Well I wont change the subject to solved just yet, but after re-running the redistributables in Noels post, then I got a reply from addictive drums with instructions to turn off defender, uncheck a box called controlled folder access in security settings, delete certain addictive drums files, and then download the installer again with defender off, then I reinstalled addictive drums and it worked normally. ? I think I had downloaded melodyne last night and reinstalled it, but it didnt work right, but today after the addictive drums changes it did. Beyond me. So now melodic algo works right, I can edit/cut notes, they are where they should be instead of all in one long blob, I can enter note assignment mode normally. All seems well. My internet is currently at 40 kb sec which is crazy. Anyways, I will be seeing how this goes, and learning from the helpful posts. Thanks to everyone for the informative comments !

Thanks John just starting my day so will look into those you posted asap! I dont know much about any of them so my learning curve has to be awake ha. Maybe wont know what the findings mean ? I started off by a clean install of latest cake, as you said in one of your posts no need any longer to have so many older versions around. My internet is at 227 kbs at the moment so downloads can be challenging! Thanks again

Sweet story, sorry to hear she lived under a tree ?

I ran Noels post program and still not normal. I noticed microsoft edge did something on the 29th, very strange as i dont even use it. Probably did not get any insights into the meaning of life from me!

Ty Lynn, im sure its something with my computer cause so many many things are goofy. I tried all the algorithms and the only one that was sorta normal was percussive pitched on vocals so not good! Although probably workable. I uninstalled melodyne and addictive drums now and will try to figure out the rerun redistributals thing next if thats an underlying issue.

I use melodyne for creative stuff about as much as pitch correction. I hope i get straightened out soon too so i can get back to my song about vertigo, pun intended!

Glad my post didnt deter you, melodyne is amazing! And yes John is so knowledgeable

Hi Glenn ty for the info. Can you tell me how to rerun those? I have no idea! Or point me to info. I did a clean reinstall of latest cakewalk following the instructions and quite a few things are still wonky.

Hi John, thanks. I added studio to my post. I have some other vsts acting weird too, blank gui, addictive drums error msg. So probably just me. I will likely uninstall and reinstall cake tomorrow and try again. I have very slow internet sometimes things dont download well!

Its really being weird. My melodyne version is studio 5.3.1.018. The melodic algorithm is my default, now when it opens there arent any individual blobs only one long blob. If I try to cut the one long blob with the note separation tool, it will not cut. I tried other algorithms and found the percussive pitched gives me the usual blobs and they can be cut and act normally, but this is a vocal track not percussion. I think I can work with it this way, just wondering if anyone else is having melodyne weirdness? I haven't done anything like windows updates lately, and just used melodyne normally quite a bit the other day before I updated to the new cakewalk version. Anybody else? Thanks

did he return your payment? just curious

Condolences. The loss of a close musician friend and collaborator hurts in a special place. Take care

Yes this is how I learned to always render before closing a file!

Hi Glenn, just curious what other products you know cache renderings? Ty

kongratulations! enjoyed your kompletely useless

I don’t quite get how some of us get files in the separations folder and some dont. My computer is offline when Im working in cakewalk. I render asap and before I close a project. I learned early on if you close a file with melodyne active, reopening the file or the work previously done may be wonky so I haven’t done that in years. I don’t cloud anything ever music or other stuff. I have plenty of room in the separations folder, in my example above it was empty. Another of life’s mysteries I guess!

I was puzzled by the comments that if you render the melodyne it does not generate a separation file in that folder because I am in the habit of rendering my work and rarely if ever would close a project with a melodyne open in process and always get files in my separations folder. So I just did an experiment with a one track project and empty separations folder. I edited an audio clip with melodyne, rendered it, closed the project, and a file of it showed up in my separations folder. So it was rendered and the project closed and that separation showed up. Maybe there is a setting somewhere that @John Vere and @Glenn Stanton have setup that I havent? Thanks for any info

Do you have to enter the credit card number etc and after that during checkout then enter the free code? Or do you opt for the trial version then somehow enter the free code? Thanks

Hi Charles, not a dumb question because the folder can get large. On windows, mine is - c/users/(name)/documents/celemony/separations. I hadn't emptied it in a while and its 1.17 gb!

Congratulations on making some progress on your condition. I hope it continues to improve as you work at it. Its very nice that you help your talented friend realize some of his potential too !

I think there would be some similarity. I think of ducking as an intermittent, as needed change and the unmasking as more frequency aimed across the track. Anyways thats how I have used each, but never did together.

Hi Dazzla, I think this could be a very quirky piece with some more work on the mix. The HH as Wookiee says is overpowering and is gone at times also. I would start with working out the rhythm elements like the hh and whatever drums/bass are used. Maybe less HH hits and not so prominent. Then I would add the chordy stuff so they mix nicely, then I would put the vocals in. Lastly the accent stuff. As the song is now, I get what you are going for and like it, it just needs some changes. The vocals are good in form and attitude, but very dark and sound kinda far away from the song body. The song overall as it is now does not sound clear, its kinda muddy and the parts do not seem gelled together. I do enjoy it and encourage you to go further with it. Good luck and keep learning !

Enjoyed it very much, good song, the vocals got a little lost here and there for me but sound great. A few consonant sounds I would melodyne lower. Love the guitar but the opening guitar sustains sounds a little extra distorted/dirty and I like how the guitars sound everywhere else and don’t think I heard that tone again anywhere else. 2:31+ some distracting sounds not sure what. Anyways, another good one and mentions of a few things I noticed.

Really great song done very well, the lyrics are very loving and special too!
