Why Melodyne 5? My Top 5 Reasons

[@celemony]

Thanks for your excellent review, Mike! Really enjoyed it.

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you:)

[@davidharpersongs]

Appreciate ya. You've demystified a lot of things in Melodyne for me today

[@reevant2215]

Once again thanks Mike. I was on the fence re going from 4 to 5. This has pretty much convinced me. I don’t do much voice but I do play about a bit with chords. I usually use Melodyne for converting from Audio to MIDI so I can add or change instruments. The chording might make that much better. The de essing or the handling of sibilance is another part that really has me sold. Thanks again. Tony

[@mabian69]

I'll go to 5 as well, there are too many clever improvements, but I'll wait for the next sale (summer? black friday?) I find it strange though you cannot force sibilants time stretching. Sometimes it could be useful, for example when changing relative lengths of two adjacent notes...

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks for watching again Tony - I should award points or something! One odd use I had for Melodyne before was ad-libbing instrument parts - like say trumpet solos. My ability to make things up with my voice, was better than my keyboard skills! Anyway, I used to convert the audio to midi as you say - and it was trick that really worked! I love that they are really working towards making the results more and more natural. I'm waiting for the Mike to Suzi algorithm - like, where I can sing the part, but Suzi's voice comes out :)

[@CreativeSauce]

Its a good point - I wonder if there is an over-ride? I'll look into it. I'm planning to do some short tutorials for each of these features. Thanks for watching!

[@reevant2215]

mabian69 it is on sale right now. The upgrade for the Editor 4 to Editor 5 is US$99

[@reevant2215]

Creative Sauce I use it when I record bits by voice that I need for an instrument.

[@philnorris9179]

one of the best music/recording demos i've ever seen.... thanks

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks Phil!

[@LucasMarak]

Hi Mike, you explain everything so good..am from India always watch your channel. Stay safe God bless !

[@AMBIOSIS]

Hi Mike, you are a breath of fresh air and a fantastic creative informer across the spectrum of creating music. From the P.C., to the finished mastering. Nice one. Great stuff, and what's even better?, it's all about the music and not all about you. keep it up, I will be spreading the word. Thanks again Mike for speaking my language. Have a great life my friend.

[@arpeggioblues5924]

Awesome Sauce, Mike :)

[@ChrisM541]

Fantastic video, thanks! With great power comes great responsibility ;)

[@BeccaLozierTrumpet]

And now you've written "Hit the Road Jack"! Just kidding. Super cool features and Melodyne is about to get some of my money. Love your videos!!!

[@abottine1]

Installed, everything works, thanks!

[@denwill1648]

Dude this is the second video of yours that I have watched and I must say that you have a talent for teaching that very few posess. Wish you used logic but I will still subscribe.

[@randyarbogast2716]

Awesome video! Melodyne is just the best! Once in awhile game changing software comes along, Melodyne is one of them.

[@linfr8066]

Fantastic video, and very well explained. Thank you for sharing with us🎶🎹🎧👍🏻

[@DougMarks]

I've had Melodyne 2 for years. On a whim, finally decided to upgrade, by coincidence, a week after 5 was released. What an amazing difference from 2. I've watched several of Celemony's demonstration videos that are quite amazing. Could take a long time to learn to use all of the potential.

[@larsthomasdenstad9082]

Cool! Great for you! I am in somewhat of the same boat, I upgraded to Melodyne 4 after 10 years, and got a free upgrade to Melodyne 5. Was not aware that there were this many changes. Happy about it watching this video.

[@joegrint6280]

What amazing software - hope Suzi has recovered from you pummelling her lovely voice! ;-)

[@MonsieurVersatile]

Excellent review, subbed.

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks for watching and subbing!

[@Adarkjet]

Been using Melodyne for years and you showed me a few things I did not know. Even before version 5 I’ve been using Melodyne to adjust sibilance. Thanks.

[@barryseymourmusic]

Bloody brilliant, thanks for this!

[@JayanJayanthan]

Thank you Mike. Received Melodyne 5 essential as part of ACID Pro 10 upgrade two days ago. It was very good introduction on the power of Melodyne.

[@123innovate]

Thanks! Very nice video with some important examples.

[@kha6205]

Product is amazing and very concise vid by you Mike, as always. One thing to note though if you have a Windows machine with an older version of the OS is that Celemony says Melodyne 5 requires Windows 10. Maybe you can still try it, but for now that’s stopped my upgrade plans on an 8.1 machine.

[@thomasandmegumilichtenstei7573]

Why would you continue to run 8.1? What's the benefit? Windows 10 is better in every way as far as I can tell.

[@jungwooklee7118]

Thanks bro that was really helpful

[@sklybong225]

this is going to be great!

