scratch that.  I misunderstood at first read.  I thought they were offering an upgrade from single track to editor for only $49.
 

I had the same misunderstanding.  I thought that if someone could upgrade from the X3 version to Editor for $49 bucks then buying X3 would be a nobrainer.  I've been using Melodyne Editor in an ARA environment all summer and it is fantastic.  Someone coming from X2 (without Melodyne) to the ARA version in X3 is really going to enjoy it compared to V-Vocal (which I learned to manipulate to my satisfaction, as well.)

Yeah, ad definitely needs a re-write.  How hard is it to say "This offer is only for Melodyne Editor v1 owners interested in going to v2" (Unless I've misunderstood it too) .
 

I read it several times and it did say for Editor 1 to editor 2 upgrades. Although I think it was very wordy so I understand how the misunderstanding happened.

This is confusing.  I hope one of the Bakers clarifies this update offer.  If one were to only have X3 and the Melodyne (assistant) that comes with it, do we or don't we get the update fore $49??  AND what is this Update for, what does it include?
 
The wording of this update offer is very confusing.

Did this get clarified?  If we have X3 Producer do we or don't we update Melodyne for this $49???

No that offer is only for people with Melodyne 1.
 
If you want to update Melodyne 2.1.1 Essential (that comes with SONAR X3 Producer or Studio) to editor, you'll need to purchase that through them. I believe it is $299

......... This has got to be the nastiest forum I frequent and I really wish it wasn't so.  

You are kidding....yes?   Try Gearslutz or KVR or quite a few others

Offer now lasts until January 31

They have also extended the offer to upgrade Essential 2.1.1 TO Editor 2.1.1; note that you need to set up your account and register Melodyne BEFORE you click the link. 
 

Here's a link to the special upgrade for Sonar users. It will be valid throughout October/November 2013.

The upgrade from Melodyne Essential to Melodyne Editor is $149 for SONAR X3 customers. It's still going on.
