The secret to Melodyne is to never use the auto sliders or note snapping. Hold alt to nudge notes freely. And don't forget the pitch drift and modulation tools. All the mid note slicing you're doing is causing the robotic effect.
Very nice job! I've been using Melodyne for a few years and after watching you, I'm changing my workflow!!! I hope that you can share more tips on using Melodyne in the near future.
Nice work! Quick tip for Melodyne editing: if you can't get a slide quite right using chromatic steps, turn off the pitch grid snap to nudge it just a few cents. It's good at guessing the pitch center of a single "note", but it has no awareness of style or voice leading so this sometimes comes in handy. My opinion is that Melodyne makes lousy vocalists sound too much like they care. It's the one tool I resent because I know what good talent can do and using this seems unfair to them, but it's in every project with a singer these days.
Melodyne has saved me soooooo many times. From singers who can't pitch (or learn a melody) to creating harmonies, double tracking , tuning sax players, violins, changing decay tails on timps, tuning bassists that forgot to tune before a session (not recorded by me) and guitarists (who can't bend properly)....Loads of uses. Don't get me wrong though. I will make a singer sing in tune first and work hard. There is no substitute for good intonation, breathing technique and practise!!!! The biggest thing that I've learned from using Melodyne is that I far prefer instrumental music!
For almost 4 years I sang in a choir under a very good conductor, and I can tell you that he've been tuning us for hours and hours until after performing a whole piece we stayed in the same exact pitch as we began (without accompaniment). If we ended 1/4 halftone too low or to high - we tried again. He sometimes repeated that to the point when no one could hear or consciously make a difference anymore but him. There's a balance to be hit here and of course solo contemporary singing is nothing like choir classical singing, but I think that the singers should work it more, instead of relying on the engineers tuning it in post However - Nirvana's songs are very powerful, even if Kurt Cobain can't sing in pitch. Actually... I think they are so powerful because of that. If I could get stems I'd love to prove my point. If Kurt sang perfectly in pitch it would take away the desperate character from their music. I think that sloppy intonation is a very powerful music device too. But I prefer vocalists to do that on purpose or at least know it. Kurt knew he's not in pitch. Singing pitch is an extremely useful device and can convey many emotions. Though I still think that vocalists should be the absolute masters of that craft, and have it in control. If a vocalist relies solely on pitch correction to deliver their performance - I feel cheated, because they can't sing. I don't feel cheated by Nirvana, because they were real, and for me that's better than perfection.
It is cheating compared to a talented singer who can actually sing on pitch. it's not about ''rules'' it's about fooling the audience that you are a great singer. I wouldn't like tenors for ex. to use pitch correction, I want to hear their real voice!
Just wondering... Would maybe using a corrected line mixed with the uncorrected line work together as a sort of back up? putting both through a bus with the reverb and compression to glue them as one voice. When I produce I always mix takes together, it then becomes backups for tracks when played live... I'm of course speaking of none band type stuff, like HipHop and R&B
6:53 I am sorry but I think it's very wrong to correct a tension note like that; that b7 was clearly meant to be there - it's a half note tension resolving up to the major third of the next chord (Fdom7 => CMaj). If it doesn't come through in your mix, fix the mix, not the note. Apart from that, Melodyne seems a little bit of a pain judging from all the clicking your doing. Quite glad with Cubase's Vario-Audio. I often don't go 100% to the pitch to be closer to the "tuned" chord as equal 12 step tuning is always slightly wrong.
Realraven2000 Totaly agree. And using automatic drift correction makes the robotic feel. Sorry, but this doesnt sound natural at all. I touch every note or sometimes use automatic pitch. But drift only if needed. Much better results
Ahhhh!!.. You have great advice here, but I would never grab a handful of blobs and apply 100% correction on the whole bunch. I am even LESS heavy handed than you are.... I either double-click on individual blobs, or use OPTION-DRAG to pull it into place. It's maybe a bit more work, but I think I'm just as fast with it, and I'm not quantizing the little bitty transitions. (only sometimes as needed). I'm all for very natural sounding vocals. Good illustration of what I call "divide & conquer" for unstable notes. Great video, to see how someone else does it!
great use of melodyne! basically what you are doing is using it as an instrument, giving a helping hand and keeping the nuances that make the difference between vocaloid and a singer performing. great fan of you saying some parts feels better without it while treating others!
