Another excellent vid bro!! I love the way you break down exactly what you do. Keep up the great work!! Much ❤️ Nathan!!

Thank you for uploading this. We were just searching for a video like this 16 hours ago. Very helpful vid… thanks again! 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent video. As always, you have a great way of explaining things to make them easier to understand, as well as inspiring people to not shy away from going the extra mile because they thought it was too complicated.

Such a useful video! Thank you!

Great video! I'm a melodyne user and I discovered that the fastest and least destructive way is to use it in Logic is with selection based processing (SBP). This works for just about any 3rd party tuning plugin. I open melodyne (not ARA) in SBP and engage audio transfer button and just render in SBP. This bounces it in place but doesn't change the audio because I didn't make a change yet, but it does instantly add the audio into melodyne. Then I make my edit, sometimes I have to mute THEN solo the track because if I'm not listening to the preview version it plays both melodyne and not melodyne at the same time, then I hit render to new take. This gives me my tuned vocal plus my unturned vocal as takes in a take folder. What I like about this is that its working at the audio region level and not the track level so I don't have to bounce and place then bring it back to my main track and delete the bounced track. This method is probably mute for revoice pro because it already seems to work at the region level but this will work for waves tune and autotune graph mode and its much fast and cleaner than using it at the track level.

Absolutely banger video man. Been using Melodyne for all my vocal editing work, but after seeing RP4's little smooth note transition thing, I may become a convert, such a cool natural feature!

Best vocal correction video. I have Waves, but this helped a lot .👍 Your end result was terrific.

Kudos for an excellent video. All young producers and engineers, take note.

Needed this one

Love ya work!!👌

Well explained.

First off finally some revoice pro software producer, second off awesome detail video

This is probably the best pitch correction video I've seen. I've never been a fan of using pitch correction as an "effect", but you have absolutely nailed, in my opinion, how pitch correction should be used. When done correctly, as you have, it's substantially improves the artists tone, without possibly changing their vocals. Great freakin video 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video! I’m in post-production sound for films. The “M” key is what I was looking for, thanks!

Excellent tutorial, confirming that I need to rely on my (non-Vocalist) voice more. Also, I was using Melodyne with ARA in Cubase 11 Pro, and it was crashing my Mac and I [think] had to Render the edited track, to save CPU. Then, after watching this, I started using VariAudio (included free) with good results and no crashing. But, more importantly, I redid my vocal takes. Thank you.👍

Nathan- love your vids!!! I’ve used most of the pitch correction programs, and Melodyne is far and away the best (I am in no way associated with Celemony btw) Melodyne Studio 5 has incredible tools, and makes it possible to tune vocals (and multi-timbral source) naturally - you should take another look at it man!! Keep up the great work!

I have learned that working with pitch correction on Logic Pro X has made me more conscious of holding a note firmly when singing

melodyne adjusts the pitch transitions in the cuts automatically. It also allows you to change the slopes.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who was perplexed by his disregard for Melodyne. Doesn't take anything away from the general points he made on general pitch correction technique, but the software he's showcasing is not remotely close to the sophistication, flexibility, and magnitude of what can be accomplished with Melodyne. My guess is either he hasn't used the higher-end versions, or didn't spend enough time using it to realize its' power. He was exactly right when he said one of the biggest mistakes is trying to fight through a bad take instead of re-recording, but nevertheless I've polished many turds using Melodyne.

@@matthewmcclure3181 Absolutely agreed. Using Revoice as your main tool for vocal tuning compared to what one can do so much more easily with Melodyne is like intentionally working with a handicap. ReVoice is great for alignment, but Melodyne is far superior (and much faster) for pitch correction. Both are excellent products but like anything else, the key is to use the best tool for the job.

this video is great

Yes, you can make the transitions smoother between notes in Melodyne. I do it all the time.

Can you pls do a pitch correction tutorial using wave tune?

Thanks, Nathan. Excellent video and all parts are equally good ;) Both mindset thing when approaching tuning and practical examples. What I like the best it is also a prove for all those constantly complaining people about tuning evilness :)

That raw vocal is the best I've ever got in my studio.

Hi Nathan, thanks for this video, gotta check out Revoice. Using Melodyne atm but I‘m also a big fan of Vocalign. 2 questions: any tips for avoiding clicks and pops when it comes to tuning? Any tips for tuning more raspy voices? I feel like tuning softwares always have a hard time with rasp or screaming. Thanks brother, you‘re an inspiration!

