Thanks for the replies
I upgraded to Melodyne 5 Studio last June 2021 (not Editor as I previously stated) and this " error" *just* started showing up recently. Since that upgrade, I have added a few new plug-ins which is why I suspected a potential conflict. I may try to reinstall Melodyne and see if that helps. Currently, I do what Treesha said ("close it and move on") but it's kinda of unprofessional when a client is sitting next to you during a session using Melodyne and keeps seeing the error. As John mentioned, I do use short clips and render afterwards most of the time but this "error" occurs when I insert it on a clip and after I render it, so it's 2x per use. So you can imaging how many times it can occur during a vocal tuning session...
I opened a service ticket with Celemony and will follow up if we make any progress... here's their initial reply:
Dear Jeff,
This is Rob at the Celemony Technical Support for Melodyne. Thanks for reaching out!
when I insert Melodyne on a region
Do you use Melodyne as an ARA or as a Transfer plug-in?
Cakewalk error "Cannot find or open file".
Yes, this is a Cakewalk Error message, not from Melodyne.
Have you heard of this or have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
We have never heard about such an issue, so we can't say anything yet. As our regular tests with CbB also do not show such issues, it would be helpful to send us one session in question so that we can investigate on the session itself. It would help us to nail down your issue better if you could send the files via Dropbox, Wetransfer or Google Drive and send the link where we can download the files as a reply to this e-mail. Please remember that for a requested session all files incl. audio files of the project are needed.
Best,
Rob
