RICHARD HUTCHINS 35 Posted February 8, 2021 Hi I am trying to learn to use melodyne, but not sure if that's relevant. Basically I have recorded three harmony tracks, used melodyne to tune them, each was a duplicate of the original vocal track, then altered to make three part harmonies. ( I cant sing!) In the next few bars I wish to do the same things, but an odd thing has stopped me. I click "record" and sing as I always would do; I can see the waveform fine so something is there and has been recorded. But on playback, it is silent until a few bars in, and then the recording of my voice can be suddenly heard. I am stuck as to what I've messed up; tried everything before asking people who know what they're doing. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Vere 1,666 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Only thing that I can think of if the track has been automated. Either mute or volume At first I was thinking you couldn’t record which is usually caused by having a punch in set Edited February 8, 2021 by John Vere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RICHARD HUTCHINS 35 Posted February 8, 2021 I dont think so, I did automate one track with clip volume adjustments but not the main vocal track which I duplicated to provide harmony after adjusting the notes up by a third in Melodyne. . I attach a screenshot, its track three giving the problem. (The weird waveform is me tapping the mike to test when the sound comes in, ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RICHARD HUTCHINS 35 Posted February 8, 2021 I just cut this section of waveform but no playback and pasted into a new track, and all works fine. I suspect melodyne has something to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Vere 1,666 Posted February 8, 2021 In your screen shot track 3 seems to change to something other than what looks like vocals to me. Are you rendering the clips after altering them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RICHARD HUTCHINS 35 Posted February 8, 2021 No, I was just tapping the mike gently to test things rather than singing each time. A workaround is to do a new track elsewhere and sort of start again, but its not ideal so I am still investigating. Its very odd, after the track starts recording, there is a few seconds gap until it can be played back in the headphones, but the waveform is there from the start, very odd. I'll repost if I suss it.

RICHARD HUTCHINS 35 Posted February 12, 2021 Hmm, still puzzling over this, the problem seems to be similar but a little varied to last time. Basically I record a few vocal harmony tracks, and I use melodyne. The, when I add another audio track for some more vocals( no plug in yet) I see a signal on the console view, as per normal, but the track wont record.(see screenshot) Any clues? I think somewhere along the line I've messed up a setting. I cant progress until I sort this! Its the blank purple track! Any help as usual very grateful for.
