Lots of good stuff. They released a group of 18 videos with the news of Melodyne 5. Lots of geek factor in these for those who like to learn all of this....
I'm using editor here also. Upgrade was $99, not a bad price IMHO.
Yes, I upgraded through Sweetwater since I have a card with them. Went to enter the key code at Celemony and found I had upgraded to Studio and some point. I totally forgot!
I called Sweetwater and they were able to refund my Editor upgrade and get me the Studio upgrade I needed. Great customer service! I was able to get the correct code in and I'm up and running.
OK, I have Melodyne 4, Assistant. It does not have DNA Direct Note Access – algorithms for polyphonic instruments such as piano and guitar. So I assume all this "Chord Stuff" onlyl works with the more expensive versions? Is that correct?

You need Editor or Studio for this “Chord Stuff”.
Ya, that is what I figured, thanks for confirming. Looks like $249 needed for dual upgrade, version 4 to 5 and assistant to Editor.
Then there is EZBass for $149. No way I can spend $400 and get both.

I would check it out as this was mention in the Reaper forum:
Quote:
Apparently even Melodyne 5 Essential can get create a chord track from polyphonic audio..
It shows about the chord options. At the end he goes on to say that even the Essentials Program will display chords. You can only edit monophonic but it will display the chords (polyphonic).
That’s how I understand it.

Wonderful The video clearly says the chord identification works in all versions of Melodyn. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The $49 upgrade is much more palatable.
I have Melodyne Studio 4.2.3.001. I use it almost every day for pitch and time correction...
Apparently my upgrade price for Studio 5 is $149. I'm wondering if it's worth the price... any thoughts..?
Here is my benchmark standards for software:
no-brainer limit < $49 USD stretch-limit $50 - $99 USD ouch-limit $100 - $149 USD but I really need this limit $150 - $199 no-way limit >$200
I have Melodyne Assistant 4.0, to upgrade to Melodyne Assistant 5.0 - $49 Then to go up to Studio 5.0 is another $199. So I am asking the same question as you

I upgraded from Studio 4 to 5 as well. For me it's about having the latest features and tech. Go through all the info they have on the new features of 5 and make the choice. If you cannot justify the money because 4 is doing every thing you need it to, don't upgrade.
Repeating the link for all the videos for you to peruse. That helped me a lot. Melodyne 5 Videos
If you would like to do any what's shown in this video, then you'll need the Studio version. I bought the Studio version during the v2 to v4 upgrade for a similar price. Never regretted it. Don't use the Studio features often, but when you need them, it's a huge time saver. And Melodyne 5 is now easily my deesser of choice!

Just installed this Melodyn 5 Assistant upgrade, and had an immediate Virus Alert from MS Defender during the install. Win 10 was the Newest Version (Just installed Win 10 update v2004 hours earlier). Machine shut down hard. I grabbed this image just before shutdown. Took some time to get the machine running again. Install appears to be successful. Both standalone and VST3 in Reaper loads with no issues.
Just wanted to give you a heads up. This sounds like complaints we get at times for BIAB updates. I can only imagine (and hope) it was a false alarm due to the ever changing versions of Win 10.
in the past when Melodyne released a new version, I would get an email with an upgrade price. I have not received anything about Melodyne 5. What is everyone else's experience? Those who upgraded: did you take the initiative? Or did you follow their invitation?

As of today I have not received an email from Celemony either. After reading about the upgrade here I went on their web site and ordered the upgrade.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I did receive an email the first day it was released but it did not include a price. I am a Melodyne Studio user and it took me a little bit of searching for the upgrade price. How I finally found it was by logging into my account and fumbling around in that area. Mind you this was the very first day it was released. I did purchase the upgrade for I believe $149. I know I could of got it cheaper from Sweetwater and others but I was a little excited. It is one of my favorite tools. Brian

Well I must be “lucky” I’ve not only received emails but more annoyingly I get sent off to the Celemony WEB Site regularly to be reminded about the update whilst using Melodyne. I rarely use Melodyne so at this time I don’t see a need to update. I use it mostly for converting audio to MIDI but have found using Reatune in Reaper probably does it easier. For monophonic tracks Reatune seems a really good tool for tuning a track and in my humble opinion easier all round than Melodyne.

last evening I watched all 18 videos about the new Melodyne 5. It's a pretty impressive update to an already amazing product! I hope they've finally solved the problem with artifacts. We'll see in a few minutes... getting ready to install it now!
I have a trial version of Melodyne 5. I Have a problem with playback. When I double click on the ruler I’m supposed to have melodyne and the DAW track play at the same time. This does not happen. My DAW track plays back without a vocal and I hear nothing from the Melodyne track. What am I doing wrong? I can’t get this to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I was on the fence about going to Melodyne 5 but I watched Mike Enjo’s video and some of the features looked good. I got some money refunded for the trip to Europe I paid for last year but cannot take due to the lockdown, so I thought why not.
Well I’m totally surprised and thrilled to bits.
I usually use Melodyne for converting a bit of whatever audio to MIDI. For example a RealTrack when there is something I don’t like about the instrument but like what is played. Often however there is quite a bit of playing about in Melodyne 4 such as deleting or moving blobs. Sometimes it is hard to get the chords and or picking just how it was.
Today I pulled the audio of some Realtracks I had played with in the past into Sonar. Used Melodyne 5 with ARA. Melodyne 5 neatly found the chords and correct notes saved it as MIDI. Unlike in the past the MIDI came up clean without a heap of extra notes I did not want. This was both for piano, bass and guitar.
All I then had to do was pull in the MIDI tracks apply them to the instrument and away it went. Very easy and done in no time. I was able to put in what was a RealTrack picking on a nylon string guitar and apply the picking to the AmpleSound Martin Acoustic. Also a piano track that I didn’t like the tone so much put the track to Addictive Keys where I could set my own tone.
A long story but what I’m trying to say is the Melodyne 5 update is well worth it IMHO.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
