Melodyne and bounce to clip

In the past when using V-Vocal it was recommended to apply corrections with a bounce to free up resources and remove V-Vocal from potential problems whilst running in real time.

Is it still necessary to bounce down Meoldyne corrections or should it be left running in real time?

Thanks

I always bounce because I usually want to do other things to the bounced track, e.g. apply FX like reverb, copy and paste a section or phrase, apply envelope(s), etc., so I believe it's good housekeeping. It's a correction tool after all, not an effect.  I always keep the original track in case much later I want to go back and change something I'd done in the Melodyned track, and a good trick is to sometimes use the original track as a 'doubled' vocal down in the mix.

It seems like you would want to go ahead and bounce to clip if you are happy with the correction. You could keep a copy of the original track if you thought you might ever need the uncorrected version again.

I never knew it was necessary. I have not bounced down melodyne and left it in real time when exporting. 
It acted just fine. I have been using melodyne for over 5 years

Aside from better performance, I thought bouncing was necessary in both V Vocal and Melodyne, in order to fully render the changes, so the result is the highest possible quality.  If not bounced, I thought I was only listening to a lower quality preview to be used in editing until ready to bounce.

It will be rendered when you export the project and melodyne will use the algorithm you choose. If you select the higher quality setting, then it will export with that setting. Nothing is lost if you do not bounce first, unless you have it set up that way.
