Melodyne issues

[MERT ÖZER]

just purchased the melodyne essentials version and I ran it in ARA mode. But when i play and pause quickly, the audio doesn’t get imported into Melodyne, instead; i have to hit transfer and wait for my audio to be transfered, which is weird… I tried to run it in the rozetta mode to see what changes but then didn’t see the ARA version of the plugin on the list, any ideas on how to figure this out? Another question, is vocaligng’s latest version usable/accessible to us? If so, are the features that comes with the pro subscription also accessible/easy to use for the blind, can we use the smart pitch/pitch corrections tools within the plugin? Thank you!

For ARA to work you have to load Logic in Rosetta mode, If you use it in Native apple silicon mode you have to use the transfer button. ARA also only will ever show up in the first plug in slot. If you use the second plug in slot or higher the ARA option won’t show up. SO if you are using logic magician and you already have a plug in on the track press 1, then shift Dash to insert a plug in in front of the first plug in to be able to see the ARA version of the plug in.

Thanks for the reply. I run Logic in Rosetta mode from the Info window and open the ARA version of Melodyne. I load a new track with an audio region without any plugins, then insert Melodyne ARA in the first slot and hit play and stop, but it never transfers. I really don’t understand the problem here. Maybe the pitch graph is visible, but the keyboard focus isn’t on the correct window. Could that be the case? I tried both the Controls and the Edit window shown.

That's exactly the case. Controls view is useless for melodyne, you should always use editor window.
One thing to be aware of is that after transfer, whether through ARA or by manual transfer, the melodyne playhead will be in the end of track, so you'll probably have to go back to the first blob with left arrow.
If pressing left and right arrow keys plays no blobs, then the focus is not in melodyne window. In that case, you need to use VOCR to refocus melodyne.
VOCR the window, and find the time grid line, that's the line which shows bar numbers, and it follows logic's timeline. If your vocal for example starts on bar 30, then the melodyne time grid will show bars from 30. Once you find it, navigate to any of the bar numbers and click twice with VO Shift SpaceBar, and the melodyne window will be in focus. Now you can use arrow keys and other melodyne key commands.

Hi Laid,

The only solution i found to this problem is every time i load melodyne i have to use VOCR to click on the melodyne 5 essential area, otherwise the keyboard shortcuts doesn’t work, I also checked the melodyne playhead and it’s actually not at the end of the file. I don’t know why it doesn’t focus without me having to press but I guess I’ll have to do it this way… Thank you!

Hey all:

while in the melodyne thread, need to ask 2 questions here:

1- how can i use the f6 to combine blobs etc?

2- after i do my melodyne tuning, should i bounce the hole track in a new audio or what?

Thanks in advance

No idea, it's just the issue with melodyne for very long time. I guess sighted people don't find it very distructive as they use mouse for most of the editing and mouse clearly focuses the window.
I had same expirience in reaper on mac so my guess it's just melodyne problem.
Not big deal for me, as I usually do it once per track, and after I finish tuning, I don't care about melodyne window any more, just bounce track in place and move on.

Hey Ramy

I have no idea what are you talking about with F6. F6 is default key command for selecting note separation and separate type tools. If we could use those tools properly then separation part would be useful, but why do you want to combine blobs at all? Anyway, from what I know we can't combine blobs, but to be fully honest, that's something I've never been interested in, so not 100% sure on that.

You can split blobs at zero-crossings with S key, without selecting any of separation tools.

After you're done with editing, there's nothing you really must do, but I personally always bounce the track in place, and hide the track with melodyne. It's there if I need to go back to it for any reason, but I don't want to screw up something accidentally with edited file, so I always bounce it.

THanks Laid, so, if i need to split, all i need is to stop at the place that i need, then hit s? that is all? or i should do extra thing?

No, it works per blob. You select a blob and hit S key. You can't really select where it's gonna be split which is unfortunate, but what's good actually as it auto selects any pitch change or deviation and split happens there. I'd say that in 99% of situation it works well.

