How To Make Melodyne Sound Natural - Tips and Tricks

[@OnyxSkiesXIX]

After watching this, I went back and reapplied Melodyne to the vocal track I’m working now and it sounds way better and more natural! Thank you!

[@DMDvideo10]

This might be one of the best tutorials for Melodyne I've seen! Nice Job

[@Senshobeats]

Thank you sir! Appreciate you saying that

[@peterbaird7597]

So…the glitch at the end of the phrase you’re working on around 15:30 is a result of how Melodyne detects the pitch line and sometimes completely bollixes it up. Then when you apply the hard pitch drift correction, it squishes the pitch line into a quick but very audible burble. This regularly drives me crazy, and I end up removing that note from detection just to get rid of the burble. To be fair, the burble is sometimes caused by a bad punch (as it might be in this case). But I’m still looking for ways to edit the pitch line itself to get rid of the giant jump. It would be great if you could highlight a section of the pitch line, delete it, and have the software fill in a logarithmic move between the two points.

Finally! Thanks for going on real world cases and not in isolation. I always felt I'm missing important parts but I have not found any great material. Until now! Also, this is a great demonstration why you should not let the keyboard player write the vocal melodies on their keyboard.

[@mixksprod]

2 years later and still a phenomenal tutorial. Thank you!!

[@Senshobeats]

Of course! Glad it's been helpful for ya

[@galgogergo]

I specifically searched for this video in my library because I remembered there's someone who doesn't just clicks "pitch correct everything" or uses the macro slider. Ingenious :)

[@franciscohurtado3357]

dude, if I was having a tough day the way you talk would've calmed me down. Thanks for this video, amazing tips!

[@Senshobeats]

You're welcome! Maybe I have a career of ahead of me in ASMR haha

[@cosmicmatemusic]

Finally, someone that actually uses melodyne properly… no highlighting everything and clicking “pitch correct” or just simply double clicking every single note hahaha Awesome job mate !! -Newcastle, Australia

[@Senshobeats]

Exactly! Just gotta use your ears carefully. Thanks so much!

[@theend9494]

From Perth, if your job is to record artists and get paid fine, but does the artist actually pay for this painstaking process or is it a case of boys with toys, I hit the melodyne button and vala it sounds great, to say that dissecting it actually sounds more natural is debatable. Then again hard to tell when 99% of what you hear on YT is mediocre at best, hence the problem with todays music , flooded by dillusion, same when some guys are playing with the EQ, I have a great pair of speakers and I just cant hear it half the time, it is a nuance, but it looks sometimes as if they try so hard to believe their own BS

[@ko8032]

watching this vid for like a fourth time, changed how i use melodyne. thanks~ hope to see more vids

[@Vinnie-Tee]

great video! i was actually doing everything u said NOT to 😒this was clarifying and i understand what to fix. keep it up bro

[@Senshobeats]

That's awesome! Glad you found it helpful

[@TheRealSandman]

I was wondering why my vocals sounded so different after recording them & using Melodyne. I was just double clicking, pitch center & no pitch drift on everything. Going to start being a bit more deliberate with when I use it now, rather than slapping it on everything

[@MrDravenz]

been looking for this

[@poppinghouse8815]

No fluff, great tips. Hands down the most useful melodyne tutorial I've seen in a minute.

[@brylerivera402]

this is the best melodyne tutorial ive ever watched, practical, creative, and straightforward.

[@allaboutbookbinding8339]

Thank you for not shouting. Much appreciated!

[@Senshobeats]

Of course! I'm not a big shouter

[@ataylortca]

Juat had the last realization a week ago. The center of a note can be corrected pretty aggressively so long as the outsides are kept natural.

[@IrisYuvelir]

😮What an amazing video! 🤩 Real life examples coupled with down-to-earth, no bs practical tips one can actually apply! Probably the most useful melodyne tutorial on YT so far!👍 Thank you so much for this video! ❤️

[@Senshobeats]

Awesome! You're so welcome!

[@bibekpawn6175]

7:00 best good tip 7:43 ANOTHER GOOD TIP

[@xtrakev8539]

[@relaxingnature9963]

Absolutely beautiful.How cold a world without birdsong would be.

[@Pensacola2]

Holy damn only 61 subs this video is a hidden gem.

[@Senshobeats]

Appreciate you!! Glad you found it to be helpful

[@maxbladel]

Yeah this changed the way i melodyne foreal.

[@SkeletonTelevisionMusic]

You gave me confidence and results. Understanding the importance of keeping the beginning of phrases intact makes all the difference. Thank you so much. You really helped me go from wondering if I'm making a mistake to improving performances in the right way.

[@Senshobeats]

Love to hear that!!

[@enswert]

Best tip I got from this was separating the beginning

[@revisethedream8406]

Using your ears and the Alt key is what works. THANKS!

[@kernjames]

I loved your "less is more" approach.

