Hey Josh, thanks a lot for this video! Great to see you like working with Melodyne. :) If you want to speed up your Melodyne workflow, you could make yourself familiar with a few keyboard shortcuts (e.g. switching tools). Keep up the good work!

[@goku21youtub]

the only thing which sucks in melodyne is the key-detection, not only would choosing in a list of all available scales to quick align be a killer feature for all electronic and remix producers , but also because key detection is often wrong, so its really needed anyways.

[@celemony]

Melodyne actually comes with a huge selection of scales to choose from. But usually Melodyne is pretty good at finding the song key. The correct detection depends on the number of different notes that Melodyne can find in your material. Obviously, a melody with only three different notes is more ambiguous than one that has all the scale notes in it. If you need further assistance with Melodyne, please feel free to contact our Tech Support: [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@rickyarte]

hi dear! is that possible tune the note manually, like auto tune, like put C E A etc... here i can´t see this possibility

I'm actually learning music for score to my future film. I mostly watch you tutorial so cool and easy. one again thanks.

[@joshuawalker3935]

This was extremely helpful! I had not used Melodyne in years and this instantly put me back in the game.

[@youssefnasser7400]

Can't deny how much I love these videos. Very informative and so good at explaining. Thank you!

[@eli_dayo]

"whyy do we always have to say goodbye " love it

[@DHTokyo3915]

At some point you mention how you're not the best singer out there and how it forces you to change a lot of things with Melodyne. Well, you not being the greatest singer is EXACTLY why this tutorial is useful. Thank you for the detailed explanation, watching your video was a time very well spent !

[@OFFICIALTAEIO]

Your videos have helped me tremendously with many things regarding mixing. Thank you for sharing some knowledge.

[@49Macman]

I like that you explain at the beginning which version you are using. Thanks.

[@Jasonlovesmusic559]

Great video! I just got Melodyne and was trying to figure out basics, and this is so helpful!

[@LastCallComedy]

Very nice brother. continued success and blessings your way.

[@getyalife5200]

Nice tutorial... I noticed that Melodyne is very integrated with Presonus studio one DAW.. You don’t have to hit transfer - you click “edit with melodyne” and it sets the whole thing up ready to go...and you can hit space bar to play n stop. Or if you’re working in other DAWS just solo the vocal track then use the space bar to play n stop (I think that’ll work)

[@SidneyAugustoDaSilva]

Your videos are just great! So helpful and full of info! Cheers from Brazil!

[@leonardmalm9459]

Nice tutorial! But the "S"-sounds really should be cut off the note prior to changing the note pitch. They hardly contain any pitch information and will sound "screechy" if moved with the rest of the note.

[@leonardmalm9459]

In fact, cutting off all consonants at the beginning and at the end of words is recommended to minimize audible artifacts.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Thanks, I'm aware of that. But this is a basics video I didn't want to get into that here. Perhaps I'll do a video where I cut out the consonants to demonstrate that.

[@Jack-4242]

but i think voiced consonants like z, l, m still have a pitch. you can sing just with "m" for example, but with s or f i think it is impossible, they are like white noise and have no real harmonics.

[@peterveer7798]

[@_inspiritandintruth]

Great video! Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial.

[@muzikm8ker]

Great Video, very easy to follow!!

[@johnfeodorov]

Very informative, thank you. I'm using a trial version of Melodyne 4 and it seems worth the $99 for the basic version. Logic X's flex pitch gets frustrating, often leaving digital artifacts or that dreaded robotic sound. My hope is that Melodyne will do a better job being more subtle. Thanks again!

[@svetlanarozhkova9502]

Thank you so much for such helpful tutorial!!! Especially the trick with the starts of the notes (smth like 'scoob' as far as I can hear). I have a lot of such notes in vocal and was completely confused how to tune them)

[@dorcap7]

Pro Tools Asks you if you want to bounce the file in mono, multiple mono or interleaved (1 stereo). Plus you can consolidate inserts in Pro Tools. Thanks for the tutorial! very helpful.

