Right - More trouble than they expected it seems - but they should be better communicating of general errors. If they don't have a forum anymore, why don't they open one here on KVR. I mean Facebook (

I'm not even on facebook).

Anyhow it's good that at least users can help each-other when the companies themselves can't. Apart from all this (now I got my trial-issues solved) I'm looking forward to dig into the program.

Did you upgrade from v2 editor to v4 studio? Anything missing? Stability wise? workflow wise? which daw?

Yes v2 to v4 studio. I haven't explored it endlessly but I can't find anything missing. Maybe check the GS thread as they've gone through it more meticulously.
Stability wise for me (on OSX 10.10.5) i'm finding it better than V2. I was using V2 in Tracktion 6 mainly and couldn't get it working at all in Ableton Live.
V4 is working in both DAWs and it seems faster, more responsive. Moving blobs around isn't so laggy.
Looks like it will improve my workflow as I can keep using it in T6 and be editing things earlier in Ableton Live.
With the new Studio only features I imagine i'll be editing samples for use in Live or manipulating them and recording the manipulation (with Audio Hijack or Loopback).

I contacted them on 4th January to have my activation reset and they sorted me out within 12 hours

Thanks - I might jump in after all.

Today I finally updated my Essential license to v4.. I immediately noticed something different about the pitch shifting algorithm; it's like the previous version, at same settings, preserved more the formants. I hear more chipmunk effect and artifacts in this, but maybe it's something they changed and you have to accomodate it with different settings.
Do you relate to this?

so who is offering the best price on the Melodyne 4 Studio upgrade ?
I know the list price is $149, but often retailers use discount codes etc...

try jrrshop (FORUM or GROUP codes), audiodeluxe, and search engines
I would have thought intro price had expired by now.

it lasts until the end of this month

I'm checking out jrrshop, will check out audiodeluxe too.

have plenty of time until I purchase though so if anyone else knows any other retailers with discount codes etc or simply a price lower than $149 let us know, cheers.

The upgrade promo price from Editor to Studio lasts until April 30th, not until this month.

Have you checked your system log? I noticed weird system behaviour shortly after I installed Melodyne Essential 4 and checking the console I found it was being flooded with errors from Live. Did a quick search and found this thread.

I'd installed the last 10.10.5 security update at the same time and initially thought that was to blame, but after reading that thread and uninstalling Melodyne the problem went away.

I'm not getting a flood of console errors though I am getting an error about Melodyne 4 VST and it doesn't show up in Live.
I get mdworker "file-read-data" errors about a lot of plugins when I turn AUs on.
Melodyne 4 AU seems to be working fine though.

has there been any improvement in the underlying pitch correction algorithms ? I'm hearing these algos haven't been updated in years - yes ? same for the pitch detect algos ?
