Assistant to Editor $159, or to Studio $449
I have been using the Assistant version 5 for years with no real need for anymore. However, I recently tried out the 30-day free Studio version demo. Both Editor and Studio upgrades can edit polyphonic instruments while the Assistant can only edit a single tone. I am now convinced I need this upgrade to edit chords and to add harmonies, so I will upgrade.
The question is Editor or Studio?
Editor will allow me to "...edit even polyphonic instruments like piano and guitar. Using all Melodyne’s tools. Vary melodies and chords; change harmonies and tempos at will."
The extra $290 for Studio gives multi track editing “… View and edit as many tracks as you like in a single Melodyne window”.
And the answer is:
I have decided to get the Editor version. While I do see a possible need to work with multiple tracks, I think this will be rare and there are always workarounds. Also, in the future, if needed, I can always do the Editor to Studio upgrade which is currently $299.
Does anyone see a flaw with this decision?

..................

No this is the exact route that I took. I went from the Assistant to the Editor so I could do polyphonic instruments, i.e. my guitar playing ain't as good as it use to be  However sometime later them made me an offer to upgrade to Studio at such a very low price that I couldn't refuse. You will be happy with the Editor.

I have decided to get the Editor version. While I do see a possible need to work with multiple tracks, I think this will be rare and there are always workarounds. I've been using the editor for some time now and see rather disadvantages (in terms of usability) in working with multiple tracks in one Melodyne instance. On the rare occasions when multiple tracks need editing, I edit the first one, render the .wav file to disk, edit the next one and so on.