THanks Laid,

but just a quick question, 

can we create a small Keyboard maestro macro that just read the note pitch if it is in tune or a little higher or lower by sense?

in pro tools, Slau Halyton did that before, but do not know how to use it in logic.

it will be great to do.

I know we will use ears, but sometimes we need to be sure that everything is ok.

Hey again Laid:

sorry for sending again, but i discover that, when i press on any F button to change the tools, nothing happened,

i need to use the f3, to flatten some vibrato,  but pressing f3, do nothing.

am using full sized keyboard, and my f keys are working with LM and all things, so am sure that they are working.

how can i use this?

and incase you did not see my previous message, am asking if we can create just a macro for melodyne to read the value for each note?

i tried reading them using VOCR but couldn’t find any values.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramy

Yeah nothing happens when you press any of the F keys, because F keys only select certain tools, they do nothing else.

I suggest you to read melodyne manual to learn how it all works, what each tool does, and how to navigate the melodyne. Blindly trying out things won't get you far.

Note inspector is always shown, but it doesn't always show the note and cents values. They are visible only if main or pitch tool are selected. For other tools, the inspector shows only numeric values from -100 up to 100, for some tools even wider range.

Now, about your use case, F3 selects formant tool, so you can't flatten out vibrato with that. You need pitch modulation tool for that, which you can select by double pressing F2. Then use cmd up and down arrows to change depth of the vibrato.

On macro, as I already said, note and cents values are visible with VOCR as long as main or pitch tool are selected. Therefore, yes, the macro can be created, but since OCR must be used, it requires lots of trial and error to get it right. 

I know Slau has created it for protools, so it would be probably easier to adopt his scripts to logic rather then reinvent the wheel.

I currently don't have time for that, can't make any promises, but may consider it sometimes in the future.

Hi and sorry for breaking in here, but i just wonder is there something like automatic pitch correction that can be used in a song?

Hey Laid and thanks so much for explaining.

now, 2 questions here:

am trying to use the s  to split blob, yes it can split but just 1 time, 

so, if i need to split the same blob again, nothing happened, i use left and right arrows to come back to the same blob, and same result, why is this?

the other question:

i did what you told me to do, i press  f3, then f2 twice, but using CMD+up and down arrows, did not change anything, just change the pitch itself,

am trying even to find these tools on screen to change them with VOCR but couldn’t find something.

regarding the macro, wish that i know how to do, i will create for me and all other melodyne users.

THanks again for your help.

waiting your reply

Please read my message again. I said that F3 selects formant tool and that it's not the one for flattening vibrato, so I didn't say to press F3 then F2 twice. 

I also said that blindly trying out things won't get you far. Melodyne is speciffic software, so answering few questions here won't get you far either. Read its manual and maybe watch some videos about it, because it's all very easy when you understand how it all works, and answers to your questions will have more sense.

On macros, keyboard maestro documentation is well written. Go and read basics on understanding macro groups, macros, and actions, then on speciffic actions you may need and try things out. Indeed, there are many youtube tutorials on combining different actions and things like that, so much material about it. Just make sure to read getting started page, that will teach you basics and what are building blocks of keyboard maestro macros, so you can follow any tutorial after that.

Hey Laid:

THanks so much for your advice.

i start reading the manual, and it is really fancy.

and i discovered the shortcuts issue.

i thought that i should press the f1 key, not the letter f followed by number1,

when i set with a sited person, pressing letter f followed by 1 or double 2, can send me to the place that i need.

thanks so much,

now, i got something related to us.

i can use all shortcuts but now navigating with arrows does not allow me to listen to any blob, however, correction is working,

so, using command up or down arrows perform the task, but i do not know where am i.

i closed the  plugin, offload and instanciate again, closed logic and restart the system, but with no luck.

i used VOCR to click on any bar number, and i can correct but can not listen to blobs while moving.

it was working ok, before trying the f1 f2 etc,

so, what can i do now? and what am i missing?

Thanks in advance.
