This was really good info. I don't use ASIO I use MME. Does that make a difference? Thanks

Carolyne,
you can use Melodyne without using ASIO... you just have to change your approach a little bit.

There are a couple of ways to use Melodyne... One way is to click a single button to let Melodyne decide where the notes need to be. When the notes are pretty close to where they need to be, this works great.

But if they are off more than a certain amount, Melodyne may snap the note to the wrong place... and if it happens several times over the whole project, it can really throw you for a loop (also if it happens, it gives you some idea how far off the notes really were!)

Upshot is, if you can't use automatic correction, you have to correct the worst notes manually by clicking on them. If you are using ASIO drivers, as you play the song, the "NOW" line will line up with the notes as they are being played so you can see and hear simultaneously which notes need to be fixed.

If you don't use ASIO, there will be a time mismatch between the "now" line and the note being played, and you'll have to find another way to discern which notes offend your hearing.

Perhaps the best way is by visually comparing the note to the grid. If the blob is not centered in the gridlines, it's probably flat or sharp. So, if you use MME, you can still use Melodyne, although you'll end up working to visual cues more than by following your ear.

does that make sense?
