Autotune vs Melodyne | A Singer's Perspective

[@regdenee]

I choose melodyne every day of the week. It's probably the best vocal-tune plugin I've ever used. Sometimes I use it in combination with auto tune to capture that slightly "modern" touch.

[@joeymusic]

Yup! They stack together very well -Miami

[@limo9402]

Yes melodyne is the king of vocal tune

It's crazy how long ago Melodyne added polyphonic tuning and it's still total witchcraft which nobody else has been able to crack. It's like someone from the future came back in time and gave them the secrets. Changing the a single note in a bounced chord is just mental.

[@josuastangl7140]

In the film industry there are similar tools to cut out very specific sounds out of your recording. For example sirens in the background, easily removed with a spectral editor.

[@cherrybombuwu1241]

I actually tend to use both in tandem with one another. The Autotune for straightening out when I go slightly off key (Will always happen. I'm not a robot.) And Melodyne for fixing some issues in a take if I'm feeling too lazy to redo it. Love both though!

[@aarongarlington8499]

Great vid! I find that for most genres, tuning the notes to be at their correct place but not dead center and correcting the the pitch drift sounds awesome going into autotune for that extra glossy touch

[@No-sr5fb]

That stimulus check aka plugin giftcard haha

[@joeymusic]

Lmao you know the vibes🤣

[@brutuslaurentius8729]

I've used melodyne for years but I've never tried autotune. You always do a great job in these videos of organizing everything so that you punch out the information in an actionable way. Great job

[@joeymusic]

Glad that you like the videos Brutus! I wish I was as organized in real life as I am in these videos 🤣🤣🤣. Do you think you’ll give Autotune a shot now? -Miami

[@brutuslaurentius8729]

@@joeymusic I think it's worth trying one of the low end packages for sure. Mostly just for fun to play around with. Because I don't do much that's live, I think the melody is fine for what I do. But it might be interesting to try autotune while tracking

[@OscarSlapp]

I got Melodyne Studio 4 off of KVR for $225 then I upgraded to Melodyne Studio 5 for $99. I paid $338 for Autotune Pro.

[@Just-Michael]

I got Waves Tune and Waves Tune Real-Time for a lovely price for my birthday last year. Best of both worlds. 😇

[@XLIImusic]

Great breakdown🔥Melodyne all the way. There's no way I'm doing 50 tracks of pop vocals in Auto-tune. Melodyne studio multitrack mode is the truth. You can even fix timing issues etc. Or repitch entire orchestras. It's nuts.

[@limo9402]

I love auto tune graph mode it's so addictive

[@Airtouch67]

Great informative video ! I just do a lot of "karaoke" backing track singing stuff and the auto-tune works just fine. I also have Melodyne but rarely use it. I think the WavesTune is better than the Antares Auto-Tune, cheaper and sounds more natural.

[@honkytonk2010]

I do karaoke tracks myself and love it! one thing I do is put autotune in front of my signal chain when I'm singing while recording works amazing!!..cheers

[@ckdotdotdot]

sweet, thanks for this! i've been wondering which one to invest in, it seems like melodyne is definitely more in the ball park of what i'd expect/want from a piece of tuning software.

[@joeymusic]

Glad that we could help Conor!

[@lllazarrr]

Don't care about this topic, but still enjoyed the video from the beginning to the end. Should I be worried?

[@melibate]

beyonce uses autotune

[@joeymusic]

Lol Lazar! It’s an interesting topic so no need to be worried. The second part of this is going to be really fun also

[@streaming846]

Is it common to stretch notes at all? And I feel like for lesser singers melodyne Is noticeable but it corrects it smoother than autotune which leaves more of that blippy “autotune” effect and still ends up sounding off

[@revmarshall]

I use WavesTune primarily. Autotune Sometimes.

[@JimWilbourne]

I primarily record only myself and the rare client. I moved to mostly doing tuning in my DAW. I own autotune. I used to own AutoTune Evo, but since I dropped out of the game for most musicians (most of my audio work is voiceovers now), I only need to use tuning for my band and personal projects. AutoTune Evo was great, especially as I learned how to be a better vocalist. But eventually, I didn't need it anymore and the graphical editor in my daw was all I needed.

