Melodyne assistant problem

[timboalogo]

I'm running the latest assistant (4.2.1.003) with the latest CwB. I've had this problem for some time, so it's not just the versions.

1) I record a series of vocal tracks

2) Edit them with Melodyne

3) Record a guitar track and during recording, the vocal track comes in exactly 1 bar late

Has anyone else experienced this?

I take it you're using Melodyne as a Region FX (as opposed to putting it in the FX bin) ?

Sorry, I forgot to say it is a Region FX.

Have you got any look-ahead plugins on the vocal track?

Try bypassing FX and see it that solves it. If it does, then look at what plugins you're using.

Also, when using Melodyne consider "Bounce to clip(s)" after editing. I've never been comfortable leaving a region fx open for any length of time.

+1 to that. Seems to take care of a few lingering issues.

Thanks, guys,

I'm lucky that I'm in front of my DAW right now and see that bypassing the effects bin and sends didn't make a difference. I guess I'm going to have to take your advice on bouncing, but I often go back to re-edit the vocals. Or mute them during the next record.

I find that Melodyne does strange things. 

Thanks for the advice,

Timbo

Keep a copy of the original tracks.

I have not tried but you may be able to duplicate the track before rendering the melodyne clips and archive the duplicate.

Good thinking!
