Melodyne Losing Sync With Sonar - Confirmed

Actually, I've had the same bug ... the note-blob 'lines up' a quarter measure or so ahead of the sound (... while in older versions (of Melodyne) 'twas the opposite --hahahaha!).  (I forgot if X3c or X3d was involved ... I may now be sorry I updated to X3d  (sorry cake-man) :):):) )
 
My instinctive work-around is to shrink the Melodyne blobs horizontally and make desperado fixes only.  Melodyne experimentation-pioneering is grossly overrated, IMHO, JMO. ... especially with Melodyne Essentials.  Weaning off the addictive Melodyne is difficult for me, as my vocs are complete losers without it.
 
I wonder if this problem occurs with 'Editor 2 region fx' (which I'm considering for the 'psychedelic plethora').
 
(I've learned to live with Melodyne Editor-1 errors and crashes and consider this new bug a 'livable' issue for region fx (the whole 'Cher thing is several back-burners and fading))
 
 

Thanks for the reply, Philip.
 
Melodyne has worked perfectly here until today.  I'm not sure we have the  same issue.
 
For me, it is simply as is the Melodyne "grid" is off, a fraction "further on" than Sonar's.
 
Otherwise I have been extremely happy with X3d, and am still in awe of Melodyne and ARA integration.

I ran a quick test with X3D, nothing with these steps... So something else is going on here or my steps to repro need revising...
 
STEPS:
New X3D project
Set up a new audio track with a vocal.
Clone track (2 identical audio tracks).
Play both tracks and observe no phasing.
Select the second track and then do: RegionFX -> Melodyne -> Convert to RegionFX
Play both tracks.
 
Actual
No phasing (timing perfect).

Thanks again, Mettelus, you have it spot on.  It's as if I hit a shortcut key that effected Sonar/Melodyne globally.  As you say, the hunt is on.
 
I may email Celemony, as yo suggest.  They seem very good.
 
@Alex - of course you can't repro it, for heaven's sake.  How pointless..  Do you read the threads you reply to?  How on earth did you try to repro the issue?  It's laughable..

Editor is amazing - well worth the upgrade.  I upgraded soon after getting X3 and it lived up to my expectations.
 
I recommend reading the manual thoroughly, and watching Celemony's videos.  Eli's Groove3 videos are great, too.
 
It is a very powerful piece of software, but you really need to learn how it works to get the most out of it and not be disappointed.

Not specific to Editor, AFAIK.
 
Has been working perfectly here until just now.

Is there a tempo change in the project?

Thanks Jb. It's great to hear your validation! I just ordered Melodyne editor 2.0 and am watching it download here at a motel. It's very slow here.

It's great to have this program that I need ... And hopefully to be able to do a lot of surreal time, melodic, and loudness functions that the videos inspired.

Interestingly, I've never had the latest versions crash sonar. The program has actually suggested for me to change my sampling rate which helped.

Utmost blessings/regards,

I have the identical issue.  I'm using X3d and Melodyne Editor 2.  I have a rate of 142 bpm, don't know if a faster tempo affects it.  I'm using Melodyne to true up timing on vocals.  I mostly do it by ear, I'm not quantizing so cannot comment on how it affects that. 
 
When I need to align to the beat visually, I've been lining up the Now marker in the Track View at the top of my screen to the beat I want, then using the time marker in Melodyne as the reference to drag my note beginning or end to match.  It's visually not lining up with the same beat on the Melodyne grid, but in reality it IS aligning to the correct beat in Sonar (confirmed visually with the waveform after closing Melodyne.)  Not really much of a pain, since I keep the Track View open at the top of my screen.  I just have to remember to refrain from using the "obvious" time grid in Melodyne.
 
I upgraded to Editor 2 immediately, so I haven't used Essential and can't comment on if it was there before - but I noticed this issue immediately, so it doesn't seem to be an "I accidentally turned something off" issue.  And it's there all the time, even after re-booting.
 
It seems I remember having the same time-grid alignment issue at some point in V-Vocal too?
 
Despite this isse, I LOVE Melodyne.  Absolutely worth every penny from my perspective, I've been giddy just using it.

It seems to make Melodyne's Quantise Function in Sonar unusable most of the time.
 
I am surprised that so few people have yet come across it.  It is now "being investigated by our development team",     which is good.

Thanks for the update and feedback, hopefully they'll get this corrected soon.
 
I haven't used the quantise function, I'm doing manual work so I haven't experienced the degree of frustration others probably have.  I've pretty much been splitting my tracks into short clip segments (vocal comp'ing) - I align my Now Time marker in Sonar where I want it, and use that as my reference in the Melodyne editor.  The time markers in Melodyne don't align, but it allows me to tighten vocals together pretty readily.

I have reported this, and according to Cake there is a rounding error in an algorithm that is causing it, and it is now with the development team.

It appears worse at certain tempos, and increases the further you go into the project. Very few people seem to have noticed it yet, which is surprising.

Let's hope it's fixed in the next update.

Not sure if this is related, but I noticed if I have multiple clips with Melodyne (Editor ver.)  as region fx, and I have more than one melodyne in the dock, editing in melodyne becomes erratic. Keeping only one  editor open  at a time has kept this from happening again.
 
Another issue I've noticed is that melodyne does get out of sync with sonar, but when I  undock and redock the editor, that seems to "fix" it.
 
Again not sure if these are the same issues. Both of these happen when the editor is docked.

I don't know if this is related to the Melodyne problem, but I've had the same problem when using Audio Snap. After using Audio Snap  & bounce-to-clips on a conga track, the wave form does not line up with what I'm hearing. It's fine for most of the track, but about two thirds of the way through the wave froms fall noticeably behind the audio. The track sounds fine, but the wave form is about an eighth of a measure behind, and stays out of sync for the rest of the track. Melodyne has not been used on this track, only Audio Snap.

i am experiencing this problem right now, with only one region fx clip in existence at once.  i have the newest version of the editor & X3d x64.
