Thanks for the heads up.

You don't get the license straight away, my order state says License Pending.

Cheers,

I like the sound of Essential as compared to V-Vocal, but it is not nearly as versatile as V-Vocal. You can't change formants and the pitch within a note, just the note as a whole. I keep waiting for a good upgrade deal to Assistant, but all I ever see is a deal for Editor. The extra control available in Assistant and Editor makes Melodyne much better than V-Vocal. Essential is still useful. I use mainly by duplicating a vocal track and creating a harmony, which from my understanding would be much easier in Assistant and Editor.

Look into Melodyne Editor 2 if you want more functionality.  I got it last fall for $149.00, part of a PreSonus promo. 
 
IIRC it also took a few days for the license to arrive.

All Essential does is make you want to upgrade it...

It's just like anything else that is "Essential"

You get the bare minimum...so it makes you say

Oh man...if I only had "next step up" I could do this...

Capitalism at it's finest...

Got the license, it arrived overnight, with the time difference (I am GMT +4) that means it was emailed the same day as the order.

I am sure the other versions are much more capable but I think this will meet my limited needs for the time being.
