Solved by upgrading to Version 5

Email from Celemony support confirms

"The problem is the CPU of your new system, as the code structure of Melodyne 4 is not optimized for Intel's new arising 11th and later CPU generation (Melodyne 4 has been discontinued for nearly three years now). Please take a look at our FAQ to get additional information: https://helpcenter.celemony.com/M5/faqs/?qOpen=299

You will need to update to Melodyne 5 as Melodyne 5 got a complete new code overhaul and is also prepared for the new CPU generations arising."

Fascintating stuff Jerry. 

Sounds like an excellent plan chaps!!

I'm thinking I might have to upgrade to 5, but does it work inside Windows 10 & 11?

Forgot to mention, this is Melodyne Editor, if that makes a difference

The VST2 path contains the file Melodyne.dll

The VST3 path cotains the file Melodyne.vst3

Plugin manager is set to scan both (I can see them being accessed in the toast box) but not showing up in Region Fx

Hi all

I've decided to install Meolodyne 4 on my laptop

I've downloaded and installed it, run the stand alone player and activated it. The standalone player runs ok.

I Rescanned the paths in plugin manager but it's not showing up in Region Fx. All I see is Drum Replacer & VocalSync. I can see it scanning the Melodyne dll but no joy.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks

Nice. Just caved in and bought it

Well that's not your call to make. The bakers will decide what is right for them AND for the user base.

It's never been about quantity, it is about quality.

The quality people use Cakewalk because they are intelligent enough to know the industry secret is that Cakewalk is the best. 😜

Best comment yet

That's the problem right there. Those guitar USB cables are unusable garbage.

The only possible thing they might be good for is strangling a chicken for the dinner table. Maybe.

Doubtful. It would probably break  😁

Export depth has nothing to do with recording bit depth. You should ideally have the latter set to 24 bit, not 16

32bit for exporting is fine

Just hoping it`s a one-off payment...and not monthly. 

That might suit you but it won't suit a lot of people

Of course, it could easily be both, but no doubt some will still find something to whinge about

Ya I know zombie thread but isn’t Channel tools  one of those plug ins that is found hidden in the Excluded list in the plug in Manager?? 

Yep. It's still there in CbB

So let me get this straight: we don't want to use technology because a) there are some idiots out there who don't know how to service it properly and b) there are idiots out there who push it beyond its design limitations.

That sure makes a lot of sense.

 

ABS is supposed to be there for an additional measure of safety on top of driving sensibly. Not so assholes can go driving around recklessly and with a careless disregard for their own safety and that of others.

Totally agree with this. Why on earth he disagrees is beyond me

And you need to uninstall ASIO4ALL. Get rid of it completely, including any registry entries

Ah yes, this makes sense - the selection has a time extent which in this case is dictated by the clip extent.  So it will only select nodes that are under the clips that are selected.

Pretty sure this is how envelope selection has always worked

Oh how I wish that people would stop repeating figures like that.

Cakewalk By BandLab, upon its first release was similar in feature set to SONAR Professional, a program that listed for $199.00 6 years ago.

CbB was never "SONAR Platinum, but now FREE!" SONAR Platinum was a suite that bundled SONAR Professional with a huge pile of plug-ins. I think maybe half a dozen (if that) of the plug-ins that came with Platinum were included with CbB, and I believe a couple that Professional had that CbB doesn't.

We can assign any personal value we want to CbB, but its closest antecedent sold for $199.

 

It's scary how you believe this with over 6.1k posts on this forum.

A few things have come to mind.

The envelopes not getting copied are on the audio track of a VST instrument. Until it is frown, there are no clipcs on it. The clips being copied are on the associated MIDI track. One envelope is a volume envelope so it's obvious to be on the audio track, but the other is an instrument specific envelope (leslie speed on b3). I cannot get it to record it on the MIDI track and must record it on the audio track...

Difficult situation. Especially thinking I now may have to r-do all those changes yet again if I'm not happy with the new arrangement...

<sigh>...

Keni, what happens if you first freeze the vst, then move the generated clip(s) and then unfreeze?

My only concern would be if unfreezing the vst causes the midi to return to its original time

I just ran into this?

 

Seems EA related as I do this often and this is the first time it's not performing as expected...

 

I have a few virtual instruments and one audio track.

I have selected the copy all track envelopes with clips

When I drag a group of clips, the envelopes are not being moved with them?

I will explore more...

 

Have you got this checked under Options

Ripple Edit should do it.

The VX 64 Vocal chain came with an older version of Sonar and is not included with CbB.  If you have an old Sonar edition, it can be custom-downloaded from the installation disc.  The SSL EV2 Channel stereo plug-in is from Waves and can be purchased from them.  As you see in the video, any plug-in can be added via the f/x chain module in the Pro Channel strip.  If these are unavailable to you, not to worry, there are many free VST's that can fill in for these plug-ins.

Minor correction - the VX64 IS included in CbB, it's just hidden by default. Goto the Utilities > Cakewalk Plugin manager and hit "Show Excluded"

But it's hidden for a reason and may well cause instabilities on your system

I started this thread because I find what Noel is saying as all good news for me I felt others would agree. 

I've held off on making any more tutorials about CbB because of the possible changes to the UI. In the first announcement it was not clear on the demise of CbB. Now it's clear, That's fine and probably in a year everyone will have totally forgotten about CbB and moved on.  

There will always be a tiny group of hold outs. There's a whole Face book page populated with Sonar Platinum holdouts  called the Sonar user group,  this will be hilarious because guess what will happen. They are asking questions like " Will the new Sonar be free for all us who paid Gibson a lot of money and got screwed over? " Do you feel that way? I don't because I just got 5 or more  years worth of free updates. I totally see no issues with what is happening. 

And the early access is working 100% for me 

I certainly don't feel that way. I got over the Gibson debacle the day after they announced their intention to throw us to the wolves, fully prepared to stick with Splat or move to a new platform if it no longer worked. 

Which of course never happened. Certainly Bandlab don't owe us anything, thy can only be commended up to this point.

Hey guys, I've seen a couple people say that theyre not starting any new projects while waiting on the new Sonar. I'm wondering if they're saying this due to pricing concerns or because they fear problems carrying over their project to the new system.  

I mainly ask this cause when I downloaded this new EA version, it caused me problems so I had to revert back to an older version. I understand that theyre still working out the kinks but should I be concerned that my current project won't operate correctly with the new Sonar?

I'm just trying to figure out if I'm under somewhat of a time crunch(esp since I'm running an older version) or if I have nothing really the worry about as long as I buy the new Sonar.

Btw I understand nothing's guaranteed, I'm just reaching out for some educated opinions since I'm still wet behind the ears . Thanks 😉

 

Nobody can say for sure what will happen with YOUR system. Every user case is different to the next.

But I updated to the EA on the first day it was available and haven't noticed a single thing wrong with it.

You WILL need to update it at some point because the existing servers which CbB use to refresh your activation will no longer be online. 

The way I see it, you have a choice of 4 courses of action:

1. Update to the final release and use that. This will mean no more updates or bug fixes
2. Upgrade to Sonar when it becomes available
3. Revert to using X2/X3/Platinum
4. Don't do any of the above and stop using it after a period of (max) 6 months.
