I looked, and couldn't find.

Melodyne is fixed! Woo hoo! Other items are very cool too!

I have an update. I tried using Replika as a delay instead and I had the same issue. As I was listening to the track without any delay--it happened again--which means it wasn't the delay to begin with. I just hadn't tested it enough times without the delay to have it randomly occur again. Something is going on with AD and sending to a bus with compression and then combining the two bus' outputs. I froze the drum track for now and it doesn't seem to happen--even though the frozen track is still routing a send to the same bus that has a bus compressor on it. It's puzzling for sure. More tests to single out the cause, because ultimately it will be unusable if I can't get the crisp EQ I need 100% of the time--certainly during the final mixing.

So, it was educational.

That's interesting. Thanks.

Hello The DDL is in a separate bus and my drum track is using a send. I'll try the 0/100 dry/wet and see if that helps. Anytime I hear the word artifacts, I run the other way! So, I'm thinking of getting my plan B dialed up.

Now get back to music! ?

Yeah, I'm going to try that to check it, but I'm still early in the editing stage so I'll still need to tweak stuff--but better see if it's going to work now, right?

Can't get the images to load. The links look dead.

Yeah, I thought about that and I have AD set at dry. Just strange...it's as if the delay "cycle" keeps going when the track isn't playing.

Had another thought...I actually am still using the vst template from Sonar Platinum. Are you pointing to your template from SPLAT or is this a new one you created in BL?

Just wondering how many of you are or were members and how it worked out for you? http://www.taxi.com

Hmm -- I typically don't need/use mono versions, but I do have UAD Powered Plug-Ins. I'll take a look tonight and see if I can figure out how to list them. I'm guessing you already checked the excluded plug-ins list?

Hello All-- This one is kind of bugging me. I'm on my 2nd project using Addictive Drums. I usually use kontakt, but I needed a retro 80s sounding synth drum. Sometimes when I start playing a track, the snare sounds fine--the way I want. Sometimes it sounds muffled, like the frequency is off, or maybe a snare is out of phase. It is random, and happens about 50% of the time. I've determined it's the delay--as I bypass it and all is well.. The delay is new to me. It's iZotope Dynamic Delay. I have the time set to 58.8 ms and is synced to the host (which I would think would make the delay the exact same each time I play the track). When I turn the sync off--there is no improvement. Here's my setup. Drums are still in MIDI/Audio format on two tracks. The audio track out goes to a clean stereo bus, which goes to the master (hardware) out. Also, on the audio track I have a send going to another bus that has a bus compressor and a delay inserted into it. (compressor --> delay) That bus then goes to the master (hardware) out. I've got other delays I can use if this one doesn't cooperate. I just didn't want to throw in the towel on it until I see that it isn't fixable. Thanks all!

Yo Jono I'm not in front of my DAW right now or I could be more specific, but I save a VST template in the utilities, plug-in manager. There, I have categories, folders, etc. If I want the mono version of a VST plug in, I add it to that template. Now, when you go to track where you want to add the plug-in, organize your plug-ins by the name of the template you created. You should see the mono versions of your plug-ins. Maybe you could create a folder or separator named Mono and put the plug-ins in there. That might make it easier to find. If I've completely lost you, I understand. I'll add more details once I'm in studio.

I've been using it since the stone age when it was called, Cavewalk.

I used to have major system crashes when I would unfreeze MIDI or soft-synth tracks. I was able to trace it back to not having enough system RAM--now my current rig has 16 GB's and I don't have that issue--thank goodness!!

I've found from my own experience, if you spend a little extra on your computer (DAW) even if you go over budget a little, it totally increases the ROI because of being able to do upgrades later on. I get many years out of my PC purchases following this formula--oh yeah, and a rocket ship DAW in the process!

Hey Luke, OT, but why don't you go for the full free version of Cakewalk? This is really old, but look at the feature difference using Platinum. Other than the plug-ins, that's what Cakewalk is now--mostly take note of the 64-bit feature.

I got the high ohm version, and man it's scary having to crank the volume up almost all the way (80%). I feel like if there's a system pop or something, they're gonna blow. Also, be advised, they accentuate the low end. If you want accurate headphones for mixing, these might not be the ones for you. I use various references for mixing/mastering, so I know how to judge the bass--but wanted to point that out. They are really good headphones. They are comfortable and have cloth instead of that flaky peely rubber stuff that gets all over your ears after a couple years. Maybe you saw this, but here is how they recommend you decide.

Yes @Noel Borthwick The algorithm doesn't kick it automagically once a region is selected for Melodyne. I'm sure there are other issues too, but that's the one that was most important to me. Sounds like a patch/update is on the horizon. Great news!

Great!! I'll get working on this and email you directly.

Hey All I know there was a bug with the last paid version of Melodyne and many of you reverted back to the older version as a workaround. Do we have an update on when the bug will be fixed? Last I heard directly from Celemony, they were working with the Cakewalk engineers on a fix. Thanks!

I'm not in front of my DAW right now, but something in the dialog box after you choose to export, check the source to make sure it's not set to track. You'll want your hardware device, 'entire mix' etc.

I guess the OP didn't expect too much success since they haven't posted back since all of these excellent replies.
