Bristol_Jonesey Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Hi all I've decided to install Meolodyne 4 on my laptop I've downloaded and installed it, run the stand alone player and activated it. The standalone player runs ok. I Rescanned the paths in plugin manager but it's not showing up in Region Fx. All I see is Drum Replacer & VocalSync. I can see it scanning the Melodyne dll but no joy. Any idea what is going on? Thanks Edited September 23, 2023 by Bristol_Jonesey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Go find Melodyne in Utilities > Plugin Manager and confirm that it's in a default location for VST2 (usually Program Files\Cakewalk\vstplugins\) or VST3 (usually Program Files\Common Files\VST3\). If it's under some other path, you can just add that path to Scan Paths under Options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 The VST2 path contains the file Melodyne.dll The VST3 path cotains the file Melodyne.vst3 Plugin manager is set to scan both (I can see them being accessed in the toast box) but not showing up in Region Fx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Forgot to mention, this is Melodyne Editor, if that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) i have Melodyne editor as well but version 5 which is exclusively 64-bit. do you see the Melodyne listed in the Audio FX explorer? if so, can you drag it into your track FX and use the "transfer" button?

Bristol_Jonesey Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 I'm thinking I might have to upgrade to 5, but does it work inside Windows 10 & 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) yes. i've had it running in W10 and now W11 with no issues. oh, and you're going to like the v5 features much more than v4 ?

John Vere Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Highly recommend the upgrade if you use Melodyne a lot. Like Cakewalk they have really come a long way with improvements. But sign up for e mail and check for specials. I upgraded from 4 to 5 Assistant for $100. Then next sale I upgraded to studio for another $100. So total investment over last 6 or more years $250. Full price for Studio is $400. It sure would be nice if Cakewalk followed a similar pricing and activation policy as Celemony does. Cakewalk and Melodyne make fore a very powerful combo especially for singers and guitar players. I love the way I can go in and remove a low E that droned when you play a D cord. My guitar chops are on the decline as arthritis slowly sets in so I need all the help I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Sasor Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Either version of Melodyne should work, but from experience, 5 is way more stable. The VST3 version is what loads as the ARA effect in Region FX. If it's in the VST3 folder, then check it's not being excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website says: Windows Intel or AMD Dual Core processor (Quad Core or better recommended), 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended), Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11, ASIO-compatible audio hardware.

Bristol_Jonesey Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Email from Celemony support confirms "The problem is the CPU of your new system, as the code structure of Melodyne 4 is not optimized for Intel's new arising 11th and later CPU generation (Melodyne 4 has been discontinued for nearly three years now). Please take a look at our FAQ to get additional information: https://helpcenter.celemony.com/M5/faqs/?qOpen=299 You will need to update to Melodyne 5 as Melodyne 5 got a complete new code overhaul and is also prepared for the new CPU generations arising." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Solved by upgrading to Version 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
