Great tutorial. I haven't experimented much because I've just used it with the use of some of your video tutorials. This video was very useful. Made things much simpler than I thought. Thanks!

It’s impressive how all you do is just explain, teach about the music stuff there, and people enjoy. It’s impressive dude. You live a life with good money on hands.

Great video. I was never a great singer even in the 80s when I was singing a lot. At 60, my voice really needs any help now. I use Assistant and these tools are great.

so helpful ! thank you! love the shirt!

Super helpful video, thank you for sharing. I have not gotten a chance to go through all the videos on this channel yet, however, something you mentioned in this video stood out. A lot of the videos I have seen have been quick tips and tutorials explaining and showing how to do specific things within Melodyne. Has it been mentioned previously about sharing videos that show it being used in actual settings. For instance, it was mentioned in this video about how Melodyne can be used in a vocal tracking scenario. Would it be possible to see videos in the future that have a focus on the application and use in an actual session? Kind of like standing behind the shoulder of the engineer and watching them work on a project.

Thank you all for everything you do and continuing to teach and help us learn. Have and awesome day brother!

2:00 the macro isn't that intelligent it's moving the notes into notes that are out of key for me, it's just moving it to the closest note even if i check snap to chord scale

[jwarvmusic]

Sometimes, the singer doesn't just sing an off note, but an entirely different one than desired. And there's no going back to re-sing it. Many times, it's so far off that when I move the blob to the correct note it has a phasing or even a slight kazoo effect. Any tips on mitigating that? Might formant help?

[officialWWM]

Wow, thanks for this. I've been using this so wrong 😂 could you please do a video on tuning instruments? Guitar for example.

[Ayuuazaki]

Hi Rich, I watched this entire series, and believe it or not, I have a question that I can't find the answer to in the manual or saw anything about it in your tutorials. Why is when when I set the key to say Eb Major (Because I know the song is in Eb) when I transfer the vocal into Melodyne, it changes the key and all the note names on the left side of the screen. Then I have to type in Eb again to change it back. It's kind of a drag, as often I'm only transferring in a section at a time so as the make the window more manageable. Is this simply user error? Or that I missed something in your tutorials or in the manual? Thanks for any information! PS. I use Melodyne 5 Editor

[watchmykicksllc]

does essential come with note assignment mode? that it'll auto suggest where to put the blobs???

[edrambeau]

I have Melodyne ARA… so is that considered essential?

[maxpino]

Hi! Can you help me? 😢

I use Reaper with Windows 11.
I don't understand why when I load Melodyne, everything works but the VST page opens in rather small dimensions and does not let me enlarge it and the typical resizing triangle does not appear in the lower right corner.
Sorry for my English and thank you very much 🙏🙂

[jive]

Is anyone here using SVP and then bring the vocals into Melodyne for further tweaking?

[adithyasatheesh]

When Melodyne gets a pitch draw tool like Autotune or repitch, it's game over for those two. The only reason I use the other two is for the pencil draw tool.

[allendesomer]

Oops.... I thought I already knew this stuff! 🤭

[helmut]

Für uns ältere wär es nicht schlecht, wenn es in deutsch wäre oder wenigstens mit Untertitel. 😢

[drampadreg]

Oh, so if you suck at singing, don't find something you are good at, just fake by a little digital tweaking . No wonder music is nose diving, no one has the talent. I heard Katie Perry's Auto tune break down live, the horror...the horror! I have heard cats getting run over that sounded better.