[@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

Amazing tutorial! I’ll admit it.. I’ve been a select all, 100% correction guy. But I make and produce pop music, so it’s never been a huge issue. Well I’m currently tuning vocals for an upcoming Christmas song. Followed your steps in this video and HOLY… my vocals sound so much more natural!

[@Senshobeats]

That is awesome!! Glad this was helpful for you

[@bridgettenicolinimusic8857]

Wow, awesome, tutorial. I learned so much from this one video, Sensho. Because my vocal style has a lot of movement and bluesy, this helps to understand how to treat those notes, especially, splitting the notes to address the entry, mid and exits. Thanks

[@Senshobeats]

Amazing! I'm so glad to hear that!

[@UberTuberise]

I could listen to you talk all day. Thank you so much this was a very useful video.

[@Senshobeats]

Great to hear! You're welcome!

[@YitzyRohatiner]

thanks so much for this video. didn't find a tutorial that explained what need explaining, in the coherent way that you explained it.

[@Senshobeats]

That's great to hear! You're welcome!

[@mmish2]

I don't think I've ever commented on a video. But this was concise. On point. And extremely helpful in an otherwise deep deep software.

[@Senshobeats]

That is awesome! Thank you!

[@induction8038]

Hello you have to Update melodyne 5. The Detektion of the pitchcenter is now more to the human way we Hear it. And it Handel breath and siblim. Sorry for my bad English.

[@davidasher22]

I just realized I have been tuning vocals all wrong for the last 3 years.. smh. Thank you kind sir.. very insightful.

[@itsdawaves4199]

started my morning with these tips! thank you

[@itsdawaves4199]

you earned a sub!

[@rickelliott821]

I sent a session into Sensho for specific Melodyne vocal adjustments. Great job and the add’l mixing of the overall track was JAM! Thanks

[@Senshobeats]

Thanks Rick! Was great working with you

[@bojanpetkovic1491]

Thank you for this video 🙏

[@Senshobeats]

No problem!

[@wtfmellonbutter]

this changed my life, but it took time to really figure out what "transition point" was refering to. it would have been more easy understanding if you just used the term bending, but anyways thank u!!!

[@allengoyne]

Thank you for this useful video. I only just got Essential and after your video went to work on a song of mine which I sang. I have tried other tuning methods (Logic) and was not happy with the results. After your video, I am much happier, though I still have room for improvement on my own vocal performance. Thanks again.

[@Senshobeats]

You’re welcome! Melodyne is awesome once you get it working the right way. Let me know if you have any questions

[@chrisfg71]

Amazing tips and love your approach. Celemony needs to hire you to make more videos.

[@JordyRocksZ]

Bro Thanks for the tutorial You voice made thus whole video sound like a asmr but I still enjoyed it :) I can't wait to upgrade from essential to assistant :)

[@Senshobeats]

Haha I guess it would fall under the category of unintentional ASMR! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Senshobeats]

[@sonicpalacevideos]

Nice tutorial. I always thought melodyne sounded like a robot on crystal meth, but I see you can finesse it to sound more natural. With Pro Tools studio and Melodyne ARA, it's a game changer!

[@CourtneyOdomMusic]

Thank you for this useful info. I'm applying it to my workflow now

[@Senshobeats]

You got it!

[@ostrichunbreakable4836]

Super nuanced and informative video. Thanks!

[@Senshobeats]

No problem! Glad you found it useful

[@kennethstavis9953]

Down to earth tutorial. Pretty Straight forward talk. I am definitely a novice on stuff like this. Melodyne is kind of scary for me to tackle. I admit, I am not a techie. After your tutorial, I am not scared to try your tips and tricks on my own recordings. Teaching is a gift. Not everyone doing KZbin videos has the gift. You do! What I mean by that is - People may know how to do something but, they can't me (a non-techie) how to do it. They really can't break it down to help me to understand it. Their approach is "If I understand it, you should be able to understand it too". I had a college math teacher actually say this. Most of the students taking his class were failing and many considered dropping the course - until they found some really great tutors to break it down. Thank you for producing this video.

[@Senshobeats]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! Glad to hear that you found it easy to understand and helpful 🙂

[@kazr4853]

Top job, nice and fast.

[@fakeman6542]

I’ve been searching for a vid like this for too long, thank you!!!

[@OtterLakeFlutes]

Cool thanks for this. I was wondering about using it for Native American flute (because the notes are off unless it's 72 deg. F) but the notes are almost like a giant sibilant happening simultaneously over the actual frequency and its harmonics. It's the air rushing over the sound hole, and I don't know that it will sound great moved with the predominant frequencies because that airy rasp will get pitch "corrected" too, as if it were just more tonal harmonics of the pitch (which it's not, really). Some of the complexity is harmonics of the target pitch of the flute, but there's that airy rasp over the sound hole...

[@josephokonofua4289]

[@jeffbakermusic343]
