Copy And Paste Inside Melodyne - Fast Vocal Tuning!!!

[@ReaganLopez]

Thank you so much Adam.. That worked... Even I used to previously commit the changes to Ableton and do all that unnecessary work.. The key thing that you showed here is how to select the timeline and grid correctly so that the timing doesn't get skewed when you paste the notes.

[@AdamClairmont]

Awesome, glad this is helpful! And yes, hopefully Celemony makes it a little easier in a future update!

[@djcertaindaze]

Thanks for this! Copying and pasting in Melodyne has always been a nightmare for me, this should help!

[@FORSAI]

Saved me from the usual bouncing. Ty!

[@AdamClairmont]

Glad to hear!

[@kingkantan]

Just saved me so much time. Legend

[@AdamClairmont]

Awesome thanks! So glad to hear that!

[@I_Am_Griff]

SUPER helpful man, thank you so much for that! i have to spend so much BACK and FORTH time on my chorus's trying to get them to sound the same and i often find that i really enjoy the way i process 1 particular chorus but when chorus 2 or 3 get loaded in- like you said its kind of clunky and does NOT process the audio the same EVEN THO ITS LITERALLY COPIED AND PASTED IN PRO TOOLS (which i dont really understand WHY it would process differently, but it does!) NOW i can make all my chorus's feel the same (not in a boring way, but i work hard to create a special melody that hooks the listener in and i want them to have that same delicious vibe each time!). thanks again bro! and also thanks for keeping it quick and short! back to work!!!

[@nightwoodpeckers1424]

Worked out perfectly well. Thanks for that!

[@fastronaut909]

This definitely works; thank you. Very clear tutorial. The issue I'm having right now is that when I paste the audio, part of it warps and becomes really fast as if it's being quantized. I'll respond to this comment if I figure it out.

[@AdamClairmont]

That's a nightmare 🤣 haven't had that experience though.

[@fastronaut909]

@@AdamClairmont I found the issue on Melodyne’s site; apparently, it’s actually part of Melodyne’s functions and the way it behaves while pasting something onto the grid, but I still can’t find a way to deactivate that feature. The only work-around I had at the moment was working outside of Melodyne and copying the tuned audio region where I needed it. Definitely a very frustrating feature.

[@AdamClairmont]

Feature??? Is that what they call it??? Sounds to me like they misspelled headache!

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Sadly, I couldn't get it to work. Tried how you suggested, did a bunch of other possible "fix-trix".... nuttin' Ended up just copying in Pro Tools, and then re-running "Mellow-dine" (called thus because although it's pretty good, it is not great flexibility wise and reminds me of one of my friends at dinner having had too much wine...sluggish, mellow !)

[@deanzamusic]

Thank you so much! I was exporting out of Ableton and importing back in. Soooo time consuming! Def a game changer!

[@CarlosRMusica]

Hola, gracias por el video. Una consulta. Hace algunos años cuando usaba melodyne había un comando, con el cual de la mismas voz podías sacar una segunda, solo arrastrando el mouse, tal vez sabes cuál es??

[@EgorLappo]

the information from 1:27 is actually what i needed. so when you said "did i make the clear" i was like yeah! thanks :)

[@AdamClairmont]

Okay awesome! Sometimes I wonder if I'm making any sense. Glad this worked for you, it's a big one for me!

[@EgorLappo]

@@AdamClairmont didn't work lol. if there is a silence - it won't transfer anything. and if i am just copy-pasting in melodyne - it stops playing (while in cubase it still plays). weird.

[@EgorLappo]

@@AdamClairmont ah so i should firstly copypaste already tuned stuff, transfer it to melodyne, delete these 'blobs' and insert ones from already tuned section?

[@AdamClairmont]

@@EgorLappo hey so, I think I mentioned that this is kinda clunky. Celomony could make it much easier. So, first import audio into melodyne. Then tune. Then copy and paste. Also, and this is annoying, but try using the menus for copy and paste in melodyne. For some reason, I feel like key commands don't work all the time. Hope that helps.

[@nathancorp4u]

Thank you Adam!! Plus, what song is that? Sounds great, do share if its published already. Many thanks again. ❤

[@linfordrichards8395]

Thank you Adam, Your a star 👍🏼👌🏼

[@IAmKhasse]

This video is exactly what I needed! But I’m not sure what you mean by uploading the whole song into melodyne first. So I have to listen to the full song for every track I’m using melodyne with? Or can I directly upload it and mute it without effecting the vocals I’m editing?