[@Fifavin14]

WTF YOU THE LEGEND OF THE JST CLIPPER love it

[@lucaguitar2154]

I just use G snap. Works just fine. Loving the new videos👍

[@joeymusic]

I’ve actually never heard of g snap! Who makes it?

[@lucaguitar2154]

@@joeymusic GVST they make a lot of great free plugins. Check them out!

[@melibate]

is that like a pitch correction software or autotune?

[@lucaguitar2154]

@@melibate I’m not really what to classify it as but you can download it free and try it out

[@cherrybombuwu1241]

GSnap is probably the best as far as free autotuning pluggins go. GVST makes a bunch of extremely useful free VSTs everyone should have.

[@DoctorRapper]

I don't have the melodyne polyphonic thing you were talking about and so tuning 3 layers for a chorus is so tedious.... I want autotune to see if it can speed up my work flow.

[@klout3114]

i got both but do you need melodyne if autotune pro has graph mode? and is it better then autotune graph mode?

[@Soulpiercerofficial]

Such a great video man thank you

[@justevan877]

You guys have vocals in your music??? * continues to write and produce instrumental music *

[@shizumaruofficial]

Same. *highfive*

[@JBMetalProductions]

welcum to my life

[@Mike_Spor]

I'm the opposite. I have great vocals after I auto-tune the melodyne, but my my music is better off not played as it sux. I couldnt write a song to save my life.well, I could, but it would sound like a church song played by a garage band of old men.

[@geraldhartley]

Thanks. By the way... the word is "versus", not "verse".

[@timepaintertunebird8160]

Are those monitors in the back Behringer Truths?

[@mikesperling9878]

What about ReaTune? :D

[@joeymusic]

That might get its own episode!

[@mikesperling9878]

It would diserve it. You know it's cool. ^^

[@purpleheart69420]

So Basically bro, I dont really plan on Recording any real instruments any soon, I just plan on doing Soundcloud rapping ya feel me? Even tho I make beats sometimes but ya know, digital beats... So what do you recommend? for someone doing something Lil Peep, Xavierwulf, Suicideboys etc... ?

[@joeymusic]

Autotune 100% -Miami

[@purpleheart69420]

@@joeymusic which version?

[@adri2130]

Since i'm a broke college student i was actually trying to compare between Autotune Access and Melodyne 5 essential, since those are the cheapest versions of each. However, since black friday is soon to be over i think i'll go for melodyne over autotune, cuz from what i read it seems melodyne is much more versatile and has more features on its cheaper option unlike autotune.

[@TheDiamondShoppeBeats]

Great breakdown

[@purpleheart69420]

Hey buddy, sorry to bother again, So hey listen, do you think the Graph mode of auto tune is enough as a tool? even doing harmonies and etc? (Im a decent singer at least)...

[@joeymusic]

It’s definitely enough! It will basically handle whatever you throw at it -Miami

[@Johnwilkinsonofficial]

melodyne is pricey and more time consuming, and autotune gives a great sheen with so little effort. but! the natural transparency of melodyne is just amazing and unmatched to my ear.

[@melibate]

tfw i need both

[@joeymusic]

Seriously, they both are such useful pieces of software. Which do you use more often?

[@OscarUnrated]

I prefer autotune because I'm bad at singing and it does a better job transforming my vocals. The sound is common in rap so it works in heavy doses

[@robwasnj]

I can't believe how normalized using pitch correction software has become. I still know some artists that don't use any of it but in pop music it IS the voice of the genre nowadays. I'm hearing it in all kinds of music now, even bluegrass. Even applied with discretion to a good singer a lot of us still notice, it turns me off but I figure I'm the minority here. I'd just rather hear the imperfections than the weirdness as the software snaps the pitch to the correct note.

[@GioGuitarDude]

Same… it’s pretty sad that 2 months later I’m the first thumb up
