Dave - I will echo one of the other commenters: this is probably one of the most well-done tuts I've ever seen! You not only methodically explain the function of each plug-in control, but you also provide a musical explanation of the how and why. Superb!
Waves Tune Real-Time is really really good.. I don't get why Autotune has such strong position in this segment. Antares has SOOO many glitches with their license management, every month something breaks and you need to waste an hour managing your licenses with Autotune -it's really awful. With Waves, it works smooth. It sounds really good. It's easy to use. Some people hate Waves .. haha.. .but I have to say it's quality software without bloat. Thank you for this great tool!
Great Plug-in for Hip Hop Vocals. I also have Waves Tune, but real time waves tune has a way clearer sound in less amount of work. Its a great step forward for a fair price.
Mahalo from Maui Dave and Mike. (and your feelings...) One of the clearest and most relaxed tutorials I have ever enjoyed watching. You sold me! I'm headin' over to Waves and jump on some vocal surfin'!!
To be honest, I mean I've got clients that go off pitch but nothing as bad as this guy :/ :O the fact that this can somewhat sound half natural is a miracle. This dude hit literally nothing in terms of the notes. Honestly, the smartest way to use wave plugins to pitch correct is to pitch correct the notes you really need to with the graph of the original waves tune, but really focus on fine tuning It, if you know how you can really do amazing things with the graph of waves tune, and then run it straight into this plugin after that to clean up and bring the polish of that autotuned sound without getting any distortion in the pitch. Same thing as going melodyne into autotune basically, a very common thing that they do at the higher levels of the industry.
Call me crazy, but I like the simplicity of the plugins that come with Logic Pro X. Its pitch correction tool works on the fly like this one, and Flex Pitch allows you to manually tune individual notes, complete with vibrato, formant shift, etc. No robotic sound whatsoever. It's quite natural! Best part is, it's all free!
@@scottw2916 no logic has a real time pitch correction plug as well, but its limited and definitely causes artifacts. Obviously a standalone plugin built for a specific purpose is going to give better results than a bonus feature of a daw. Still, technology is pretty awesome and were blessed to have so many tools at our fingertips..
Would like to see that too but I think as with other auto-tune software it's for correcting minor pitch variations. It's not for creating miracles ;) Would definitely be interesting though.
if you use the midi input, you can play the exact notes on a midi keyboard, and it will tune your voice to that note. so even if you're completely tone deaf, you can draw in the exact notes and be perfect
Hi Dave, I'm using Waves Tune Real Time in abelton live. I've automated the scale root but it keeps randomly disabling automation. I've tried correcting this but it keeps turning off during my live set. Any tips for me?
I don't think the algorithm would support such major transitions... I'd highly recommend multiple instances of the plugin punching in and out whenever needed....
@@yorickstrangefield2976 Agreed, those are those are modes based on the major scale. I’m talking about some crazy trippy stuff that you find up in the mountains in Crete... ancient stuff with 1/4 tones and stuff !!!! Woohooo
Can someone tell me how to use this plugin with MIDI KEYBOARD? it just not work if i only have a audio track. but even i got a audio track and midi track but still not work. cuz i cant fine a enable MIDI input in this plugin? or what keyword should i google to fix it? thank you!
@@paavoilves5416 I get a kick of people who rag on auto-tune or any other pitch correction software. Yea, some people go overboard with it, but if someone is going to claim that using pitch correction software is "cheating" or "making a bad singer sound good" as if it's somehow immoral, then what do they think about eq, compression, saturation, delay, reverb, etc etc? All of those plugins do the exact same thing. Which is make the vocal sound BETTER than it did without any of it. Quite hypocritical for someone to rag on one plugin, then give a free pass to many others that manipulate the voice in other ways, albeit in different ways, but they're all tools designed to get the best out of a recording. I say, use what you need to get to the desired result. The folks listening to and buying the music couldn't care less.
@@xXSteve1021Xx it’s probably sitting in C:\program Files (x86)\Waves\WaveShells V12. Move the .dll file to your designated plugin folder. It’s probably called WaveShell2-VST 12.0_x64.dll. My destination folder is C:\users\My Name\Documents\Plugins\VST. Now my DAW loads it. It’s kind of weird but that’s their system. I have to do this eve try time I purchase new plugins from Waves. Once you do it it’s all good.
