Transfer not working

    Hi Andrew,

    This thing is fantastic! But I'm not getting audio into my Melodyne. It probably has to do with the transfer button. Here's a screenshot:

    The Melodyne version number is: Melodyne Studio 4.2.4.001 (64-bit) AAX

    Thank you!

        Hi Kyrre,

        Can you tell me which script you are using? There are a couple in the package and for Studio I'd recommend using the Melodyne Studio/Editor Prep template preset. If that still doesn't work could you do a screen recording so I can see where it's going wrong?

        Thanks,
        Andrew

            Hi again,

            I was using the Melodyne Studio/Editor Prep template preset. I wont be back in the studio before Monday, but I'll do a screen recording then and show you.

            Thank you again

                I made a screen recording of what happens when I try to use the Melodyne Prep script, here it is on youtube: https://youtu.be/A8pjeH3GNaY

                Thank you again, and have a good Sunday evening!

                    Is there any way you could send me the video (Dropbox/weTransfer/whatever).? I need to be able to go frame by frame to see exactly what's going on. It looks like it's clicking the transfer button but it only hi-lights, not activates which is odd.

                        Hi Andrew,

                        Here is a link to download the screen recording: https://we.tl/t-TGc0KtXiaT

                        There might be some problems in my actual Melodyne system, I'll take a look at that too.

                        Thanks again!

                            Thanks! This confirms that the button is hi-lighting but not actually engaging transfer mode. I'll try adding a short wait between clicking the button and closing the plugin window, but please let me know if you find anything on your end.

                            Version 1.0.20 has the added wait.

                                Thanks, Andrew! Installed version 1.0.20, but still have the same problem. Made a new video, and also included myself doing the same manually via using the commit function (without closing the Melodyne window, though), so you can see if there's any differences. Let me know if you need anymore from me. I'm in mixing mode all week, and the troubleshooting is a welcome break. :)

                                Here's the new video: https://we.tl/t-G5C0XWW5SW

                                    That's really strange. In this video you can see the Transfer button becoming active, but it doesn't transfer. I think it might be a weird Melodyne thing. Can you check one more thing for me? Try manually engaging the Transfer button, then close and re-open the plugin to confirm that it's still engaged and waiting? I'm wondering if it is somehow becoming disengaged when closing the plugin window.

                                        Ah, actually I just realised that the current version of the script is Freezing instead of Committing, let me change that and publish version 1.0.21. I'm going to add a parameter to the Template script to select Freeze or Commit so you can try both.

                                        There's something weird with Melodyne that may mean Freezing doesn't work for transferring anymore.

                                            Aha! Yes, when I use freeze it does not work when I do it manually either! We might be nearing an answer.

                                                It works now! Very grateful, Andrew!

                                                    And Freeze used to work. I'm finding with the latest version of Melodyne that with Commit it is almost always incorrectly choosing the percussive algorithm too. Something has changed, but having to re-detect is still tiny compared to having to manually transfer.

                                                        Hmm, that's weird, but yes, even with having to re-detect this is still a real workflow booster and time-saver.

                                      Hey Andrew! I'm having a similar problem. Melodyne is sometimes not transfering all the audio from a track. I realized after reading your post above that I was not using the STudio Prep editor and when I fixed that, the audio did come in but I'm still running into this issue: for some reason I can't add Melodyne to every track in my session all at once without it stopping after a few tracks. i have to do it in batches. also, as you'll see towards the end of the video, something must have happened because a dialogue box was left up and when I clicked it, it deleted the audio files permanently. (Of Course I had it backed up!) Also attached is a screenshot. Some of the transfer buttons are still red after prepping. should I be concerned about missed audio? Would love to get this script up and running because it seems like a serious time saver. Any thoughts?

                                      • note, I couldnt upload the .mov file - is there another way I can share the error with you?

                                          Hey Sam,

                                          The video would be super helpful. Just put it on any online thing (dropbox/box/etc) and post the link here so I can see what's going on.

                                          Thanks,
                                          Andrew

                                                  Hey Sam,

                                                  I see the problem. The script will only work if the tracks are visible on the screen. This is because to address the inserts the insert button has to be visible. I have some ideas of how to get around this without slowing down the script too much but it might take me a while to implement. In the meantime just do groups of tracks that will fit on the screen and I'll let you know when a new version is available.

                                                  Thanks
                                                  Andrew

                                                      @Sam_Perlow I think I've fixed it to work with tracks that are off screen. Let me know how the new version works. Thanks.
