very interested in checking it out. I too have come from a live music background primarily in the 80s and 90s. I still have my DX7, Juno 106 and Korg M1 to name a few bits. They are all in storage now as my daily activities require a different set of tools but I’ll never sell. I made the huge mistake of letting go my K2500R 😫 Anyway I’m so happy that music is providing you a meaningful distraction from your medical challenges. I wish you every success on this journey sir. Thank you so much for sharing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@MTTC You're most welcome. We all come from different backgrounds and most have had different experiences. Next to my kids, seeing the introduction of MIDI in Atlanta at the Winter NAMM Show in the early 1980's sticks out in my mind. I saw, and even got to help, Stevie Wonder navigate a PPG Wave while sitting across from Herbie Hancock. Even though the instruments were impressive I couldn't get my mind off the potential that MIDI was going to bring to the music world. I was working on an Electrical Engineering degree at the time as well as managing a music store. Even though my brain could only conceptualize maybe 5% of MIDI's Potential, that 5% was enormous. And now it's the oldest, unchanged serial interface the electronics industry has ever developed. The original specs are still in place which is something that just doesn't happen in the electronics world over a 42 year span. The D in MIDI should have been an M for MIRACLE. The revival of the 80's and 90's analog synths is great, the AI is great, but I'm not sure any of it truly compares with MIDI as 42 years in the electronics world is literally timeless. Anyone reading this that disagrees merely needs to toss their MIDI cables in a drawer for a day and you'll see, hear and feel the impact. The same day we saw MIDI the 8 bit CMI Fairlight was introduced and treated with royalty. 5 years later it was an antique. My K2700 will most likely be my last new keyboard as I'm using it with my PA4x and mountain of plug-ins to achieve things I never dreamed possible. I've only got 2 hands and 2 feet so my teenage classical/theater organ training really helps out with my StudioLogic MP-117 Pedalboard. Yet another instrument where MIDI shines as it can easily be programmed for notes or PC's. I played around with SUNO V3 Last night for a few hours. It's quite impressive but regardless of how much it and it's counterparts are improved in the near term, there's only so much that can be pulled from random space. Creativity and talent will always win out in my opinion as a human had to put the sounds/phrases in for the AI to pull them out. To everyone that's afraid of AI just keep playing and eventually what you'll hear is something very similar to what you wrote. Music's randomness has been around since the beginning of music. AI merely made it faster so, for one, I'm not worried about it in the least. To be more clear I'm excited about it as we'll all be able to listen to a broader range of music than we ever could have imagined. Rock On!
I almost start processing on every track with Melodyne first. It can serve as a very strong multi-tool. That is, you can use it as an EQ, Compressor/Expander, Sound Designer, etc. Problem is, with all the power it has they need to make the interface way more user friendly and I'd bet more and more people would use it as a starting point. I love especially, how you can use it as a compressor/expander. It really helps you get your dynamics right, especially on bass - and, without artifacts. Thanks for the vid.
There is much more to Melodyne than covered in this video as I’m sure you are aware. I’ve hardly scratched the surface of this truly amazing production tool. Thanks for your great comment 😀
@@devsaini7367 Select any notes you want to compress and go to the note-leveling button/macro to lower the higher volume notes and/or raise the lower volume notes. No artifacts. Works great for bass guitars especially.
I have tried vocal audio to midi using Cubase, Logic, Ableton, the new free Neural plugin, and Melodyne Studio - some work better than others but all still need way to much clean up. It is faster to just play in the midi part.
@@MTTC I’m transcribing some improvised piano music that’s super complicated. I was considering trying the Logic Pro method as I already own it but seems melodyne has the far superior polyphonic pitch recognition algorithm. I’m using the trial period at the moment. Would be great to own it. The full version is incredibly expensive though at about $800US. I may be able to get away with using one of the cheaper versions. I’ll most likely never use it for pitch correction and editors it’s mainly designed for and I’m not running a commercial studio. I’m just a pro musician who wants to transcribe some piano for orchestra and hear it played. Lots of playing and experimenting to do with the app.
GREAT video! This helped me alot. Quick question.....I have a midi keyboard a Casio LK-II with great sounds on the keyboard I love. Is there a way to turn those sounds from that keyboard into midi keeping that original sound to a track???? Every plugin I use triggers to different sound. Thank you so much. I also subscribed!

