Changes in the current Version 4.2.4 (Starting from Version 4.2.3, which according to our database is the latest version you have.) New functions and improvements Compatibility: From Version 4.2.4 on, Melodyne is compatible with Apple’s macOS 10.15 Catalina. Bug fixes Version 4.2.4 brings various minor bug fixes and optimizations for both Windows and macOS. Comment: Does anyone know if there is a page detailing these "new functions and improvements" and "bug fixes"? I have Melodyne Studio. It would be nice to know what they are fixing and adding. Different colored blobs on multiple tracks would be a real game changer...

Thank you EmeraldSoul for your very helpful critique, if you play the song again linked at the top you will hear the edited, replaced version. Your suggestion to turn down the guitar during the vocal sections was exactly what I was searching for and could not quite put my finger on it. My myopic view was too close to the mix and I also think the snare was too muffled and low, I also adjusted that. There was definitely banding going on between the main guitar and the vocals. Your tip helped me realize the guitar was mostly an effect and not necessarily a backing instrument for the whole song. It is nice you have a really good sense of the mix and are not afraid to speak up and give a solid critique. Hey Freddy J, thanks for the compliment on my vocal performance and the mix. Some of the tracks I purchased from Ueberschall and some of them I made myself. The little sound at the end is one of the arps from Rapture. Thanks Noynekker, for the compliment on the songcraft, it was a bit of a challenge getting the right build from the various tracks. There is a very deep message and it can be interpreted in several ways. To me it is a song about a person who hides their love and who they are, a gay person, who needs to come out into the light and freely be who they are. I am sure it can be interpreted in other ways but that was the thread and emotion that I used to write and create the song. I was inspired by the thought of a rose sitting in a vase on a table in a totally dark room; its beauty unseen until it is lit by a well attenuated and focused light... I like to think my music and creative content can be that light to inspire people to greater achievements in their life. Best regards to you all! RR

Love to you all!!!! 💗

Thanks Scook, I will get an email off to Jon now, best to you!

This is what I thought also but there is no line under the Sonar X3 Studio for a Melodyne serial. Also they got a strange email a while back saying something about how Melodyne was issued twice to a number of customers. It was strange to only see the Sonar X3 Studio listed there and no Melodyne Essential serial... (or any other serials other than Cakewalk) Any help on this would be appreciated.

I have a question, a friend of mine a few years ago bought Cakewalk X3 Studio, I thought Melodyne Essential came with it but I am not sure. I was on their computer remotely and logged into Cakewalk and only the X3 Studio serial and code are listed . I contacted Melodyne and they said they do not store customers Sonar X3 Studio serial numbers. Didn't a working version of Melodyne Essential come with Sonar X3 Studio and if so where do I locate the serial number? Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Here is a new remix and mastering of one of my old songs. It needed some love and I gave it some for your listening pleasure.

Aww thanks AMiller, I really appreciate the nice comment. 😊✨

Thanks CCLarry for the like buddy, best to you!

Please let me know what you think peeps! 💕

Anyone using this plugin with Cakewalk and your monitor speakers? What are your experiences? Is it worth the 300 bucks? Have you noticed if they ever have sales on it? Thanks in advance for any input on this.

Lovely fidelity! The western flair is a nice touch! Great listen! I kinda expected you to bring the beginning music back at the end.

Thanks AMiller for the listen and comment! EmeraldSoul, I much appreciate your comment, it was spot on, it is nice having your level of critique. Hehe the, "Barry White" sections I couldn't quite get the warm low range I wanted with my voice. I may add another organ in sections, I have not fully decided on that one. I am looking into buying SonarWorks Reference 4 Studio Edition. I hope that will clear up some of my bass problems. How many here use Reference 4? I don't own a motor vehicle so taking the mix out to the car stereo and giving it a listen is not possible. Thanks again for the comments and listens Cakewalk peeps!

Thank you Lee, glad you like my song! I really love your comment! 😊

New song Cakewalk peeps! Please leave your comments and suggestions, it is still a work in progress. Best to you all! (BTW, I love the new update!!! ) RexRed

Thank you David, that link was very helpful and so are the new features too! I love them!

I used to be able to click on a clip while Cakewalk was playing in my comping track and Cakewalk would jump to play that clip from the beginning. Now that functionality seems to be gone. Help please.

Thanks AMiller for the compliment, it is great to get the approval of a skeptic

Thank you Kakku, your compliment is very nice indeed.

Big thanks CCLarry, I very much appreciate your comment.

I am always branching out into different styles, lol Let me know what you think Cakewalk peeps.

Thanks Hidden Symmetry and all others for the advice on this song. I am still considering what to do. Maybe I will try other instruments to try and distract people from the drum beat. Organs, brass, distorted guitar chords, instrument melodic fills coming in at different parts.. the part where it stops I think a tom roll would be appropriate. I personally like the monotony of the drums, it reminds me of a song that plays in the tanning bed at my gym. But, I will take your advice and look into trying to do something. I think distraction may be a good ploy. I am thinking the mechanics of this song is that the drums are like a drone or they represent the river. This is why even when the song stops the drums should have a tom roll representing that the river is "unstoppable". BTW, I got this drum loop on splice.com I have bought a ton of drum and other loops from splice and this was just one that I dragged and dropped into a track and seemed to fit the song quite well. But as mentioned before it is a loop so I am limited on how I can edit it. I may be able to isolate the drums or I may just be stuck with using it. I will post something soon in the area of new edits of the song. I will be replacing the song so this version will soon no longer be available. My voice seems a bit buried in the song too but that makes the listener turn up the song more to hear it. Is that a bad thing? I am not sure yet. The edited version will surely be better with a guitar solo in the middle and end. That will also distract the listener from the monotonous drum pattern. Back soon with some new edits Best to you all!!!

Hey AMIller and EmeraldSoul, thanks for the great suggestions! This song needs a lot, I got accustomed to the drums and did not notice the repetition aspect. I will work on that, I am thinking some tom rolls. I used a drum loop so I might try and isolate some beats maybe in drum replacer and try and rework the pattern in places. It is going to have a guitar lead in the center and at the end. Maybe some organ and brass chords in places. The song needs a lot of embellishments to give the sections more differentiation. I will let you know when an uploaded version is available

New song still a work in progress . Your comments and critiques are welcome beautiful Cakewalk peeps! Big love!!! RexRed

Thanks Bjornpdx, I have to credit Cakewalk with the "vintage sound" the 96khz quality with which Cakewalk records in is pristine and full of great dimension that helps recordings accompany other tracks. I used to record with 48khz but found a lot of artifacts when adding effects and editing with Melodyne. It is nice to know that other people take the time on their syllables too to give them the right fit in the music. I think it is really necessary to have a finished product. Having an Intel I9 12 core hyper threaded (24 core) processor does not hurt. Thanks for the comment on my vocals, I suppose I make music for the express purpose of giving my vocals a nice home to live in. It good that some feel this effort has not been spent in vain. Again, thanks to you all for your comments!
