This man single-handedly turned the phrase "we learn new things everyday" into an understatement.

BRO....... You're the man. I was praying to learn about the FREEZE track thing so I can use the Melodyne clips and drag them around after editing... FREAKING LIFE SAVER. Please ask someone to hug you, and pretend it's from me.

@15:52 Yes, Bbm (A#m if you insist) is the _relative minor_ of C#, which means they use the same notes, but start on different roots. The relative minor is always the 6th of it's major scale.

This was a huge help! Thank you thnak you. If it helps, I like to anchor my warping by placing a marker at the end of the sample and typically inserting warp points around the center of two other points (wherever needs broad-stroke fixing). It's the best way I can find to maintain the humanity in the groove while not getting more specific with the markers than you might need to, working linearly. No right way, but as a singer who also tidies up drums, I've screwed up many a groove in my time by getting a little trigger happy warping haha.

Great video, thanks for being so generous with your knowledge! Is Ableton complex pro timing adjustment better than Melodyne's timing adjustment (as far as artifacts and unwanted sounds)? I cant find an answer to this anwhere.

@brendencellan6576 Жыл бұрын

Hey I really appreciated your info and your explanations! Very informative. Tho coming from a classical low brass background, making the vocal be in a minor (meaning 7 sharps in the key) was super silly. At least for me. Much easier to think it in an easier key to work with (like b flat minor). If I were to see 7 sharps in a key signature playing a low brass instrument, I would have the worse migraine ever and just think the key as b flat minor and transpose

Hey Julian! Amazing video and useful info you've shared! May I ask, how you use SoundID Reference (Sonarworks)? Saw it as your output device in the Live preferences. Why is this? Why not using the UAD as output and use the Reference plug-in? Thank you in advance.

Reaper's ARA implementation is solid, Ableton has none. However, with a lot of vocal recording backup/saves take a long time because of Melodyne. I like your record/edit/freeze/save process. I ended up doing that on Reaper even with the ARA. FYI, I tried the "melodyne" as editor with replace and it crashed, plus, you can't hear the audio in context, what's the point? This is the best video so far on Melodyne in Ableton.

Hi Julian. Great Video. I am just a beginner, so your video helped me a lot. A quick question, do you know/use any plugin to cut off the room echo? I might be entirely wrong, but the recording you used in this video has a little room echo, or at least to my ears, it sounds like it. My room, where I record, is not professionally acoustically treated, so even if I try to avoid noise/reverb as much as possible, there is always a little echo in my vocal recordings. I would appreciate it if you could suggest some plugins to remove/reduce those echos. Thanks

@JayDeeOfficialx 3 ай бұрын

There's a plugin from Waves called "CLARITY Vx" that u could use when u record vocals if your room isn't acoustictly treated ! If you using and APOLLO interface u could use the "C-SUITE C VOX" it's also good :)

Hi. Thanks for this very good video. I`m using Ableton on my PC running on an i7 Acer with 32GB memory. My son and I have tried altering the sample rate and other parameters but suffer a lot of clicking. We have good cable and a half-decent microphone through a Focusrite interface recording mainly vocals or guitar. Is there a piece of hardware that can help, do you think? Or, are there settings that I might`ve missed? Thanks for any help.

@JulianGrayMedia Жыл бұрын

You will run into clicking if you have the buffer size set too low! raising it will give you latency, but generally latency is better than artifacts.

@@JulianGrayMedia That`s helpful. Thank you for taking the time to reply

Cool. Transfer is such a painful process however. It's better to go to Ableton>Preferences>File Folder>Sample Editor and set that to point to Melodyne (for me in Windows it's C:/Program Files/Celemony/Melodyne 5/Melodyne.exe), then when you double click the audio clip, you can just click the Edit button on the bottom left of the Audio tab that comes up on the double click.

@sternenherz Жыл бұрын

i agree, "transfer" function is so un-necessary! I m wondering though: When i use the edit button and Melodyne opens the sample i have two problems. Edit: fixed the problems. Had to choose "replace" as saving method, to replace the Ableton-Sample-File. The only thing which is a bit annoying is that melodyne asks to save the mlp file, when closing the editor - which i don't wanna do everytime.

Is the reason for the vocal being so loud as you mention at 35 mins 12 secs not because you have 'makeup' gain selected on the right hand side of the compressor?

@cassitocassito6031 Жыл бұрын

why do we need warp on when we do time correction of the vocals? cant we just drag them in the right place without warp? bc i dont want to change the tempo, i just want to change its place

@JulianGrayMedia 11 ай бұрын

you can turn off warp if your vocal is recorded at the same tempo as the track. I do this often to avoid any unnecessary artifacts

Dude, I've never seen somebody work so hard to warp a vocal. Half of your problem is you double click the hash marks to turn them to a yellow block before you move them if you move them while they're Gray everything moves on the other side of it in accordance with where you're trying to place it when you double click it and put it as a yellow marker it's only warping up until that marker and everything ladder to that marker is still the same. Next time just move the hash mark and once that hash mark seems on time then double click it and make it yellow. Brutal brutal brutal no I'm not sure if I want to watch the rest of the video haha
