[Resolved] Melodyne and Audio to Midi Conversion

I have two problems with Melodyne.  First, every time I open it (in Sonar X3 Producer), I get a window asking me to activate my 30 day trial.  I don't think that's right...
 
Otherwise, audio to midi conversion for me, doesn't work.  The output consists of one note continuously repeated.  Tried a couple of different wavs, mp3s and it's pretty much the same.  Tried drag and drop to midi track, tried converting from Melodyne editor, same result.  The original source file was only dulcimer, so it wasn't a complicated conversion.  Am I missing something here or do I have a problem.  Well, relatively....;-)
 
Thanks....Steve

I'm on Win7 64bit and am part of the 'administrator' group.  Of course there is a difference between being an administrator in Win7 and being the administrator.  So I did try 'run as administrator'.  No difference in either problem.  I'd like to find out what's wrong rather than have to uninstall and reinstall X3.
 
Thanks...Steve

I can't do chords or more than one note at a time. When I let one sound ring into another I get the single read. So that's what the problem was. This is really nice. If you mute the audio then cycle thru all the sounds in whichever soft synth you use. I like this!

This is a limitation of Melodyne Essential, the version that ships with SONAR. See http://www.cakewalk.com/D...eq=NewFeatures.10.html

Thanks scook! SOLVED!  This opens some interesting possibilities. I just recorded a line then found/converted it into a bass line. I checked the price on editor version and almost fell out of my chair

This should take care of it didymus7.

It is also called single track, in other words works with a single melody or bass line. Any harmonics or overtones will throw it off. 
Audio to midi conversion works with drums and very simple parts, like a flute. A dulcimer would blow it's mind. Any software, not just Melodyne. 

The product is identified as Melodyne Singletrack to distinguish it from Melodyne Studio. It works on a single audio track at a time. Melodyne Singletrack has three levels, Essential, Assistant and Editor. It is the same executable, the license key enables the features associated with the level. SONAR ships with the Essential version. The Editor version is capable of working with polyphonic audio as explained in the link I proved above.

Cactus,
Thanks for all the help.  At least things are now working the way they're supposed to.  I wonder how the polyphonic algorithm would handle a melody with a bassline.  If it could, it might be worth the upgrade.  However, since I've had some time playing with intelliscore, you're correct, there's a limit to what software can do.
 
Thanks...Steve

Thanks, scook, I'll check out the videos.
