You are crafty Melodyne -.-

Just got an e-mail offering a half price upgrade to Melodyne Editor on account of getting it with Sonar, limited time deal, of course.
 
On the one hand it is as much as the upgrade to X3 was and I play mostly with sampled content... On the other hand the Direct Note Access things fascinates me and I want ot have it.
 
I think they are going to win out here. This month will be expensive :).

Got the email too...and echo the sentiments....so tempting...but very expensive month!

How much exactly? Are you saying $150 ish?

Thanks,....That's still great even tho i am in the UK. Another valid reason for me to upgrade to X3. It's getting harder to resist.!

For what it's worth.....I paid $283 for Editor about a year ago. I don't regret it at all. I also have Addictive Drums, I paid $149 on a deal that came with 2 free AD Paks in December of 2011. I still haven't pulled the trigger on X3 but I will in the near future.

I've tried editor and thought it was an amazing piece of software. This is sooooo tempting and I'm sooooo weak willed when it comes to these things lol. Could well be X3 evening for me. Anything after that, I will blame on the wine :-)

This is a pretty amazing deal. If you are interested in the polyphonic editing and MIDI extraction at all this is a no brainer.

I had decided NOT to upgrade to editor, but was considering upgrading to Assistant.  Now, the choice is obvious. I'M GOIN ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!

I am interested just on account of the fact that it should be impossible. That is what fascinates me about Melodyne is that they've made it do something that given all I know about audio should be impossible. That is just really, really cool right there. I doubt I'll make really any use of it, since I don't do recording and don't plan to, but I want to toy with it. $150 is a lot for a toy, but then it'd hardly be the first $150 toy I've bought :D.

That is good news IMHO... I'm hoping I get a similar email. :-)

I got the email too and bought editor.
You'll probably have to register the Melodyne Essentential that comes with SONAR X3 first, in order to get the email. 
So register your copy first.

Anyone having trouble buying at the Celemony site?
 
Rejecting both good credit cards....weird... keeps saying check numbers....

The ARA integration is superb and makes the X3 upgrade worthwhile in itself. I already have Melodyne Editor and use it extensively.

I also had editor v 1.1 so the upgrade to 2 was only $49..I think if your going in cold you have to set up an account at Melodyne or the purchase process guides you through setting one up

I just e-mailed them, will report back once they reply.

ok got it :

I have an essentials license from Studio One V2 so I have not installed or registered my Sonar license. Should I do it now to get the Melodyne upgrade price? I'd gladly pay $150 for a full version. 

 
I would. I presume that's how they know to contact you. I didn't ask them or anything, and the e-mail came form them, not Cakewalk. So presumably they know what serials are issued to Cakewalk. You register one, they e-mail you to offer you a deal.
 
I decided to go for it. Just too neat a toy to turn down.
