I have taken the step of downloading Melodyne Editor, as there is a special offer on registration. I am already asking a lot of my laptop, but purchased because I will be buying a new laptop, when I finally see a suitable one available.  As essential will cover most of my basic needs for now, I would like to keep using that to save on resource demands. If I upgrade, do I get the option in Sonar choose Editor or Essential when creating a region effect, or will it just show Editor.
 
Or am I worrying about nothing, because the resource demands difference is negligible and more dependent on  what I am processing, than what I am processing with.

Hi Scoot . . . Melodyne Editor can do so much more than the Essential version, but you have answered that part of your question . . . if you use the polyphonic feature, and higher end editing features that Essential is not capable of, you will surely use more resources on your laptop.
 

Once you have upgraded to Editor version there is no choice to select the Essential version in Sonar region FX area, only Editor version will be available.

Cool, thank you. Mainly using for correcting my awful intonation/timing of my flute playing, and I suspect, the awful intonation of my alto flute. very happy with the initial results.
 
Guess I'll get on and upgrade it.
 
Thanks for answering.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) . . . Melodyne Essential that comes with Sonar 3 just tantalizes the possibilities, and shows how good the Celemony Melodyne product really is, such that you really keep thinking "upgrade" . . . upgrade,  upgrade.  If you have the cash, it's a great choice to do the upgrade.

Since both versions are essentially (ha!) the same and only the serial unlocks the different features, I would guesstimate the resource difference is non existent as long as you don't use the extra features.

Editor rocks.... used in it's melodic mode I think you'll be just fine on the lappy.

No, they are the same Melodyne Singletrack binary files. How the product is licensed determines the features available. SONAR ships with the license for Essential. The upgrade to Editor only changes the registration information for Melodyne Singletrack unlocking the Editor feature set.

Isn't that what I said and what you asked? I'm confused?

You must be. I asked no questions in this thread.

Oh haha, "Scoot", now I noticed! Sorry. I thought it was weird you would ask something like that :)
