Bro you are saving lives during this quarantine and may not even realize it. Your work is much appreciated.
Been watching your channel for a week now and I can't stop. I Love the content and how thoroughly explain the subjects at hand. I feel like I learn more in your 30 minute videos than 4 years at a college. Keep it up, you have a lifetime subscriber right here.
I rewatch this video every so often because it's the shit! Ppl don't understand the power because they don't come from the sample era. We wish we had these tools in the 90s & early 2k
Man, im so spoiled today with these tools - I get anxious thinking about how im NOT using them. I pray I can change that - I gotta find the right "reasons" and get out of the "Trap"
Didn't learn anything new myself but I'm glad you brought that to light. I dont think I've made a beat off key since I figured this shit out. Took forever for me too. You broke it down pretty great. Another plus with melodyne is it can break down any sample into midi directly and it's accurate 95% of the time. With that you're sure that even if your music isn't great, it's not bad music.
Missing-nin indeed. I cant begin to explain how i use melodyne studio. Its other worldly.
I've known about Melodyne for a while now, but I bought yesterday it because of you. That's why I gotta wait a while before I can afford Serato. I need to make more beats first (to justify). Melodyne is half price until the end of this month. That is the ONLY reason I was able to afford even EDITOR. I'm excited. Now I want to record people as well as making beats. I like recording guitar using just DI signal and then running it through Guitar Rig 5. Melodyne will even help with those pure DI tones. I can even make new chords after the guitarist is gone. You're right, people don't grasp the value. It really changes your game.
appreciate you making this series brotha... been looking for an in depth use tutorial as opposed to the marketing ones that are surface level. I just finished reading the user manual and diving into these . much love
Exactly the explanation I needed... I have an old license for melodyne I need to dust off now! Thanks
Major Key Alert...FLS tip: After you select your scale to be highlighted and laying down notes wherever you like and go to the Piano Roll menu> Tools> Limit. This will force all of your notes to the selected scale. Boom!
Werzel d'Amage good one to use 💯
Great stuff, w Serato S and Melodyne workflow... And really appreciate your approach and mentality, too.
Your pure experince ... tnx for sharing this useful and amazing tutor.
i know this is 2 years old
but i fucking love u
Wow! Amazing. Thank you soooooo much for this breakdown man. I've been trying to understand topics like this for a long time and could never get answers that made sense to me. Greatly appreciated!
FINALLY BOUGHT SERATO SAMPLER!!!!!
i smashed that vote button! thanks for the extended tutorial... i heard abt serato when u did the ableton video.
This tutorial is absolutely AMAZING, Godbless.
Gladly subscribed to your channel. Your not just flashing gear and trying to be a soundcloud legend. You actually incorporate theory, an understanding of music, and I can tell that your very compassionate. I am looking forward to viewing your previous videos.
What would you recommend for sampling? Whether it be an old record or something as simple as a pencils eraser on paper?
I’m hiphop - all of the above
Statik selectka uses melodyne for his 808 bass for layering. He showed his procedure for creating the instrumental " legendary" on the Genius channel here on UA-cam. Thank you for the insightful information brother.
Mr. Smiley 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Me too ua-cam.com/video/MH8NDOVRg3w/v-deo.html
Golden Gems. #KeepBangin!
Great video!!! Great video !!!! 👍🏽🙏🏽✌🏽️
this is crazy useful.Thanks man. Bless from LDN
I got serato, I didn't use it yet so thx for the knowledge MG!!!
3 TIME I SEE IT! THIS IS A GEM TUTORIAL! THANKS AGAIN JAJAJAJAJAJAJ
Very knowledgeable brother. Good work!
Very informative, thank you !!
Ey yo, thanks for that MeloDyne tip bro!!
GREAT INFORMATION SIR!
Jefferson Sales done a few but not there yet
Incredibly helpful, thanks.
thanks maaan! when i hit platinum status its going to be because of you!
bruuh how conveint is that...i was missing the export and repitch individual sections of the sample in melodyne part of the hack...dam a hack to reckon with..a very very MAJOR KEY component for marrying that Minor....had to big you up on this one...
Thank you for this. You are a godsend sir.
Thank u so much, this is ground breaking. Now can you make that segment into an instrument to play on my mpk ?
Yes - there’s a pitch mode for that
MG salute.. 🔥Blaze!
dope video !
Please dont solicit plugins brother. Most of my tribe buys them new / full price. respect.
what a great video, thank you so much!