See, I just learned what you said for myself after spending 2 days comping vocals. I was prioritizing pitch instead of tonality. After running them through Melodyne for another couple days I came to the realization that I should have picked the parts with better tone. But hey now I know
BTW.... Why do you open that correction window and reset it to 100% every time? Just select your group and double-click. They will all snap to the line!
I'd br interested in seeing you review REAPER's ReaTune plugin. I don't like to retune vocals myself, but from what little I've done with it, I'm impressed. It actually sounds more transparent to me than Melodyne. I can hear the artifacts from that in just about every pop song I've heard in the last 5 years at least. There's a tutorial that shows you how to get started with manual correcting in the first 2 minutes. It's pretty impressive, and free with REAPER. I stopped using Logic a while ago because REAPER is so much more efficient in so many ways. I've heard you mention that you use it in your video about using 192KHz sample rates (awesome explanation of why it works better, btw-I could never see the use for it before you video, but you made it make perfect sense!), but I've never seen you actually using it. I figure it's definitely worth comparing. I hope you're okay with me putting the link here so you can get a head start on how to use it if you demo it. It's really super simple, and its just a matter of knowing which tabs to use to do the manual correction. Anyway, I think it would be great to compare it, since the whole DAW costs less than what one or two of the plugins that come with it can do. They are pretty impressive. Also, you may not know this, but if you're using REAPER, and you've got one of those plugins with the interfaces that you hate because they look like manual gear, there is a UI button you can click at the top right of the plugin window that gets rid of the plugin's skin and just lets you see all the settings as faders. Very handy for those crazy looking plugins like Waves Butch Vig's Vocals plugins, or the Slate bundle you reviewed. I hope it's okay to put the link to the ReaTune tutorial here. If not, let me know and I'll remove it. ua-cam.com/video/gCb313W6yf0/v-deo.html
i have to tune a vocal and the song change many times of key, from C maj to A maj. how do i change the key signature on melodyne? please help me. thanks!
Great motivation to use Melodyne too like you did, but your hot keys and listenings ears are much more better with more experience than my, I wish more tutorial videos from you from basics and advanced , yes I know the homepage videos from melodyne too, thanks !
I guess the 'perfect' is sort of an 'arrogance, a human haughtiness'; perfectly-aligned drums, tempos, robotic music may fit right in a perfect-mechanical world. But we're humans, and some of us ( like you and many here) have good sense to use technology without chaining our hearts. Great video!
From listening though this will be more useful than a auto tune type program.. Although WAVES does a VST more like this in their tuning setup so might try out both next to each other as the WAVES one is cheaper... Although looking at this it looks more specific than the WAVES version. Great video mind, very helpful!!!!! Love it!
I agree 100% (as usual). I use melodyne for years now (since 2007) . It's not cheating, most of the times even recording experienced technical singers, the take with the most delivery and energy is not the take where every note was pitched perfectly. What to do when you have a perfect delivery and just a note a tad off pitch? Do it again? Singers are not machines they need to rest... back on another day to redo and pay more studio hours? Nop, I use melodyne and save the day.
I understand your point and since you have to do all nessesary things to make your client please, I also undestand that there are industry standars to follow. But subjectice? No, I don't like tuned vocals and i like the imperfection. Me personally, I would sing it again until I'm pleased with the result. But maybe, I'd thonk different, if I were more into recent pop music.
Although the singing was really a bit out of tune, the note you pitched up in the chorus was more like a blue note (and probably intentional). So it was not a correction but you actually changed the melody...
My experience is that very few vocalists today are hitting blue notes intentionally. Usually it's accidental because they haven't internalized what they really mean to sing. Their transition notes are very sloppy. Changing these notes in mixing greatly depends on your relationship with the singer, and knowing if they are OK with you "co-producing" the vocal. I do it all the time, and the end result sounds better. The vocalist then hears the finished product a bunch of times, and re-learns the new way of singing it.....
Has anyone found a way to save a file (*mpd) in Melodyne then open it and make it playable? For me, in the Studio 5 version, saving a project permanently mutes the track which becomes grayed.
