Melodyne demo

I searched (google and Melodyne forum) but can't determine if there is a Melodyne Studio demo that works in Windows 7, 64 bit. Anybody know? Thanks.

Thanks, hacker, I got it.

I really like what this plug says it can do, but so far I cannot get it to do anything except crash Sonar. I am starting to think they should rename it Melodyne Crash

I certainly don't like to hear this! I told my wife she could get Melodyne for me for Christmas, but I may have to ask Santa for something else. I also see that my other DAW is not on their list of compatable hosts. Rethinking this deal!

Milt... get the demo and try it.
Auto is having problems that should not be happening. I run it on my XP based i5 Intel system and the CPU use and latency are very low. On my lappy the CPU is more noticeable.

Auto, be sure  you have the W7 updates installed. That system should not have a problem with melodyne.

On my lappy I had crashes but I attribute that to other issues like CPU numbers being high.

Melodyne does require heavy CPU usage for it to do what it does. The more resources that it can use the better it runs.

On my new DAW it will process a 4 minute vox track in about 10 seconds. I still save after each thing I do.... just because.  I can not imagine trying to do what I do without melodyne.

Interesting...I would not think it needed to talk to the servers in Germany..... I run my DAW totally off line. I even registered it using an offline method.

What kind of CPU numbers do you have in a typical project before and after adding Melodyne to it?


My lappy would see a 10% to 15% jump easily on the CPU after adding Melodyne. The processing after it grabbed the audio was time consuming and that's often when it would glitch and crash on me. What I would do as a work around was to do the processing in sections.... a verse at a time. That would work better since it didn't have to process the whole thing at one time.

With my current DAW, I get about a 2% bump in CPU with MD running, and it handles the entire song easily now.

All the stuff going on in the background, the various computer processes, and other memory resident programs running will suck up valuable CPU cycles and that puts a big strain on MD to do it's thing properly. Hence the reason I built my DAW from scratch and loaded my own OS....and keep it off the net.

That is strange. I don't know what to tell you at this point other than to say.... I would contact tech and melodyne and tell them a sale rests on you being able to get the demo working without crashing. After all, who in their right mind would spend money on something that crashes?

See if that gets them responding. Also another thought.... I believe they also have a forum, though likely not as active as here. But it's worth a try, post in there and see what advice you get from users.

Milt, I'd give it a try... the worst that can happen is the thing won't work. It might work fine.

No demo version but Melodyne editor.To different plug-ins only make it even easier to include stand-alone implementation to begin, we are a small Melodyne Studio "is ready to experience the tour.
