Oops, I spoke too soon. Don't you hate that? Sonar & Melodyne started messing up again after a few edits. It seems like Melodyne ARA can handle a few regions but any more than that it sounds OK while playing in Sonar, but goes double slow when I export audio. In my case I took 3 minutes of audio & put in a Sonar track. I split the audio into sections: Chinese language phrase, then English translation phrase,etc. The Chinese clips I applied Melodyne Region FX & time stretched to 225% original length. The English translations I left at normal speed. I’ve spent many hours trying different fixes.
Playback sounds good when I play back in Sonar, but the slowed down regions play much slower when I export audio.
For a while I
thought I found a workaround: When I converted the clips to stereo, they bounced correctly (in desperate times you start trying everything you can think of ;).) My clips had all been mono. When I converted them to stereo they started behaving during export. But shortly afterwards, things went to pot again.
