Creating unique drum samples with Melodyne

Many engineers dub or replace their recorded drums with samples. But why rely on someone else’s sample pack when you already own such a powerful editing tool as Melodyne? In this video, Rich shows you how to create lots of exciting variations from just one simple kick drum sound. This may inspire you to shape your own unique and truly personalized sounds from now on. Not only kick drums, but all sorts of percussive material can be created that way! Most edits featured in today’s video can be done in Melodyne assistant. Only the more experimental variations (starting at 10:56) require the Sound Editor which is exclusive to Melodyne studio. Since today’s video pays much attention to the low end, please use studio monitors or good quality headphones. 0:00 Intro 1:05 Pitch in the Percussive algorithm 1:33 Create a good starting point 2:03 Length changes in the Percussive algorithm 3:45 What is Percussive Pitched? 4:51 Pitch modulation in drums 6:00 The attack phase 7:41 Adding fades 8:24 Time Handles for more sustain 10:17 Formants for changing the color 10:56 Sound Editor: Dynamics 12:16 Sound Editor: Tilting harmonics 13:44 Sound Editor: Contour for more character 14:30 Sound Editor: Powerful EQ 16:03 Sound Editor: The Synth section 17:36 Exporting lots of good samples For more on Melodyne: https://www.celemony.com Why not try Melodyne 30 days for free, without any limitations? https://www.celemony.com/en/trial Buy Melodyne: https://shop.celemony.com Follow us on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/celemony_ https://www.threads.net/celemony_ https://www.facebook.com/celemony https://x.com/celemony #melodyne #tutorial #drums
