Thanks for the welcome chuckebaby and thanks for your help! I used to post a while back but guess I haven't since the forum took on the current format and I had to make a new account.
To try out Melodyne I opened a SONAR project file with an audio clip on a track. If I right click on it and select RegionFX/Melodyne/Create FX Region then a Melodyne frame appears with the audio blobs in it greyed out. A window called Melodyne Licenser pops up and prompts for the serial no..
The first time this happened I entered the V2 SN off my CCC products page and was directed to the Celemony website and to the upgrade to V4. I downloaded and intalled V4 and restarted everything. Now whenever I hit RegionFX/Melodyne/CreateFX the same thing happens. I get V2 and the Melodyne Licenser. If I enter the V2 SN I get a big red animated X. If I go to the Melodyne window menu, click Settings/Preferences/Check Now (for updates) it says I have the latest version - V2.
Is anyone using the V4 Essentials? If you hit RegionFX/Melodyne/CreateFX on an audio clip do you get V2 or V4?
Interestingly I can select Insert/Rewire Device/Melodyne 4 from the SONAR menu and insert Melodyne 4 as a soft synth. I was able to activate V4 too. Unfortunately this doesn't seem right. If I drag the audio clip into the Melodyne 4 soft synth track and then double click to open Melodyne 4, the clip is not there to be edited. I can drag the clip into the open Melodyne 4 window but it seems very clunky to try to position it.
Is inserting V4 as a Rewire device the only way to use V4?
Thanks again for any help.
