Ableton is 20 times more simple than this proTools masquerade
Still not working for me. Why is the simple process of cutting and pasting so unintuitive in Melodyne?
Sorry it’s still giving you trouble! Most times if it isn’t working for me it’s bc I have a waveform selected within melodyne. Make sure to click outside of the wave forms (in the white and grey space) to deselect all before pasting.
Video starts at 1:20. It's a 15 second intstruction. shut the fuck up
Seems like I cannot find the right way of printing a Stem. Stem should be only 1 stereo track with all individual tracks from that instrument group. I hope you will see this and reply. How to properly export Stem if my signal flow is Audio track > Aux > Stem > 2 Track > Print? Let's say I have 8 drum tracks (Kick, snare, toms...) all going to an Aux Track (Drum Bus) with some processing on it, then Drum Bus goes to Drums Stem and then Stem goes to 2 Track (Mix Bus) that have processing on it and then it goes to Print (Stereo Out). My concern is that processes on the Mix Bus won't react the same if I solo the Stem for printing as they would react to a whole mix going through. I hope this makes sense
This is a great question and unfortunately, you're 100% correct - mix bus processing is reacting to the entire mix and will react differently if you solo stems or groups of tracks through it. I recommend printing your stems at the source (kick, snare, etc) as well as at the group (drum bus) and give whoever you are collaborating with both options. Mix bus processing will always need to be a combination of all tracks, and happen at the true end of your signal chain. In that case, might be best to screen shot your settings and note your thought process for whoever you're collaborating with to apply on their end. Hope this helps!
I downloaded and installed everything, now how do I access the interface? Do I need to install a different program to be able to use it?
What DAW are you working in?
@@MichaelWuerth I`m completely new to auto tune. I went and downloaded the trial version, I'm not sure if they give me a interface or I need to use it with another program.
ooo thanks for that key command! i was hoping this would make things easier and faster! i've been using pro tools for 25 years now (well on and off lol) and i never knew about this. granted most plugins i automate i have already done in a template setup (reverb and delays mostly) but this could make some effects a lot easier. if i was doing EQ automation i usually just make a special region for it and do a region based effect for it, but for EQ sweep effects this could provide useful, though i don't use those that much in my productions.
Happy you found it useful! Thanks for the positive feedback :)
How did you get it to work that long without it crashing your DAW? I can’t use autotune for more than five minutes without it completely freezing my session. As soon as I looked it up, everybody’s having this issue apparently, but you didn’t. How?
I wish I knew! I’m pretty sure for the sake of this video I was only really running it on a single track. When I’ve got auto tune on a bunch of vocals like backgrounds and harmony stacks it definitely slows down the computer, but bumping up the buffer can help there!
Purchased MELODYNE advanced. IT WAS TERRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY. worst GUI ever ! unreadable, counterintuitive, ugly ! This program looks like made for Windows 3.1 when opened on my 5K monitor, it is simply a trash! there is a functionality, but the GUI is absolute trash ! They have not changed or improved ony thing in 10 years :-(
Sorry you’ve been having a rough experience with it!
great video! simple and on point, we love it
Thanks so much!
Amazing breakdown of the mastering process! Teaches so much about using subtle compression and dynamic EQ to shape the sound. Thanks for sharing your techniques!
Thanks for watching and for such nice feedback! :) happy you enjoyed the video
Mike, Great tutorial.
Thank you Troy!
Buuuuuuut then you can’t do delay throws or ride the send fader?
You’re totally right! And in those situations I’ll do the traditional way and set a dedicated send up. This helps me quickly get rolling and recall the sounds I reach for 90% of the time tho!
thx for solving my panic
You’re so welcome!
Idk what this dude’s talking about but I’m here for it!
Haha I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
I was just debating on changing out h-delay with a different delay plugin today. Its been rather stale sounding on my send channels…but I’m going to try adding stereo imaging before. Great content thank you 🙏
Thanks! And yeah I hear you - H delay has been my go to for so long! I love it for ease of use with simple delays. When I’m looking for more vibe I’ve been reaching for guitar delays with tape emulation lately and it’s been pretty cool!
This one's one of you're best, great tip!
Thank you so much! What did you connect with most about this video topic?
@@MichaelWuerth the simplicity of it, and yet it has a major impact on the final results. I'm testing this on a project tonight.
Nice
no way, the eq determines what frequencies are adjusted? huge news
Truly groundbreaking stuff
Thanks
What's the song in the background of this?
Thank you didnt know that eq is before
It’s not a hard rule, but thinking of it in this way has helped me dial in tones that I’ve been really happy with!
straight to the point, cohesive and comprehensive and no-bullshit tutorial. Can't thank you enough. What went from random button mashing, knob turning and praying it sounds right- is now with clear purpoise and understanding. Don't even get me started on the graph mode, this video made me feel like becoming fluent in chinese
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words and valuable feedback
Gee, I live in the USA, sounds familiar
Buddy why are you rushing though this. This is obviously a major issue and you are doing everyone a disservice by going about teaching in this manner. Its just as frustrating as the problem itself 😂. Come on buddy.
