Pwalpwal, that method doesn't use ARA at all. Not sure if that makes any difference though.

i was testing it as an insert fx, to try & repro what nigel said in post #113

I just wanted to add that I'm having issues as well.  I have the latest revision of Melodyne 4 editor.  A couple weeks ago I used Melodyne to create a tempo map in a project using last month's Sonar release.  I haven't touched the project till last night after updating to this month's Sonar release.  The project was completely ruined.
 
Tracks were merged onto previously deleted tracks.  Random clips were merged together.  After an hour of trying to clean it all up and make sense of it all I just deleted the project.  Luckily I created a backup before using Melodyne.  I won't be using Melodyne with Sonar anytime soon.  I've had relatively few issues with other projects not using Melodyne.  What a waste of $400. 

Goodness!
 

This is getting crazy. Who do we need to contact to get info on this? Cakewalk? Celemony?

i notice that they've helpfully closed their forum with the version 4 release...

good luck!

You'd think Cakewalk would be doing something about this for us. Seriously.

Cakewalk has chosen to partner with Melodyne in having it a part of Sonar. Therefore It is in Cakewalks interest to continue to encourage and work with Melodyne to correct any problems.

Just wanted to give an update on this.
We had sent the fault reporter crash dumps we received to Celemony, they are looking into it.
Thanks for those that sent them in.  

It's been two and a half months. Care to update us? What's going on with this?

No change to the version available on the Celemony site.

But it has been several months with an update that renders the feature completely useless.  It's not loke something about it doesn't work or whatever - the entire program crashes if you use the feature (taking your newly create material with it), so the end result is that you can't use it at all.  Unfortunately, for many of us, this was one of the reasons we spent the time and money to update our programs from X3 to Platinum and all of the things that go with it.
 
I understand that Cakewalk doesn't make this plugin/integration directly, but my clients don't really care that I don't make Joomla! - they only care that their websites don't crash.  If they do, they expect me to find a way to fix them or at least put them back to functional while I await some other developer to correct the issues they are having.  This is the function that I see that Cakewalk at least SHOULD have control of - the CCC should be able to determine that an integration is on a version that is known to cause issues and offer to fix the problem by back-leveling the integrated application and keeping that installation up to date as long as there is a problem - again, it's not that this isn't a known situation for several months.
 
I think Cakewalk should be more on top of this.  I mean, the last update we have from Cakewalk was from Noel 6 weeks ago that Celemony has identified a fix and is releasing an update soon...and here we are.

I have Melodyne Studio latest update (4.04 I think)
Until the latest update I could not use melodyne at all inside Sonar. With the latest update I can use it as an FX via the FX bin, but cannot use it as a Region FX - soon as I try to create a FX region, Sonar crashes. Also if I do manage to get it to work via FX bin route  but forget to mix down and delete, when I go to open the project next time, Sonar will not open - I have to open in safe and not load Melodyne.
I have been waiting for the next Sonar update to see if that improves things before starting to try and deal with Melodyne, which i don't think I will enjoy much.

Hi Susie_temp
Basically for me Melodyne only just works via FX bin, cannot use at all in any other way - it is so unstable I try not to use it and have considered dumping it totally and going back to something like Autotune - however the integration with Sonar is the ONLY thing keeping me with Melodyne at the moment (even though it now does not work!!), so while it seems clear this is a Melodyne issue, I do believe Cakewalk should be doing more  -ie how about threatening to drop melodyne as it does not work and causes major issues! I would imagine Cakewalk's parent Company is quite a bit larger than Melodyne and should have a BIG stcik somewhere they can shake at zee Germans...........

When I emailed Melodyne last month about t his they responded that they did not know of this as a problem.
 
" . . .it is not a known issue for version 4.0.4.004 to be crashing often." 
 
So, I am confused.
