I use Melodyne timing adjustment to do this.

It ends up having NO algorithm when using it via ARA only (i.e. when Melodyne isn't loaded in a region fx) , which is what causes Cakewalk to freeze.

Loading it as a Region FX (which you've obviously done in your screenshot) fixes the crash, however sometimes you have to reselect the algorithm for it to actually detect properly. Some people have found it remembers it for the rest of the session, others it happens every time.

The issue was well documented on the old forum at the time:

http://forum.cakewalk.com/Melodyne-420020-Update-m3787050.aspx

http://forum.cakewalk.com/New-Melodyne-Update-in-CbB-m3787454.aspx
 

I'm sure there was an official statement from Celemony at some point recognising the problem, but I can lo longer find it.

 

 

I participated in that thread I think.

My emails to Melodyne produced zilch - their position is that it must be a problem in Cakewalk. It's certainly a pain; I keep meaning to un-install and re-install the old version.

Love it!  🤣

Sounds like the designers have focussed on the interesting, sexy bits, i.e. the sounds and UI cosmetics, and badly neglected fundamentals like usability. I'm hanging fire on this upgrade for now.

I'm still seeing no ads here.  I'm using a laptop and desktop with both Firefox and MSEdge.

Odd.

A load of old PC bollocks.    Everywhere I look now for news all I see is wimmin moaning, well, the liberal elite variety who have nothing better to do. Give it a rest ladies... 🤐

I haven't seen any?

Thanks for the heads up. 😊

I might have bought a couple of new drumkits but they're not in the sale.  Hrmph.

😒

Once you guys get it installed give us a brief review. 

And could you let us know if you find a lot of new stuff please?  I'm hesitant about buying as I don't know if I'd get a lot more usable sounds than what I already have in ST3. 

I just clicked to check for an update. It ran, then told me a can't register a further computer?!?!?  I don't want to register another computer.  I never got that before.  Not really an update then, so I just exited. 🤬

Thanks. 

I can't see any links yet to the change log.

Glad all is well again. 😊

One thing to remember is the resolution of the screen. If it is an HD screen (1920 x 1080), it doesn't matter if it is 18-inches or 60-inches, it is still 1920 pixels across and 1080 pixels vertical. The bigger the screen, the bigger the pixels. So you may find that the larger screen is actually harder to read when you are close to it. You also can't "fit" anymore stuff on the bigger screen than the smaller one, because you are still working with 1920 x 1080 pixels. If you instead move to 4K, you now have 4096 × 2160 pixels, or slightly more than double the number of pixels from HD (true doubling of HD would be 3840 x 2160, so you get a few more pixels to work with length wise). You could place four times as much 'stuff' on the screen when compared to HD.

Thanks, I hadn't realised that.  Looks like 4k is the way to go.  

The dozy drummer is playing all over his solo anyway. 😲

There is NEVER, repeat NEVER a free lunch.  The global players cited either make advertising revenues or saleable data collections or both.   In the run up to doing that they may well peddle something that appears 'free' but that strategy is related to 'land grab',    plain old monopoly building,  in order to do the above later on.  Companies make acquisitions to either (1) speed up the above process and/or (2) take out potential competitors.   I always assumed BandLab acquired CW for the aforementioned synergistic reason(s), e.g. to improve and enlarge the BandLab music sharing service which will eventually carry side bar adverts.  It's not my place to question the validity or otherwise of that.

I'm not criticising our capitalist system, just sayin' how it tends to operate in real life,  that's all.  Good luck to Meng and his crew and many thanks for the vibrant return of CW.

Caveat: I do think the mega-corporations need reigning in.  They've taken the piss in the last few years in the full knowledge that governments are slow to act when they see dangers that need legislating against. And like monopolies of old their rampant greed quite literally knows no limits.   They hold themselves out as cool hip Leftie dudes just trying to make the world a better place.  (That's probably true of most of the naive starry-eyed drones who beaver away in the trendily-furnished bowels of these outfits.)  That may have been the naive original aim but it long ago went by the wayside.  They now use that pose as a disguise for their true  characters and in that respect they are no different from the rapacious mine and mill owners of the Victorian age, despite the bean bag bollocks.   I'm glad this week our government in the UK has read the riot act to the social media giants about their carrying posts inciting self harm and suicide in young people.

Did the email have any attachments?

Email is not possible from the old Cakewalk web page.

Could open a ticket directly with https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

 

Thanks scook.  No, there no attachments.  Thanks for the link, I've sent a support request via that.

I found another page inviting emails for support but that says:-

Hi Grem

Many thanks.   Yes, restart fixes it.    I had it again this morning.     It must be a bug of some kind. I can't see how and why it happens though.

😡

If I click and move the Now time in Track view and then press 'D' to open the Piano Roll View the Now time there is different from the Track view.       I'm sure this wasn't like this before.   Have I accidentally altered an option or something?

😕

My monitor is 27" and I want to go up to a larger one.  I've Googled, but there seem so many with different models and technical attributes I don't fathom.  I don't want a curved screen, but what about resolution?  What other things should I avoid/looking for?  All advice very welcome!

The choice of how Melodyne interprets the data, percussive, melodic, etc.  You can choose a default (that should get saved) so that you don't have to select a type every time you load a clip to work on.

I just received an email announcing the changes:

"Improvements in the current Version 4.2.1

Melodyne 4.2.1 brings the following improvements and numerous minor optimizations all of which make your use of Melodyne more enjoyable, reliable and swift.

New functions and improvements

Faster loading with ARA: In DAWs with ARA support, extensive projects now load considerably faster.

Bug fixes

Fixed: During ARA operation with Mixcraft and Cakewalk, blob monitoring and scrubbing were no longer available in Melodyne if you started playback in the DAW.

Fixed: With Melodyne in Player Mode (i.e. without activating the program on the computer being used), the ARA plug-in sometimes crashed when you switched from Track Edit Mode to Clip Edit Mode.

Fixed: If the detection was aborted after a transfer with the Melodyne plug-in and you subsequently tried to move audio material whilst holding down the ALT key, a crash was sometimes the result.

Fixed: If an audio file was selected in the track pane of the stand-alone implementation of Melodyne studio, adjusting the fine tuning in the inspector sometimes led to a crash."

They haven't fixed the issue introduced in the last update whereby the default algorithm isn't remembered.  It's frustrating as they list Cakewalk as a supported DAW. 😡  Behaviour is ok in Studio One 4 but there's still an issue when I use it in Cakewalk.  I emailed Ulf at Melodyne querying whether this issue is going to be addressed, but sadly he replied:

"So far we cannot reproduce this issue. We need to be able to do this first before we can know if the issue is with us or Cakewalk."  However, in October he told me:

"Alright. We’re on it. But it may take a while."

Can Noel perhaps chime in here and shed some light on this issue?  It is an elusive glitch:  I get it every single time, but I understand some CW users here don't experience it at all? 🤔