🙏🙏🙏
Yo MD, maybe you can help me out. Can I get melodies sung in FL Studio converted to midi? It works for Ableton. I would like to underlay a track with basses, but I am very bad at recording basses and simply adding the desired basses would be the easiest solution. Thanks for your answer, Ben.
Yo am working on catching up on all the information you share with us.....Dam.. Samples in key trick hell yea...
Thank you for this video I'm just starting in my journey but I did play bass in HS so I do ha e somewhat of an ear but this will help me a lot more
Theoretically could I also just use newtone? The free vocal pitcher with fl studio.
Bro I love your tutorials I wish one day you make a tutorial on cubase
Thank you Amandio! Cubase is tight - But I haven't used it since 5 ... we'll see
Since you use FL, you’re familiar with NewTone right? Can it do what you did in Melodyne?
Can you do this with Antares graph editor as well? Should be able to right? Thanks in advance
yo thanks for your vids and all your work you are puttin into this :) i used your hack before but right now i started thinking - why do I have to put my so to say new, wrong sample into a relative minor/major. wouldnt melodyne be able to work with the original material that is not a relative minor/major and make it work anyhow?
thanks again for your efforts!
Awesome Tutorial! one question. how do I bring the samples on the piano roll after chopping them up?
Each pad represents a key on the piano roll. You have the record or draw them. It doesnt do that manually ...
@@MGTheFuture Thank you very very much!!! Got it!
I'm waiting to serato sample with option change scale in samples from minor to major :) I think about something like algorithm in dna melodyne.
olek olecki if its major.l.use the relative minor 🙏
you should do moe mpc studi tutorials.. I have serato sample on mpc studiowatching this to learn thank you
Great Video, can I essential do the same thing with Melodyne Essential like you mentioned in this video or do you have to actually have the Melodyne Editor? Thank you for your response!
Abm vs ab I labled my keyboard but cunfused is abm and ab the same key
wow wow wow ur the man.....
I have FL Studio 12. I wanted to try the free version from the website but when I install it and load it as a vst I keep getting an error. Is anyone else having this problem?
AAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!So mad right now!!! No Glide mode! Why???? Seriously this is a fire plugin but I cant glide thru vocals, 808s, or sample chops! This makes me HAVE TO use EXS24 still!!! SMH
Just bought serato sample and ran right to MG's channel..
You got my vote too btw bro! Good luck the beat is #Dope!!
Yeah some ppl just have a huge following. I think that if you keep up what you're doing next time you gonna be a problem for real!
The part where u get to makin all the different samples in the same key..its much easier to jus the amount of semitones u raide or lower in correlation to the "main sample melody" if u change one sample 3 semitones down then do that for the rest of the samples...now im only sayin this because since ive been tryin it that way..every sample been in sync tone wise..so no need for circle of fifths..thats only if u really wanna know more about theory..but fope tutorial tho💯💯
Very cool, thanks 🙏
I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos. Great tutorials and analysis. Thanks. My question regarding this video is what is difference between using Melodyne and just changing the pitch in ableton ala dropping it or raising it? Does it limit the sound artifacts introduced although I though ableton had the best time stretch algorithm. Thanks in advance
Melodyne is generally used to find the midi of audio, not as much time stretching...though it can. All of them have artifacts sadly
i really enjoy your break down of serato sample with FL, but i'm using the maschine Mk3... is there a similar piano with the notes listed on the keys for mk3, or a plugin you can suggest with at feature to use serato sample and have the samples in key?
Im not sure what you mean. You can use Serato within Maschine without any additional tools. Are you referring to FL studio ghost channels? The ability to see the notes of another track? If so, only FL studio and Studio One handle that at the moment, Ableton has a version of it as well.
MG The Future thank you!!! You answered the question!
To be honest, I think that why Studio One is the best DAW to do that in
In other words if my sample in serato was Ab i would go to scale highlight Major and then click G#..... Or Minor G# idk man
You sir,are a wizard 👌20:00 that's some holy grail type of knowledge 😊thank you so much. On what forum do you learn about this magic shit?
I didn't learn on the forums. But we only had forums when I started to communicate with other producers, a lot I met made it. We shared kits and info ..etc. those forums no longer exist
MG The Future ok. My handicap is that i never knew other artists and producers.. didn't even know about forums the first 10 years 😫 I would love to share ideas and sounds with like-minded people. Thanks to UA-cam and people like you, I can keep up on technology and tips and tricks.
