Tried rescanning and it sees and scans Melodyne but when I try to instantiate a region fx Sonar hangs and or crashes.  At first...before the rescan it actually opened once but said it couldn't find my license.  So I got out of Sonar and checked my iLok manager...nope...it WAS there alright.  Then I rescanned all my plugs (a lengthy process for a gear slut like me).  Anywhoo...Melodyne no workee for me.  I had to resort to fixing the three vocal tracks in my current client's project the old fashioned way...out on the desktop.  And just when I'd started using ol Mel inside X3 and lovin it too.  Shoot!!

Can't get it to work at all for me in Platinum.  Was working fine in X3.  Either hangs or crashes on instantiation as a region fx.  Any love will be appreciated.  I have Editor and not essential.  And did not install essential since I do.

You really have to crank your buffers when working with melodyne. I think it was yelling at me to have a min of 1056 or something (which is very high on my machine). Like literally a pop up came up from Melodyne and told me to raise my buffers. I have a pretty fast machine too.
 
The other thing is I've seen it mentioned it works better doing small hunks of a clip at a time instead of a whole clip that spans the entire song. Essentially you do a range select of the are you want to work on on the clip. Do your edits. Render it then move on to the next section. Once I raised my buffers though I did not have that problem and was able to correct a whole clip of about 3+ minutes.
 
If that helps, cool. If not maybe something else is up.
 
Cheers.
 
PS: I'm still on X3... so maybe there is a problem with Melodyne. I believe there was a patch released that fixed a melodyne problem with Platinum so maybe that's what's up.

Sorry to report that Melo Editor works just fine in Plat here.

Probably no help here but Editor is working fine in Platinum here. I also did not install essential. The fact it was working for you in X3 suggests something got hosed (maybe not migrated?) in the Platinum installation. I am pretty conservative with Melodyne however - small clips at a time, bounce to clips after correction, etc. Sounds like that's not your issue though.

Was working great in X3. But no love today in Platinum. And my buffers were at the highest setting and I tried several clip lengths.

BTW...I have Editor and not essential.

And Platinum is up to date with the most current patches? If so then IDK what could be up. Maybe you found a system specific conflict. You said there was a crash? Did you save a crash report?

I use Editor as well with no problems. I also ignore the buffer warning because it works just as well. There was an update for Melodyne on the initial release but that was to fix a glitchiness, not a crash.
 
Also, how hold is your version of Editor? I don't recall needing an iLok when I installed Editor a year or so ago.

I have always ignored this pop up and never had a problem, even at low buffer settings - in X3 or Platinum.
 
Also, I have not had a problem with longer clips with Melodyne - with VVocal, yes, but not Melodyne.

Yeah, I'm sure I'd be fine at lower settings and I think I forgot to up them once and nothing particularly weird happened. I've only used it on one (massive) project so far and I usually crank my buffers unless I'm tracking so I just figured I might as well listen to the popup. I probably should have said "it is recommended you really crank up your buffers". Sorry about that.
 
Thanks for the feedback though. Good to know.