Oh yeah definitely too fast 😆. Early vid of mine - finding my pacing. Appreciate the feedback though, bud!
How do you copy the correction into vocals that repeat themselves again in the song?
I believe you’d have to print or render the vocal and then re-copy the tuned version later in the song where they repeat
This procedure does not seem to work with PT 2024.3.1... the menus are different and the option to relink in the New Workspace popup when you right-click does not exist. What version of PT are you using?
Thanks for pointing that out! This video is a little older now so it was likely a previous version. I’ll try to make an update soon and link to it here 🙏🏻
Session Audio Files folder is missing in the Workspace..?!
so clear❤tnx
Thanks for watching!!
How are you not more famous
That’s very kind, thank you! Working on it!! 🙏🏻
how you drawed the sine wave in ?
Yep definitely doesn’t sound the exact same 👍
It doesn’t. You just have untrained ears homie.
Its not, you just cant hear it because you dont work with music😅
Hi, is this feature of syncing harmony vocals available in melodyne assistant ?
You people out there don't be afraid of doctoring up all those bimbo wanker singers for the simple reason that once the whole world sings perfectly in tune that's when the novelty of perfect pitch will wear off and become so pedestrian that the first dude that releases a song slightly out of tune is going to be a total hit. For the same reason punk music could never have happened back in the 50s when everything was lo-fi but it was a huge success in the 70s.
On the contrary, uaing Melodyne has taught me in linear form, where I'm flat/sharp etc, huge help to improve my vocals in a way that just makes sense.
That’s a really great point! Tuning my own voice and understanding things like transitions and where I land, and vibrato, has also helped me with my singing as well
What version of Melodyne is this? I can't see the pitch correction tool on the essential version
I don’t believe essential has the option to change tools. Tho most pitch correction functions should be available with the multi tool!
@@MichaelWuerth awesome video I just don’t wanna pay the upgrade to get that important feature lolll thank you!
@_King_J_ I totally hear that! I’ll try and make a video optimized for essential sometime soon! 🙌🏼
Thank You!
Thank You!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
just trying to figure out how you got both tracks into melodyne
hey great video! is this the protools version with melodyne integrated? thnx
Hey! I think in this case I was using the plugin version and not the integrated ARA version in Protools. To get multiple tracks in the melodyne window you just need to put melodyne on those other tracks in Protools and you’ll have the option to toggle visibility on inside of melodyne
I see, thanks
Thank you for your help with this. It's not easy to see that there is a check box which needs to be clicked next to the volume folder for the linking to work and your video showed this clearly.
Happy you found it helpful! Thanks so much for the feedback :)
Just getting into this thanks alot
No prob! Happy you found it helpful!
❤
🙏🏻
Great tutorial, I learned a lot!
Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback! Much appreciated!
dude slow down! why do you talk like that gross
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I’m fairly new to mixing. If you have a stereo aux track as say an instrument sum channel or a bus for other processing to a group, that track just has audio running through it but it’s not physically represented on the track in the session right? If you wanted to include one of these in your stems, would you then have to arm the aux track and print it? Would you do this in a normal session even if you weren’t sending stems?
Not a silly question at all! Thats a really good question. So you are correct that Aux tracks are sort of pass through tracks. They don't contain audio as you cant record to them directly. But they're great for sending audio through as either busses for groups, reverb and other effects, instrument tracks etc. I don't normally print my effects in a mixing session unless I was sending them off for someone else to mix and then yes - you'd need to print them as a "Reverb Stem" to have it be included. I will sometimes print instrument tracks though as a way to commit them and future proof a potential plugin not working with later versions of an OS or something. That way I have my sounds committed to audio files and not stuck in midi going through a plugin. Hope that helps!
@@MichaelWuerth this is incredibly helpful and detailed thank you! Your channel is fantastic! for your snare or overhead example, where you have two channels blended in one, you one have to print that blended aux track first? Thanks again!
@nicholasvegas2899 thank you! In those cases I print both snare tracks (top and bottom) on their own, and then print the group (snare aux) as well so the mixer has the option to make their own combination, or use mine if they prefer.
@@MichaelWuerth that makes perfect sense thank you!
so what are stems?
Congrats Mike, I had no idea you were doing this! Keep it up! :)
Thanks Dom!!
Great stuff, the actor-singer analogy is a bit of a reach because an actor’s occupation is literally to pretend to be something they’re not; otherwise they’re literally not acting. For vocalists it’s the complete opposite, their occupation is to be themselves in the rawest form-their voice. They’re expected to be authentically them, displaying their true capability as a vocalist. If THEY are acting then they’re failing at their job. In short, an actor is SUPPOSED to fake, a vocalist is not. I’m not against vocal tuning btw, I use auto-tune & melodyne to clean stuff up, just felt the need to expound on that comparison.
I appreciate your respectful point of view, and good point! I think for me it just comes down to the medium of a recording vs a live performance.
