Is Auto-tune region FX compatible with Cakewalk and Sonar?

[Carlos Pérez]

I am trying to use Autotune as a region FX but it just makes the clip silent and doen't process any audio. The Auto-tune interface appears empty.

I tried to use it in both Cakewalk and Sonar.

It works in other DAWs.

I'm having the same problems. Autotune works OK when using the Insert Audio FX option, but when you try to make a region of an audio track the result is as show above.

Frustrated by the inability to make regionFX work for autotune under Cakewalk I may have found a way to work around this bug. Let me show: first I created a new project in cakewalk and an audio track:

Step 1: first I created a new project in cakewalk and an audio track:See first picture.
Step 2: then I created a region FX for Autotune see second picture. nothing works at this point in Autotune.

Step 3: But still: save the file and close Cakewalk

Step 4: When you have a look at the taskmanager, you see Cakewalk is still active even after you have closed it,  Close Cakewalk now in the taskmanager (or do a restart).

Step 5: Open Cakewalk once again . Now you see the audio in Autotune and you can work with it as aspected.

couple of thoughts - you might exclude your CW from your A/V and make sure any cloud services are not conflicting with the app and any plugins which might use say OneDrive for caching etc. have 40 A/V instances running is not a great thing...

if the Autotune isn't able to use ARA then region FX may be limited to the plugin handling of the separation files etc used to keep memory under control and the overhead within the DAW.

Once Auto-Tune is open in Multidock, try reclicking on the Track View clip for the audio to appear.  I often have to do this with Melodyne.

From Auto-Tune:

I see you still had the track in record standby. That’s probably why. You can’t work on regional effects when track is still armed.

Thanks John. That's a good suggestion. Have tried it but same result. The workaround I discribed above (save the created region, stop Cakewalk and open it again)  is only working for my system.  The suggestion made by Glenn needs some studying on my part.  There's plenty of memory (64GB) and SSD drive space (4TB) on my system.

I forgot to mention that after reopening Cakewalk you may need to use the Re-track button on Autotune.

Thank you for your workaround!! it worked for me with the retrack button.
