No answer for your issue but if you need a workaround meanwhile you could try setting the output of the vst to a new aux track, play and record on the aux track and see if your settings are applied on the aux track version and export that track. If the settings don’t go along to the aux track recording then something is wrong

Ok I tried putting melodyne as a region fx on 4 separate audio clips both all in 1 track or spread out over different take lanes. I didn't edit anything, then did remove melodyne and yes I am left with one solid clip of the 4 pieces combined. So then I made a project folder to experiment on, I put a wav file from cymatics into cake project at 441 24. (First I confirmed it is 441 24 in soundforge.) In the project folder cymatics wav shows in the audio folder. Then I cut up the cymatics wav into clips and spaced them out, put melodyne on the 4 clips of the cymatics wav file and looked in the audio folder again and a new file appeared called audio (bounced, 3).wav. I put that bounced file into soundforge and it says it is 441 32 bit*. After taking off the melodyne, the bounced. 3 when put into soundforge again still says is it 441 32 bit*. I have my cake option render bit depth set to 32 bit. So then I started over in a fresh project and changed my cake render bit depth to 64 bit. Put in a different wav file, checked in sound forge to confirm it is 441 24, the cut it up and spaced clips apart, put on melodyne then took off melodyne, got the combined image in the track, checked the bounced file that is in the project folder's audio folder in sound forge and it now says this bounced file is 441 64. So changing my render bit depth changed what this bounced file is. Somebody with more knowledge than I have will have to comment, it seems like putting melodyne on and off a group of clips is using cakes render bit depth to make them into 1 big clip and replacing the original separate clips with this bounce wav ? Interesting experiment but way more than I understand what's up behind the scenes in melodyne or cake ? I haven't had the problem regularly that you describe of edits being frequently wonky, only happens for me if the edit is too far from the original, and I also never put melodyne on a bunch of clips at one time till this experiment.

I have melodyne studio 5 and it has a "Leveling Macro" feature that can make loud "notes" quieter and another that can make soft "notes" louder. Its pretty simple. I have used it on vocal parts and guitar parts and I like it better than compression for some things. It also has a fade feature that can be used to drop a peak or do a fade on a "note".

Very cathartic! In lancaster pa at longs park for independence day the symphony would play and cannons were shot off at the right times. I moved to az and it seems the cannon master retired in 2015. It was a blast.

I had to smile about your saving projects with different names often, i do the same. I never have selected separate clips in a track to put melodyne on all at the same time so i will try it tomorrow. I either do one clip or the whole track. I have tried to use process - audio - gain on a few separate clips in the same track at one time and gotten very unexpected results so I don’t do that anymore. Thats been my only try to process separate clips weird thing.

Just a quick reply when i have melodyne on a clip i do not want to edit but want to use for reference for another track in melodyne that i do want to edit, when i remove the melodyne from the reference track that i did nothing to in melodyne, it is restored to its original state just fine, which if I understand your situation is not the case for you?

Have you tried comparing the different algorithms in melodyne to see if another algorithm would handle the material better? I have found one gives better results than another at times, but sometimes the edit is just not going to sound ok.

Hey Mark, the new mix sounds great ! I can really hear what the bass is doing now which is pretty cool and I couldn't hear it clearly before and the kick is nice too. Good job with the remix, the song is great.

I don’t have an answer but meanwhile if i was having this issue i would record the midi tracks audio onto an aux track and then cut it as needed and put the audio clip pieces where i want them to play.

Happy St Patrick's Day to you too. I am half Irish via Irish grandparents who married on St Patrick's Day. I really enjoyed the piece. Beautiful instrumentation and I like the way you built the song up as it progressed and the things you chose to add. Good choices. The mix is nice too, balanced and a full range of enjoyable sounds.

I enjoyed the song, enjoyed the message, your voice and your playing. I agree with Bjorn that at times the volume of the song drops a bit too low. I never worked with folk music, but if I was working on this I might eq a bit of brightness into the acoustic's sound just for variety. I might also take out a few mouth sounds which I do to my singing. Just minor things, really good overall! Good vibes back at ya

Really nice remix, great playing and the mix sounds nice and balanced but for the bass and the kick which over here have similar overlapping frequencies at times so not easy to pick out one from the other. I'm not in a perfect room for sure, but that's my only suggestion about it. Enjoyed your song!

Hey Bjorn and David, Thanks for listening and for the positive feedback, much appreciated ! I did have fun making that bass line and the stuff around it, glad you enjoyed it. Those variants are mutating and simmering around these days, so I wanted to make music about their floating presence and trying to stay ahead of it. Glad it worked !

Thanks t...glad you enjoy my songs, appreciate the encouragement! Yeah the allergies, I got the ears ringing now too...

Thanks for listening and comments Makke freddy j and jack c. I’m glad you let me know you liked it or found it interesting! Appreciate the positive feedback!

Good fun tune and I enjoyed the video too. The drummer's changing facial expressions cracked me up.

Cool song for sure, interesting video and goes well with the song. Love the horn playing, but really everything is very good. Maybe the bridges in the red rocks area is over the colorado river? Looks like it might be.

Excellent as usual, great playing, great arrangement, mix works very well, unexpected here and there, great everywhere

Fits right in over here in Arizona, enjoyed it and your art too! Nice mix.

Yes the changes you made really improve the mix. The lyrics are much clearer and stand out more overall. Good work making a good song even better!

Just had some quick fun with some free stuff and also my purchase of Triad during the PA recent sale. Not sure what to call this one. The picture is 3 of my Mexican folk art carvings that are called alebrijo, which I think means fantasy. This type I think is called aliens. There are some that are amazing ! I have maybe a dozen of different types. I thought they went well with the concept of covid-19 variants coming for ya. Wanted to capture the motion aspect of motion and running, and some weird stuff floating around in this song. Thanks for listening or comments, stay safe from these guys, Treesha

Yeah that would get tedious. Since you are used to working in PRV has this happened before?

I have no idea why that is happening, I have never tried to copy and paste from one track to another in PRV. If you need a way to do it meanwhile, if you are in track view, you can separate into a clip the parts in the track you want to copy from, the copy and paste that clip into the track you want to add it to. This is how I have done it.

Agreed your questions aren’t dumb and this is the place to ask them. Yeah its a balance between spending time learning and having fun creating. I learn new stuff all the time about cakewalk itself and all the toys i have gotten. Some things about cakewalk are intuitive or can be resolved by messing around. Other things need someone experienced to help with. I try to spend time learning and spend time creating. Its really a lot to learn but at a certain point one becomes somewhat competent in the basic stuff and spends less time in wtf??!! Which is no fun at all... But that still can happen ha

The stereo bus if created will be in the console view on the right where the master should also be, not the track view
