I recently started playing with it and I like the capapilties so far - especially for editing out breaths. I got Melodyne bundled with an iZotope plugin that uses it (Nectar). The whole autotune phase of the early 00's really put me off of pitch correction in general. I logged on today specifically to look for Melodyne tips and/or advice. (Also, Melodyne's percussive algorithm view is handy for editing dynamics/note-amplitudes even with melodic material as it lines up all the notes on one line so it is easier to compare them.) If you don't clip or consolidate first, even with the name changed, the original clip will be overwritten by what you do in Melodyne.

Tip: To avoid overwriting the original clip, duplicate the clip, change the name and then 'crop' or 'consolidate' the clip. Any changes made will now be reflected in your Live session. When your edits in Melodyne are complete, simply select File -> Replace Audio. Your Clip will now automatically open in Melodyne. To edit audio from Ableton Live in Melodyne:Ĭlick “Edit” in the bottom Clip View window (just to the left of the waveform in Ableton 11 underneath Transpose) in the Session or Arrangement view. Select “Melodyne located in your Applications folder and click “Open.”

Click “Browse” in the “Sample Editor” field. To set Melodyne as the Sample Editor for Ableton Live in Mac OS: In the menu bar, go to Live -> Preferences and click on the “File/Folder” tab. I am reposting my original post from the Feature Wishlist forum in this forum, since it is more of a tip than a request:Ĭurrently, I find the easiest way to use Melodyne with Ableton, without having to 'transfer', etc, is to use Melodyne as Ableton's default 'Sample Editor'.
