" I dont know what im gonna sing for you, this is just edm d minor 2" 🔥 🔥 bars
I'm a metal vocalist, but I'm totally getting this. I love doing harmonies and this looks like a lot of fun. Fantastic video!
I am SO getting this! I'm just starting to get into vocals and this seems like a ton of fun!
This is a great tutorial on Waves Harmony! Thanks for sharing and very appreciate it so much. It will be in my arsenal soon!
This one looks really good! You make it look so easy )) Thank you, Sean!!
best mix teacher in the world!!
GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you Sean!
Thanks Sean!! always so much to learn from you
Thank you for these tips! This was really instructive and fun.
Thanks Eyota! Glad it was helpful
Bro you keep dropping the gems!!
This looks awesome, can't wait to try it out
Thank you Sean, got the plug in. But I’m the beginner so I need to start watching all your videos. Thank you
Nice Tutorial. I learned alot. Kudos my friend.
The greatest !! You've taught me so much bro!
This is fire! This is a plugin I have but haven't used it. It looks really fun. Great video fam! 💯
Great video as usual bro... KEEP GOING
Thanks for this.
I'm a metal singer who utilizes clean vocals alot... Getting this .. thanks man
Great job indeed.
Great video bro! Love the source material as well! Now I gotta play with this tomorrow!
Appreciate that! Have fun :)
man it looks really nice!
Great demonstration, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great stuff dude. Thanx for the info. Cool .
Great job explaining!
Excellent video Sean! Made me buy Waves Harmony! Hahahaha!!! Thanks and well done!
Nice job on this and thanks!👍
great video Sean, both visually and acoustically. In my opinion, this (and all other harmony effects?) is a special effect, not a substitute for real voices. But it suits many modern styles.
bro i use to rap on your beats like 10+ years ago and i just found ur page ...goated
Very goo€ overview and explanation!
Thanks for this. I got this the other day but have been struggling to figure out how to use it.
insanely sickk
Great!!
So Dope.
thank you very very very much, you help me a lot
Muchas gracias 🙏🙏
Nice video ---- I like the intro - articulate presentation - good production values
Thanks Thomas!
Also, I believe they should retroactively sponsor your video as while their ad piqued my interest, your video convinced me!
bro your cool. thanks very helpful. awesome track
so dope!
FINALLY!! 🙌🏾
Fire tutorial!
thanks!
I really like this plugin and would like a diagram of the track setups ? Reached out to Apple media team and they referred me to your video. Almost there ! Gonna keep watching. Thanks!
super i will buy it.
Cool plugin!!
Wanted to let you know, I love the last project u dropped!! Stay well, brotha! 😀
Appreciate it Andre! 🙏
Hi Sean
Thanks for this detailed video. It's very useful for me. I wonder if there any option to export the harmonized vocal into separate tracks. Thanks
I see you got some HEAT coming soon?? 👀👀 Thanks for review and awesome song samples you blessed us with! 🔥
Happy to help Key 🙏
Thanks! This is almost the only Waves Harmony tutorial that is well thought out! This was super useful! Have you explored more with this and have stuff for a second video? Would be cool. I'll check out your other videos!
Appreciate the feedback, I'll keep this in mind!
@@SeanDivine Hi I loved this tutorial if you don't mind could you share the project you were using in the video?
LMFAOOOOOO the intro is everythinggg 😂😂
This Plugin Is Fantastic I'm definitely Going to get it. R&B ole school is my thing. i've been listening to R&B through headphones for over 40 years. i need this for background Harmonies is there a way to cut down on the reverbers and delays and have the vocals mono left and right..?
That song tho! 🔥🔥🔥
good video
Thank you for you video Question: Using last option as external instrument how I can bounce the final harmony without lead voice I mean only harmony EFX thank you
You can turn down the Source level in the top right and then you'd also delete the "U" (unchanged) voice in the graph.
Sean Excellent video, I have a question. Are you still using Crashplan to backup your external drives? And if your answer is yes, do you have it downloaded on the Mac?
Thanks! Yes and yes :)
Hi Sean, great tutorial! I just got it a few days ago, tried it out, and got nowhere! This'll help! Can you do this on a solo instrument, or midi solo track?
Good question! I'm going to try it now 💡🙌
TY! I need help finding layers on my harmonies, what yous aid really touched home for me. But, i think im still not sure how to use the plugin to find my layers?
