Eugene Tsepenuk 11 Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) On end of 2018 Celemony offered to upgrade from Melodyne 4 Essential to 4 Assistant. And they stated: Quote Your next major update: free of charge Melodyne is constantly being further developed and improved. Now you, too, can profit – free of charge. Because if you update or upgrade now, you’ll get not only the current Melodyne 4 but also the next major Melodyne update for free. Well, I think "5" is a "major". Or no?.. 🙂 Edited May 26, 2020 by Eugene Tsepenuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fleer 8,013 Posted May 26, 2020 Meanwhile, on the “What’s new” front: only the new Fade and Sibilant Tools didn’t trickle down to Essential. BUT Essential does include the other new stuff: New: “Melodic” algorithm with sibilant detection – for perfect yet invariably natural-sounding results New: Musically weighted pitch analysis – for psycho-acoustically optimal intonation correction New: Leveling macro – reduce or eliminate excessive volume disparities between notes New: Chord Track and chord recognition – bring notes into line harmonically, extract chords from audio New: “Percussive Pitched” algorithm – for instruments such as tabla and berimbau or 808 kick drums Yowza! Not bad for a free upgrade. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lizzie Foster 238 Posted May 26, 2020 Okay, Audio Deluxe still has Studio 3 to 4 upgrades for $49 less discount. I forgot I updated Editor and not my Studio 3. So got the 3/4 upgrade and free update to 5. It worked. And? When they 6 comes out, I will have a version 4 available for a discounted upgrade. 😁 I guess I should record some vocals and play with it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it worth the $44.27 to upgrade to the new Melodyne 5 Assistant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember how long it takes to happen, but it usually does at some point. Looking at my purchase history I bought last two upgrades in late December, so I guess that would have been when the offer was on - probably a BF start / purchase by 31 Dec type deal. I'm not one of the must have it the second it's out types, so it's no biggie for me to wait a while, plus any bugs will be ironed out by then. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Roseberry 745 Posted May 26, 2020 The new "Sibilance" feature is (alone) worth the cost of the upgrade. Some really useful improvements... 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GroverKen 89 Posted May 26, 2020 Price to upgrade up from $44.27 to $55.40 already. Don’t think I’ll bother at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Walton 1,473 Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Given some of the previous tools /functions were not as perfect as they suggested on the last update to the flagship products. I'm a little surprised to see a number of people saying it is worth it before even testing it for more than a couple hours? This isn't exacltly a cheap upgrade especially for the Studio 4 users.

I've had Studio, Editor, Assistant and Essential on my computer. When I upgrade, they don't remove the old versions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Perry 803 Posted May 26, 2020 However, updating 4 to 5 trashes the 32 bit install of 4 if that is important to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshall 231 Posted May 26, 2020 I use Melodyne extensively and the new features will really help me, but I’m on Studio and $149 to upgrade would sure benefit from a 50% discount. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Foxall 215 Posted May 26, 2020 The upgrade fee from Editor 4 to Editor 5 was reasonable and I'm doing more in Melodyne so I bit. I would like to get Studio for multi-track support but will wait for a sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
