Melodyne's clever optimizations for guitars

[@timgorman2090]

Melodyne struck gold when they got Rich!

[@kregtaylor]

not knowing his name at the start of this video made this comment very confusing 🤣

[@aaronmcgruder9693]

Hi Mr. Crescenti. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate these tutorials. Great Job. Thank you so much.

[@LucasMarak]

I really needed this Rich,thanks

[@cedricmialaret3300]

Rich, your tutorials are fantastic!

[@johnplainsong9769]

Brilliant as always.

[@emmittluckey8570]

Thanks Rich. I'm gonna try it tonight on a bassline I've having trouble with.

[@felixg2062]

I use both melodyne and get the output over some amp virtualization so good for solo artists or a very new band

[@41Fingers]

editing guitar, great topic and a needed one. thx

[@hoffy1003]

Good video today Rich

[@carlitoakam]

This is great, thank you Rich 🙏

[@pwgrahamster]

Great lesson! Thanks.

[@josephn3496]

This video is super helpful. Thanks so much!!

[@johnwinslow8841]

How in Melodyne do you solo play individual instrument parts in a multi-instrument, single audio file where the various instruments have been separated? Anyone?

[@TheBinaryWolf]

Love your tutorials. Have you had occasion to correct timing and pitch in a monophonic recording? I digitalized a 45rpm vinyl record, and got rid of the cackles; but any pitch or tme correction introduces artifact. Finding the bars appears impossible.

[@celemony]

A monophonic recording shouldn’t make any difference. Please feel free to get in touch with our support team, if you need assistance: www.celemony.com/support

[@Deviatilov]

Thank you bro!

[@EstoNoEsTango]

3:50 min ¡THANKS! You've got a new subscriptor. I'm going from a poor piano recording to Midi. And, of course, Melodyne detects octavations and harmonics where there is (maybe) just one note played. That's why my midi file sounds "harmonically-richer" and less louder through the VSTi. So, i should take that "octaves/harmonic energy" back to the notes that were actually played on the keyboard (which, besides, will "restore" to those notes their original dynamic/velocity). Excuse my poor english, hope i've explained myself.

[@celemony]

Any detection inaccuracies can be corrected in Note Assignment mode. Once your Melodyne blobs look like the audio you hear, the MIDI that you export will be accurate, too.

[@pohlpiano]

What about a video about using Melodyne with acoustic piano?

[@hanswurst579]

Is it possible to pitch correct a guitar solo (monophonic) in Melodyne 5 Essentials or do I need a more advanced version?

[@celemony]

Hello Hans. Yes, this is possible. You won’t have the more advanced tools like the Pitch Modulation or Pitch Drift tools, but the basic pitch of a note can be edited in Melodyne essential as well. Why don’t you download our free 30-days trial and give it a go? 🙂 See here: www.celemony.com/en/trial

[@hanswurst579]

@@celemony Great, thanks a bunch :)

[@Mdjagg]

How well does detection work when the guitar signal is coming from an amp with heavy distortion, like a Mesa Triple Rec, mic'd? Seems like a clean DI would be easier for the software, so curious its limitations.

[@TheGRider56]

How do you copy a note and place it where there are no notes? I can't seem to copy and place a note unless there are already notes to replace.

[@celemony]

You simply click where you want the new notes to appear and paste. Make sure you unselect all blobs before you paste. If this doesn’t help, feel free to contact our support team here: www.celemony.com/support

[@DominiqueChevalierGuitare]

Thank you for your tutorial, so well done ! But there is a mystery for me because at 8'30'' you show how to shrink or to stretch notes to a different place with commands shift C et shift V. And at the end at 11' you show with the same commands something opposite because the notes you copy keep the same space without stretching. So what is the difference between the two processes ? Thank you if you have the time to answer me (or someone else ?)

[@celemony]

They both stretch to the target notes. However, in the second example, the target passage is roughly the same length, so you might not notice the time stretch just as much.

[@josephn3496]

I have a vocal part where the grey area on the blob is splitting the actual note. So there is a weird gap in the vocal. Does anyone know how to extend the grey area behind the blob?

[@stephenmcnamara9928]

Why are the actual notes located in the wrong lane of the Piano Roll? For instance, the A-flats are all in the "G" lane. Other than this confusing part, GREAT video as always.

[@celemony]

In this video, the pitch background is set to ‘Key’ to reflect the song key. But you can easily set it back to the ‘Keyboard’ display of a standard piano roll, if you prefer. This is all done in the Pitch Grid drop-down menu, i.e. the clef icon in the upper left corner of the editing area.

[@JoelHernandez-vs1kn]

Thanks!

[@godbyone]

Can u give each guitar string tone ??? So I can tune mine to

[@celemony]

Not sure we understand your question. Can you elaborate?

[@HansHenningThomas]

great, thx !

[@ElDuke1612]

What version of melodyne is this?

[@celemony]

In this video it’s Melodyne studio. But polyphonic note editing is also available in Melodyne editor.

[@nk1000]

Awesome! Could you please let me know your hot-keys for Melodyne?

[@celemony]

Hey Nikita. Have a look at the Melodyne Preferences window under “Shortcuts”. You can even define your own shortcuts there.

[@danielhernandezpausa9605]

Can't learn enough Melodyne

[@carljohnsonmusical]

How to tune vocals like justin bieber. His voice sound like robotic, natural and very smooth ( peaches song, hold on song ) . Please upload a video how to tune vocals like him. Pleasee bro

[@celemony]

If you want to sound like Justin Bieber, it helps to be Justin Bieber. 😉 There’s no special Melodyne trick to it.

[@carljohnsonmusical]

@@celemony no i am not mean that. How to tune vocals that sound like robotic without changing my voice. That wanna sound like me

[@celemony]

If you want to sound robotic, start by reducing (or removing) any vibrato with the Pitch Modulation tool. Furthermore, try experimenting with the Formant tool. Hope this helps.

[@carljohnsonmusical]

@@celemony thank you

[@PeterGlass524]

This video is very disappointing. It seems to me that these "guitar" lines were not played on a guitar. Rather, they were generated by a MIDI software instrument. Whenever I record a guitar chord there's a ton of artifacts scattered all over the grid that show up in Melodyne. This is true with a clean electric guitar or even an acoustic guitar. Another indicator that this "guitar" is really a software instrument is the fact that the starting time of the notes in the chords are exactly the same. When you play a chord on a guitar there's a bit of differential due to the fact that it takes time for a pick to traverse the distance between the strings. In addition, the repeating line shown at the end of the video is just too perfect. It sounds mechanical. In other words, this little tutorial is all but useless because it does not depict what you get from a physical instrument played by a human being.

[@celemony]

Thanks for your comment, Peter. This is actually a real guitar. If your recording doesn’t look like this in Melodyne, it might need some tweaking in Note Assignment mode first. Feel free to talk to our support guys, if you need assistance: www.celemony.com/support. Thank you!

[@ozmusic3035]

Another way to do’it is to work on your guitar part or get a better guitarist

[@mikegonsolin1]

Thanks Tom Segura!🙏🏻

[@5urg3x]

Congrats, you turned a unique guitar performance into a repeating robotic synth loop. This is why modern music sucks.

[@chriszitta]

thats one of the reason music sounds so boring these days. imagine doin this to keith -:)

[@PASHKULI]

cookie-cutter music, the copy-paste generation is here