🙈 I'm increasingly amazed at various RUclips tutorials about what kind of questions people can ask 😅 There's a concrete hint in this case here at ca. 11:08 min.
Seems you missed it sir. This feature is available on all Melodyne editions except for Essential which is the cheapest version. Try out Studio and see what the results are 👍🏾
All very good questions Christopher 👍🏾. Melodyne is the most accurate plugin I’ve found for converting Audio to MIDI by in particular when it comes to polyphonic audio. However this feature is just tiny part of the power of this incredible application. There is much more to it than that. As far as cost goes if you’re in the music production and sound recording business this it’s like a saw to a carpenter. Invaluable. Remember you only need to buy it once and this will recoup the investment in no time through the powerful time saving features it possesses. Why not do some more research on the application itself and try out Studio for 30 days. You have nothing to lose 💯
Well as long as you have the individual tracks , but if you just have the completed audio wav file and want the notes to the individual parts, that's a problem.
Yes you are right but in some cases Melodyne allows you to delve into a 2 track stereo mix audio file and correct specific notes for specific instruments. Only possible when using the premium version of the software.
Which version of melodyne are you using? App looks great but it’s pretty pricy. I don’t need to pitch correct audio. Just audio to midi. Got some sax and piano recordings I want to transcribe for orchestra.
Mate it's just one of those annoying expenses/investments that payoff 100 fold in the short to medium term in relation to time saved. Remember you only have to buy it once. I use the full Studio version. Cheers.
Thanks, excellent video. I tried your process in Logic and I got it, except for one problem. The piano part in my song has a empty intro of 30 seconds and then it starts. When I import the midi track back to the project , it crops the empty intro and the piano starts right way, só the song bacame out of sync. Any help is welcome. This problem did not occur when using Presonus Studio one. Thanks
Yes that is a silly bug in the software. Here’s the fix. Add a single quiet note at bar 1 of the region that you’re converting. Once you bring the midi back in you can delete that and everything will line up
I’m afraid that technology does not yet exist sir. If you had trackouts of a song then maybe you could get the majority converted to midi but not a 2 track stereo mix.
Logic is pretty trash at capturing converting polyphonic midi. Maybe a smart Apple engineer will peep this vid and make an offer proposition to get this feature fixed on an upcoming version of Logic!
Yes you’re absolutely right. Polyphonic capture is a myth in Logic Pro. And you’d think that being just about the most technically advanced company in the world Apple would have had this sorted by now. But as you said it would be a great selling point for maybe Logic 11 when that comes out. 💯
There are two words that really irritate me. ULTIMATE & FREE. Nothing is ultimate. Even if it's great, 5 minutes from now there will be something better. Free means without cost or obligation. If I have sing, dance, write an essay, or anything else in exchange for something else, its NOT FREE. An example. If you pay for Amazon Prime, it lists your "free movies". The subscription paid for them. A product that advertises free shipoing, it's not free, it's included in the price. Or they say you get a free book, just pay for the shipping. NONSENSE. The shipping & handling charge covers that, plus the cost of the book, and there is a profit made, no matter how small.

Great hack! Thanks for sharing! Will use this trick on my projects

Yes this hack really makes a difference and saves a ton of time and effort 😀
Thank you. I definitely need to test it
Oh yes it’s definitely worth checking out for sure 👍🏾
Thanx a lot for this hack....this indeed is a blessing for ppl like me who know what they want but are struck for not knowing keyboard.

Thanks Ian. Appreciated 👍🏾
Great video...thank you...Can you do the same coversion from a vocal part?
Absolutely. Any audio track with a recording of a melodic part will be analysed by the plugin and the notes will be converted to midi. 👍🏾
very necessary! thanks
Thanks as always for your positive feedback. Cheers 😀
Thanks for this! Would like to see you do this on a vocal - does not seem to work as easily
To be honest I’ve experienced the very best results with this on vocals. It’s almost as though this was targeted particularly at vocal correction 💯
This looks very useful
It really is 😀

Whabout free plugin or cheap like audimee ? How about a two track or. Suno ai track or splice? Breaking down audio instruments into separate midi ?
I hear you. SO far I have found Melodyne to be the most effective tool for doing this job

Also find most mono imports tend to speed up ? Is that something to do with logic ?
That’s interesting 🤔 I’ve not experienced that happening at all with my processing via Logic and Melodyne. 🤔
Is it good for vocals too?
Yes this can work on any sound/instrument that has a fairly strong pitch content. Definitely worth trying out. Experiment with the free trial 😀
Time consuming process in melodyne wishes could have a drag and drop application ❤️
Bought brilliant!! ❤
ARA is your friend ! Would love to see more on melodyne !!! ❤️🎸❤️
Yes a simple drag and drop solution would be great but it seems the technology has not reached there yet. At least we have Melodyne 😊
How can I reach out to you? Thanks
You can reach me on instagram @musictechtraining
How much is melodyne ?
Which version? The studio version is around $699 I believe, the essential is like $99
