Does anyone know how to work Melodyne in the dubstep world?

Post by daeMTHAFKNkim » Fri Apr 20, 2012 7:50 am

Voice chopping/repitching notes...I guess like Skrillex/Adventure Club/Feed Me etc.

I know the basics but it doesn't sound smooth etc. like they do.

EDIT: Adventure Clubs is actually moreso easy. But I mean like Skrillex/Feed Me. It sounds like they actually sung like that and just repitched the voice.....unless they really did reverse/chop etc....it sounds too perfect and smooth.
Examples.....
Adventure Club.. @ :14

Feed Me... @ :20

Skrillex yall ready know.

Some guesses would be really cool...it'll give me some ideas.

Don't use Melodyne for that, there is another plugin for that but I forgot it's name. I'll post when it comes back to mind.

Skrillex said on his soundcloud that all he uses for vocals is Abletons Transpose Wheel and Melodyne but yes the way he does it, does sound smoother than when ive tried it so im unsure myself really.
Although i must admit, i havent used Melodyne alot...if i took some time to learn the ins and outs of it, it probably wouldnt be overly hard to achieve the same effect. :mrgreen:

Skrillex actually sings his lines. And it feels like he does it with the whole glitching in mind to get that choppy effect when cutting the samples.

It also sounds like its been ran through a amp modeling plugin for some additional effect and distortion.
Lots of producers will run Vocals through a guitar amp plugin for effect. This just sounds like they've used that effect in a subtle way for some specific distortion. I may be wrong though.

The Swedish House Mafia talks about running some vocals through guitar amp plugins in their YouTube vid showing the making of "One".

I think it is actually a combo of Ableton and Melodyne, each being equally important. You can run a vocal through melodyne and tune it up or alter it some odd way and then resample it to print it or create a new audio track. I would do that and then paste a copy of it and then reverse the copy and that gives you just about endless possibilities.

Ableton has a nice feature that chops an audio clip up and puts the fragments into a midi format so you can play any specified increment of the vocal as a midi note. If you sit and play around with it, you can get a really glitchy vocal track going.

Here is a workflow to experiment with; Melodyne treat a vocal clip, resample it, paste a second version of it and reverse it, combine them with the command+J function, and then do slice to new midi track. All girls will take their panties off for you at this point.

But wait, there's more! The warp style can be changed in Ableton and you can do even more crazy shit with an audio clip by changing the warp style before or after Melodyne (prob after since Melodyne may have issues finding the notes to a madly warped clip). I have said too much.
