Melodyne Studio 3.

(1/1)

Hi.

I am trying to get a good vocal track for a song of mine but I am not as good a singer as I used to be.

I bought Melodyne Studio 3 hoping that it would correct my vocals to a degree where they could be used for release. However, I'm not happy with the outcome. The singing sound weird / robotic / unusual at the end of phrases.

Has anyone come across this and if so, what did you do?

Cheers, Ste.

I've found with both AutoTune and Celemony that the greater the correction, the more notice the artifacts. I prefer Celemony for editing as I find it a bit more useful (and the polyphony editing for chords is helpful... although it can get a bit ...spacey

a few times the vocalist was so far off, either pitch control just "moved the problems"... so to speak, so i had someone else sing the song (in pitch and key) and had the vocalist practice to that, even once using it as a 'sing-along" scratch track... this got the vocals closer so the pitch correction wasn't as noticeable...

someone once told me, the best approach is "practice, practice, practice"... or change the key of the tune to something you can sing...

ste20man:
Thanks again. I've noticed that it is a little low for me in term of key but I've been practicing and it's coming together. The old adage of 'rubbish in rubbish out' holds true. I think another week and I should be able to Celemony only very subtly.