@@valenfarous3150 Find where your vst plugins (where your DAW points to them) and they will load if you have the DAW automatically look for plugins on start up or tell it to.
Attizzoso Dissaldato thats is not really true. cause for one is your computers cpu, which consists of transistors, a circuit, but also do does the written programcode emulate a circuit. it would be like saying there are no circuits in analog gear either cause its all just atoms in a specific order.
Idk. As a singer, I thrive to achieve excellence and practice rigorously my scales and songs on a daily basis in order to sing on pitch consistently. The satisfaction that comes from singing well and not using any auto tune is far greater than the feeling of not being able to sing on pitch and having to depend on some software all the time. Just work on your scales, commit to the time and effort it takes to get good. Don't create the habit of thinking that your mistakes are ok and the software will correct them. Otherwise, what's the point of learning how to sing? Does a piano man has a hardware installed in his piano that impides a wrong key to be hit when he messes up? It should be the same with the voice. Excellence is something you achieve with hard work and long hours of practice. Where I can see the benefit of these plug-ins is in veryfing that you are hitting the right note, and correcting yourself, over and over again till you sing it right. Even then, I would try to train the ear as fast as I can so to ditch the plugin sometime in the future and be dependent only in my ear to hit every note right. That's, for me, real value of these plug-ins
Question about the routing he is doing: So I set the Output of the Clean Channel to lets say bus 1. On bus 1 I put WavesTune Realtime and Output it to (lets say) bus 2? And then Record Bus 2 and the clean Channel simultaneously, am I getting this right?
Bought this. Kind of felt the vocal really did not need much work. It is much harder to use when your vocal is more out of tune. I've noticed that it sounds pretty processed in those kind of situations.
Can this be used for something other than vocals...let's say a synth or pitch-bended or sound-mangled effect that may be slightly out of tune? Or can it only handle less complex sounds, etc?
For studio use is this a significant improvement over Waves Tune? It seemed to track and correct the vocal with less robotic qualities than my experience of Waves Tune despite similar settings in Speed and Note Transition etc.
Different tools for different use cases although both can provide a similar result. Waves Tune Real Time would be used when you require the tuning in real time, such as a singer needing tuning in real time. Waves Tune is more for when you have a pre existing recording that needs tuning, or when you need more control over the different settings. Main differences would be the latency.
they said "Zero or near-zero latency (depending on pitch)" most likely there is a small delay in the youtube video no "treated tracks", it's a Live plugin too :) www.waves.com/support/tech-specs/plugin-latency
i like your tutorial .. can you help me out how to fix mic latency .. i tried with asio4all nothing good hapend even worse. so i god some soundcard in pc and scarlet 2i2 but i cant record cuz theres a lot od latency
i wouldn't make tutorials that are 18min long. people just wanna know how easy it is to process vocals in comparison to autotune and how nice it sounds. that would take around up to 5min to show and explain
@@ev25zv hehe. that's interesting. i didn't get ADD medication yet 4 years ago. now looking back to this i can say: yeah it really helps to have those when it comes to watching long tutorials. but more importantly i realized that tutorials sometimes have to be that long in order to be good, cause otherwise you can't really do the plugins justice. But when it comes to this video in particular I think it is definitely valid to say that this dude just talked for wayyyyy too long. That was probably my issue back then as well. I probably came here to inform myself about the sound of the plugin and was greeted by a talk. For example he shows the formant knob and I think to myself "Ok, cool. Now show me how it sounds! Play something back!" but then he just talks about the other parameters first as if my mind wasn't fixated on that formant knob now.
I have a real time pitch correction in Cubase. Similar options (formants, scales, transition speed etc.). Is this really better? $100 better? Could somebody make comparisons with other pitch correction software? Thanks
Absolutely better! Waves Tune already sounded considerably better than autotune, and I always found it sounded better quicker than Melodyne (although Melodyne users are particularly defensive about it!). The pitch correction in Cubase isn't bad but this will sound considerably better. Def worth $99!!
I always trust a sound engineer with long hair.
LMAO
Long hair are the base for peak sounds. Anywhere on the Earth.
