It is the only ilok software manager plug-in I have that only grants a single authorization.

There are others though such as Xils Lab, Metric Halo and Zynaptiq.

It may be because their products originally required a dongle and the manufacturers have not bothered to change their activation policy after adding PC activation.

May need to setup the Sound Blaster for stereo operation to use the ASIO Driver.

I believe this is done in the Sound Blaster Z-Series Control Panel software supplied with the card.

Make sure nothing is selected in the MIDI output section in preferences.

Automatic use of TTS-1 only happens when no MIDI output device is enabled.

Most Windows programs do not use ASIO. It is not unusual for Windows programs to work along side a program using an ASIO driver.

AFAIK WASAPI Exclusive is just that...a driver for exclusive use of one program with the device.

To share the device a different driver must be selected.

May be able determine this from the com.celemony.melodyne.plist file in %appdata%\Celemony Software GmbH

I believe the default algo is stored in MUAnalyzerParameterDefaultSetPrefKey

Dragging the audio clip to a MIDI track *should* still work, even if your trial has ended.

Do you know which algorithms are used when the trial expires? IIRC, there are 3 monophonic algos: Universal, Percussive and Melodic. Is it set up to automatically switch between them based on the clip or is it set to use one of them?

its a huge file

dumps compress quite a bit when zipped.

Not really enough information to go on.

It may be plug-in related. Avoid using 32bit plug-ins.

Here is some info on how to report crashes to support

The Melodyne installer from BA may still be on your machine. It should be in the Windows program list. You could try running a repair using it.

You have a full license for a commercial version of Celemony. It came with X3 Producer. It required creating an account at the Celemony site. The installer is available from your account on their site. The upgrade to Melodyne 4 Essential was free.

As a registered user of Melodyne (IIRC you have X3 Platinum), you should be using the installer from your Celemony account.

The VST3 plug-in is used for Region FX. The default install path for the plug-in is "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Celemony\Melodyne"

The echo could be the result of enabling input echo on the track(s) in the DAW while also directly monitoring the mics in the interface. Turn input echo off when using direct monitoring. This may also solve the level problem.

Try this from the main menu Edit > Preferences

• Make sure the radio button at the bottom of preferences is set to Advanced
• Click Configuration File under Audio
• Set UseHardwareSamplePosition to False
• Click the Reload Config Settings button

Yep, always been a freebie

Here are the instructions for a clean install. This will clean up the registry and let you perform the install as if it were the first time. If you have installed 3rd party plug-ins under either C:\Program Files\Cakewalk and C:\Program Files(x86)\Cakewalk consider temporarily moving the folders containing the plug-ins before performing step number 9.

The the data is not locked and the edit filter is set to Notes, it could be the tool selected. I mostly use the smart tool. That said, I think it is easier to work in the full Piano Roll View than the inline view.

In the track view to gain access to the notes in a MIDI clip change the edit filter ("A" in the image below) to Notes. This engages the inline piano roll view. When the edit filter is set to Clips, all operations are at the clip level.

Or use one of the other MIDI views such as the Piano Roll View.

This points to a MIDI scale control.

The MIDI scale is documented here

The Audio scale is documented here

yes

Make sure to

• use one of the driver modes that can share a driver such as WASAPI Shared (in Win10), WDM or MME (always the last choice).
• set Windows and Cakewalk to the same sample rate. In Windows this is set in the audio device properties. In Cakewalk this is set in preferences for new projects and projects that do not have any audio clips. Projects that have audio clips get their sample rate from an audio clip header.

That's what I'm trying to avoid.

If this is in response to the suggestion to run a VST reset from preferences, there is no reason to avoid the process.

A rescan is not the same as a reset. A VST reset clears and rebuilds the plug-in inventory in the registry. Platinum and CbB have their own inventories in the registry. The reset only affects the inventory of the DAW issuing the reset.

Always run the scanner whether performing regular scans or resets from preferences. Do not run the scanner from the plug-in manager.

If you do elect to run a VST reset consider generating the scan log.

The documentation has a New Features section at the top of the table of contents. There is also a "What's New?" option in the CbB main menu help that links to the current release notes and notes for all previous releases.

By layout, I guess you mean the way the entire screen looks not the plug-in layout. Chances are a workspace is involved. These used to be called lenses. Either create your own custom workspace or set it to None.

Yeah, you will likely need a regular keyboard or pad controller to drive soft synths.

FWIW, SI-Drums is velocity sensitive but most of the kit pieces have only 3 or 4 velocity layers.

Until you get a proper MIDI input device, forget about clicking the plug-in UI with a mouse; use your PC keyboard and the virtual controller built into the DAW for real time input or enter the notes directly in the step sequencer, piano roll or staff view.