[@zachary963]

You’re a really great teacher!! Thank you!!

[@tomyg2766]

Great video as always Mike, much appreciated

[@patjackmanesq]

Yeah. Downloaded a demo of Melodyne last year and really liked it. Much nicer than Waves Tune, what I use. Defo on the to buy list...

[@CreativeSauce]

Next version, I hear they will clean up my jokes. Or at least make can funnier!

[@arthurw8054]

Outstanding review, thank you.

[@GregLassalle2015]

Great job on the review. First time seeing you Mike, but will look for more for sure. 👍🏾

[@mathieubrummer3838]

Really good video and well produced. Thank you!

[@amodeogaetano]

Marvelous Mike! Thank you.

[@FiddlingwithmyWhistle]

I love the look of Melodyne 5, but it's just out side of my budget :(

[@leegosling]

It’s amazing... I got the time limited free upgrade... really not sure that I can justify, as a hobbyist, the fees to keep it. But it is truly brilliant, and I’m gonna have to see what’s in the piggy bank!

[@pravo.]

GREAT tutorilas mike thanks

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you!

[@pravo.]

@@CreativeSauce thanks to you as well good night

[@bplabs]

Mike, you've convinced me to upgrade; I hope Celemony does something nice for you.

[@billykellum]

Just upgraded from Assistant 5 to Editor 5. Maybe the end of the year sales will get me to the Studio version so I can do multitrack. Love the ease of use of Melodyne since the very first taste of it way back during the Sonar Platinum days.

[@philfyphil]

Hi Mike, I’m new to your channel. Really excellent and some great content giving users a head start in learning DAWs and add-ons. I’m a relatively experienced user of Studio One but I still find much to learn or refresh on here. Keep up the great work, you are much appreciated.

[@GPM80]

Excellent video mike

[@jbognap]

Nice video. Melodyne has always been game changing software and has only gotten better. I love how you can change individual notes of homogeneous polyphonic audio loops, as well as having the loop change to follow chords. Note to all, you'll need at least Melodyne Editor to perform this polyphonic voodoo. I'll definitely have to wait for a super sale to upgrade from Essential to Editor.

[@goatspy_]

Thank you for this great content!

[@CreativeSauce]

My pleasure thanks :)

[@newell2339]

Another nice video Mike. Maybe I missed it, but what version/package are you using; essential, assistant, editor, or studio? My vocalist uses vibrato quite a bit and the plug-in I'm currently using seems to have trouble with that.

[@alessandronardelli3752]

I think is the studio one (look at the top right corner of the video)

[@CreativeSauce]

Yes, I’m using the studio version. But I think the core focal features are in the essential package

[@newell2339]

@@alessandronardelli3752 That's darn near a "duh" moment for me :) Thanks for the point out.

[@newell2339]

@@CreativeSauce Thanks Mike. "Duh" moment for me not seeing it on the screen. Pushing $800 US for the studio package won't cut it for me, despite how cool it is. The good and bad about retirement and fixed incomes.

[@TerenceKearns]

Excellent coverage.

[@davidemusik]

Great Contest!

[@MichaelVStone]

Thanks Mike helpful, God bless you....

[@pedrokuntrophus]

Very clear!, thanks Mike.

[@rome8180]

Also, thanks for the video. Just subscribed.

[@ishrashad]

Mike, thanks as always. BUT... I would really like to know what is the minimum M5 level that gives you each feature. It isn't clear in any of the Melodyne doco I've read (and unfortunately that's probably intentional, signed off by by Fred at Marketing). I don't have enough need to justify the higher paid levels - but that does not make it less of a mouth-watering prospect. Am wondering if someone can point me to a clear feature comparison that would spell it out for me - especially with respect to your top 5 features, which *are* really cool.

[@Tanoti]

If you download the trial version I think you can set it to only give you the features of a particular M5 level. Not as simple as looking at a feature list for sure but hope it helps!

[@ishrashad]

@@Tanoti Thanks John. I've checked and M5 Essentials does have enough of what I need, so I've decided to buy it. It is amazingly clever software. Take care and stay safe

[@glencruciani]

Great video!

[@CreativeSauce]

Cheers Glen :)

[@benbirdsinging3275]

A mighty beautiful product with fantastic possibilities. Unfortunately a bit too expensive for me. Until now I use Zplane VielKlang 2. Less options but actually I only use it for vocals. And there it suffices for me. But a good explanation!

[@keithsykeshome]

Very informative and thank you. By the way, 'robotic's really is a word! Cheers .....

[@sawniemcbean4071]

Hi and thanks for the review. I'm wondering can you copy and paste seperate audio parts to create harmonies? ;o)

[@whippleLopez]

Plus Mike , this Mike is not bald

[@gurlerium]

amazing. it fix the intonation as well. :)

[@stu1002]

Can you do a review of the different versions and walk through which you think is need for different users?

