No "Region EFX" appearing on right click clip menu?

Oh, and the Region Effects Drop down box (next to the Midi and Clips drop downs) on the top of the Track pane also does not drop down or do anything.

Hmmm. the Melodyne instructions simply say to right click the clip and select region effects? In the screen shot it shows it as above the Groove Looping tool, in the right click context menu. I am not sure "Time-Line" has anything to do with it.

No I am using the VST2 version (I think) thing is even if not using Melodyne, the Region FX still does not appear (nor is the drop down box in Track pane available either).
And that's even with a fresh reboot of Sonar using the Normal template....same even after a PC shutdown as well. Seems like something is broken??? Believe it or not I have never used Region FX before...but thought I would try it (and Melodyne) for the first time this morning.

I just did a modify of the install and when installing the VST 3 version I get the message plugin caused an error and that is "Call initProc" and then it is recommended to disable it. 
 
 
 

hmmm, maybe not...I will check. Nope, definitely X3 c...I will install the update and check it again.

X3d is not necessary. This may be an issue related to MS C++ redistribution libs. You may want to contact tech support.

Region FX disables several features of SONAR when active (due to ARA) so it is possible that the reverse is true... AudioSnap, clip effects being active on the clip may prevent the ability to create the Region FX.

Region FX clip restrictions - The following editing functions are disabled for Region FX clips:

• Clip automation.
• Copy/paste for a time selection that contains a Region FX.
• Split clip.
• Slip-stretch clip when the Follow Host Tempo option is enabled.
• Groove Clip looping.
• AudioSnap.

Just sent off a message to support.

I'm experiencing the same plugin load error after some house keeping a Waves Tech performed on my machine. I posted a screen shot here: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Melodyne-no-longer-in-region-effects-m3105076.aspx Region effects worked properly prior to this.

Thanks for the link. FWIW I have re-installed the VST3 Melodyne a few times now, after deleting it. I also tried a modify routine too. Appreciate the help though guys still got nothing from Support, it is late Friday there I suppose and the Sat and Sun to come so a fix from them is at least three days away

Thanks rebel, again this is something I had already done, a few times. I think there is just something "broken" in Sonar on my system. Melodyne runs fine in standalone mode. But it does nto appear under the right click VST 3 folder, and of course as a regional effect either.

Well, I just did a re-install of the OS (from an image file which has the full install of Sonar + Melodyne among others) and now Region FX are enabled and Melodyne in the VST3 folder is appearing again. So some program that was installed after that image file was created broke it...Now I just need to figure which one...I REALLY hope it was not Addictive Drums 2. Anyway I am hoping it is some other non music related app. If I find it I will report back.

Actually Sonar is on 3c (as per the image file) and Melodyne is running fine with NO update yet to 3e ....I got a "sorta" response from support, which just said " ...see you have it sorted, contact for further assistance" so I assume from that, they simply looked at the thread. NO explanation of the initproc error message, even though I gave them a screenshot. Anyhoo I wrote back asking for an explanation of the error message...doubt I'll get anything back.
 
I have a feeling it was AD 2 that broke it...it must alter the C++ libs somewhere (or the APIs)?? I ahve re-installed pretty much everything except AD2 and it is working exactly as it should, even under 3c as noted.

Thanks Steve I will check out that link...might provide a glimmer of , well, something
 
EDIT: nah nothing much there. FWIW I do think it is a C++ issue, but it's in the finding WHAT exactly caused it that is the problem. Still nothing from CW, I did ask the guy who responded. I guess they put these things out of sight out of mind if they think an issue resolved. No follow up even when asked. They are pretty busy I guess.

The VST3 migration settings have nothing to do with Region FX. Currently two plug-ins are set up as Region FX, the VST3 version of Melodyne and the DirectX V-Vocal.
