Using Melodyne ARA 2 In Pro Tools | Radium POW!

[@grantkellermusic]

This may be my favorite thing Avid has implemented in years.. FINALLY I don't have to commit melodyne every time I make changes

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

FACTS bro! I'm so hyped on this

[@RobinZV1]

i’ve always just gotten the top version of melodyne so, studio, and i’ve ONLY used it for melodic vocal tuning! (yeah, i know…) anyway, your video was the key to unlocking the understanding for this. thanks so much dude!

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

So happy to help! Share the show if you don't mind? Cheers!

[@MattsterFelix]

Im super happy Im really happy AVID has implemented this FINALLY !!!

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

It’s pretty awesome, killer for workflow!

[@frequency215]

Thankyou so much for sharing 🫡

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Cheers! Hope it was helpful!

[@slatzmusic]

This is so dope. Thanks for the insights bro

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Cheers fam! Thanks for showing some love!

[@tmuglobal]

Love the music G 🔥🔥

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Yo! That means a lot…. Been putting in work on these records!

[@canuteneilellis1928]

Awesome 👏🏽 Bradley 👏🏽

[@matteogalesi7761]

Finally ARA2 ! But, we should be able to get the floating window back because the strip at the bottom is clumsy, especially as they have not integrated the zoom tool and navigation feature (IE click anywhere into melodyne to start playback from that point)

[@velierisim]

Studio One integration is same if not better.:) But good news for industry standart folks.

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

Thanks for the demo. Can you use elastic audio for time correction and melodyne at the same time?

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Absolutely... Just be careful with phase issues

[@ottestad]

Love this. Thanks for showing us. Do you commit your changes on, lets say, a lead vocal or do you just leave it hanging right there in Melodyne/ProTools world when you mix finals? thanks

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Great question! I typically duplicate the track to keep all tuning in place in case I need to go back... Hide and make that track inactive, then commit the melodyne on the other before mix.

[@ottestad]

@@RadiumRecordsHollywood thank u sir

[@DeuZuLivE]

Let's say I have deleted just one vocal part in the melodyne window, this deleted part will become mute in the project, but now I want to record a new part and add only this new part to the melodyne window, along with the rest of the track that had already been detected. Isn't this possible using ARA? I can only do this in the old system with the "transfer" button.

[@suncworm]

If you had to choose, would you prefer melody me or auto tune graph mode?

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

I like both. They’re different for sure and have different sounds…

[@esper_wav]

Finallyyyyyyy

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

It’s much better than just ara…

[@jmclane27]

hell yes. was hoping and waiting for this update

[@camshash]

Great video, are you able to open melodyne in a separate window like before? I find the pop up menu is too small. Kinda weird you can open the midi editor in a seperate window but not melodyne

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Absolutely! That would be a nightmare if you couldn't!

[@camshash]

@@RadiumRecordsHollywood Do you know the command for it? Ive been searching but have been unsuccessful

[@parryjack6057]

@@camshash Control + Option +8

[@camshash]

@@parryjack6057 cntrl + Option + 8 only opens up the pop up menu, not a separate window. The pop up menu doesnt go fullscreen either.

[@nyambe]

What version of Melodyne is included with Protools studio?

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

The basic essential version

[@jmclane27]

it's the essential(base version) but if you think you'll use it often, it would be worth it to upgrade it one or two versions.....holiday sale coming soon I'm sure. totally worth it for frequent editing

[@nyambe]

@@jmclane27 I will keep an eye

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

My Melodyne is active yet when I right click on track to choose edit, EDIT IS GREYED OUT.

[@displayname8848]

It would be cool if Pro Tools could detect the chords and put them in the chord markers.

[@ernieg]

Does vocal align work like melodyne now ?

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

They have a new product out…. I’ll do a POW soon on it and compare to melodyne

[@RobnDob]

ara put protools back on top and effectively gives a better alternative to TCE

[@jmclane27]

I can honestly say, this was like the only real complaint I've had about protools over the last couple years. The melodyne process was very obnoxious and not optimal for a fast and efficient work flow. I have a perpetual license I stopped updating about a year and a half ago. I've been perfectly content....but I had to buy back in just for this year with this update. I'm thinking I won't need to update again for at least 5 years or so. I refuse to subscribe lol. thanks for the mini tutorial on the update!!

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Yes!! It’s a MASSIVE update and improvement for us all

[@michaelmertens813]

Years, if not a decade later! So late, it´s embarrassing..The guys at Avid really do have the reaction time that defies description. On top of that, they are always guaranteed to come up with the most untimely products, while the market has moved on to an entirely different place already. They are obviously clueless about the shift in pricing policies, as a reaction to the fundamental change in the music and subsequently, the audio industry. Amazing how they are still offering decade old DSP Cards for a price, that could buy you a High Performance Mac Studio Computer with M1 Ultra chips. What do they actually think? That nobody notices this? The Avid board of directors must be the most clueless in the world. ( Hardcore Pro Tools user here, btw)

[@sickmessiah]

Presonus was first . lol

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Yep... But then again most studios in the world ain't runnin on "presonus"...

[@sickmessiah]

@@RadiumRecordsHollywood Because it’s not one of the first DAW’s that’s been milking the industry for over 30 years. lol. I get it. People are invested in the ecosystem and workflow. lol

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

@@sickmessiah I'm not arguing with you... But I will say that Pro Tools is one of thee best with audio editing, waveforms, mixing, routing, mastering, offline processing, and a ton more... There are reasons why it is the software in every studio, it's not just "the way it is", they do a lot right and people hate on them for not too many good reasons.

[@sickmessiah]

@@RadiumRecordsHollywood I’ve owned pro tools for over a decade. Used it on a few projects. It’s a very buggy software dude. Very expensive buggy software that was once a very long time ago ahead of the game. Once they dominated the studio market and sold to avid they haven’t invested much into developing the software anymore. As a “ standard “ they left room in the market to get surpassed in stability, cost effectiveness and efficiency of workflow.

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

@@sickmessiah Disagree. Also, don't assume I haven't used pretty much every other DAW on the market... Include Studio One.

[@dennisramirez1989]

Can't find Cubase in any studio? 😂😂 Best joke i heard today 😅😅😅

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

Wait... Did you actually listen? "You're not going to find Cubase in every studio..." Do you really think Cubase is in every studio in the world?

[@dennisramirez1989]

@@RadiumRecordsHollywood Yeah. i watch the whole video because i also using melodyne. great video of yours actually. i say best joke i heard today because i think is it really necessary to mention cubase for this? 😅 what's for?

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

@@dennisramirez1989 Because Cubase and the other DAW's that integrated ara 2 years ago are just not being used in most recording studios in the world... So, I wanted to address that idea that most people will be thinking about all the DAW's that have had this integration for years already.

[@RadiumRecordsHollywood]

I could've mentioned Digital Performer as well! But the point is... Do you even know what DP is?? Everyone knows Pro Tools because it literally is in EVERY studio, regardless of taking them too long to bring this integration.

[@jmclane27]

@@dennisramirez1989 definitely have been in a lot of studios.......never once ran into cubase. The only other daw I've seen is commercial studios is maybe LOGIC and even that is RARE. like it or not, Protools is still number one
