Regarding pitch correction for voice-with Melodyne-I have 2 problems. On the older brand of pitch correction 5-10 years ago, I could “write” the tone. If I recorded a tone that had too much variation. I would have a tool where I could just write a straight line to replace the wavy one. Then I thought that perhaps if I could dial in a higher resolution, perhaps those segments would be broken up already, making them more amenable to raising or lowering. Any thoughts on this.
Lastly, I had a problem while editing in Melodyne with the measure numbers. The top of the screen had measures marked as usual, but the measures in the Melodyne field, near the bottom of my screen, did not have numbers. Usually, the measures in the Melodyne screen ARE numbered. Does anyone know what I may have pressed to make these disappear?
Thanks.

Which version of melodyne are you using? Features such as pitch modulation and drift correction are only available in Assistant, editor and  Studio. Essentials, which is included with Sonar, does not.

Essential does have pitch modulation and drift correction. I use them both regularly.

Thanks for the replies, though they don't match. So I guess it's called drift correction. I DID notice that when I try to  automatically change pitch, I believe I see horizontal lines that let you dial in the amt of pitch correction and drift correction. Of course, sometimes one wants to include pitch drift while singing, so I'd rather not apply this to all my notes at once---though I guess I could just  choose a small area to  do this. Is there a particular way to perform drift correction on a small segment, such as what one would do with pitch correction?
For the record, I only have the version that came with Sonar X3--and I gather that would be "Essential."
ANd I assume one can't dial in a higher resolution to get the little blobs to break into smaller, more editable notes?
Lastly, I think I may have found out why my measure numbers were disappearing--I think I telescoped the area I was trying to edit so widely that the whole Melodyne editing screen just contained 1 measure!
Thanks again.

That might come as a surprise to Celemony! We may be talking about different things.  It doesn't  according to their comparison chart.

Serious_Noize!
I replied to this thread earlier, apparently it got lost or removed. So I will try again with the same reply. 
 
Melodyne Essentials has Pitch Modulation and Drift Correction, But it is on a limited basis. 
 
I believe what the OP was talking about was drawing a Pitch correction LINE and Modulation line rather than being limited as Essentials is. 
 
This is one reason I have been considering purchasing Waves TUNE because that does allow those features. And I own Sonar Platinum and Melodyne Essentials. 
 
I guess I am one of the unfortunate ones where monetary means go because there was an offer over the holiday season to purchase the top of the line for Melodyne "Studio" I think it is for 299 as an upgrade but I just couldn't because I didn't have the money to do so. 
 
As was pointed out earlier : "Yes you can do BASIC PITCH DRIFT correct which is LOCKED to AUTO adjust and BASIC Modulation ADJUST which is locked to AUTO with Melodyne Essentials", NO, you cannot DRAW the lines and fine tune those things which I believe is what the OP was asking to begin with.

Thanks. This seems to clear it up. I did however try that pitch drift which didn't do much of anything. I'll try it again. Perhaps I was not choosing the correct segment at the time to edit. I assume one simply has to left click and drag on an area that one wants to edit.
I had also seen that offer during the holidays to get the complete Melodyne for another $300, and I thought that was NOT for me--too expensive for my limited needs. I heard you mentioning all of the other versions of Melodyne, and perhaps some of the less expensive versions have that capability. I doubt that I want to try a whole new program.

I just did some research and found that all of the versions of Melodyne---OTHER THAN the Essentials version--can do manual pitch drifting editing.

It has "Auto drift+pitch correction" but does not have the drift correction tool or the modulation tool.
Its one of the reasons I upgraded (to have those tools).

Melodyne studio is freaking awesome once you get into all of it's functions. You wouldn't believe the turds I've polished with that:)