[@sarahtonin4649]

I've no experience with Logic, but the integration of Melodyne is pretty different in Studio One. You can take any track or clip, right click, and select "edit with Melodyne" which quickly detects the notes and opens the editing window. The functionality within Melodyne seems to be the same, but after you're done, there's a faint purple line in the clip, indicating at a glance that it's been "Melodyned." If you need to adjust something, you just double click on the clip and you're back in the Melodyne window. If you decide for some reason you need to go back to the original audio, you just right click on the clip and select "remove Melodyne." When I'm done editing with Melodyne, I like to bounce the clip or the track, just to make sure the changes are stable, and to reduce the CPU load. I guess it would make sense that the implementation of Melodyne might be different given the differences in software of the various DAWs, I'm just glad it's so easy in mine. :-)

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Yes, studio one is the only DAW to integrate it like that, that I know of. With Pro Tools, Logic, and others, you have to load it as an audio FX plug-in.

[@JasonFarnham]

Great tutorial of Melodyne 4 Studio!

[@NickShillitoMusic]

Fantastic video. One question - do you know how to avoid the slight sonic artefacting which occurs at 12:29 on the word "say"? It only sounds very subtle here but I recognised it instantly because I've come across it countless times to much more extreme degrees when pitching vocals in Melodyne. The sound kind of becomes squelchy and fizzy sounding. Any idea how to avoid this?

[@Imarielvargas]

Really helpful! Thanks, God bless!

[@danboniface914]

This is the best video Ive seen on how to use this plug in - thank you. Need your advice - Im using Presonus Studio One Pro and got the Melodyne Assistant Version. Would it be a good idea to do a complete mixdown of all of the music tracks, and then import that into a new session to record all of the vocals over? I say this because I want to lower the music a half step so its more within my vocal range. Also, I have about 8 vocal backing tracks I need to do. Thanks!

Great tut bro, thanks.

[@baller420]

thanks. you make it seem so easy

[@KipCount]

Thanks for the video. I used to use Melodyne Editor 2. Unwisely sold it off. Currently have Essential but am looking to step up to Assistant or even Editor 4. Which parts of this video CANNOT be done in Assistant? From what I'm reading everything you did in this video can be done on Assistant except for the Scale Detective stuff. Let me know if I've got that correct. Thanks again, great walkthrough. I've been using Waves Tune for a while and like it, so I forget the workflow in Melodyne a bit (I don't use Essential, way too limited).

[@gallardoy9211]

Do we need to know the chords on the piano to learn how to use melodyne?

[@RecordingBlog]

Great tutrorial, thanks a lot. Can you (or anybody out there) tell me, what makes Melodyne superior to the logic-implemented flex-mode?

[@emreuludogann]

what is the difference between note assignment mode and pitch correction then?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Note Assignment mode allows you to correct Melodyne's interpretation of the the material. For example, with male singers, sometimes Melodyne will assign notes to the wrong octave. It confuses the 2nd harmonic for the fundamental sometimes. So you can go into Note Assignment mode fix the analysis, then go back into track and tune the vocal.

[@benchang1022]

I can’t sing on note if my life depended on it. Great vid. I can finally bring out my ideas on digits.

[@harambo88]

try some tutorials, real singing is much easier than learning to pitch-correct/autotune. not joking, after two years you are a decent singer, after 5 i still can not remotly use pitch-correction without everything automated. my ex sings opera, shes doing it for over a decade now. just start about pitch-corr and she gets angry sooo overhelmed she gets. remember, it was made to dig oil and someway they made it a musical device.

7:31 When T-Pain stubs his toe

[@Jassintio]

great video! but the tuning of the vocals are always after tu finish the song and everything or it can be before you star the beat so you are ready everything in tune?

[@TooruOfficial]

Quick question. Sometimes I do acoustic recordings, guitar and voice per say, and the guitar might be off tune by idk.. 15 cents. How do you fix the scale detune so that when you go to pitch centering, it corrects it straight ahead to the 15 cents detuning? Had trouble with that and for that particular example i had to correct sillable by sillable, manually; but i'm sure there's a faster way to do it! @musictechhelpguy

[@ivanmak9246]

its the really really really good explanation thank u, man!

