New in Version 5.3 The update to Version 5.3 contains improvements and bug fixes, which is why we recommend it to all users. Moreover, Melodyne 5.3 is required for ARA integration into Pro Tools 2022.09. New features and improvements Surround: In both ARA and Transfer modes, Melodyne can now also be used for the editing of tracks in the standard surround formats. ARA in Pro Tools: Melodyne 5.3 comes with all the technical prerequisites for ARA integration into Pro Tools from Version 2022.09 upwards and thus makes a significantly improved workflow in Pro Tools possible. Preferences: When Melodyne is employed for the first time as a plug-in, it loads the set of keyboard shortcuts corresponding to the DAW you are using. Bug fixes Recording: In the stand-alone implementation of Melodyne, you can now also use a recording device with a mono input (e.g. a MacBook microphone). ARA in Cubase: When moving an ARA event to a track that is not selected, the selection in Melodyne is now retained. Pro Tools: The position of the playback cursor in Melodyne is now correctly updated even when playback is stopped. AAX in Pro Tools: When bouncing/committing, Melodyne now correctly evaluates the offline setting. The Correct Pitch macro: When the macro was applied to a very large number of notes simultaneously, Melodyne would sometimes freeze. This no longer happens. Preferences: Previously, in ARA mode, the keyboard shortcut for “Playback Selection” was erroneously listed under “Others” instead of under “Transport Bar”. This has been fixed. The Note Inspector: The input field for Sibilant Balance now reliably accepts input even when multiple tracks are being edited simultaneously. ARA in Cakewalk by Bandlab: Under certain circumstances, Melodyne would crash when loading a session. This has been fixed. Ableton Live: The cause of random crashes when Melodyne was running in Live 11.1.1 under macOS Monterey on a Mac with an M1 chip has been detected and eliminated. Note editing: The “Restore Original” commands in the Edit menu now behave more consistently in the stand-alone implementation, in the Transfer plug-in and under ARA.

@daveiv This may prove to be the best $29 I spent on a program in quite a long time. Thank you for posting this. I am finally getting some time to dig into this gem. And after a few hours with it I realized that I should have done this a long long time ago. Working on a song I have already written, just to get myself familiar with the features and establish some kind of work flow, I am finding that it is a lot easier to do this than I thought it would be. Took me a little while to get going, and after one you tube video (importing a audio file (that's a killer feature!) ) I have got the strumming and picking down on the tabs just like I am playing it!!! All the little nuances and all!! That has me flipping out!! This is just a little three chord deal, but I got the tab playing in perfect sync with the audio file!! WHAT DA >>>!!! What I did was put the chords in trk 1. On trk 2 I have the picking. Trk #2 is where I really started to see some of the potential of this program. This program makes it really easy to do a trial and error type workflow, which works really well for me. (I can see myself humming a idea and getting it down relatively easy.) I put the notes I know I play on the tab. But it was really stiff and not flowing. So I imported a audio file of the song I have, lined it up and got it in sync (it ain't hard at all!) and then was able to get the tab/notation exactly like I play it!! I was freaking out!! Really!! I never thought this would be possible. But it is, and it ain't that hard. There is a learning curve to be sure. But it's really not that steep. I still have a lot to learn, but I can only see this getting better. And better! I really can see that my whole work-flow for writing and recording just changed tonight. At $29, if your a guitar player, and write your own stuff, this is no-brainer deal!!

Not sure I'm one to give life advice. I suffered a TBI in September 1965. American football. Been living with PTSD-like symptoms ever since. 0 for 3 on wives. 0 for my adult life on relationships. I'm lucky my dogs love me. I managed a great career, which I feel proud of. If I can offer any advice at all, it's to not let your job consume you. When you leave work, leave the work behind. Forget about it. Really enjoy the time you've got with your friends and family. Once a moment has passed, it's gone for good. Be joyful. Smile. Be kind to those around you. Love your neighbor as you do yourself, regardless of their color, gender, who they sleep with or who they pray to.

Well aren't they adorable!

