Latest Melodyne and X1d

Does anyone use the latest Melodyne with X1d successfully without ANY issues?

I have plugin V2 (I think, sorry for the lack of knowledge.  Been awhile since I've updated Melodyne).
It works, but I keep getting asked to upgrade.

I am holding off because I've read multiple times that Melodyne has a memory leak issue in Sonar.  Is this still an issue?  I've read that it actually crashes X1.  This is all hearsay so I could be WAY off base, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks guys!

I'm using v1.3 and it works pretty well for me in Sonar X1d.  If there is a memory leak problem with it, it's a pretty slow/minor one.  I run Sonar for hours at a time with melodyne on several tracks without running out of memory and crashing.   That's not too say that melodyne doesn't crash Sonar at times when I do push the memory usage too far or for some other unknown reason.

Yes, there is a memory leak issue, acknowledged by Celemony after they were informed of it by Cakewalk in February following crash dump reports from some Sonar users including me.  They are working on it and a new version of Editor 2.0 is in the works.

Some Sonar users report no problems, some do.  In my case, I can only work on a short clip for five minutes or so before Melodyne freezes solid and in the process locks up Sonar, requiring a Task Manager forced close and a reboot.  I'm on Windows 7 with 32Gb of RAM and that makes no difference.

The additional issue of bouncing a Melodyned clip in real time and not fast seems to be a bug introduced by Cakewalk in X1D and has been reported.  But it's no big deal compared with the whole bloody issue locking up! 

I use it on Studio One 2 as it uses the new ARA technology that allows to to connect at a deep level within the host.
I've tried it as a VST plugin within SONAR and don't have any issue to report but because of the added benefits of using it in real time in S1 I haven't really given it a solid workout. Also works exceptionally well in standalone. I'm so impressed by it I'm thinking of shelling out for the Editor version but waiting on starting my studio build once my new house is finished. Not that that's started yet either.

Editor is the top Melodyne version so it has more features than Essential which is the basic version that I have now.
Not to be confused with Sonars Essential, Studio or Producer Versions.

But in Presonus Studio One Melodyne works at a whole other level  because of ARA that provides a much deeper link to the host than VST alone.

yes, we need ARA in Sonar. And why would Cakewalk not integrate it. There is a SDK by Celemony, so what stops them to have ARA in X1E?

I'm getting "buyers remorse".  I've seen all the glowing reports about how great Melodyne is and better than any other of this type software.  M/F had their stupid deal of the day for Melodyne so I bought it (will be here Monday).  After I bought it I now see several threads about problems or how it doesn't work right with X1.

I guess this is a good example of "Murphy's Law".
