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!
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!
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!
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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!
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
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!
I want to work on an instrumental track that I didn't create... it's just the instrumental version of a song.. Is melodyne still able to recognize the notes? Or do I have to create my own music? 😊
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 TH-cam under. Yung Nova - Blossom .... here is the link th-cam.com/video/mKHIJakPB7Y/w-d-xo.html
I need help. When i record my vocals and use melodyne, sometimes I'm a half step off and if i try to drag the note to the correct pitch itll start to make the vocal like it was tuned and sound either too nasally and high pitched if dragged up, and too low and muffled if dragged down. Sometimes itll do that if halfway far from the note i need. I tried using formant but it only helps so much, and i tend to have a lot of vibrato when i sing so sometimes thats difficult to deal with. Do i just rerecord my vocals or is there something i can do? I dont really see anyone talk about this issue
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?
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.
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
How do you record your voice in this video? It sounds nice. Mine sounds terrible (as in the voice itself is bad, not the ambience noise) when record through built in PC mic or through earpiece mic. Any advice? Thanks
For the narration you mean? I'm speaking into a condenser microphone that plugs into my audio interface. All of my audio is coming out of the interface. I record the screen with a program called Screenflow and it's set to record the audio from my interface's main output.
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.
Hey StudioHustler How do I set A unique key too snap too before I transfer the midi into this program also instead of transferring can I import a wave or mp3
Thanks for this. The only thing I dont understand is, what do you achieve chopping the vocal? Is it because there a different note so that's why you keep chopping them? You basically started chopping notes up at the start without listening, so how can you tell where to chop and why?
Chopping the audio lets you move different parts of it to a different pitch. The thing is, you don't want to pitch the consonant sounds (Ts, Ss, Ps, Ds) and you only want to pitch the vowel sounds. The vowel sounds are the parts that have red lines on the audio blobs. You only want to pitch that part. If you pitch the consonant parts (no red line), then Melodyne can freak out and make things sound weird. So basically, you want to separate the consonant sounds and the vowel sounds. You can chop the audio without listening because you can visually see where there is and isn't a red line. Hope this helps!
@@PRODUCEMUSICNOW I noticed that the consonants when you chop them, they sometimes would move down automatically. Why does that happen and isn't the point of cutting them to not have them be pitched?
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

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!

@@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?
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
Fantastic tutorial! Nice song and vocal performance too.
I didn't know the orange line trick or the tune vowels only trick... thanks for sharing! -Dean
Dude. Those vocals on track 1 are recorded SUPER hot. I hope you have 32-bit (float) recording lol
Great Job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your video got me up and running with Melodyne really fast.

YOU SAFE MY LIFEEEEE!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE!!!
This video just saved me!
You have such a great voice to listen to!
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.

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.

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?
I understood the video, its great, but why use a near perfect vocal as a demonstration?
