Best combination for those who want natural vocals and not robotic ones : Wavetunes realtime with soft autotune you barely hear and then polish it with a manual autotune like Waves tune or Melodyne, if you're not accurate with your voice take the time with your plugins that's the only way. Also be sure to record in proper conditions, you need a good room around NC25 or less if you can, otherwise use a dynamic mic with a good preamp because you wouldn't want to pitch the noise that would sound really really bad. Other thing don't be close-mic, because of the proximity effect the sound of your voice will be really bassy and you don't want that when you tune a voice, it's too easy to recognise, be at least half your arm away from the mic and use a pop filter half way (as far as possible from the mic, stop sticking it!!!) because having pops pitched is also not natural as we all have it in the same frequencies, having a clean recording will really help doing the trick trust me. Waves plugins are a gold mine for all Sound Engineers out there, you just gotta know how they work.

Rich person: I'm not rich Arcade: I'm not a singer

[@LRM12o8]

I love how Autotune just turns a shitty vocal recording into a stupidly robotic sounding vocal recording, while the other plugin creates something completely new that's only based on, but doesn't contain anything of the original voice, yet Autotune is the plug in that's considered 'cheating' by a lot of singers and fans. 😂

[@journeytree]

I recorded am entire song, did the vocals myself, spent days trying to precisely tune it with Waves Tune, and nearly destroyed my laptop because I can't make it seem even halfway decent.

[@ncmetalmusic]

Making a voice sound like a robot isn't "fixing" or "improving" it..

[@ortonh1]

You haven’t heard my voice

[@waffleawt6570]

It’s called vocoding, and it does make it better in my opinion

[@ncmetalmusic]

@@waffleawt6570 if you're some talentless hack who can't sing a lick maybe

[@UnderScoredd]

This video is literally hard evidence that your comment is false. Huge L. Vocoder, auto tune and modulators are way too overhated which, funny enough, has resulted in them being underrated.

[@ncmetalmusic]

@@UnderScoredd everyone doesn't record bulls#it "music" like you. We like it to sound real. So get bent

[@stellaqaustralia]

Wow. The days of retakes ‘til you get it right & bouncing tracks onto analogue tape to make room for more tracks is…generations & worlds away. But I’m so glad I experienced them. I started in the industry very young. I still have my multitrack tape masters somewhere…

[@energeticstunts993]

This is a huge improvement. But these effects have even a bigger effect on someone who already sings well

[@MooncrafterUTAU]

thanks for the tutorial! Shared it with the Vocal Synth community :) I know a lot of folks within said community try to get the vocals perfect within the synths before mixing, but I love tuts like this that help make even the "crappy" voicebanks shine.

[@SongStudios]

Sounds very good, though the default autotuning program in fl studio (pitcher) can do the same and if you have a lot more time, you could use newtone to manually shift the notes around to a note in the chord

[@KordTaylor]

Auto-Pro has a graphic editor for fixing individual notes as well.

[@SongStudios]

@@KordTaylor yeah but that isn't necessary for this tutorial

[@SongStudios]

@808 it does the job for this tutorial, I even did it with pitcher and found very similar results

[@jibun_beats]

@808 I mean, they are not the best but with some well recorded vocals, it can be really good.

I am that random person who is a builder at heart and now I want to "build" a song so I am looking for a way to make random sentences into a singing voice and your video popped up. You have a very likeable attitude and vibe you put out, so good job! Also the visual effect of the skull at the end was pretty damn cool, getting some EDM/dnb vibe. Thanks for the video and have a nice day.

[@paulmal535]

You sang “wooder” (water) like a true Philadelphian. Not many can pull that off. But seriously, I enjoyed the video, thanks!

[@daviedood2503]

You need to use Melodine. It's industry standard and u can MOVE the pitch of a word to the correct note. It also automatically corrects the note if it's FLAT or SHARP so the note is in tune. U can adjust the smoothness of that transition so it doesn't sound like a Microsoft robot. You literally can just SAY the words of the song, then drag that word to the correct note pitch that u want. If u can't reach a high note, no problem just sing the note as high as u can comfortably and in tune, then go back, use the slider and put it to the correct note. Simple as that 😆 it's like taking a middle C and going one octive higher and that's it. No real effort needed now days. Plus can do effects if u want as well. Reverb etc.

[@Xbot4Life]

can i use it with fl studio?