Please , make a waves silver bundle mixing and mastering video
Good video, don't you find that the auto-tune feature takes over giving an un-realistic sound? I think this in itself has become too popular. Subtle use would make it sound a bit more realistic. Thanks for the video 🙂
Hi Sean. I’ve enjoyed your video as usual. I have a big question? Is there a way that I can record my lead vocal or anybody else’s vocal lines and then go back and use waves harmonies as if I were playing the midi vocal lines but, not play the vocal lines. I noticed that you were playing through midi and singing your vocal lines. I wondering if I were by myself and no one was around could I use waves harmonies to produce the harmony parts without the singer or the musician being there in the room with me. Would you show on another video about this waves plug-in, what I am asking about, and show how it could be done please. Thank you in advance. As before I wish you continued success with all of you music videos and the rest of your music endeavors. I also wish you continued financial success as well. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks! You do need an input source for Harmony to generate from. As long as you have a lead or a vocal take to use, you can create harmonies manually without singing in real time. Hopefully that answers your question :)
hello , can you explain pls why there's no audio from WH when low latency button is activated in logic x? regards and thanks for your amazing videos...
did you find out?
OMG!!!! I spent 1 1/2 hrs trying to make this work until and watching tons of videos and reading the manual until I finally saw your comment!!! It's because It's an intensive processing plugin. so low latency turns off most of the effects that need heavy processing. I didn't realize I had my low latency mode still turned on. You didn't know it at the time, but your comment was a sanity saver, THANK YOU!!
Well done video!
It’s a bummer that it won’t load into my operating system (Mac) el capitano
Without major upgrades $$$
the song is fire sean
Hey Sean thanks for the demo. Are you using any vocal processing ? Cause I can hear delay reverb ect ?
Yep! It’s one of my Studio Rack chains.
thanks for your reply
hi guys! is this applicable for live performance?
thanks/ is there option for live' singing? to sing and play your kb harmony in the same time
is there a way to use a midi track to pre draw in midi to control waves harmony as opposed to playing it on a keyboard in real time?
Thank you very very much for this very good vidéo. I'll buy Waves Harmony through your channel for supporting you. May I ask a request to you?
Sure!
Thank you. I really like this video on Waves Harmony. I just bought yesterday the plugin through your channel. And I find it well done and helpful. I tried to download it on my computer in order to be able to see it out of TH-cam to avoïd to be disturb. But the format of the download is the one of Google and I can't read it. Does it possible to have a format which allow to have a copy easely to read with QuickTime ? Thank you.
Otherwise I would be happy if you can do another video on Waves Harmony. I really Love this plugin.
I tried this plugin (& vocal bender) but in a real mixing situation, the harmonies created are barely audible. I assign the 'lead vocal' on one mixer channel and a DT vocal (not a copy of lead vocal but a separate vocal take) on another channel. Then I use the waves harmony plugin on the DT track. Somehow, the harmonies are not clearly audible in the mix and they almost blend with the lead vocal. In this video and the waves demo videos, you can clearly hear the harmonies, but they are not using harmony vocals along with a 'lead vocal' -something that you do in a real mixing session. When you use harmonies along with a lead vocal track ( even if the harmonies are created with a DT track) -you can not hear the harmonies. That's the same issue with 'vocal bender' plugin. A major disappointment or am I missing something? ( I am using a DT vocal track for producing harmony and I'm processing the harmony channel with appropriate compression, saturation etc)
I m still wondering if this is necessary when one already has OVOX, hmmm. Ovox can use midi input too and create nice chorus.
This is going to have everybody making R&B lol🫡
😂😂😂 exactly
Lol
Hi Sean, thanks for the video. I just recently purchased Waves Harmony. I was unsure whether I should buy Waves Harmony or Vocal Bender. So, I decided to go with this one. You mentioned just think of Waves Harmony like having 8 vocal benders. Would you say that Waves Harmony can do "everything" that Vocal Bender does and plus more? I was thinking to buy Vocal Bender but if Waves Harmony does what it does, then I wouldn't to have 2 plugins that can serve the same purposes. What's your take on Waves Harmony in comparison to Vocal Bender as far as their compared features? Also, are those your songs that your playing? If so, wow they sound really nice. Thanks Sean
Yes. Harmony is essentially 8 "souped up" Vocal Bender engines in one with a lot of other features added. If you have Harmony, you can do everything Vocal Bender can do and a lot more. I still use Vocal Bender for simpler tasks, especially in larger sessions to keep things efficient... and yes they're my songs, thank you! 😊
@@SeanDivine thanks for your insight!!! Best wishes....
We need your hat!
hard
Hi Sean. How did you learn how to use this plug-in? Did you get instructions from the Waves company?
Experimentation and time! I did read the manual also :)
how to remove the original vocal when putin this on a send? aka turning it on wet only / only the harmonys?
Do you feel like this plugin makes vocal bender redundant? Would there still be a point to buying vocal bending, if you have waves harmony?
This is 8 vocal bender plugins in one with a lot more features, so technically no. Vocal Bender is very light on CPU and faster setup when you just need a simple pitch / formant adjustment.
