[Not A Deal] Melodyne 5.3 Update

[rasure]

New in Version 5.3

The update to Version 5.3 contains improvements and bug fixes, which is why we recommend it to all users. Moreover, Melodyne 5.3 is required for ARA integration into Pro Tools 2022.09.

New features and improvements

• Surround: In both ARA and Transfer modes, Melodyne can now also be used for the editing of tracks in the standard surround formats.
• ARA in Pro Tools: Melodyne 5.3 comes with all the technical prerequisites for ARA integration into Pro Tools from Version 2022.09 upwards and thus makes a significantly improved workflow in Pro Tools possible.
• Preferences: When Melodyne is employed for the first time as a plug-in, it loads the set of keyboard shortcuts corresponding to the DAW you are using.

Bug fixes

• Recording: In the stand-alone implementation of Melodyne, you can now also use a recording device with a mono input (e.g. a MacBook microphone).
• ARA in Cubase: When moving an ARA event to a track that is not selected, the selection in Melodyne is now retained.
• Pro Tools: The position of the playback cursor in Melodyne is now correctly updated even when playback is stopped.
• AAX in Pro Tools: When bouncing/committing, Melodyne now correctly evaluates the offline setting.
• The Correct Pitch macro: When the macro was applied to a very large number of notes simultaneously, Melodyne would sometimes freeze. This no longer happens.
• Preferences: Previously, in ARA mode, the keyboard shortcut for “Playback Selection” was erroneously listed under “Others” instead of under “Transport Bar”. This has been fixed.
• The Note Inspector: The input field for Sibilant Balance now reliably accepts input even when multiple tracks are being edited simultaneously.
• ARA in Cakewalk by Bandlab: Under certain circumstances, Melodyne would crash when loading a session. This has been fixed.
• Ableton Live: The cause of random crashes when Melodyne was running in Live 11.1.1 under macOS Monterey on a Mac with an M1 chip has been detected and eliminated.
• Note editing: The “Restore Original” commands in the Edit menu now behave more consistently in the stand-alone implementation, in the Transfer plug-in and under ARA.

Cool that they addressed a bug specific to Cake by Bandlab

Now, does this mean after I update to the new version, and the first time  load the plugin it will sync with my Cakewalk KB SC?

Or do I need to uninstall, and reinstall to get this new feature?

I don't think that they changed the worst thing that is out of sync to any DAW: The scrolling and zooming!

IMO it is a real disaster when you work with Melodyne in any DAW, because the scrolling and zooming is completely different (no mouse wheel + ctrl/alt/shift). Okay, I am a bit older (not so flexible anymore), but I guess also younger people have some trouble to change always the scroll behavior switching between the DAW and Melodyne! 😉
