I am coming across this more and more - inserting Melodyne (Essential) on a clip crashes SPLAT more often than not, but seemingly only in big projects with lots of plugs (incl many 3d party ones). ANyone else notice that?

Be sure to max out your buffer size when you are working on Melodyne.
 
 

What's your buffer, and which version of Melodyne? Did you upgrade to 4?

If a project is already in progress to any extent, globally bypassing FX (E) might help with both resource constraints (computer processing overhead) and Melodyne algorithms. Melodyne works best with clean signals, so never feed it with any FX on that can create "false notes" (harmonics, delays, reverbs, etc.) - not sure how applicable this one is in your case though, but something to keep in mind.

None of the above guys, but thanks :O)
 
Melodyne 4.latest X64 VST3
1024 Buffer
Pure raw wav vocals
No sends or FX going in there.
 

There's a lot of variables in this problem. Is it the project size, track count, too many plugs, one bad plug, it could be almost anything. I'm wondering if a look at the Melodyne forum could provide clues regarding things that Melodyne doesn't get along with. Then you could at least check to see if you are using the bad actor.
 
You don't say if the crash is as soon as you load Melodyne, or if it crashes during editing. So many things to consider, and I wish I had more to offer.

Hi Amp,
 
thanks, I'll check. Melodyne crashes the moment I insert it on a clip. Even a small one..

Melodyne is about the only thing that crashes Sonar for me at the moment. I always try to remember to save before I use it and I have to bounce clips down after editing so I only have one instance open at a time. It's an inconvenience but really the only way it's manageable for me.

Try splitting around the region of interest?

I just emailed Celemony and their instruction was to uninstall/reinstall... I'll let you guys know how that goes.