Wil it create really clean harmonies??all the demos I see u get this distorted backup
3:03 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH😂
A brother quick question I'm wondering why does yours have that on button on Top and mind does not In the left hand corner
That's the plugin wrapper in Logic Pro. You won't see it if you're using a different DAW :)
Where can we pick up that Divine Mixing 🧢 ? 😯
Keep an eye on my IG account :)
Hi, How it works? With all music software or?
You should consider being an instructor great work Sean
🙏
Is there a way to make it with a guitar input to drive the harmony process? As some stomp pedals do, like Harmony Singer 2 or EH Voice Box.. but I want to do it in my mac :)
Yep! I have a short on Waves channel showing how to do it.
I can't seem to go live in Logic. I can only add effects to an existing audio track. Any ideas?
Im having a issue with this plug in I can't mind it in m->s my plug in is only found in stereo any suggestions?
I sang live to a track with waves harmony on it. Why is it not giving me harmonies. I have "Generate Notes engaged".
Can somebody help me and tell me what I am doing wrong, please. I just purchased Wave Harmony. I am using Calkwalk Daw. Ok, So I inserted one of my songs to Cakewalk. I opened up Waves Harmony, set the key, selected the generate notes button, and clicked play to hear all the harmonies. Sometimes I could hear harmonies when it played, but most of the time all I heard was a slight bit of harmony going in and out. They said this was easy. It's driving me crazy not knowing what is wrong. Thanks for any help
As always, you saved my day .. after a massive stroke a year ago I have been dependent on ways to be able to do things as a musician .. I just bought it - see you at the awards 😆 (UPDATE: Here's one I did it on: th-cam.com/video/GWzJrMJO8SE/w-d-xo.html )
Hello there, just got this plug-in can't get past the simplest thing how do you turn it off and how do you resize it..
Bypass it or select the bypass switch in your DAW if you have one. Resize is in all the Waves plugins by clicking the button with 3 bars in the top right corner :)
i have a question, lets say you wanna use waves tune on your main vocal, can i still ad waves harmoniezer after it? or will that be doing double auto tuning
Waves Harmony has it’s own pitch correction, so you’d want to turn that off
@@SeanDivine can I disable the pitch correction in Harmony
yes
Damn, more plug in like this please
Free
Very cool, and I got it the other night.I love it. But At 7:27 mins when You are showing the sequencer, You zipped through too fast.
Please show me what You did again or the steps. You lost me when You said loading M1 then went all over the map dragging & dropping. WFF? What just happened?
Thanks man. Cool music You make too by the way.
Oh sorry if it seemed a bit fast! This tutorial for Vocal Bender covers the mods / sequencer in more depth - th-cam.com/video/w9pRTtO0CBQ/w-d-xo.html
The confusion is with the different LFO's Let me kind of walk You though what I "thought" You meant.
LFO 1 You dragged into all the notes as well as the pan & Level??? But M2 was just for the FX of panning? Is that correct?
And then just do the mapping?
Also what was that about regarding raising up the sequenced sections cuts off the harmonies? Not quite sure I understood that either.
P.S. Thank You. (forgot to say that upfront.
You’ll be able to produce Tobymac hands down
How’s your vocal recordings so clean whilst recording aswell
It helps that I have some acoustic treatment and I use an analog channel strip.
@@SeanDivine which one you use channel strip
What's the latency? And cpu usage?
No latency. CPU can get high, if you're using lots of voices with many instances of the plugin.
Great design. Doesn't work for me live. Even with a fast low-latency laptop. Using it in sections in Presonus Studio One 5 Shows, it comes in late, pops coming in, or both. It's impossible to move the actuation forward on the timeline to anticipate the delay. I usually have 4-7 effects per chain, using 8-11 channels. But this plugin has a latency issue, even alone on the effects chain. Perhaps next rev.
I can see me using this for some vocal flavors, instead of using samples.
I wish the instrumental just stayed with the beginning intro throughout with 808s
How’s the CPU usage on this
No issues here thus far! Keeping in mind, if you get carried away with many instances in the same session it will add up quickly. It's like having 8 vocal bender plugins in 1.
@@SeanDivine can it do what Antares Harmony Engine can do?
@@ELLIOT8209 it can and more
Love the info! I knew it was a beast, but I did not use all of the features. Thanks for the Pan reminder!!😎👍
Wait... I don't need to play my keyboard to get harmony? You are just playing for backing right
I show 3 different ways to use it in the video. You don't have to use a midi keyboard unless you want to.
@@SeanDivine Thank you
I think it has a great gui and good usability, but it's no different from eventide octavox, which I really like, but it's not realistic at all. I believe that the examples in the various demonstration videos have a specific study behind them that make them work well (nothing in the videos is improvised now), but in reality it is good that you do your tests with the demo version
Fair enough! Just to clarify, with the exception of the song I was recording to, all my vocals were improvised :)