I've noticed that before I correct the pitch that the feeling is there and then after correction then it sounds as if I just sang it like I was bored out of my mind. It's in key though.
Hello ! I want to have a natural sound but sometimes it is so robottic when I use melodyne. As I see you took your editting back when you heard robottic sound. Is there any possible way to make it natural ?
Now we can see how _not_ to use melodyne in a natural way. Literally, it's like buying guitar to play only on first two strings. You just don't use almost all possibilities of this piece of software so it wasnt unexpected to sound like robotic unnatural shit .
I’ve seen other engineers do what you did in the beginning but don’t understand, why do split up a word just to have those segments tuned to the same note?
Oh, man! For sure the ReaTune plugin works way better, IMHO. You just tell it the key of the song, and it blacks out the notes that aren't in that key, then you just draw a line over or under the part of the note you want to correct, and, if you set the timing right and dray the correction lines so that the correction is more gentle, it doesn't have that robotic sound at all. It is WAY easier to use than what I'm seeing in this video. I think you'd really like it. It makes if very easy to leave in the character and human touch to the vocal while correcting things very transparently. PLEASE do a a review! I'm so curious to see what you think. It's so much simpler and sounds way better.
Hey man! Ik ben achter je kanaal gekomen door paul van rijnijssel, al veel van je geleerd! Evht tof! Zou je ook is een video kunnen maken over wanneer je ervoor kiest om bijvoorbeeld je avantones te gebruiken, en wanneer je die andere monitors gebruikt. Ik zie dat ze op 2 verschillende plekken staan, gebruik je die avantones dan alleen als je je console gebruikt, of doe je hem alsnog A/B’en... en wellicht andere luistertips (naast natuurlijk op zoveel mogelijk systemen proberen te checken... en ofcource je monitors gewoon goed leren kennen) Groetjes uit het mooie ernemm haha
At 6:55 you raised a note where it sounds much better, but I wonder what the artist thinks about this. This wasn't just tuning, but an artistic decision. I liked your choice though.
I don't know why I'm seeing so many comments not realizing that autotune is just as powerful manually and in fact, it can actually pitch correct a few circumstances a little bit more naturally. If you know what you're doing though.
Wytse, I really enjoy your videos, never a dull moment! .... I am an expert Antares Auto-Tune graphical tuner. I would love to make a video response to this one to feature how Auto-tune compares to Melodyne for graphical tuning (non-auto mode). I have never used Melodyne but would be interested in the differences in artefacts. Is it possible that I could get this vocal track to tune and use in the video response? All credits and links would be included in the video description. Please let me know. Cheers, Jared
Ik keek net de ''Welk platform geeft het beste geluid'' video, en ik dacht.. Die jongen is nederlands en ja hoor! Hij heet Wietze! Echt een leuk kanaal heb je en je doet geweldig werk!
I'm having a problem, i'm using it on a daw but is too slow and the worst thing is not saving... Is like is not saving the progress along the daw ... Oh man.
Mark Geuel Lim definitely better and less robotic unless you put it to the max settings, I got it when I purchased nectar 3 at a student discount, so in that case definitely
Is it ok to clip a plugin..... Like I am producing EDM.... So sometime my eq cilp.. and I just lower down the volume of synth to not clip my plugin.... But as I walking on the track the sound is going to so week..... So is it ok to clip a plugin in EDM.. please reply
If you turn it down and it sounds weak but there is only volume change then it is weak at quiet volumes. Gain stage so nothing clips and use your faders to set volume, with EQ with saturation clipping will sound different so it's what sounds good.
Is it cheating? What if you're remixing old multi-tracks and you no longer have access to the singer/recording environment etc? It's a godsend - all hail Melodyne... More power to your elbow....
A looooot of shade thrown at autotune. I think even you can appreciate the technology that is behind autotune (originally created for measuring huge wholes in the earth for oil drilling).