Best on the net. Some interesting reviews on MSoundFactory instruments, Dawesome Novum and Arturia’s Augmented series. https://soundbytesmag.net

Local Hero 2 I wrote this a few years ago and I thought it sounded pretty nice. I took one theme from the song and made a few edits on it and also used better sounding vst instruments. The piano accompaniment is a little rough maybe but I like the violin and bassoon parts. Work in progress. I'm taking a nature photography trip to Australia soon but will try to check in when I can.

but a big deal in my book

So it looks like Saturday's gig will have to be cancelled. Our drummer has injured his knee and can't play. He's freaking out that he might never play drums again. Meanwhile, I'm cracking jokes. I don't know the details, but you know how drummers are. I imagine a scenario that started with "hold my beer". Although knowing his wife (our singer), it could have also begun with her saying "there's something I read about in Cosmo I'd like to try". In my defense, I'm the guy who in the ambulance about to get a fentanyl injection asked the paramedic if I'd start robbing 7-11s next week. Or when lying on a gurney getting my crotch shaved for surgery, told the (male) nurse with the razor that "in my fantasy, you're much better looking". True stories.

I use a couple of these with Cakewalk occasionally....

I don't think that they changed the worst thing that is out of sync to any DAW: The scrolling and zooming! IMO it is a real disaster when you work with Melodyne in any DAW, because the scrolling and zooming is completely different (no mouse wheel + ctrl/alt/shift). Okay, I am a bit older (not so flexible anymore), but I guess also younger people have some trouble to change always the scroll behavior switching between the DAW and Melodyne! ?

That really doesn't make them all the same. Just one little bit affecting that plugin in your environment could be corrupted, making it YOUR problem only, and if so you are the only person that can fix it. These suggestions, or hoops as you call them, are the only way to logically rule things out at your end. If you want Waves support (or anyone for that matter) to work with you, you WILL need to do as they ask! We are just users like you, and have been in your shoes before...

Stratos 1977 I spent some time with the new Cherry Elka-X vst synth, trying out the presets and tweaking the knobs. Pretty soon I was getting a Klaus Schulze kind of a sound which I used in this song. It's spacey electronic music featuring filter frequency and resonance tweaking along with the filter ADSR envelope tweaks. It takes a lot of time to hit the right combination of settings to get that Schulze sound. Not totally happy with this one but here's what I came up with. It's more of a backing track. Gonna add some keys on top if I can think of how to do that. As always don't listen while driving or operating heavy machinery. Synths used Arturia CS-80 Cherry Audio Elka-X Omnisphere Thanks for listening/commenting.

Don't watch that show (or most shows TBH), but found a pic for ya! ?

If you're looking for a nice free EQ check out Blue Cat's Triple EQ you can pick it up by itself or as part of their excellent Freeware pack https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Bundle_FreewarePack/ Unless you just got have gooey knobs. Some of us probably like that kind of thing. and yes I know I misspelled GUI

A couple of months ago my wife and I celebrated a rather significant marriage anniversary. I wrote this song for her in celebration and appreciation of our life together. It is very stripped down and minimalist. Only two guitars with an occasional third for a few accents. Only one vocal with the occasional harmony. Oh ya, it is not Blues or bluesabilly. As this style is a bit different for me, any comments, suggestions, crit.'s would be very much appreciated. Thanks!! A SONG FOR ALICE https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandid=963481

For anyone to help they would have to know something about your system.

Unfortunately there is no quick way. I'm missing that as well. But I use to switch to the event list view, because each note (stacked ones as well) has its own list entry. Selecting the doubled notes is much easier there.

Hi Bjorn. This does have backing track for a cinema or TV video. I agree with Nigel above -- it sounds good just as it is. This number definitely sets a mood early on and maintains it throughout. Really good stuff pal.

What a wonderful song!! The lyrics sound very personal and the music is perfect for the lyrics. I love your use of delay/echo on the vocals and also love the harmonic guitars toward the end. This was great --- please do some more with vocals.

It is my opinion in general that plug-in makers need to test their plug-ins in all DAWs. Cakewalk is sometimes overlooked... ? So it follows that logic that it's not the responsibility of the DAW maker to adjust to the shortcomings of a plug-in maker. Let Waves hear about it!

Sounds good!

Nice moody track. I do agree with the muffled sound, I think it's mostly the guitar, although I can hear the fingers on the strings so the very high end must be boosted. Maybe that what you want if you are going for a certain sound in your head.

