Export to MP3 Artifact Oddity with Presonus 192 and Melodyne
So here is the situation. I have a Presonus 192 that I have been very displeased with for almost a year now. I had hoped through firmware and driver updates it would get better which it has somewhat but still not to where I need it to be. That being when I export my projects I have noticed a troublesome issue. When using projects with ARA Melodyne enabled on my vocal tracks in random spots develop an artifact of a vocal which will pop into the mix on the mix down. So in other words after the project has been mixed down to a MP3 and as I listen to the MP3 I will hear a split second of the voice in a random few spots of the song. When listening to the song through Sonar (the project not the MP3) there are no artifacts. Now Oddly enough if I switch to my Focusrite 6i6 interface the issue is resolved when listening to the MP3. I know it sounds to be the 192 as the issue but wondering if there is a work around.
Thank you

Have you tried rendering the Melodyne sections before you do a mixdown? It's been generally accepted for a while now that once you've got Melodyne parts the way you want them, bounce them so they aren't rendered "on the fly" when you mixdown.

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about it but like/need the flexibility of if I'm not pleased with an edit I can always go back and tweak it. By applying it it's locked in and as far as I know I can't go back unless I saved a different version of the project. I guess if need be once I get to that point where I'm in my final final mix down phase the vocals will be solid at that point.

+1 for Stevec !
That's how I personnally do :
I duplicate the track of my take and I mute one of them.
Then I make a RegionFX out of the other one.
When I'm done with my Melodyne Edits, I duplicate the track, I mute one and I render the other one.
So I have three tracks instead of one, (two are muted but there in case) and I am safe.

Great point, thank you. Ironically I got the 6i6 as a mobile alternative and now find myself relying on it more and more.

I would suggest Archive rather than Mute. Mute keeps the track active during playback, in case you want to Unmute it while playing. Archive takes the track completely offline. Regards, Dan

Cool! I've been using an 18i6 for a few years now and have found myself a Focusrite fan.
