I don't have or demo'ed Melodyne (yet)......

Besides pitch & timing corrections, does anyone use it as a creative tool and how so?
(ex. take a vocal track, copy it, and make harmonies with Melodyne?)

I have essentials only and it is excellent for creating harmonies. Please don't tell Bapu though - he thinks I sing them myself and I would hate to burst his bubble.

Thanks Daryl. This might be the little push I needed to jump in on Melodyne.

(No worries about Bapu. What Bapu doesn't know.....won't hurt him.)

Also, Mesh for me, Melodyne has been unstable for quite some time. They have recently come out with the free 2.1 update and it has been behaving perfectly since.

I have Essentials....great program for straight forward pitch and timing correction.  I have never had any issues with how it reacts to X1.

Daryl, is your system 32 or 64bit? Good to know the update resolved your issues.

totally 64 bit.

I also have Essential using 64bit Sonar X1. The only thing I am missing with it that I really would like is being able fix the pitch in, for instance, a held note where the vocalist slides into the right pitch but the very first part is off. Unless there is something I'm missing, the only way to fix it is to cut the first part of the note and move it to pitch. That can leave glaring artifacts at times. With V-Vocal, that is easily fixable, though Melodyne has the best sound overall.

 I just added this to my tool box. Thanks for the info.

By the way, has anyone seen a good price on upgrading to Assistant from Essential?

You'd have to say that the smart move would be for them to make upgrades a tad more attractive. I expect a decent take up on this offer.
