I guess I’ve been real old school in my vocal recordings… My work flow has been 1 time sing the whole friggin song though and record it… Yea...Pre Elvis Recording Theory…
Well Tonight I just joined the new century...I found and used this product called “Melodyne Studio”… Its a plugin for protools… as well as a VST plugin...wait for it.... that might work in BB directly...… its amazing for pitch correction as well as timing correction on vocal.....As well as other uses… instant harmonies…
This video shows pitch correction in Protools.. but a search will give you more info on vst use:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3VCJav9WR8Product has many flavors...this is the version I now own...
http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=products_studioThis is AWESOME guys …it’s like a word processor for Vocals….
This is Melodyn... on a vocal track.. double clicking auto corrects... the grey area is what the exact pitch should be.. the orange area is what it actually is...

Just downloaded the demo.
See if it works in Music creatopr 6
Thanks for the link.
yeah, Melodyne has been discussed here many times in the past. It is one of the coolest music tools available IMO... and what it brings to the table is a good match for BIAB/RBs strengths.
I believe it was JazzMammal who used it a while ago in an experiment to change the notes in a real track to achieve a specific melody. And while the final result didn't pass the guru test (Mac had some interesting and amusing comparisons to make) , its worth noting that JazzMammal focused mainly on moving the notes. He didn't mess with the other features such as smoothing the transitions, and tweaking the little details that could have made it sound totally realistic.
We all use more than one musical tool to create music. IMO, Melodyne is a must-have for every home recording enthusiast who can afford it. It brings so much more to the table than just pitch correction. You likened it to a word processor for music. I think of it in this way: if music were a tuxedo, Melodyne would be the lint brush. It can clean up just about any audio glitch you can imagine.
Bad note? Move it to the right note!
bad timing? drag the notes to the right place!
Too much or too little vibrato? You can make it less or more
want to change a melody to a different key? it doesn't just move every note the same number of steps, it can transcribe the melody to ANY key
Want to create a MIDI melody without playing a controller of any kind? Just hum the melody into melodyne, and export it as MIDI
And more. I am totally blown away by this product. I'd say You'll be happy you bought it, but you already are.
the one bummer is that it does NOT work as a plugin in RealBand. Works fine in many other products. I have to use it as a standalone app, which involves exporting the track I want to edit, make the changes in Melodyne, then import the results back into Real Band.
And according to the person I talked to at Celemony, they have no plans to make it compatible with RB as a plug.
In my Protools Final mix down...it works great!!!!
I'm so... Sorry guys was just trying to give back to the BB community.... I just re-did "You don't want to chase those Rainbows"... It made big difference for me.....