Yep, this Violin Bass is an absolute scorcher.

How do you view life now? What advice would you give us? I just watched a Short on YT about how Travolta's wise young 10 yo son told him if he felt he had 30 more years to live, he said yes, son says there you have it, enjoy it muthafkca ?

Users of my Themes may like to download again and replace the old with new as a small number of corrections/improvements have been made to some, most notably my 'M-Tungsten' Theme has been updated to display the newer style 'Metronome Settings' button icon on the Transport Module, My 'M-Silk' and 'M-Tango Orange' Themes have also been updated with better 'Metronome During Play', 'Metronome During Record' and the newer 'Metronome Settings' buttons on the Transport Module, better icons on the 'Input Echo' buttons (Mix Module, Track and Console View) (As have some other Themes) and also better digits on the Snap Module buttons, the digits on these were the existing digits that I had just painted around when I made the themes, I have now painted over the old digits and added fresh digits to these so they should look a little clearer/sharper now, most Themes have also had an improvement to the 'Audio' and 'Instruments' tabs when in the selected state in the 'Add Track Flyout', the selected tab of these had more height than the unselected but I've now made them equal as I think it looks much better and served no purpose having more height, they were just made that way originally as it's how they display in the 'Mercury' and 'Tungsten' themes included with Cakewalk.

Bjorn, this hits me on a visceral level, unlike other songs I've heard from you. It seems dark and sinister, therefor, cinematic, and ready for a movie or documentary. Though I've been incommunicado for a while, I've heard most of the songs you posted lately, and you've been keeping the beat going for a long time!

From Sonora Cinematic, the developer of Poiesis Cello and the Magnetism series, Aria Libera is a free Kontakt instrument featuring the beautiful humming of singer Emma May Price processed through a granular modular synthesiser. The result is an inspiring and effortless tool for adding beautiful vocal textures, atmospheres or pads to underscores. It's also excellent for experimental and glitchy sounds. Users can assign Aria Libera to any MIDI controller and use the XY pad to expressively shape their sound. Move across the X axis to increase the granular effect and use the Y axis to diffuse the sound in space. Download it now > https://sonoracinematic.com/products/sonora-cinematic-aria-libera

Well, as long as we're copping to our business heritage, I'm the dude on the ground.

My first computer programming experience was on an IBM mainframe that was housed in its own building at U.W.-Madison in 1974. There was a room full of keypunch machines. Each card was one line of code. We used Ditran (Diagnostic Fortran). You'd write your little program (e.g., a bubble sorter), submit the card deck to the computer gods on the other side of the glass room that housed the mainframe, and come back in an hour or three or the next morning to get your printout and card deck back, only to find out that you'd made a typo on one card, and had to go through the whole process again. My first professional computer programming was on a DEC PDP 8e (the last model with a wire-wrapped motherboard instead of the newer PCB motherboards). It had 32K x 12 of core memory (non-volatile) on 4 8K x 12 cards. You had to load the bootup program via paddle switches on the front (12-bit octal (which suuuuuuucks)). Storage was on a 1 MB 14-inch unsealed platter. It used the TED line-based text editor for programming and had a 3-pass paper tape assembly language compiler. I used it to write control programs for the Neutrino beam line at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in '78-'79, before I went to work for Amoco Oil. It was my first job out of college. I got so wrapped up in work and had a heavily progressive travel schedule, that my music life was relegated to listening. My last 15 years of work was at Motorola. I was laid off at 54 when the original Motorola dissolved, which probably saved my life. I spent the final 8 years in the consulting group in Motorola University, finishing with managing the consulting business in Asia and Europe. I was spending 200+ nights a year sleeping in hotels and another 40+ sleeping on airplanes. I spent my severance package playing golf 4+ days a week for 9 months in Scottsdale. I got completely bored with that, bought a master blaster Sony VIAO PC and got into music production. That was around 2006, so I'm a late-comer to the MIDI world, even though I've been programming since the mid '70s.

Awesome!

What a great feature! Love it.

That only opens the menu list. Clicking the Insert menu is just as fast. There should be a keystroke for the Insert window itself. For some reason it's about the only Insert option without one. All the others can be assigned. Using a 3rd party utility isn't really the answer.