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

Newtone does same

[@HasimFN]

@@TheRealCalijokes01 newtone makes it sound like robot

[@foljs5858]

" It's industry standard" this doesn't mean anything. Autotune is even more used in the industry. Autotune can also do all of the things you menntion: it has a manual edit mode to MOVE the pitch of a word to the correct note, it can automatically correct sharp/flat based on a set key, and you can set the transition time so it doesn't sound like a robot.

[@daviedood2503]

for those who didn't win the givewaway, the melda plugins bundle (specifically the autopitch and compressor) can get this effect, along with a vocoder for the harmony side.

[@Haxior5506]

I learned much from this video! Also it's the very similar or even the same effect I was looking for. It sounds like the one WoodenToaster used in his tracks! Thanks once more! :DD

[@citizenofearth]

Very nice result! I will take it into account. It reminded me though, that there is an instrument for generating vocals called Vocaloid from Yamaha, not the cheapest, but very impressive, for those who don't want to even try to sing and yet still produce songs. But this auto-tune is nice. I guess FL Studio has its own tuner, hasn't it? Called Newtone or something...

[@SongStudios]

Yeah, there's pitcher and newtone, pitcher is for realtime tuning while newtone is for precise and melodyne-like tuning

[@marcosandi3220]

It´s called Pitcher, but the formant tool is kinda trash

[@SongStudios]

@@marcosandi3220 You could use some different outside *free* plugin that just formants your voice

[@jibun_beats]

@@marcosandi3220 there is a plugin from melda called auto pitch, also has formant option which is much better than pitcher.

[@jagervolant7871]

I think once you learn it, you then learn how to tone it down and be subtle about it. Unless you’re going for megatron.

[@vilgotskyproductions]

Is there any plugins to improve the vocals without this "robotic" effect?

[@animalsuncovered]

How do you have those chords on the top of your vocals in the first place? How do you make it?

[@ZAMER]

It would be nice to know do this in FL studio original pluggins. Good video by the way✌️🔥

[@hallownaught4022]

you can recreate the Vocal stack with fl studios own Vocoder. its similar, and has a beautiful effect.

[@jibun_beats]

Newtone to manually adjust the pitch of individual words, Pitcher to add real-time adjustment, Vocoder to add harmonies, hope this helps!

I just have one question: you are setting the key on autotune based on the vocal's key. For ex. Auto key tells you vocals are in g minor then you set the autotune to g minor but what if the track you want to put your vocals into is e minor? How the vocal's gonna fit then?

Why would you want to add vocals to your song

[@wesprog9809]

Why do you need the key note? I was always wondering about that and what you are supposed to do with the info. I have no clue about music theory ...Is it worth it to try learn why i need key notes an what I have to do with it after analysing it. I am trying to make psy/progressive psy so if anyone has a link for to an explaination for beginners in music theory or sth like it would really help a lot.

[@NoahDitlefsen]

you just need to know what key your instrumental is in, then autotune will make sure only the notes in that key is sung. its confusing in the beginning but if you just study a bit everyday youll quickly get the hang of it

[@wesprog9809]

@@NoahDitlefsen Thank you for your answer: I really appreciate it. What confuses me most is what I am supposed to do after I figured out the keynote. What is the keynote in an EDM track? Is it the first note of the lead melody? What if you have chords with multiple notes being played? Are you supposed to use the same keynote on the bassline and other elements? I checked a few of my older projects and autokey shows most of the time that it is in A major and when I use a sample where the keynote is mentioned in the filename it shows something different even though it is unedited and the only element of a new project file.

[@NoahDitlefsen]

​@@wesprog9809 when you have chords and u want a bass to follow those chords, use the root note of the chord (in an A chord that would be A, C in a C chord etc). The key of a song is the note or chord the music is centered around, the tonic. if you were playing in the key of C, the C major chord would be the tonic, or 1, E would be the 3 and G would be the 5 in the key.

The title should be how to make epic robot vocals... Don't get me wrong, this is cool, if you like the very old "Cher Style", still so trendy, thanks to AutoTune. But, believe me, you can make a good natural Human vocals using Melodyne, with a little experience with this tool or other alternative. You can tune your singing, make natural transitions and bends between each note, enhance or add vibrato and so on. An then add compression, delay, reverbs... It really depends if you're looking for a natural, in tune vocals, or a Cher Style, robotic vocals.
