I wish I never downloaded it ... it was my legit upgrade w my serial number .. I paid close attention to the install and did every thing correctly and now this is what I have ..pics Now I have to play the waiting game ...on my support ticket I was OK w 4 and I have upgraded on my other computer to the next version of Melodyne up from essentials a while back I just don't like when stuff breaks for no reason Kenny, were you trying to load Melodyne 5 in a project that has Melodyne 4 in it? I read on the Reaper forum that this was a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on the Reaper forum that this was a problem. Hi S.L.I.P. No as far as what you just asked ..Yet I think I solved the problem ... I have a few lap tops . On the Windows side 3 are W 10 and one is a W 7 64 HE pro ....after reading the fine print over at Celmony SP ? I noticed the Melodyne 5 machine spec listed was Windows 10 only ....I was on my Win 7 machine which I happen to love and I had installed the upgrade straight up on good faith w out reading all the other Jazz a smart person would read ..lol I just got done doing a system restore and uninstalling all traces of Melodyne ...then I hunted down my older Melodyne version Zip and did an install from that ...everything thing seems to be working OK and I'm back to what I had before .I guess things would have been smooth had I been been using one of my Win 10 machines ... thanks for offering your help Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you didn't because after all this social distancing my poor right arm looks just like this after a S.L.I.P. scantily-clad woman picture show ... I'm gonna have to change my screen name to The Jack Hammer if I keep having to hold my guitar pick this way ... .

Maybe @cclarry could edit his OP to include this info - might save somebody else from finding out too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @cclarry could edit his OP to include this info - might save somebody else from finding out too late. Yes this was a very easy mistake for me to have made . Right off the bat after opening Melodyne for something I was doing in a musical clip , Melodyne went full charge to an upgrade offer in my acct and provided me with a individualized download w my e mail and other info ... Once there , I actually wanted to see and read about what was going on over there so I had to open up another browser since I was locked into my download info I have Assistant on 2 of my computers and I wanted to find out if I had to ante up to go from 4 to 5 . To make a long story short I never found out ...There is nothing easy about navigating their site unless you want to compare going over there to peeling an artichoke FWIW after toasting my Win 7 computer and having sent support an e mail , I realized the root of my problem was 2 things ...Melodyne 5 does not support Windows 7 and I had made a rookie mistake ... Oh BTW support did get back to me and let me know that Win 10 is the minimum requirement... It took me the better part of last night to get my computer back to what it was .... Currently I'm back on one of my Win 10 computers and I'm not upgrading anything on it until I find out what is going on . I'm happy Essentials 4 to Essentials 5 is a free upgrade yet I still have no idea what it would cost me to go from Assistant 4 to Assistant 5 ... I got lots of time to figure that one out ( lot's of time means no extra cash ) LOL I'm not gonna break anything else trying to fix that which is not broken ...when I get some extra coin, only then may I change my mind .

S.L.I.P. Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) It looks like $49 dollars to upgrade from Assistant to Assistant 5, At AudioDeluxe. They also have a 15% discount code that you can use: SPRING2020. https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/audio-plugins/celemony-melodyne-5-assistant-upgrade-assistant Edited May 30, 2020 by S.L.I.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I don’t get why the Studio 4-5 update is so much more expensive than the updates for the lesser models. Assuming the new features have X value, aren’t they just adding those same features having X value to each of their models? .....or am I missing something? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest version with "New" on their feature list is in Assistant (2 of them), the rest are in all four versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right there is an astute observation and valid argument for a more equitable upgrade price structure. Rocky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Have just read the review of Melodyne 5 in the July edition of Sound on Sound. I appreciate the upgrade will be cheaper if I wait, but the article really sets out in depth what is new - no brainier upgrade for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My exact thoughts and the reason why I didn't upgrade automatically.

pbognar Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I've gotten into the habit of creating a Windows System Restore Point just prior to installing / updating software. You just never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.r Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 A quick question: if I upgrade my Melodyne 4 Essential to v.5, can I still keep the v.4 on my other Win7 laptop, do they allow that (since v.5 is W10 only)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think not, as your account (and downloads) will show v5. OTOH will they ever know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
