that lesson on allowing the emotion by not overzealously centering notes is the best example of anything I've ever seen

[lewiel]

Finally a freaking tutorial that doesn’t teach and go through its lesson as if we’re both on the same level of understanding! Thank you so very much for your due diligence, musical prowess, and your natural way to teach and inspire others to learn. You’re gonna put all the other guys out of business. Chef’s kiss.

One thing blows my mind. Melodyne is one of the best and most using software according to pitch correction in the world, but there are so few comments and likes. Lets hype this channel! :D Rich is always so great there.

[PelicanMultimedia]

Rich, great job as usual. Every time I watch one of your videos I pick up another tip or two. The Melodyne user interface looks so simple but is INCREDIBLY powerful under the hood.

[claudebourguignon]

Thanks for this video. I'm just a guy paying music with friends and according to my needs, it's a perfect video. You take your time and explain simples things that I will use.

[BenCaesar]

Nice update on the editing and production value of the videos 👌🏾

[allenhuffman]

When I discovered Melodyne and its ability to edit polyphonic audio, it was one of those “this is impossible” moments. I cannot imagine not having it. Even after owning it since maybe 2009 or so, I still am learning things it can do.

[scottlarock]

Thank you for making this video! I feel like you guys were sensing my need and jumped to the rescue!
Okay time to watch. :-)

[michaos]

2:10 is the absolute truth, i totally agree, and you sold Melodyne to me although i've already bought it:)

[offthecufff]

so happy to have learned from rich directly in class. hes a great teacher!

[jimfogle]

Excellent video presentation. As a person that is new to Melodyne using Melodyne Essentials I appreciate using Essential to demonstrate both the interface and the user tools. You presented a lot of information in a very short period of time. This is a video I will watch multiple times to make sure I completely understand how to use this wonderful tool.

[mad_sa]

Simple and clear explanations, perfect. 🎉

[trimodceo]

Outstanding tutorial! Very clear and succinct. The best I've viewed to date!

[sorrytopart]

[MusicByYo]

I love this tutorial. Could only catch the gentleman's first name, Rich, but he's worth gold. Thank you. Pay him more!!!

This is a great video, as someone who has recently converted from Antares, this was so useful! Thanks so much!

[moosebeatstv]

I've been using Melodyne for about 15 years, and I can still learn a couple tips from a beginner video. Might be my favourite software, and that's saying something.

[thomasmorris]

Excellent job explaining the tools clearly. Thank you so much.

[StevePhillips-fe]

Rich you are a great teacher, as a Melodyne user I've learnt so much from your videos, concise and packed with useful information.Many thanks