Whats up with your left hand? The dark thingy on your clove I think you should check it out because it could be a REALLY BAD SING OF CANCER (I heard a story about a women with a thing like that on her clove, she went to someone, asked him to cover it up and he talked her that she have cancer... creepy)
I don't think that the best way to tune vocals in melodyne is using macro's all the time. Macros aren't that accurate for correcting pitch and most of the times it sounds cheap. Start using pitch drift and pitch modulation tools and correct it manually, or watch some youtube tutorials. And after that, make a new video. This sounds shit
Yeah it looks like he just found Melodyne and messing around. It's strange that he use it that way. Atleast in a youtube video. This is not how you should use melodyne profesionally
Totally agree. I've learned a lot on this channel, but an 'advanced' video on using Melodyne naturally, that doesn't even mention the pitch drift and pitch modulation tools is pretty embarrassing. :/
its ironic but he wouldve gotten a much more natural sound using a slow auto tune lmao. auto tune only sounds "fake" when the reaction time is low. i legitimately feel like he was making adjustments FASTER than what auto tune would, completely defeating the purpose of "manual tuning"
i find melodyne affects the audio even if you haven't put any correction on. I quite often use Reatune in reaper for very natural tuning and melodyne for that pop tuned sound.
Doesn't sound natural at all. I guess you can't hear the glitches anymore as autotune is everywhere, it is encrypted in your hearing memory and unless it sounds 100% like Cher, you don't "hear" it.
That's a really rude use of Melodyne, bro. You just used the macro's, but this software gives you such more sophisticated tools that you haven't even bother to look at.
I love melodyne for automatic detection and then messing around with the midi part. As for Studio one, you just detect melodyne and then drag/drop the melodyne track onto a midi track. Fun fun fun. As for voice correction, yeah, it's cheating :-)
The secret to Melodyne is to never use the auto sliders or note snapping. Hold alt to nudge notes freely. And don't forget the pitch drift and modulation tools. All the mid note slicing you're doing is causing the robotic effect.
I have to say you are the first person to ever show me how to do melodyne without making it heavy handed and feel natural and as intended. THANK YOU!
i love melodyne because of how stealthy it can be. You can keep the feel in the performance and just tweak it to be super polished
This is a nice version of Daröde by Sanstrom.
Very nice job! I've been using Melodyne for a few years and after watching you, I'm changing my workflow!!! I hope that you can share more tips on using Melodyne in the near future.
I've had Melodyne for years and never used it - today I'm going to open it up and try to get into it! Tnx for another cool vid

Thank you. Please do a vocal video as you mentioned. Love what you do
6:53 I am sorry but I think it's very wrong to correct a tension note like that; that b7 was clearly meant to be there - it's a half note tension resolving up to the major third of the next chord (Fdom7 => CMaj).

Hi Wytse, another great video I love em all! What was that handy keyboard shortcut you used to correct the pitch? Or did you make on yourself? 😄
To my ear (6:51) he was a bit flat on the word "us" (on the first "no one can break us") but it seems that one was allowed to pass.
Is it possible to check melodyne 5
Melodyne is the most amazing pitch correction software I've ever used. It can turn a shitty vocal into a good vocal without making it sound unnatural.
Hey man! Ik ben achter je kanaal gekomen door paul van rijnijssel, al veel van je geleerd! Evht tof!

Why do you cut the words into so much pieces when there is a phrase / drift correction in melodyne aswell ?

I'm having a problem, i'm using it on a daw but is too slow and the worst thing is not saving... Is like is not saving the progress along the daw
... Oh man.
Great lesson, dank je wel ;)
Reaper 9.7 support now ARA. Maybe you should make a quick update video.
I use Logic Pro X's stock plug in: Flex Pitch .....is Melodyne better? worth it?
Mark Geuel Lim definitely better and less robotic unless you put it to the max settings, I got it when I purchased nectar 3 at a student discount, so in that case definitely
Think he’s tuned a few vocals before 😂 that’s amazing!
Great Video, one small thing, the part "it's just" at 6:59 not sure if the blue note half a step below was not the intention
What can Melodyne do what Logic Pro X 's Flex Pitch cannot do? like your videos btw.
Nice video I agree some times imperfections make a performance. In time or not.
How much we pay for melodyne?
newtone vs melodyne?
If I tune, I tune with ReaTune in Reaper. Its a very good tool and comes free with Reaper. I have the tuner from Waves and its crap.
I just put Waves Tune Real Time on the bad sections after setting the song key and call it a day.