[@kayavandenbosch]

Thank you Adam for this tutorial! Still haven't made it work yet for myself in Melodyne 5 Assistant but I enjoyed your video nevertheless haha, have a nice day!

[@kayavandenbosch]

JUST KIDDING, got it! Thanks again!

[@dovane9932]

Great! Do you know with wich version of Melodyne we can copy and paste?

[@AdamClairmont]

Hmm, I wish I could tell you exactly when it came about but all I can say with certainty is I was definitely doing this in 4. I Feel like it was earlier but I can't say for sure. I"m in 5 now, and works there too.

[@thornev]

Wow, game changer is right ! I found that if I copied and pasted after I Melodyne'd that the source of the copy got TWICE as loud ! Apparently Melodyne has no awareness of changes made to the source clips as Melodyne saves its data in separate files (I assume that's why). But trial and error is right because getting your copy pasted to be exactly aligned with the rest of the music can be hit and miss. Thanks, Adam. PS - I'm hoping I can do your suggestion pasting into a new clip.

[@cekirdekci32]

Yes, but does it copy and paste the whole audio or does it copy and paste only the pitch or that audio? I did not get this. I want to protect the feeling and the originality of the second part but I just wanna copy and paste the pitch adjustments from the first part. does it work that way? thank you.

[@molecola68]

this is exactly what i'm looking for as well!

[@ChuckMaidenMusic]

Thanks so much! Exactly what I needed to know. I was doing the same thing-commiting, etc. I'm doing a song with gang vocals so I need to line everything up!

[@AdamClairmont]

Awesome, you're welcome. Definitely a time saver!

[@DoctorRapper]

OMG thank you. Copy and paste not working for me has been such anobstacle to using melodyne efficiently. I wasn't importing all of the time and just skipping to the choruses so I think that is my issue. Still kind of annoying you have to transfer the song several times for all the different takes. I have 6 vocals I need to edit so that's gonna take a while just to transfer in the audio. Kind of tedious program if you ask me but this is very helpful.

[@AdamClairmont]

You're welcome. And yeah, there are some parts to melodyne that make you scratch your head... As for taking long to import all your vox tracks, you can either watch my video on how to import into melodyne faster or you can record enable all your vox tracks at once in melodyne, run the song down once and they will all be there for you. It doesn't take longer to import unless you do it one at a time. Hope that helps!

[@DoctorRapper]

@@AdamClairmont brooooooo!!!! I was getting so frustrated with this program earlier. You may have just saved me a lot of time. I will check out the other video and subscribe. Thank you!

[@SuperTariky]

Is it posible to copy sample of notes,vibrato and use it on another vocal to shape it?

[@vivianabelluccia733]

Magnifico! llevo mucho tiempo queriendo solucionar esto y ha sido un caos, es un gran paso para poder editar por secciones. gracias.

[@AdamClairmont]

¡¿¡¿Yo se, verdad?!?! Muy feliz de que esto te sea útil. ¡Gracias por el comentario!

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Re-watching and going back again.. I forgot about the "Play" requirement".. SOOO Wuirky!

[@SomethingTVTV]

Definitely room for improvement from Celemony. Basic cut and paste features came around on this planet like 1912 BC

[@AdamClairmont]

Yeah I know... I prefer the sound and editing GUI (mostly) over Auto tune but... Well you said it.

[@SomethingTVTV]

@@AdamClairmont Yep the sound is the best. If they just improve some of the simple things like editing they will be light years ahead of the competition.

[@AdamClairmont]

Yeah, agreed!

[@Bredemann100]

I use logic, usually just do "bounce in place" and mute the original then i can move it wherever i want

[@fmvcsings]

Thank you Adam for sharing this, I noticed that if I copied lets say the 1st chorus in Melodyne and wanted to paste that same chorus further down in Melodyne so it can come out in the 2nd chorus, it would let me do it (even if I didn't import the audio in real time). I had to copy, then paste and then put paste one more time (I don't know why but after putting paste two times, it did it.) Who knows, maybe this happens to some sessions. Thanks for sharing, let me know if it worked for you too.

[@AdamClairmont]

Oh that's awesome! I'll give it another try. Seemed like it's never worked like that but overall this process is pretty clunky. I'm curious what version of melodyne you have?

