X1d and Melodyne Editor 1.3

Dowloaded X1d with no problems.  Started work on an ongoing project, only to find that the Melodyne Editor settings for the vocals are not in the downloaded audio wav/mp3 files.  The settings are fine when played through X1d.  Any suggestions would be most welcome.

what do you mean by "the Melodyne Editor settings for the vocals are not in the downloaded audio wav/mp3 files"?

which downloaded files?
and melodyne nerver writes any settings into files 8as far as I know).

Sorry about that, maybe I should have worded it better. 
I am working on a project at the moment that I started in X1c.  The vocals had been worked on (tuning etc) using Melodyne 3.1.  I could then export the project as an audio file (wav or mp3) and all ajustments I had done on the vocals with Melodyne could be heard on the wav or mp3 when played. 
This is not the case when I do the above with X1d.  It plays the Melodyne vocal ajustments when played within the DAW itself, but when I export it as an audio file the vocals are there but without the ajustments I made using Melodyne plugin,not stand-alone mode.
One more thing.  When I open Melodyne (plugin) and click on a note, I get no sound. 
These problems have only occured since downloading X1d.
 
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

I have had issues with melodyne not playing the notes audibly all along. ..... but to me it's not a big deal. 

I prefer to set the timeline before the part I'm working on...and I'll move the timeline segment by segment as I work through the song.  I look to the left in the melodyne since it shows the note names.... and I actually find that easier than dragging the notes as I hear them...... but....

to the other point. can you bounce melodyne to a track or better yet can you do a process audio function on it successfully?  This has become my favorite way of working with melodyne..... bounce or process. 

Is Melodyne worth getting. Is it any better than V-Vocal? I have been debating if I should take a wallet hit and buy the program.

Note of caution if you're thinking of buying Melodyne:
For some of us Sonar users Melodyne freezes and crashes Sonar after about five minutes use as a plugin.  I complained for months on the Celemony forum to no avail, apart from having some other Sonar users chime in agreeing that they have the same issue.

When Sonar brought in their 'Send error report and crash dump' last year I was able to do just that.  Noel Borthwick later confirmed here that from this (and perhpas others' submissions) they had identified a resource leak in Melodyne and reported it to them  The good news is that Celemony acknowledged this and are working on a fix to be issued shortly. 

Personally, I have always loved Melodyne's way of working and find it way cleaner and easier than other pitch correction software.

melodyne 3.1??? (which edition?) So you are not using the latest plugin (which is melodyne editor 2)

anyway: I remember there was a thread about bouncing problems with melodyne. make sure to load the melodyne plugin as a track plugin and not as a clip plugin. maybe it solves the problem.

cheers, drjee

Sorry my slip, I meant Melodyne 1.3.  No, I've not upgraded to Melodyne 2, I don't know if the price is worth the upgrade.  Plus, recently all upgrades seem to have all come round about the same time.  Sibelius 7, Melodyne 2, Sonar X1 expanded etc, etc.  So I went and bought NI Maschine instead 
As for the problem, I am pleased to say it's now solved.  I took Fred's advice and I'm smiling again.
Thank you all for your support.
Best wishes

Kooldude, I would not be at all surprised if such a plugin required Realtime bounce (uncheck fast bounce)

You can also open in 8.53 and Fastbounce your heart away. 8.53 saves the day YET again.

Celemony are working on making Editor play nicely within Sonar (i.e. fixing the resource leak that causes it to lock up and crash Sonar after only a few minutes), and we should hear something soon.  ;O)

The fast bounce issue is not theirs; we need CW to fix that.  In the meantime realtime bounce is the order of the day.

Dowloaded X1d with no problems.  Started work on an ongoing project, only to find that the Melodyne Editor settings for the vocals are not in the downloaded audio wav/mp3 files.  The settings are fine when played through X1d.  Any suggestions would be most welcome.

If I understand your problem correctly... when you export, turn off Fast Bounce. Sadly it requires you to export in real time.


There's a known bug in SONAR/Melodyne while using fast bounce when bouncing to track. Usually amounts to a lock up or crash. I've grown accustomed to turning off Fast Bounce when bouncing a Melodyned track. BTW, I never kep Melodyne "live" once I've fixed the track. I bounce the Melodyned clip/track to another. Verify that I'm happy and archive or delete the original clip/track and use the processed track from then on.


Maybe the fast bounce bug is exhibited during export by Melodyne not being applied?




<edit> Sorry did not see that you solved the problem.

Melodyne + Sonar = doesn't work!

We have to do that job in other DAW.

I can only bounce melodyne editor ver 2 in real time, not fast boumjce. I contacted celemony and they are aware of that glitch.

    - Melodyne is a great tool that does different things tha VVocal does. In my opinon, you need both. 
    - VVocal
        ... you can add great vibrato
        ... you have the pencil/draw tool which is a must in some situations
        ... you have much more control of the wave pitches
        ... you have much more control over timing and phraseing stretched

    - Melodyne Editor
        ... Keeps more agressive pitch changes in good sound/creating harmonies form the melody notes, or just really bad noted
        ... Does Poly/multiple notes.
        ... does guitars and other instruments... Vvocal does not hardly at all.

They both are a must

Melodyne does crash my Sonar X1 enoght that I make sure I save every couple minutes or complicated changes
