having problems with melodyne plugin

[Jason Brian Merrill]

I really love this plugin --

it works amazingly!

however, it seems to give me some weird intermittent problems lately.

im using it on a test project, and first, it doesnt seem to transfer the audio into melodyne, or at least it doesnt but it doesnt actually show it --- then i try to transfer it again, and it sounds phasy, as if theres two there! So im like, ok.... and i undo all those changes, save the project, reopen it, and all is well.

except now, the plugin is makig the audio only come out of one side. I check the routing and all seems fine!

there are two outputs, stereo and stereo. When i have it setup like this: it works

the first stereo is sent to both track channels and the second is not sent to any... weird, cause i didnt have to do this before, perhaps cause the plugin was at the end of the chain before??!??!? it IS after all a mono track. i wonder.

some weird things nonetheless.

Still having problems with this? I'd like to try it out and am wondering if you ever got it working...

I have another problem with Reaper (1.74) and Melodyne plugin. Inserting the plugin, transfer and edit the audio works fine, but I can't save a preset. When I open the project again (after shutting down Reaper) the audio from Melodyne is out of sync (a few bars!) and the notes are wrong.

Every time I have to edit the audio with Melodyne and the apply the effect to the clip every time, but I would sure like a more non-destructive way to do this :-)

Hmmm, yeah, needs some work!

are you using the rewire or vst bridge? I am talking about the new melodyne plugin, and there was a recent update, 1.01...

are we all on the same page?

Plugin 1.01 working fine here!!! And I really love this plug! I had to tune some vocals in a session, and it really is transparent, if that is the right word. Sounds really uncolored.

[Jason Brian Merrill]

is it really working for you? I get a good render here and there but i get pops and clicks sometimes -- it may have to do wtih the pitch detection though.

OK - very confused here! Sounds like you guys have got it working (at least to a certain extent) without any fiddling, yet I can't get it to record (using demo 1.0.1.0 with REAPER v1.804)

I click Transfer, then get the Waiting for Audio message and when I hit play I see the incoming level but no Recording message - then after I stop the Waiting for Audio message comes back.

Working fine in 2 other DAWs so at least I can tell what *should* happen!

Any thoughts anyone??

[Jason Brian Merrill]

have you scrolled around and looked for stuff in melodyne afterwards?

[drew]

I have.. and also in its recordings folder to see if anything was put there and - nothing!

Just to confirm, does Melodyne plug-in under REAPER show the Playing Back Host Audio + Recording + Detecting Audio messages as with other DAWs?

I'm not getting any of those.

[Jason Brian Merrill]

yeah im getting them :(

I'm also having problems with Melodyne plugin (latest version 1.0.1.).

My problems look like what 3mph described. When I re-open a project with a track that includes Melodyne, the notes are lower in pitch and the audio is only coming through the left speaker.

I found a workaround. Save a patch (fxp) file and remove Melodyne from the FX chain. Add a new Melodyne instance in the FX chain and load the previous saved patch.

It looks to me that Reaper does not save Melodyne's plug-in state correct, I've toggled different options in the VST plug-ins settings and none helped.

Save full VST plug-in state needs to be applied btw, otherwise Reaper will not load when you open a project with Melodyne plug-in (result is a Windows error).
