When I bounce to tracks after using Melodyne Assistant (plugin) I have increased gain with low level distortion. Sometimes the peaks are maxed out. 

(I do have all other fx in the bin turned off, also ProChannel is bypassed)

What I've tried so far:
Lowered the gain in Meloydyne = smaller/normal peak size, but the low level distortion is there

This also happens when I apply effects to the current track or freeze the track. 

I want to mention that Melodyne works as expected about 10% of the time in regards to the gain/distortion problem. So I'm stumped and reaching out here to see if anyone can point something I may be missing... 

I have Editor (not Assistant). I've never seen this.

One thought, do you have a send on the track to a bus with FX?

Yes I do - what I thought would be okay is that I deselect sends/busses when I bounce.

Hmmmmm. In theory that should work.

I, too, have had this problem with Melodyne Essential!  One thing I've had to do is bounce to track without FAST BOUNCE checked.

that still didn't stop it from happening on one track.  I ended up having to ditch the edits I made in that section and start over - then of course I only bounced the small section to replace the section I was missing, but that resolved it.

it was not an elegant solution, tho.  and I think I've found that if I mess with TIMING that this is when it happens the worst.  not so much on pitch.

When I'm working on a track using Melodyne Editor plugin I always totally remove all other plugins from the track...just to be safe...I know, it's probably crazy but I still do it.  But I'm so stupid I've never even thought about any effects on the buss I'm sending that track to.  But like Bapsi, I've never had this happen.  I also didn't even know Assistant could be used as a plug in.  Are you sure you're not talking about Editor?

I think I will give this another go with the all other fx removed. I wish I was talking about Editor - but that's an upgrade away.

I'm going to try unchecking fast bounce.

Thanks!

for what it's worth, I'll tell you what I do with melodyne essentials. Make a new clean, uneffected track just for Melodyne close to the vocal track(s) and drag the clip that you are editing to that track. Edit with Melodyne then bounce back to the original track. Delete the clip I've been editing and job done.
I also have saved a preset in the bounce to track options called Melodyne. Makes life pretty easy and saves having to turn stuff off and then remember to turn it back on. And, yes fast bounce is turned off.

That sounds like a great idea. I'm going to give all of these suggestions a try tonight.


Thanks!