[@trox6512]

Hey man, really great videos been supporting u since 2014, u deliver always quality. thanks..... I had a question thats bothering me for long time now and i seem cant find answer for it... so i thought why not, maybe u can help me eventually.... when u record vocal does each phrase/word have to start or be on the beat ? i mean whats the basics how a vocal should sit on the grid in the program ? is there any theory for this? is just that each time a word starts had to be on the beatline straight ? thanks again!

[@glenallan6279]

Why don't you emphasize the use of the right click contextual menu in this plugin? It's super handy, and honestly i wish Logic would adopt a similar approach with tool use, with whatever other contextual items below.

[@ahockeymanmanman]

thanks a lot josh

[@anniiaha]

I do the scoop when I sing lol...this was life changing

[@LisaMurphy]

I sing to instrumental tracks that are pitch altered before I lay down my vocal. So it's all going to be slightly off from the conventional chromatic scale. So I'm wondering how the program is going to handle this. That said, I would think if a singer is singing to a guitar that may be a little off the pitch too, so how does the program deal with that?

[@nicholascowan1731]

Lisa Murphy it shows you the cents that it's off by, you can use a cents/hertz chart to figure out where to put ebruthj f

[@ChrisSunk]

Can you pitch shift live vocals in with Melodyne?

[@JoelBrandonMedia]

Hey man, do you think it's worth it to get Studio vs Editor? Seems like Editor is fine unless you want to do multitrack stuff

[@jenniferyuqizhang]

Great tutorial! One question: How do I untune a single note (or a few) after I have tuned everything? Many thanks! I subscribed! :)

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Right click on the note, and you'll see some options to undo the various parameters... pitch, timing, etc.

[@jenniferyuqizhang]

@@MusicTechHelpGuy thanks so much! I did right click actually! But I only saw the option to undo all pitch correction. May I email or Instagram/Facebook you pls? :)

[@jenniferyuqizhang]

Wow I just checked your other tutorials and you are beyond amazing!:) I feel so honored getting your reply. I am a bamboo flutist, singer and songwriter. As covid hit, I am learning how to record myself at home. I am happy to pay for your advices as my gratitude if you have the time. Many thanks again! 🎶❤️🙏

[@jenniferyuqizhang]

I just went to your website and found your email: [e-mail] (lol I am a detective).

Have a wonderful wonderful day! ❤️🙏💃🎶

[@dediibanez]

this is useful tips for me ... thanks

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Wish they would please give us a Pref setting to "ignore" or "snip" breaths & esses! The software already detects & shows where they are... (as in not a pitch)... so why not just give us a button? That will save so much time. I've been using it since it came out and love it, but this is a no brainer.

[@vittogol]

I don't knwo but I don't see much difference from doing this with Logic Flex pitch options. Overdoing this make in any case the recording unreal and I prefer to record i again or leave it with authentic little issues. Thanks anyway for the video.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

+vittogol the problem is that logics fled pitch is extremely inaccurate and causes much more noise on the signal. To the point where I just can't even use it.

[@ImNaviar]

My experience with Flex Pitch is that it introduces artifacts, whereas Melodyne doesn’t. I like the Flex Pitch interface more though; I just wish it didn’t introduce those artifacts.

[@anugrahgideon]

thanks a ton . very helpful

[@jaredholton3145]

Great tutorial! Question for you though. When I'm tuning notes in melodyne, sometimes notes that don't have a lot of energy in the middle/average of note seem to be corrected very poorly. For example your "bye" and "live." Any suggestions on how to handle notes that the intended pitch winds up being at the "peak" of the waveform?

[@TrippleOptix]

I just started toying with melodyne & I can already see the potential it has for sample based hip hop beats! I made a violin loop sound like a violinist playing over the beat in about 25 minutes! I could see it working well for guitar & flute loops too! Just transfer the loop into it 4 or more times & change some of the notes around each time & it’s no longer just a loop! 😉
