I gave in and purchased Editor. I had a guitar part I wanted to convert to midi. It did not work because Essential is monophonic only. Going to try again now that I have Editor.
 
Thanks for the push over the edge!

This is an evil thread.  If someone would just say something 'bad' about the Editor upgrade, I could proceed with buying the EHX 8 Step Program & Controller that I really 'need' for my pedalboard.

Sorry man, it rocks. And it is one piece of software that doesn't really get old and will stay with you for the rest of your career using DAWs. It's that good, it works with any DAW, and this is a great time to be getting it. More and more DAWs will start to support ARA and you get the full version, not locked to Sonar...

That said, "buy it when you need it" can also be a good rule. If you'd be getting it purely because of the "hip" factor, maybe you could wait for the next sale.

oops,,, question already answered.,,,,,,, 

I really wasn't going to upgrade to Editor, but I think I'm going to be glad I did.  I just started using it tonight and it is more intuitive to me than V-Vocal ever was.  All I've done so far is a vocal track, which the included version probably would have done, but I'm sure I'll be using it more and probably be using it to clean up a few guitar tracks now and then.  Well worth the investment I think.

It'll forward you to an upgrade offer. I'm downloading now. Too bad I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow night to install / play.

I've been really busy at work for the last 3 weeks and the end of the October 16th Editor upgrade is approaching fast.
 
Do you need to install X3 Producer to be able to get register Melodyne Essential, or is the registration part of the Sonar X3 download information you are provided if you order the X3 download?
 
Just wondering if it is too late to download X3 and also take advantage the Melodyne Editor upgrade.

I have a reminder set in my phone to remind me to buy it after my AMEX bill drops for this cycle but before the end of the month... I want it too.

Melodyne Editor 2 was already high on my  "have to get that one" list. Since the best price I found was $288 for Editor2, on eBay, I see getting BOTH the X3PE upgrade and Melodyne Ed2 upgrade as quite the bargain! I have to wait a bit to jump on it, but can't wait to spend that $300! LOL

I cannot be sure on the offer, but I am assuming the registration of Melodyne Essential with X3 then triggers the "upgrade to Melodyne Editor for $150." I believe it is part of the packaging partnership with SONAR, so would not expect it to expire anytime soon.
 
However... the registration of the Melodyne Essential is the "trigger" for the upgrade to Editor offer (I think it was a 10-day window to redeem it).

I believe the offer does end on October 16th.
