Melodyne plug-in bouncing audio

I should be able to figure this out, but I'm having a brain cramp!
 
Melodyne plug-in on a vocal track. How do I bounce the tuned track to audio. I tried freezing the track, but melodyne is still active, not frozen.

Write slow, I don't read so fast!

    Select the track w/Melodyne then go to Edit>bounce to track. Set your Bounce parameters;
    Source Catagories: to Track, Choose stereo or mono, if you want dithering select it or choose None. Then press OK. A new track will be created at the bottom of the track view. Hope this helps.

    I've been thinking about buying Melodyne, and was wondering exactly how it worked so far as applying it to a track.
    So it's added to a track in the effects bin? then once you make your edits, you have to bounce to track? Can it be applied directly to the track that your working on? Say track 1 is a vocal track, can I place melodyne on track 1, and apply the effect/change directly to track 1 or does it have to be bounced to track?

    It is best to bounce your track once your happy with your results. The Melodyne interface requires it own copy of the source material, so you must pre-load the audio by playing the track through once.
    Do all of you correction/changes, then bounce to free up resources.
    Any tracks over 45 sec to 1 minute are painful waiting for the correction
    to take, so for a 3-4 minutes song, I had to break it down to 3 lead vocal tracks.  It is a bit of a hassle, but their algorithms yield excellent results.
    I still use V-Vocal a lot for backing vocals, but if I`m tuning the lead vocal track, I use Melodyne. If I`m mixing down to a final mix, all the Melodyne tracks have been bounced. I never run more than 2 instances of Melodyne, I always bounce and do a save project often.
    There are a few crashes here and there, so save your project frequently.
    It works, but needs some Sonar integration improvements soon.
    I love the tool, just not quite user friendly yet.

    I have no problems at all with Melodyne and Sonar 8 PE, but as Don says it is best to break the clip up into smaller pieces. I've never done it, but I suppose you could Bounce to Clip rather than to track.

    I usually just freeze the track when I'm done with the edits, seems to work fine for me.   Melodyne Editor is a bit buggy in Sonar, so saving often is a good idea, the orignal plugin was pretty stable.  Takes less than 30 sec's to freeze or bounce a 3 minute track on my system.  The only time Melodyne is slow on my system is if it incorrectly uses polyphonic detection instead of Melodic which it does quite often, but at least the detection goes fast after I set it to Melodic.

    Doesn't freezing the track mean you can't process it anymore?

    Go edit -> Apply Audio Effects.

    Also, I'd also recommend doing it in little bits. Melodyne is not sample accurate. It goes faster (or slower, I forget), than it should. So if you do a whole song in one go, you'll be at least a few bars out by the end of the song. :/ So do your tuning before your editing/quantizing (if you do any).

    I've edited and bounced entire tracks many times and have never experienced the results being off at all. Where did you hear this?  Also, you can unfreeze a track anytime if more editing is needed.

    The thing about freezing with Melodyne (Editor) is to avoid the fast bounce.  I have had weird results with the fast bounce option, but it works gloriously well when that option is unchecked.

    Like JS said ,Its not true. Freezing just freezes the state of the track at which you froze it. yuo can do all the edits and you want. But if you unfeeze the track, you loose all those edits.
    You can also diable the bypass for the plugins so you can add and tweak them

    Freezing a track applies all FX including Melodyne as set at the moment of Freezing. If you need to apply anything different, apart from fader gain/panning etc which can be done anytime froze or unfroze, you simply unfreeze the track and apply your changes to FX or Melodyne and re-freeze. I do this all the time. It is bouncing essentially but the same track your material is already in. Works great!

    hi welcome to the forum.
    this thread is 6 years old. a lot has changed since then including the inception of Region FX which pretty much nulify's
    the need to work with Melodyne in this manner.
