Anyone having trouble buying at the Celemony site?
 
Rejecting both good credit cards....weird... keeps saying check numbers....

The same thing happened to me... (I'm assuming you're in America?)  I checked my credit card's website, and realized that my account had been locked.  So I called the card company, and they told me it's because I tried to make a purchase from a company in Germany (Celemony)... So they assumed it was fraud, and locked my account.  So I just told them "Nope, that was me..." and after about 25 minutes of horrible phone support, they finally unlocked my account, and I was able to make the purchase. 
So I would assume it's the same issue that you're having?
 
With that being said... I bought the upgrade to Melodyne Editor 2 days ago... (October 1st)... What are the chances that they would still give me the discount price somehow?  (Refund or something?)  Am I just out of luck for jumping the gun on this one?  I'm sort of keeping my fingers crossed, because I agree with the people that are saying the upgrade price to X3, plus the upgrade to Editor (plus BFD3), plus paying rent, etc... It all stacks up pretty quickly... I TOTALLY could have waited 2 more days to make the upgrade if I would have known that there would be a discount like this so quickly.

I wish that I had paid only $150 for my Editor upgrade from Essential but I have no regrets. It's a great tool.
While I like Melodyne a lot more than V-Vocal, I still keep V-Vocal around because it has has a couple of tricks missing in Editor (like the pencil editing tool).
 

Intrigued by essential I also bought the editor upgrade.
I'm glad I did. 
This is fantastic software. I didn't know such AI was possible at this time.

For anyone still waiting for an e-mail, just register a myCelemony account here...

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.

Thanks,....That's still great even tho i am in the UK. Another valid reason for me to upgrade to X3. It's getting harder to resist.!

I think the email offer only went out to people who had already upgraded to X3 and registered Melodyne Essential.  I assume if you upgrade to X3 now, you will soon receive that same offer.

The ARA integration is superb and makes the X3 upgrade worthwhile in itself. I already have Melodyne Editor and use it extensively.

I also had editor v 1.1 so the upgrade to 2 was only $49..I think if your going in cold you have to set up an account at Melodyne or the purchase process guides you through setting one up

I too had Editor 1.1 but recently received an email from Celemony with a link to download the 2.1.1 as a free upgrade.  It said something about it being a one-time download and NOT to interrupt the download.
 
I downloaded it and it installed just fine right over my previous version.  Working great with no problems.

Can you send me a copy of the Melodyne upgrade email?
 
I've already registered and still waiting :-(

after seeing this thread I checked my spam folder, there it was! No I am a proud owner of editor.

I hope when I get to installing X3 this weekend I get that.

Just in case this is useful to anyone I upgraded and couldn't get editor to open only essential  after trying everything my little brain could think of I thought maybe check Melodyne forum where it was suggested to remove essential first. I did this then re did the melodyne setup  and now I have Editor yippee don't know if it was just me or this is standard

Thanks anotherpaul, that was useful. I had the same thing happen last night. I kinda figured that's what I'd try next when I got time.
By the way. I got the offer to upgrade right as I was registering the Sonar version of essentials. I took them up on it and it had a link to a "personalized" download. 10 minutes later I also got the email offer.
 
They make it clear that it's the same software, just with different authorizations for all the advanced functions based on the registration.
 
Now if I can just get it to recognize the new reg number. Tomorrow I'll uninstall and try the install with the new reg number. Seems odd this would be an issue though. You'd think an upgrade would be a really routine procedure.
 
Can't wait to get my hands into X3. Too busy to get dirty with it for a while.  Warning: Success Sucks! I remember seeing a comedienne who said her therapist told her she was afraid of success. She said "yeah, I am a little afraid it'll cut into my sittin' around on my azz time". ;)
