How do I insert Melodyne Essential into Sonar?

1.	Select an audio region or clip you wish to process with Melodyne. To select a region on the timeline, use the Smart tool or Select tool and drag across the bottom part of the clip(s). To select an entire clip, simply click the clip. For details, see Selecting clips.

2.	Do one of the following:

In the Track view, click the Region FX menu, point to Melodyne, then select Create Region FX.

Press CTRL+M.

The selected audio region is converted to a Melodyne Region FX clip, and the Melodyne editor appears in the MultiDock view.

There are two primary reasons why Melodyne might not be detected by Sonar:

Melodyne is not being scanned by Sonar's VST Scanner. If you have upgraded from a previous version of SONAR, you might have automatic VST Scanning disabled. These settings could have migrated to Sonar. For information about re-scanning your VST plug-ins, see www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/reader.aspx/2007013315.

You do not have the VST3 version of Melodyne installed. A VST3 version is required for ARA integration. More information about this can be found in the following links:

Why is the polyphonic option under the Algorithm menu disabled in Melodyne Essential?

This feature is exclusive to the Editor version of Melodyne and is unavailable in the Melodyne Essential single track version included with Sonar.

I already own a version of Melodyne Essential or Melodyne Editor. Do I still need to install the Essential version included with Sonar for ARA integration?

No, you do not have to install Melodyne again from Sonar installer for ARA integration to work. You will, however, want to make sure you have the VST3 version of Melodyne Editor installed since the VST3 version is a requirement. We recommend running the latest updates from Celemony to make sure the VST3 version is installed.
