scook 2,744 Posted January 21, 2019 It may help to know which version of Melodyne the OP is using and what task is "too glitchy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Pavone 0 Posted January 21, 2019 Melodyne is 4.2.0.020, I noticed there's a new version now. I have a lot of trouble trying to move the blobs around. I'll move a blob and the pitch doesn't change, or it won't let me move the blob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll move a blob and the pitch doesn't change, or it won't let me move the blob. I've found this happens when I've chosen the "wrong" detection algorithm for the job. Try changing the detection algorithm, and see if this helps. Note however, although you can switch algorithm whilst the editor is active in the MultiDock, you'll lose your previous edits. So try the various detection algorithms first, then stick to that. If you need to switch and keep your edits, bounce to clips, then create the region fx again. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Pavone 0 Posted January 21, 2019 Yes, Essential. Thanks again for the info, hopefully I won't have to switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,744 Posted January 22, 2019 Essential provides a limited number of detection algorithms. Read about them here Polyphonic material requires Melodyne Editor or Studio. Watch for sales. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney Earl Goodroe 142 Posted January 22, 2019 Melda Productions has a nice freebie and a pay pitch tuner that is very affordable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
53mph 249 Posted January 23, 2019 If you have any older versions of Sonar, you might find V-Vocal does what you want. I haven't checked whether it ports to CbB yet. Does anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,744 Posted January 23, 2019 The last version of SONAR including V-Vocal was X2. V-Vocal was a Roland product. It was not sold to Gibson so, it was not part of the BandLab purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keni 92 Posted January 23, 2019 Just as a note... Until a week ago, I have quite happily used V-Vocal with great success. As I only has Melodyne essentials (being too poor to upgrade), essentials doesn't have enough tools for the results I seek. A bit of fortune enabled me to upgrade Melodyne to Editor and I am slowly learning how to work with it. I've had some good results and lots of frustration as I find the learning curve far steeper than V-Vocal to accomplish similar results so we will see... I find audio quality mostly quite excellent with both programs. Neither program causes any kind of glitches in CbB's performance (with rare exceptions).

Waves Tune Realtime Waves Tune I have Nectar (the full version) and I love it... it is excellent for giving a performance that little lift one sometimes needs. but it is not good for any in depth editing you'll need melodyne for that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iZiKKO 8 Posted February 8, 2019 Has anyone uninstalled the Melodyne demo from Cakewalk? Just wondering how to go about it as it is not really useful until you pay the $99-$499 activation fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll move a blob and the pitch doesn't change, or it won't let me move the blob. I ran into that problem myself, and it turned out that I had the wrong option set somewhere. For some reason it was set to snap to a grid, so I'd try to move a blob and it would keep snapping back to its original location. I figured "this just can't be happening, it can't be the way this works," so I dug into the help file and figured it out. I unchecked the option and voila, Melodyne started letting me move the blobs and they stayed where I moved them and the pitch changed. Wish I could remember it offhand so I could share it with you, but it was months ago and I haven't used it since. Try looking for a way to turn off snapping to grid, or switching it to snap to scale or something. You might ask about this in the Q&A or main forum before you give up on Melodyne. When I got it working properly, it worked a treat and was easy to use and very natural sounding. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
