I've already bought Melodyne so no big deal there. Hopefully the little Pro-channel bugs are fixed.

I already have Melodyne too, but if it integrates like V-Vocal it's a big plus.

Dunno if anyone's played around with Melodyne in Studio one, but Celemony's ARA tech takes things a lot further than using it as a plug in can, and a lot further than V-Vocal's integration went. It's high time for Sonar to have that.

What is ARA integration exactly? (Guess I'll probably get that scoop in a matter of hours I would guess). There must be a lot under the hood for X3...the gui hasn't changed much. I'm kind of glad, I like the gui.

Short version: It's like look-ahead processing on steroids. Roughly equivalent to the way you had to convert regular clips into V-Vocal clips, but just a lot better realised. Not being mean about V-Vocal, but it is 8-year-old tech (at least), and inevitably, someone has now done it better.

I love Melodyne. I have to change the buffers from 128 to 1024 to use it, but it's not a big deal.

You can think of ARA/Melodyne as an audio PRV.   I've been using it like this since S1 v2 came out and it is a great feature - I can't imagine using Melodyne as a plugin at this point.   And FWIW, I've never had to raise the buffers in S1 to use it.
 

It is a fake !!!!
 
track 5 the TOMS track is highlighted and chosen
 
however the Melodyne dialog states it is processing a BASS GUITAR track...
 
everyone knows BAPU does the bass track and nails it right the first time, he dont neeed no stinking correction..

The picture may be a fake but the info about X3 isn't.

No mock?... You cut me deep, Strummer... YOU CUT ME DEEP!!!