I'm diving into pitch correction as I'm doing more vocal production. This video and the previous one on Flex pitch you did was very helpful in understanding how we use pitch correction. There's a lot of detail work that goes into this, being sure not to 'over-correct' but to also leave room for imperfections to keep a realistic treatment. Understanding how to split certain sections and refine the transitions was very helpful. Also what is the reverb you're using on these vocals? Love that. Thank you for these Great tutorials.

Great stuff bro. Vocals are the most important part of a song in my opinion! I love your content. You inspire mine! Thank you!

This was so helpful! So, I’ve been trying to find what a certain sound is called, it’s like that high electronicy really processed vocal. Usually kinda reverbed out. If you would know, that would be great! Sorry I’m not great at explaining stuff🤦‍♂️

great.great.video..thank.you.so.mutch

10:23 Waves Tune has a tool where you can draw the curve manually. Works ok with a little practice.

I love the wholistic approach. This is the way to approach this. Far too much music is over tuned and over processed, and this did sound like just a natural performance at the end

Perfect! But I think I don’t purchase Revoice Pro as it’s quite expensive. After all I bought Melodyne Assistant recently which can probably get you the same good results. For me the problem is what you mentioned at the beginning „if the vocals sound really bad you can not expect a really natural sounding vocal with pitch correction …“ so my voice is the problem, not the tools for correcting it. 😜

Great Tutorial! I always ran into “clicking” vocal sound and I retrack it but still make that weird clickking sound in wave tune. How do we fix that problem sir?

I've been struggling with Flexpitch. It's just doesn't sound as natural as what you have laid out. The key point I like is that you need a good vocal to start with, especially with a pronounced vibrato. Thanks for the clear and concise demonstration.

Even though I'm taking the Producer Accelerator course, I still find these freebie KZread videos informative. What I really like is the way you explain what you're looking for in the musical line of the performance (e.g. vibrato vs inflection vs average pitch). Your approach doesn't loose the character of the singer's voice like most people think of when they hear bad auto-tuning. To my ears it still sounds "produced", but not flat and artificial in the final example.

are the capabilities from revoice pro the same as repitch?

hi. His possible to Correct only some parts with wavs tune?

Thanks for this video! Do you usually always put tuning on before any other processing on your vox chain? Does anyone here place it differently for any specific reason?

@NathanJamesLarsen

2 жыл бұрын

With plugins like Revoice you do it before any processing and then print the edited vocals to process

Why isnt anyone talking how beautiful that angel voice sounds on that vocal?

Was the vocal a "one take" or did you comb the vocal track together before tuning? I think it's worth mentioning that when comping vocals it's best to focus on emotion, expression and performance and don't ditch a good part because of some minor false notes. Sometimes this can feel counterintuitive, but fixing the tuning of notes is much easier than fixing the delivery and vibe of a vocal part. Keep up the good work, Nathan. Your philosophy is rock solid!

RePitch

Excellent demonstration of how to use pitch correction with taste and discretion. Only one thing irks me: I wish she wouldn’t keep adding an “h” to the beginning of the word “I”.

is the singer MAGGIE ROGERS?

I was hoping to hear that while recording the recordist must understand the exact notes or at some level using what ever device he have or with the keys and tell the singer to correct when goes wrong...So when the recording is done then its almost pitching done! Otherwise we will not have a correct reference

"you can't polish turd" Then explain what I just spent the last two weeks straight without water or sleep in my bathroom doing to perfection and the praise of all France. Checkmate

Nice tutorial! And yeah, that cat video sucked! 😂

I’ll say what wasn’t most helpful. That fact you can’t merge corrections in Flex Pitch

In my experience Melodyne sounds better and has better workflow, you should spend some more time with it, you won’t regret it!

To me melodyne sounds artificial byt revoice sounds natural

How to tune vocals: learn to sing.

Um where in this video did I say you can fix a bad performance? Ahhh right - I didn't. Every single professional record made today and for the last many, MANY years tunes vocals regardless of how good the vocalist is. You don't need to like that - but that is reality. For some reason people freak out of "tuning vocals" - as if it automatically sounds bad or means that the singer is bad - 100% not true. If you can hear the tuning (in my opinion) you're not doing it properly or you need a better vocal take.

Stupid video - you’re using a raw vocal that already sounds near perfect as it is, it’s no challenge to tune correct that now is it?

He said, if the vocals are already really bad then this video is not for them but it'll add lotta artifacts which makes it sound unnatural 🥲 The aim here is to correct the pitch of vocals which is nearly perfect but it'll sound quite off after adding fx and mastering.. It's not a child's play to do pitch correction but needs a lotta patience and sharp ears 👂🏻 Better we redo the vocals if it's still sounding bad and artificial after pitch corrections 🥴

Unfortunately not many singers are this good. I think if you showed an example with a worse singer it would be a better video.
