I'd still like to know if there's a built in way to move the Melodyne version of the verse while relocating the clip still in the original track. only for the ghost verse to keep screwing with my mind when none of that worked.Īll that is to say that this is an acceptable and logical solution - as long as I remember to *duplicate/consolidate the clip first* I even undid all my edits to the point of the selecting the vocal lane and then moved it all again (twice). I thought it was a glitch in Live and/or with my aging hardware. It confused the crap out of me before I figured out what was happening. I found that a verse that was run through Melodyne (as a plugin) was playing in the previous location, even though the wav had been moved about 14 bars to the right. Of course, adding his two 12 bar verses caused most of the track to get moved down the timeline. After we got his two verses down, it was time to move chunks of the track around to start deciding on the final arrangement. Last night I had a recording session to get the 3rd and final vocalist on a track. I find the interface kinda of clunky from a work flow perspective but the results have been worth the effort and the learning curve (so far). I recently started playing with it and I like the capapilties so far - especially for editing out breaths. I got Melodyne bundled with an iZotope plugin that uses it (Nectar). The whole autotune phase of the early 00's really put me off of pitch correction in general. I logged on today specifically to look for Melodyne tips and/or advice. (Also, Melodyne's percussive algorithm view is handy for editing dynamics/note-amplitudes even with melodic material as it lines up all the notes on one line so it is easier to compare them.) If you don't clip or consolidate first, even with the name changed, the original clip will be overwritten by what you do in Melodyne. Tip: To avoid overwriting the original clip, duplicate the clip, change the name and then "crop" or "consolidate" the clip. Any changes made will now be reflected in your Live session. When your edits in Melodyne are complete, simply select File -> Replace Audio. Your Clip will now automatically open in Melodyne. To edit audio from Ableton Live in Melodyne:Ĭlick “Edit” in the bottom Clip View window (just to the left of the waveform in Ableton 11 underneath Transpose) in the Session or Arrangement view. Select “Melodyne located in your Applications folder and click “Open.” Click “Browse” in the “Sample Editor” field.

To set Melodyne as the Sample Editor for Ableton Live in Mac OS: In the menu bar, go to Live -> Preferences and click on the “File/Folder” tab. I am reposting my original post from the Feature Wishlist forum in this forum, since it is more of a tip than a request:Ĭurrently, I find the easiest way to use Melodyne with Ableton, without having to "transfer", etc, is to use Melodyne as Ableton's default "Sample Editor".
