Your info at 10:45 is gold. Those kind of parts are the whole art of creating harmonies. A whole video on making those decisions would be GREAT! There is no info like that out there at this time. If you listen to older harmonies like The Beatles or Eagles... many times they "stayed" on a note when the lead moves ...or the other way around. Also I find blues notes are a landmine for trying to harmonize. Thanks!
So helpful. I can't express how much I appreciate your shared knowledge, it puts us all on the playing field. Celemony Melodyne should including your vids in their learning series because I have learned more in four of your videos than all previous "teaching sessions" from the actual company. Real world, really good.
Excellent tutorial as usual! You really are a great instructor. Looking forward to future tutorials -- I'm always learning something new when I stop by your channel. Thanks again!
Great video Josh! This is another of quality content that you put out. Thanks it was very helpful.

I use Distrokid and honestly it's so freaking good. Email support is quick and personal, and getting the music out there is literally just uploading the master and some album art. It's great, convenient and cheap - and I'm not even paid to say this.
Hey Josh. Thanks for the video! Did you know that in the Pitch Grid you can simply enable Scale Snap when you move your notes up and down? Should save you some manual work here. :)
Very helpful! I've been messing with pitch shifting dating back to the original Hamonizer (took out a loan $1300). In all this time the quality has gotten better but not by a great deal in comparison to the rest of audio tech. Above my pay grade but there must be a quality ceiling due to the nature of pitch shifting. It was originally explained to me by the Harmonizer designer as the doppler effect on steriods. If formant tech gets better, Celemony will figure it out.
@Musichelptechguy what about the pitch editor in Logic? What do you think about it? I also have nectar, but I find it kind of inconvenient to record all in a small window like in melodyne.
Yes, definitely cut the high end and low end to blend the harmony into the mix. I can't remember if I showed this in this video, but I generally like artificial harmonies to be barely audible behind the lead vocal. Like a layering effect. So I bandpass the harmony, then pan it off to the left or right a bit, and pull down the volume quite a bit as well.
Hey Josh! Thank you for your videos! Really useful. Can you make another video for mastering with third part plugins in Logic like you do on your own projects?
Not in my experience no. I have Nectar as well as Harmony Engine from Antares. I find that the quality of pitch shifting isn't as good, and often doesn't work the way I want it. Melodyne gives me the most amount of control. Although there is a way to use your MIDI controller with Nectar to play in the notes that you want harmonized. Perhaps I'll do a video on that sometime.
Hi I see you have the same vocal recording duplicated and one panned left and the other right. Just wondering what this does? as I've read everywhere else that doing this just increases the volume by +3db or so (an that the vocal remains centred) but doesn't add any depth/perception of depth. Any help understanding this is appreciated! Curious because you add the vocal harmony panned closer to the centre, with lead panned hard left and right. Just wondering/curious on how you made that decision :D
ED KUN you can record two very similar vocal,wich means that the little differences Will make the stereo effect. Or you can create a false stereo using delay(just a bit) to create differences between the two tracks.
Hey man :) Love your videos! Could you do something on prog-metal recording/mixing/mastering or just proper guitar recording via mic? Would be awesome :)
Not sure the specific part of the video you’re referring to, but yes, in musical intervals, there are two 3rds in an interval of a 5th. You can stack a major 3rd and a minor 3rd to get a major chord, or minor 3rd and major 3rd for a minor chord.
I actually find that flex pitch does a really good job and haven’t encountered any artifact problems... Meolodyne 3 was pretty strange with phase artifacts on some words which is why I started using Flex Pitch. That said Melodyne 4 - although they apparently didn’t work on the pitch algorithm - is sounding great now. But! Flex pitch is really fast to use in comparison to Melodyne. I guess you need to learn the key commands in Melodyne to get the same speed happening.

Can't thank you enough. You have pushed me to another level.
This is a gem of a video, like all your videos. You have great knowledge and teaching skills. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you! :)
Excellent tutorial as usual! You really are a great instructor. Looking forward to future tutorials -- I'm always learning something new when I stop by your channel. Thanks again!
This plugin looks amazing, very detailed editing. This made me very interested ;)

does it cover tranxsource and beatport?

Thanks. Yeah, I know. Just a habit of mine of manually moving notes into key. haha. I'll make sure I touch on that next time around. Thanks guys!
Celemony true !
Brilliant video tutorial.
Many thanks.
Great tutorial Josh. And beautiful harmony.

This is awesome! I thank you a lot!
Thank you so much for this video! It is GREAT!!!!! And the song.... I Love it!!!!!! Is it available somewhere?
11:34. What about going the other way in pitch correction. F-> E instead of F->f# ?
That could work as well. But instead of consistent 3rds, you'd have an interval of a 4th for one note. But if it sounds better, go for it.
awesome tutorial many thanx !!!
Bro this is gold information
Great works!
Hey! I like that song! What's it called? Who's the artist? 🤔
@Musichelptechguy what about the pitch editor in Logic? What do you think about it? I also have nectar, but I find it kind of inconvenient to record all in a small window like in melodyne.
Thanks man, was having a bit of an issue with this myself
Any method to that vocal harmony eq blend?

Hey Josh! Thank you for your videos! Really useful. Can you make another video for mastering with third part plugins in Logic like you do on your own projects?
What's the name of the track? Can we find the a capella somewhere?
@musictechhelpguy Thanks a lot for this. Helped a lot. Question though. Would Nectar 2 harmony settings have the same effect?
Not in my experience no. I have Nectar as well as Harmony Engine from Antares. I find that the quality of pitch shifting isn't as good, and often doesn't work the way I want it. Melodyne gives me the most amount of control. Although there is a way to use your MIDI controller with Nectar to play in the notes that you want harmonized. Perhaps I'll do a video on that sometime.
Thanks for the reply. Cleared things up for me. Keep these videos coming brother.

Can i use Pitch Grid/Snap Scale in Melodyne 4 Essential? thanks
Great tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man :) Love your videos! Could you do something on prog-metal recording/mixing/mastering or just proper guitar recording via mic? Would be awesome :)
Please do a music theory series!
Thanks!
thx again
two 1/3rds are in 1/5th ?
Not sure the specific part of the video you’re referring to, but yes, in musical intervals, there are two 3rds in an interval of a 5th. You can stack a major 3rd and a minor 3rd to get a major chord, or minor 3rd and major 3rd for a minor chord.
Thanks u sir .. great tutorial
Melodyne VS Flex Pitch (logic pro x)
What is best?
Александр Васильчук flex pitch sounds quite artificial and has many artifacts while pitch shifting. Melodyne hands down.
Thanks
I actually find that flex pitch does a really good job and haven’t encountered any artifact problems... Meolodyne 3 was pretty strange with phase artifacts on some words which is why I started using Flex Pitch. That said Melodyne 4 - although they apparently didn’t work on the pitch algorithm - is sounding great now. But! Flex pitch is really fast to use in comparison to Melodyne. I guess you need to learn the key commands in Melodyne to get the same speed happening.
Good
I can't tell the difference in the transposition bc the echochamber autotune is so bad. A transposition comparison at autotune 0 is necessary
Honestly I though Melodyne does much more natural sounding vocals...