[@fmvcsings]

@@AdamClairmont No problem, I have Melodyne 5 assistant, yeah, let me know when you can if it did work. Thank you.

[@AdamClairmont]

Okay, yeah I am in 5 now. I don't remember if I had upgraded at the time of that video. I'll let you know

[@fmvcsings]

@@AdamClairmont Great, thanks.

[@Nick-mt2yu]

what if your second hook is different than your first? meaning you have more layers that you built up more on each hook

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

1.) Thank you SO very much for this! 2.) Goddamn, why does Celemony overly-complicate copy & paste which is over 30 years old methodology of time-tested, tried & true, "take this, and also place it their" technological workflow?! LOL

[@AdamClairmont]

Oh man you are welcome. Glad this helps. I agree. Head scratcher how they can figure out audio tuning, but as you said, copy paste is a little behind. Also a bummer how the time grid doesn't give any indication of subdivisions. Just bar by bar. All that and I still love melodyne though!

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

@@AdamClairmont I look forward with learning it more as I work to figure out all of this software and stuff. I also just followed you on twitter, and set alert notifications to your posts. Wishing you a successful 2021.

@@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios ha! Okay got it.

[@isaacgarcia4529]

Cool thanks for this but is there a way to copy and paste but to a different track? Let’s say you finish tuning one track and it has another (double track), can you just copy the melody down tuning from the first track to the next one?

[@AdamClairmont]

Hey thanks for the question. Yes, you can copy audio from one track and past to another. You would select audio from the first track, then bring a different track to the front by selecting the orange "edit notes" button in the window on the left, then paste. One thing to consider here though, if you copy and paste like this, you no longer have a double, you have an identical copy. So, this may or may not get you the result you are after. Good luck!

[@molecola68]

@@AdamClairmont i have recorded a vocal using two mics so i need the exact same correction on both tracks to get a full coherent sound, otherwise the second mic becomes a sort of pitch effect. so if i tune the "lead" mic then copy and paste the tuned part on the secondary mic will i get the two in phase all the time?

[@babawawayoyo]

Do you ever find that when you delete a note, you still hear it? That happens to me. Maybe I just need to use the ARA version!

[@AdamClairmont]

Hmm no. When this happens you are deleting the note in melodyne right? Not the DAW? When melodyne is open and audio is imported, your edits in the DAW will not be recognized untill you reimport that audio or make melodyne inactive.

[@enzoeaj]

@@AdamClairmont how do u print vocal out of melodyne in FL Studio

[@collinjamesguitar]

If you have another plugin like Vocalign or something on the chain, it’ll preserve whatever audio you transferred to it, even if you deleted it, until you re-record or re transfer. Like how with Melodyne, if I transfer and then go to edit the waveform, changes to the waveform are not heard. Only what was transferred in Melodyne!

[@babawawayoyo]

@@collinjamesguitar and @AdamClairmont, Thank you, I get it now :)

[@SamiaTawil]

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a little problem, don't know if you can help: I was working on several melodyne projects, but since last week, I can't seem to edit anymore. The tracks in the editing window are all greyed out, can't get them to be red as usual, nor to move anything... Do you know that problem? I really hope you can help me with a solution.. Thanks in advance!

[@AdamClairmont]

Hey I'm sorry, but I've tried to imagine what could be causing this but I can't seem to think of anything. Have you found a solution yet?

[@SamiaTawil]

@@AdamClairmont Yes, thanks! Had to write to celemony to fix it. However, I have another question: I've worked on a whole vocal session for days, and realised a the very end I had a worked on a saturated export (the initial bounce having been bounced at a too loud volume). Is there any way I could replace the man vocal in melodyne project by the cleaner export whithout losing my pitching work? I heard it's not possible with melodyne, but is there a way to do that with another program? Thanks

[@AdamClairmont]

Oh man, wouldn't that be an amazing feature?!?! Sorry, that's just not going to work at this point in melodyne. Actually I don't know of any program that could do that...

[@202guitars]

I have Auto-Tune Pro, do you happen to know if there’s any way to do this in that software?

[@AdamClairmont]

That's a good question but I don't have the answer. I haven't used auto tune in a very long time.

[@202guitars]

@@AdamClairmont no worries, thank you!

[@rosetellem]

@@202guitars Auto Tune Pro by Antares has a Graph mode where you can alter notes like you can in melodyne. I havent found a way to copy and paste info within AutoTune though. Let me know if you find a way.
