Comping with Melodyne (ARA)

[@eirik_myhr]

THANK YOU Celemony and Steinberg for bringing this incredible integration to Cubase!! Just started using it and it is AWESOME!

[@zachshoupnotshoop7374]

that's so dope

[@cmdkaboom]

Fantastic...it really has improved my workflow in Nuendo!!!

[@ozone1979]

I know you guys have heard a lot of requests so far. But the one I want the most that none other can deliver like Melodyne (if ya'll agree)... Get ready:.... Allowing Melodyne to receive MIDI input to transpose the audio blobs to the played notes, in real time. Chords would duplicate the blobs to the notes specified (a seventh chord would have 4 blobs). Also, for arps and lazy chords, triggering within a blob, the transposing would be of partial blobs (from that point on). The representation of new blobs can have a different color or even a different appearance all together. Allowing Melodyne to transpose to incoming MIDI would be like (and better) that have such a feature (like AutoTune, and others). Also, this allows Melodyne to also be an new-age sampler as well. Load the sample in (e.g. by ARA), and then transpose the sounds to whatever MIDI melody is desired. Or you can just have it to retrigger and transpose a specific blob.

[@seanotes3594]

That would be excellent

[@ronjames-music]

Excellent instructional video. Well done! I also love the song used for this.

[@celemony]

Thanks a lot, Ron!

[@PNoirmusic]

Cries in Ableton 11 without ARA feature 😭

[@123innovate]

Awesome work! Melodyne is an essential tool these days.

[@trentonshutters4502]

Just got Melodyne Essential, this channels hopefully going to turn me into a pro

[@zachshoupnotshoop7374]

yall are the best

[@NightLightBabe23]

Comping is taking the best recording from your vocal arrangement or any section from the song that your producing and coming them to make a new main vocal for your song making it sound smooth

[@isaiahhernandez2300]

Comping is essentially editing vocals by taking the sections of all takes that sound best and mixing them into one track. Melodyne makes this precisely achievable by magnifying the signals allowing you to see each vocal action, note by note.

[@nk1000]

Dammit! The future has come

[@drnerkzofficial8792]

Unbelievable! Even better than our expectations! Thank you !

[@kwikb]

Excellent Thank you!

[@verneylampedusa4960]

Thank you - after this video I decided to upgrade my Cubase, to get the ARA compatibility

[@seanotes3594]

Can you please do some Cubase tutorials as well for Steinberg? Very well explained presentation.

[@frank683]

Comping is taking a recording of your vocal arrangement or any part from a song that you’re making and bringing them together to make the main vocal for the record sound perfect

[@tovahlovely9100]

Comping is just taking the best part of each take from your vocal arrangements or from a section of your song, and combining them together to make your main vocal for the record and make it sound flawless.

[@celemony]

Right. And Melodyne can help with the process as shown in the video. :)

[@Ponk_80]

I would love to have this on my iPad

[@edrugmanmusic]

Above and beyond the technical product demonstration, in terms of this video presentation can I just express how awesome the continuous song scoring underlying this video (and others!) is seemlessly following the project file. Every cut is done perfectly. I would love to see how you did this... is the voiceover in the song project and then some elements of it are also in the video edit where you need to show the a project being stopped or looping back for instance? ☺️

[@interlucid]

I nearly had a conniption watching this as an Ableton Live + Melodyne user

[@celemony]

Ouch! Perhaps send a feature request to Ableton? 😉

[@interlucid]

@@celemony ARA support is the 3rd most upvoted request on their feature request hub. it's been there for four years. I'm switching DAWs for vocal processing solely for ARA support because Ableton will never support it

[@SchneiderRicky]

we need this in ableton😫😫

[@bboymac84]

Schneider Ricky he said its in most updated daws

[@celemony]

​@@bboymac84 Unfortunately Ableton doesn’t support ARA yet. But perhaps if you all request it from them, one day they will. :)

[@PankajChoudhury]

Hello, whenever I'm loading melodyne in Logic pro x, every time I see black screen. could you please help?

[@celemony]

Hey Pankaj, make sure that both Melodyne and Logic are up-to-date. If this doesn’t help, please contact our Tech Support: helpcenter.celemony.com/en/supportRequest

[@zuluripper]

When will you guys bring back MIDI input? I saw this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWS0oXing7CAZrc) and became frantic because that feature was removed. Please bring back the ability to snap notes to incoming MIDI, like Auto-Tune and zplane retune does.

