Melodyne - RESOLVED

Now I can work in Melodyne for about 15 minutes before Sonar locks up.  What the heck is this?

Melodyne is still the only thing that makes my Sonar a little unstable. I use it surgically and bounce stuff after editing. Unfortunately so, because I often wish I could leave more clips open for longer.

Is this in X3 or the latest Platinum version? If it's the former, then I strongly suggest you move to the latter. If it's the latter then I would contact support.

I seem to recall from another post that you were still on X3, and all I can say is that I believe a lot of the issues you are having will go away. Platinum isn't perfect but I think you'll be much happier running that on windows 10 on a more current system

Konradh, of all the features and capabilities of Sonar, the integration with Melodyne is probably one that has changed the most between X1 and the latest Platinum.

The stability for me is night and day, and the integration within Platinum makes Melodyne seem more like a natural part of Sonar's workflow.

I completely understand why you may have reasons to stay as you are, but I hope you can test out the latest versions and realize the difference.

It's probably a good idea to put your woes within the context of X1 whenever posting a thread like this so that people can help without thinking about how things work today, which is vastly different under and above the hood.

FWIW, I never got on well with X1 and mostly stuck with 8.5 until Platinum came along.

Very well said. My sentiments exactly.
With the integration of Melodyne, it changed my work flow completely.
Cant say im a huge fan of Vocal synch (even though I use it) its a little unpredictable.
I love Drum replacer and Melodyne though.
 
Konradh, I would make sure you are completely up to date on all windows updates.
Melodyne (I believe) uses C++ /Vs libs in order to function, so if you are running a newer version of Melodyne make sure you have the updates.

1.  Melodyne says there is a newer version.  When I go to the website, it says to laucnh the installer from within the product.  I cannot find anywhere in Melodyne Assistance to perform an update or launch an installer. Ideas?
 
Thanks.

Log into your account (or create one) with Celemony and download your personalised installer. Whatever flavour of Melodyne you have is linked to your serial number. The installer you will download is the same for all versions, but will only install/update your registered version

Cheers,
Jerry

OK, although it was not obvious how to at first, Melodyne support answer immediately (on the week-end!) and I update Melodyne Assistant to the current version.
 
In addition, per the automation message that popped up in Melodyne after the update, I increased the ASIO buffer to 1,024 samples, which is a little higher than the default I use after tracking.
 
I have been working for several hours without a crash so issue this may be solved.  Before the update and buffer change, I was lucky to get 10-15 minutes of work done.
 
Please see my questions on the post on bouncing Melodyne, please.
 
Thanks for working with me on this, guys.
