Thank you!

Is it because I'm recording a mono vocal into a stereo track? I want the stereo track for fx that are added in stereo. Is there a better way to do this or doesn't it matter? Thanks.

Thanks so much!!

Good, thank you Andres!

What is the best way to do this? I looked through old threads because I thought there was a way to right click and select peaks within a clip and lower the gain but I can't get it to work. I could do it by splitting portions of the clip but that's time consuming. I'm referring to leveling out a vocal track before further processing. Thanks!

I think so Larry thank you. I wasn't sure if my samples were groove clips but from reading this it sounds like you can create groove clips from anything.

I don't use these much so I've never been clear on groove clips or whatever they are called. I have a project at 80 BPM and I want to use some tabla drums. There's lots of them in my browser, not sure if they're loops or samples but the closest BPM is 90. What's the simplest way to get it to fit the project BPM? Also the tabla drums say they are in either the key of c or c sharp. Is there a way to change the key also? Please just point me to a link to read, I just wasn't sure how to pose this question into the manual. Thank you!

John are yr custom shortcut keys part of Melodyne or CbB key bindings? I couldn't find a way to set them up. Thanks.

Update... I copied the vocal clip to a new track, and was successful with region effects. All I can think of is that the original track was somehow corrupted. It's not unusual for me to find sends in old projects that no longer work. I have no idea why except for the same reason of the track being corrupted, whatever that means. Usually the fix is just to delete and create a new send. I admit there can be user error, it's really been a handful for me to go from sonar producer to the present CbB, as it continually evolves. I do like what we have now and it's not nearly as buggy as a recent posters experience, it's just frustrating for me to go from fairly fluent in sonar to somewhat incompetent in cbb. I will get it eventually. Thank you all for your suggestions and patience!

Thanks Glenn I will give those ideas a try!

Update, this is driving me nuts! Okay sorry, I've retested and still get the same result, no sound. I've tried just a short portion of the clip and I can't get anything to even register in region effects. It's likely to be user error and sooner or later I will get it. I've never been comfortable with region effects though, I used to have melodyne Uno and just imported and exported my tracks and it worked fine. It also may have to do with my lack of understanding of exclusive solo. I've always found that a little confusing, I click solo plus exclusive solo, select the track and get no sound. There's some part of that I just don't get. Thanks for further advice and sorry for the rant.

Don't you just delete Lanes after comping?

I haven't gotten around to troubleshooting yet but I will keep that in mind. I used to be pretty good at melodyne and it's just taking me some time to get used to it again. Thanks.

Great idea John thank you!

Right, I closed without saving and I do have a duplicate of the vocal so I'm good. I just need to try it again and see if I can figure out what happened. As you said it may have been too long a clip and that's what caused it

I forgot about undo but i didn't save the project so I'll try again. Thanks John.

Any ideas why? It seems to render OK but the file doesn't output any sound. I've been away from melodyne for a while so it may be user error. Thanks.

Thanks I will give it a try!

Thanks John I will check that out, it's been working in the past and already activated unless a CBB update somehow disrupted that.

No I did not resolve it I just gave up. It shows up in folders in a different daw but still will not play. I thought it might have been a cakewalk update but I don't know. It's frustrating over the years when I get comfortable with my workflow and then things change and I often feel like I'm having to start over. That's technology!

Okay I will give that a try, thank you.

Good idea Lynn thank you.

I used to do it years ago but now that melodyne is destructive regional effects it makes it a lot harder. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Thank you.

Thanks for that article, I like Craig anderton's work a lot!

Thanks for yr input. I found out it works on a bus but not as an insert, for some reason. I have v1.5. It's a cool app.