[@kachilda]

I'm impressed with the cord feature adding it to notes but she sounded best before you started messing with it so I'm not so sure about the vocals impressive as they are.

[@limbophonic1]

What version of melodyne 5 are you using, i have melodyne 4 editor, any idea if all the features you show are available in 5 editor? Thanks

[@robainscough]

How well does Melodyne 5 Studio do with conversion of audio tracks to MIDI?

[@tanpeiyee2736]

worked!

[@lhallhall9240]

Has Melodyne 5 fixed the ARa/Logic saving issue?

[@roman_gorn]

💥

[@tkarlmann]

Were you using the full, Studio, version for this video?

[@johnbrunskill9469]

Excellent video Mike. You are a pleasure to listen to. (Love the occasional quip with the facial expression). Does Cakewalk have a "Chord track" that you refer to in the video? Is it possible to make a chord track within Cakewalk if they don't have an official chord track?

[@CreativeSauce]

Hi John, I'm afraid it doesnt :(

[@wrsongs1]

Hi, How do I get multiple audio from separate tracks into Melodyne? Thanks

[@vinayh898]

Nice man ty

[@benjamingallaway8687]

What are the major differences/advantages between Melodyne 5 and Something like Antares Autotune Pro? Do you have a video on that?

[@theglz505]

Quality👏🏻👍🏼✨

[@michaelparson-mcnamara782]

First off I wouldn't need to buy a Taylor V class. I could just upgrade from Studio 4 and retune my current acoustic guitars. I'm already in the habit of Melodyne-ing my bass tracks.

[@Piemanrudy]

Why are you using ear monitors and what kind are they? Do you use them instead of headphones typically?

[@CreativeSauce]

Hi Mike. I'm only using them, because I feel it looks a bit better on video :) They are the Shure SE215s. I actually really like them for monitoring, coz they block outside noise very well. They DO take a bit of getting used to, in terms of putting them in. I talk about them towards the end of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z37JdIanqcd-q6c

[@Piemanrudy]

@@CreativeSauce Thanks for letting me know, that's what I thought. At first I thought they were hearing aids, which I wear . I might try out a pair myself. It does look better I think.

[@kurtisrosenwinkel]

Question: why are the notes overlayed onto the keyboard graph the wrong way? it looks like this should be in A minor not C.

[@Nathankaye]

You can do almost all of this with VariAudio, which comes free with Cubase Pro, except the polyphonic manipulation. A handy tool and advantage that Melodyne has, particularly for live gig mixes where a string has gone out of tune, but if Steinberg add polyphonic tuning to Variaudio, then Melodyne will need some extra innovation sauce to win any Cubase users over.

[@hydrefyricon804]

Is it possible to isolate individual tracks using Melodyne? For ex; isolating the vocal track or guitar track on a pre existing recording, off of a CD?

[@music_creator_capable]

Hey Mike! 👍👋

[@CreativeSauce]

Hey MC, I hope you are very well:)

@therainman777 What do you use?

[@ramyrefaatofficial]

Finally 💪👏

[@rogertausz]

how does one get multiple tracks into melodyne?

[@bille77]

Can I use melodyne as a audio to midi device, play my plug-in instruments with my guitar?

[@robertj1303]

Melodyne 5 is in different versions essential $99 assistant $299 editor $499 and then studio $849. What were you using? which version. Why would I pay so much when you have many other tools? I think your 5 reasons can be applied to other cheaper software. So why pay more

[@crunch6161]

Hi Mike, great video as always! I heard someone comment on another KZbin video that the new Melodyne 5 upgrade crashed his Cakewalk by BandLab session. It looks like in this video you are using the stand alone version. Have you had any problems using Melodyne 5 as a region effect in Cakewalk?

[@CreativeSauce]

I havnt, but I'll test and let you know. I was using it in Studio One so far.

[@crunch6161]

Thanks

Why it's not amazing, it's forcing people to windows 10, dropping support for all previous owners, not publishing and not informing people that in 3 months time even after emailed and asked that an update was due. Charging for a substandard update at a time of crisis. As a company they are on par with Gibson IMO. Also not exactly bug free and stable in cakewalk in my experience.

[@BugattiBoy01]

Who the hell doesn't use windows 10?

[@xtenkfarpl]

I hear you. I HATE Windows 10. I would like to hang on to my excellent stable Windows 7 installation until it is pried from my cold dead fingers. It was an improvement over all its predecessors AND its successors. Alas, I guess I will have to give in eventually as support for essential programs drops away. :-(

[@harveyandruss8748]

Windows 7 is EOS. It's a major update. You can make music without it, but listen to the video.
