[Solved] Can't Get Melodyne to Work
Upgraded to Sonar Professional and installed the Melodyne that comes with it. Short of memory on program drive I chose the Rewire 'driver' on the checkbox. But Melodyne doesn't show up under the Region FX button? Any ideas on how I should install to get it to appear there?

"Short of memory on program drive I chose the Rewire 'driver' on the checkbox."
Could you elaborate on this? I don't understand how this would be a workaround for lack of disk space. It should not be a massive install and if you are THAT low on space... well time to clean up the drive or buy a new one. Rewiring it seems like it would totally defeat a lot of the benefits of ARA integration.
Anyway... if you installed it normally it should show up under Region FX but you may just need to do a VST scan (making sure the Celemony/Melodyne folder is included) to make it show up.

Melodyne's VST3 format must be installed for the Region FX menu option to work.

Failing that, it should also install in standalone mode. It's not quite as convenient as using it in Region FX, but works well and if like me you have a computer with a less-than-ideal CPU it's a little kinder on CPU usage. Obviously you have to find the audio track manually, but it works.

Many thanks to all. VST3 did the trick and Region FX is a great way to work on vocals. New machine on its way will lose all the memory problems.

Please edit the original post and add [Solved] to the subject line.
It may help others with the same issue.

Obviously you have to find the audio track manually, but it works.
You can add Melodyne to the Tools menu. This will let you select a clip, passing it to the stand alone Melodyne like any other free standing editor and returning the edited clip back to SONAR. The instructions are here https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013099/Adding-third-party-audio-editing-software-to-SONARs-Tools-menu
That is indeed cool. Am I to assume I can add other DAWs like Reaper into the Utilities menu to access some of the functions Sonar may not have? If so... does using ASIO screw anything up due to having two programs occupying the driver/interface or does Sonar somehow manage that while editing is going on? Sorry if those are silly questions. This seems to be a little more advanced stuff than I'm used to. Cheers.

I do not know anything about Reaper's command line. I had forgotten about this post http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/1850413 which goes into some detail about Tool menu registry entries. If you know Reaper, Noel's post may give you an idea of what is possible. So far, I have not experienced a problem launching any tool setup to use ASIO.

Thanks, buddy. You've shown me another cool, and as of yet undiscovered corner, of this beast. Really I'd just be trying to access time warping stuff and noise cancelling in other DAWs and if I ever get RX or similar tools I'm realizing now that's where they would/should probably go.
Nice.

I thought the Reaper noise reduction tool was a free plug-in called ReaFIR. The download is here http://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ It should work as a regular VST in SONAR. But as I said before, I do not know Reaper. We are straying pretty far from Melodyne install issues.

Yup. We are and my apologies but I guess the OP has their problem solved so perhaps not such a bad thing to freestyle it a bit (this is highly educational). I would actually use Reaper more for its (supposedly) simple time stretching options (same with Ableton which I think I have an LE version on disc that came with my interface). Might be simpler than firing up Audiosnap for quickstretches (but I have figured out some reasonably quick ways to do such stretching in Sonar... but they require some slicing and dicing which is time consuming as well). For noise reduction Audacity seems to have some offline options that may do some useful stuff but really I'm more interested in inserting something like RX/Ozone into the utilities section if I can ever afford those packages.
Just cool to know that there is a way to reach out into other programs like this instead of completely leaving the Sonar environment. Sonar is home and I get nervous when I am too far from home. lol
Thanks again.
