okay, one thing is irratating me: as per the celemony website, melodyne essential does not feature audio to midi convertion - or am I getting this wrong? can you bounce audio to midi with the X3 melodyne version?

Yes you can but only monophonic. There's very little need to "bounce" as such, actually. You just drag an audio file onto a midi track. No need to even turn on Melodyne first.

Seriously, just drag and drop? That's it? This sounds cool!

Yep, even stuff from the browser, straight to a midi track.
To be fair, depending on the source material you may have some cleaning up to do, but it's pretty awesome as a workflow in general.

Or, you could just practice bass and learn to play the song better. :-)

Yeah, this. The "fix" sounds like way more work than just playing the part properly - you know, like musicians have been doing since forever? Nothing against Melodyne - I bought it myself - but it's one of those tools that you should be used sparingly.

I can lay down a solid bass track for my usual rock'n'roll stuff, you know. But sometimes, just sometimes, you need a flawless, almost machine-like bass track. For I suck at keyboards, to play a bass track with my bass and bounce it to midi sounds like a cool thing to try out!
