GOING BEYOND VOCAL FIXES

1

Step 1: Transfer audio from the host into Melodyne using the MelodyneBridge plug-in.

2

Step 2: Show the audio-to-MIDI parameters in the Editor window. You can do this from the View menu or the MIDI menu.

3

Step 3: Enable export of pitch-bend and envelope data, choosing the appropriate controller number and pitch-bend mode. Tweak the Velocity and envelope curves if necessary.

4

Step 4: Correct any misanalyzed notes within Melodyne before exporting. Tweak the intonation of individual notes for optimum harmonic effect.

5

Step 5: Use the Save Audio As MIDI command to export the desired tracks to individual Standard MIDI Files. To preserve alignment between tracks, set the Range to From Start Of Reference Track Until End Of Arrangement.

6

Step 6: Import the MIDI files to the appropriate tracks in your host sequencer and assign them to the desired synths. Be sure that the synths’ pitch-bend ranges match the range set in Melodyne.
