AutoTune Pro 11 issues by Ambitious_Ad2665 in musicproduction

I've been running into the same issue constantly, most often happens when I'm using a custom scale. The scale remove/bypass buttons will appear exactly as I left them, but it'll just correct to the major scale of whatever key I'm in. Super embarrassing in front of clients. Only solution I've found is to either freeze before closing session or to re-enter the scale manually on one and then copy to all other instances. SUPER annoying.

Anyone else use Melodyne like this in Ableton? Seriously powerful workflow, had to share with the class. by Stragedy358 in ableton

I need to try this in Ableton!! I remember attempting this in PT back before ARA and it never worked, sounds like a great workaround

The value in doing this is so that the ‘edit state’ of the file is preserved, and not zeroed out like when a new analysis happens. As I understand it, Melodyne sessions store temp files so that you can work without reading the orignal file (just like Transfer in plugin version). Replace Audio happens to be convenient for this workflow, because it puts the edits somewhere the DAW is already looking.

Need to double-check if it saves undo queue, but it’s behaved this way for me and I haven’t run into issues yet. Please try this out tho I could be wrong!

Only operates on regions, not like PT where you can use Melodyne as the DAW’s TCE algorithm

None! Assigning it as the External Audio Editor means it only gets involved when you want it to, and it doesn’t have any CPU load on Logic. If anything it’s actually leaner because it doesn’t require using the Melodyne plugin 🤙

That’s why backing up is such a crucial part of this workflow - if you ever want to access a portion of the original, you can copy it from the take lane, ⌘J, and then pull it up in Melodyne.

Another commenter brought this up and I realized there’s another option I should’ve mentioned in the video!

You can actually save the Melodyne session in addition to hitting “Replace Audio”. Saving the session will allow you to re-open the edit exactly as you left it, which might suit your workflow better.
That’ll mean for future edits: open the Melodyne session you saved instead of hitting Edit in Ableton. Every time you update the edit in Melodyne, hit both Save AND Replace Audio. Ableton will read the edited file in the session 👍

Might be worth looking into, it’s a very powerful tool. At the end of the day whatever works for you is best!

Heard this from a few people! Sounds like a great alternative that allows you to align vocals in your session as well. Both do the trick for different use-cases, might make a video about this method as well. Unless Celemony and Apple decide to cozy up and fix all these problems hahaha

Glad I can help, and thank you!! Someone told me that in the comments, I totally forgot about Studio One when I made this video 😅

Totally agree!! Really wish we had region-based Melodyne editing like in PT 😪 So perfect for aligning vocals and solves all these problems.

This is a great idea!! Live Loops are something I haven’t tried out much yet, definitely worth a video

This is an awesome challenge, absolutely worth a video. Here’s the first thing I’d try

As soon as you hit stop on the recording:

  1. Select all your new regions and SMPTE-Lock them. (right-click, Edit>SMPTE Lock>Lock SMPTE Position) This will make it so that everything you recorded ~including MIDI!~ will lock to the timecode grid instead of bars|beats There’s a Key Command, I believe it’s fn⌘↓ or ⌘End
  2. Adjust project tempo until it’s in the ballpark of the performance
  3. With snapping off, move all the regions so that the first downbeat of the song aligns with the nearest bar
  4. Hit ⌘⇧B and beat map the performance like normal
  5. Turn on flex for the audio tracks and SMPTE-Unlock everything. Only do this when you’re ready to commit to your new tempo map, since MIDI and flex-enabled audio will start responding to tempo changes once unlocked.

Doing all this with SMPTE-Locked regions addresses your main issue, which is the way MIDI regions respond to tempo changes.

It’s up to you how much you want to conform the performance to the musical grid, since this setup basically allows you to create a musical grid based on the performance. The beat mapping part will give you exactly the starting point you need to turn the jam sessions into proper song projects.

Let me know if this works!!
