Thanks noynekker... you might notice my post in that thread immediately beliw Craig's first 3... Sadly, trying to stretch the pitch separately from tempo has been less than optimum and this recording is two long sets of songs so the issues are difficult. melodyne free standing does a decent job of pitch shift for it but time stretch not so good as it doesn't average tempo so there are many serious fluctuations that occur... right now i'm missing the good old days when stretching affected both pitch/tempo in relative ratio...

Thanks... i guess i'll continue to work without audacity then... it's supposed to be easy to do in melodyne's universal mode but so far i'm not having any luck figuring it out. i've been using v-vocal all this time as melodyne essentials doesn't have the tools i needed and it eas very simple. I upgraded to assistant the other day and finally editor today but other than my normal pitch editing, the myriad of melodyne tools, options, and methodology i find it a bit difficult...

Thanks John. yeah, funny how things that used to be "normal" are now so hard to do. i do have melodyne which i just upgraded to editor but the learning curve there is daunting. I've been on this for a few days now. i can stretch the audio in CbB and then use transpose, but trying to get the values to coincide is currently beyond my math. ...and using this method I must do each song individually. There are two long sets. If only stretch would do both i could easily repeat the process n one song until the pitch matches the known pitch of the song, then apply that percentage to the entire 2 set recording... How good is audacity results? I could d/l a copy and use that?

Thanks John, but how do I make it shift audio as well as tempo? Currently, stretching with it slows the tempo of the track, but not alter the pitch.

Ok... This seems to be far more difficult than it used to be. i have a file that was digitized from an old tape recording. I don't know who or how, but both the tempo and pitch is too fast/high. i used to simply stretch the clip and both tempo/pitch adjusted relatively, but now only tempo changes. i've been trying to do this now using melodyne, but as a very new melodyne user, the learning curve is daunting. is there some simple method in CbB that allows the pitch to change with the stretch? thanks...

I have been consistently asking for items to allow the ease I had with layers. Right now, I find it as easy comfortable for my normal workflow. ...except for zoom issues and such. I spend far too much time getting to a workable zoom. Why must the track be emphasized larger than the lanes when they are open for editing? If I lasso/select multiple clips in lanes why must me resulting zoom have a tall track and shorter lanes when I wanted nly the lanes to begin with. Why must I be forced to see the selected/promoted clips on the track while editing clips? Yes, it makes it easy to see which are the selected, but confuses my eye and more so if I have lanes open on more than one track. oops... sorry, I didn't mean to push this thread into my old complaints, but it's always on my mind and in my face.

Just to make note. Assistant does not do polyphonic note editing. DNA access is required which only comes with editor & studio.

Thanks. I'll look now for sure. I thought assistant had complete feature set for monophonic editing, but editor up for polyphonic. I guess I read the table wrong last time i looked. I'm planning on editor but i need a ride to town to put more cash on my prepaid card. I decided to buy assistant as it's a step in the right direction and reduces the next upgrade fee whether while the sale is on or after. I'm off to re-read the comparison list in you link. thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Guys! Excellent news. The way I would hope it to be. Now hoping for getting more cash on my card in time for the editor upgrade special. I've been using V-Vocal most often as essentials is lacking in features I need/use regularly. I believe assistant brings those tools so I will be able to switch (with a bit of learning curve. I'm fast with V-Vocal) and I continue to dream of polyphonic editing with editor!

Ahhh... That's what I was remembering. Thanks for the confirmation. I remembered seeing essentials somewhere in the CbB update process. So all I need do is ignore it once I upgrade to one of the paid versions and always follow the update notices only from melodyne? That sounds simple enough... Will this result in two separate installs or will the paid overwrite the bundled? Here's hoping the current issues are resolved soon as well as updating CbB to ARA2?

Thanks! Good to hear!

Thanks scook... Yes, I know but I had not upgraded to 4.2 unless the essentials version did so. I'm headed for editor, but as I have trouble getting money on my prepaid card as quickly as I might want, I decided to buy the assistant upgrade now and hopefully the upgrade to editor within the next few days. When 4.2 was first released, there were many posts regarding issues. Some were regarding the settings for drag pitch to midi and I don't remember if/what else. As I am hoping/planning to buy the editor upgrade within days, I'm holding off on the install and thought it a good idea to know the current status of compatibility between programs. I'm also a bit unsure of how things proceed after I install either update re: CbB updates afterwards. Do I (can I) avoid downloading melodyne essential updates included with CbB? Thanks again! You're the best!

Recently there was much discussion regarding the latest melodyne update and problems in CbB. i was wondering where this is right now. All apoears well with my cake version of essentials and i just bought the upgrade to assistant while on sale. I want editor but i won't have the difference for another few days and figured assistant would still get me closer. With luck i will be able to upgrade that to editor before the sale ends. ...but i have not yet downloaded or installed as i read too many posts regarding problems with the latest and CbB. anyone have any updated info? thanks!

Thanks John... i had to do something similar about 1.5 years ago when a friend asked me to digitize a 3-3/4 tape recording and my tape deck is only 7.5/15 ips... i think i slip stretched it to twice it's length then using radius mix to transpose -12.... i'm gonna try that next as using loop editor will be much more tedious as I must chop it into smaller bits for the editor to accept it. making it more difficult is i really don't know what/how the original clip was created.

Thanks! this stuff looks handy to have/save!

Thanks scook... OK, now I'm getting somewhere. Numbers aren't making sense, but at least the changes have an effect. I doubled the tempo (in the LC window) and dropped the pitch -4 and it sounds somewhat normal.... I just sent a quick copy to the friend I am trying to fix this ofr to see if it sounds more normal to him. The recording is very old and muddy. Someone had transferred it from an old tape. I'm surprised that -6 made the pitch seem slurred as I expected double the speed would need half the pitch? (-12 was totally out of it as was -6) Thanks for the quick solution.... Now to get it fine tuned for my friend. Gonna be a lot of work as the file is two sets of songs and the system wouldn't work with the whole file. I selected a single song, Copied it to a new track and bounced it to itself to finally get it working...

At first i thought this was the solution, as the cursor finally changed, but Pitch doesn't appear to be changing? i tried 110% first then a few more tries all the way to 200% something else for pitch to change with tempo?

Thanks scook... i thought i tried that but i will try again. Pc is busy working so it will have to wait while a win10 iso is being downloaded. thanks for the speedy help!

Trying to slow tempo and lower pitch of a very large file. tried using loop construction window. Complained too big so i chopped off a portion, moved it to a new track and bounced it to itself. i can enable clip looping or clip stretching but neither allows me to clip stretch (ctrl-click on clip end). what am i doing wrong?

Thanks Morten! So cool to have you back on the team! I'm about to see if I can address this. I didn't see the convert notice when it happened. Possibly due to posting from my ipad mini's screen with it's pop up touch keyboard using so much screen real estate. Hmmm... On second thought I might wait until tomorrow as my pc's are all down for the night. It might be easier on one of them instead of the ipad. I used to have my machines on 24/7 but (sadly?) that is not now.

Yeah... It seems to have auto-converted one of my links into a pic. I don't know why and though it's a pic of my album cover, it feels a bit much. I am looking into fixing this...

OK... I just added my sig. now to see if it works?

Yup! Here on ipad looks clean as a whistle. Nice blend of familiar and new that I'm sure to take me a bit to get up to speed. Thanks Gang!

No prob...

Thanks Noel! My apology for missing some names in my post. They were included with all my heart! I am thrilled at the resurrection and all the new prospects!