Is it ok to clip a plugin..... Like I am producing EDM.... So sometime my eq cilp.. and I just lower down the volume of synth to not clip my plugin.... But as I walking on the track the sound is going to so week..... So is it ok to clip a plugin in EDM.. please reply
The correct answer is: The world needs less EDM.
If you turn it down and it sounds weak but there is only volume change then it is weak at quiet volumes. Gain stage so nothing clips and use your faders to set volume, with EQ with saturation clipping will sound different so it's what sounds good.
Holy shit the YEAH Dubz reference.
Is it cheating? What if you're remixing old multi-tracks and you no longer have access to the singer/recording environment etc? It's a godsend - all hail Melodyne... More power to your elbow....
A looooot of shade thrown at autotune. I think even you can appreciate the technology that is behind autotune (originally created for measuring huge wholes in the earth for oil drilling).
Whats up with your left hand?
The dark thingy on your clove
I think you should check it out because it could be a REALLY BAD SING OF CANCER
(I heard a story about a women with a thing like that on her clove, she went to someone, asked him to cover it up and he talked her that she have cancer... creepy)
Maybe I'm a bit Drama-Queen but...
I was bitten by a dog... all is okay :-)
@@Whiteseastudio What about the dog?..!!
Really? Are you from Holland? I didn't hear that.😂
does it stealing vocal track quality alot after all???
hehe just double click on notes with pitch tool selected to fix pitch
I don't think that the best way to tune vocals in melodyne is using macro's all the time. Macros aren't that accurate for correcting pitch and most of the times it sounds cheap. Start using pitch drift and pitch modulation tools and correct it manually, or watch some youtube tutorials. And after that, make a new video. This sounds shit
Yeah it looks like he just found Melodyne and messing around. It's strange that he use it that way. Atleast in a youtube video. This is not how you should use melodyne profesionally
Totally agree. I've learned a lot on this channel, but an 'advanced' video on using Melodyne naturally, that doesn't even mention the pitch drift and pitch modulation tools is pretty embarrassing. :/
its ironic but he wouldve gotten a much more natural sound using a slow auto tune lmao. auto tune only sounds "fake" when the reaction time is low. i legitimately feel like he was making adjustments FASTER than what auto tune would, completely defeating the purpose of "manual tuning"
Are you dutch because you sound like it
Ummmm....I would just like to say... FUCK YEAH!
i find melodyne affects the audio even if you haven't put any correction on. I quite often use Reatune in reaper for very natural tuning and melodyne for that pop tuned sound.
I'd rather just tell the singer to do better 😂
I love you
it's not that easy
Autotune is not automatic if you dont want it to be! It works the same as melodyne.
Ok so newtone is pretty much the same in function.
remind me autotune when i had to constantly put the retune speed tune full speed , very annoying
Coffee in a glass ? Noooo. Take a cup please. Pitch correction is ok but just for tuning. Not as an effect.
i like both ways
as a Brazilian, coffee has to be strong, and hot as hell and in a pre-heated cup... Coffee in a glass is sort of sacrilege hahahahahaa
Only Coffee :O
I think you have to improve the way you use melodyne. That robotic part was not nice. And you changed many notes the singer did it because he wanted.
where's Reaper tho...
:D
Lol @ YEAH Dubz! :D
👍🏽
Cubase, vari audio
everything I want to know you seem to make a video off. THANK GOD FOR YOUR EXISTENCE WHITE SEA!!! GOOD VIDEO...
HAHAHA nee niet sandstorm by darude, hahahaha toen ik 12 was hoorde ik die zo vaak in tutoruals
I stopped using Melodyne. To me, the interface is clunky and hard to use. They need to find a better interface.
Doesn't sound natural at all. I guess you can't hear the glitches anymore as autotune is everywhere, it is encrypted in your hearing memory and unless it sounds 100% like Cher, you don't "hear" it.
That's a really rude use of Melodyne, bro. You just used the macro's, but this software gives you such more sophisticated tools that you haven't even bother to look at.
Ben je niet?
I love melodyne for automatic detection and then messing around with the midi part. As for Studio one, you just detect melodyne and then drag/drop the melodyne track onto a midi track. Fun fun fun.
As for voice correction, yeah, it's cheating :-)
