If you tune vocals during tracking you are an idiot.

Wow! That’s a bold statement! Everyone has their own way of working, so I’d like to hear why you feel so strongly against tuning vocals during tracking process.

I love the idea of once a singer has done a line that has the intensity we want but maybe the notes are a bit shakey, to find out if running it through Auto-tune or Melodyne really quickly will fix the pitch issue. If tuning the vocal doesn’t solve the problem, we know we need to attack that phrase again.

I find Antares a bit brutal on my vocals so gave up with it.

The more I use both of them, the more I realize I do like Auto-tune better, actually. However, I MUST slow down Auto-tune. The settings in autotune are VERY powerful!

Thanks for the article. I was wondering whether to get melodyne and now I’m trying it out because I find Antares a bit brutal on my vocals so gave up with it. I wanted something to just pitch correct the odd note. Usually the last one on a recording when I’m running out of breath. I have scrapped a few lovely recordings just because the last note tends to go a fraction flat. On the whole though I strive towards delivering a perfect vocal and usually I’m in tune but it’s nice to know I can salvage a recording with melodyne:-) And yes I probably am sad for reading your article but thanks anyway.

Thanks for posting this article, it’s very helpful. I’ve been working with Melodyne for a while and haven’t had a go at autotune.

For me, Melodyne vocal corrections don’t make any sense in the non-plugin context. Naturally, I have to hear the other lanes and judge by ear what notes are off. It is true, that I have to first bounce all the best segments to one track before using the tool.

Cheers, Antill

all that pitch correction if it was used on robert plants vocals would have robbed him of his incredible uniqueness.i shudder to think of his vocals without all his swoops and pitch bends. uuuuuuuugh