Instagram is the new producer hangout...and certain Facebook groups. In fact, Facebook groups is the new forums, try "producer's corner" and "beat community" on FB
MG The Future I will. Thanks for the tip. How long have you been making music? Do you think it's essential to study theory? I took piano lessons for 3 months and my beats are getting so much better. But it's really expensive.
15+ years. In hip hop, we only worried about sampling. So it's hard to say, if I started again. There's loop kits these days, make it much easier
bro how do you get your notes to record from serato and add the midi to playlist?
Record the midi on your keyboard...correspond the keys to the pads.
MG The Future idk why but i cant get if to record midi notes
Great Video! Have you tried ReTune by Zplane instead of Melodyne? I find myself using it more than Melodyne as it doesn't require u to export the audio. Though it doesn't always work seamlessly but it's worth a shot before exporting to Melodyne :)
Sounds cool, first time hearing of it
Hey bro, what is the most efficient way to download videos for converting to MP3. I want to have a better workflow when it comes to sampling, Thanks!
Ezra Exan I record from my computer into a hardware sampler most times...easiest way for me.
Hmm have you done a video on that?
Sorta, but I'll make a new one ..I'll tie it in. I mentioned it my my fl lo fi course
thanks bro !
If you have an audio interface you can also run a loopback from a pair of outputs to a pair of inputs. Be very careful to avoid feedback, as you can cause some serious damage. Reason has a sampling input that is gives you a pretty decent workflow. You can patch some effects on the way from the loopback input to the sampling input. Spice things up with some saturation, adjust some EQ, etc. Then you record it into any of the sampling devices but it will have your own flavor to it, no one else will have a sample from that source the same way you do.
Im using it with just a laptop but its telling me to shift octave down when i want to randomly use any key. Any advice?
It works within a predefined key range
MG The Future so just start messing with the letters?
Not sure, it’s referring to midi notes ...you may have to draw in piano roll
which exact melodyne did you get?
King as you know by the events that transpired in the chat lately that things are not as smooth as it should. From the moment you give me a wrench I have done the best I could to Mod in righteousness and honor. I noticed a so called account (fake) some Chavez dude said "Fook your Daw". Follow by a Mod saying " how's your Spanish " with the " you can't tell me what to do" lol. I can handle a lot by this is not a good look for the channel. I have always seen your channel as a place of teaching, of higher learning and like I said I did what I could to keep it that way. My presence in the chat could be counterproductive do to the current situation. Is better for everyone that I just faded away. Some people have no Problem turning a beautiful place in to a SHIIIT hole to boost their ego and that's not me. I just want to tell you King 👑 that I'm so greatful to you for giving new purpose to myself. King if you don't see me around, it doesn't mean that I'm not there supporting you. Ones again thx so so much for everything. MGTHEFUTURE KING 👑
Is this possible if a track has drums bass synths to just pull the chords or does have to be open like in tbis example
You can try it, yes. I try my best to isolate as much as possible with other tools though - then try to get midi data of what I targeted.
MG The Future what tools are best to remove drums? And singing voices?
MG, How do you export after you've chopped the sample?
Nevermind, I figured it out, right click and bounce to new track.
Does it matter if I buy the one without “DNA” ? Thanks!
It matters
would you say that newtone is a broke man's Melodyne ? or is newtone no where near close to Melodyne ?
K Last as of now, newtone and a few others are Monophonic...and work well for that, voice and bass. But melodyne is polyphonic...so it stands out. Ableton can convert polyphonic midi..but can't adjust the audio. So melodyne stands alone currently.
MG The Future alright thanks much appreciated, keep up the good vids
How you get FL on Mac tho?
Slaps On Deck fl beta for mac.
How has it been working for you with a Mac so far ?
Yo there’s a few versions of Melodyne-do I need to get the studio one, or can I settle for any of the cheaper versions to do what you just did? I think you mention it in the video but I didn’t follow.
Peace from the Bay Area
Editor version
Thanks for the reply G I did some research last night and figured all that out. Appreciate it
do thy have it for window(Serato)
Dipset yo I can hear Cam on this
Reaper has this same thing as a stock plugin.
This is for people who? Need help finding the key to a song?
Not sure, old vid
MG The Future yo how do i record notes in fl studio with instachord? Is there a work around?
I haven't come across any good ones for that behavior. In fact, until Ableton 10, i never recorded midi from generators.
I am also a hacker with no musical training.
Mmmm $$
Bruh your voice is pitched down a half step lol
One day I’ll get that os update to fix that 🤖🤖🤖
to much just chop each sample up and pitch the key.. lol just saying to much effort
🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