[@jonawilson71]

I've tried every scenario and just can't get melodyne to work like this in Sonar Platinum. Please, any tips would be much appreciated.

[@celemony]

Sonar Platinum is deprecated software and probably not compatible any more. But please feel free to contact our Tech Support here: www.celemony.com/support - Thank you!

[@DAV1D227]

Se viene la actualización a Melodyne 5

[@Davlet]

celemony please add auto aligning feature!

[@petecatt]

This feature is unstable in Logic Pro 10.4.8. I've been testing it and spent many hours trying to find a solution after losing many hours of work. I hope a fix comes soon but until it's stable I can't afford to risk using this software on serious work. Problem areas I've found are recording over a comp, this totally throws things. Moving a comp. making changes to a comp after editing. Chopping a comp. Basically anything to do with comps is risky. If it worked it would be amazing, which is why I bought the software, but it doesn't perform as described. They suggest we should now use Melodyne early in the production process but I strongly suggest not to do this until you have tested out these scenarios and saved and reopened the test project to see for yourself if it works as you expect.

[@celemony]

Hey Peter, we’ve already been in contact. Melodyne itself actually performs as described. The ARA workflow, however, is like a two-side communication channel and also depends on how third-party developers implement ARA in their DAW. Feel free to contact Apple and let them know about your issues with ARA comping. Thanks!

[@sammix7077]

I feel Logic pro has the poorest implementation of Ara unlike Studio one and cubase. Adding Ara in the channel plugin rack is very awkward to me. And right now, it doesnt seem to be stable in logic pro 10.4.6. Sometimes I'll look for Ara and I won't see it until I restart logic pro. I expected Ara to work the same way it works in studio one but well I'm not a software engineer, so maybe thats just the only way they could make it work in logic

[@HowAboutKaran]

What about crossfades? Are they preserved / do they work?

[@celemony]

You won’t hear any clicks and pops, if this is your question.

[@HowAboutKaran]

@@celemony No, I was actually wondering whether crossfades on audio events in Cubase will still function when using the ARA extension?

[@celemony]

@@HowAboutKaran Generally speaking, it depends on the host. They might or might not apply fades (and crossfades) to ARA regions. If you contact our Tech Support at [e-mail], they will certainly be able to answer your question in more detail.

[@PressRecord777]

Hey Avid, in case you don't realize it, this video, and every other one promoting ARA, is an advertisement AGAINST Pro Tools. Your users want it and they've told you so. Your protectionist corporate philosophy is killing your platforms. Your stock price and Investars numbers as of late should tell you something.

[@null-v6e]

I use Studio one. But melodyne is grey note. So i can't use meldyne. What's that?

[@celemony]

Seems like Melodyne fell back to ‘Player mode’. Please check in the Help > License menu, if your Melodyne is properly activated. If you need help, please contact [e-mail].

[@Serg7sk]

WHAT SONG? WHO PERFORMS?

[@MiMi-cu2yw]

Does this feature require studio version and put multiple instance to all the tracks?

[@celemony]

All Melodyne editions support the ARA technology and can be integrated into Cubase the same way. The Multi-track Editing feature, however, is only available in Melodyne studio. Hope this helps.

[@robertsimpson5801]

Does the plugin save with Logic Pro X? Last time I used it, it would not save, and when I would reload a project, none of my work was there! Talk about a pain in the butt...

[@celemony]

Hey Robert, could you please contact our Tech Support at [e-mail] about this? Thank you!

[@fivestringed]

I DID have the same problem, as explained in the link here, but I wonder if they have fixed it.... I don’t have that problem anymore... www.synchroarts.com/faq/revoice-pro-4-ara-integration-in-logic-pro-x#revoice-pro-4-ara-integration-in-logic-pro-x

What Roomie does

[@g3nius]

ARA 2 for Pro Tools ?

[@celemony]

Yes, we’d appreciate it. You might want to request it from Avid, since they are the ones who’d need to implement it. 🙂

[@g3nius]

@@celemony I will definitaly write Avid about Ara.

[@Astrovic1]

which daw is shown here?

[@celemony]

This is Cubase.

[@TheHeadphoneCat]

Does the boxed version come with a code?

[@celemony]

What kind of code do you mean? A serial number? Yes, it does.

[@knomusic05]

Song ?

[@celemony]

This is an unreleased song. The singer is Nicole Milik.

[@ivelisserosa7624]

Poor Protools I just see it downgraded.

[@diegomunoz9967]

Its free?

[@celemony]

ARA is a free protocol, but of course you need to buy the DAW and Melodyne. :)
