You might (or might not) need the surrounding thread for context.

Alloy has been replaced by Neutron, now at version 2.

(d) Occasionally it takes more than a few hours for someone who knows the answer to see your post. Acoustica staff are here frequently but they are not here 24-7. I don't know the answer myself, but I have an intuition that Mixcraft doesn't do what you are describing. It sounds like a useful feature...

I checked the Antares website, and Greg is correct. Disregard my previous post in this thread -- although the advice does apply to most cases of misbehaving VST3 plugins.

Have you tried the VST2 version of Autotune? This is the first step in diagnosing any problem with a VST3 plugin.

Note: if Autotune uses ARA the way Melodyne does, then disregard this advice.

There's a chance that this is yet another problematic VST3 plugin. If Antares provides a VST2.4 version of the plugin, the OP should try that.

... I am not certain, but I suspect some of the new features in the plug ins like iZotope Ozone8 and Neutron, where they have modules that intercommunicate, even across tracks, at almost an eerie "smart" or AI level- must be taking advantage of VST3's potential too. ... I don't think comm...

I was under the impression that the main addition in VST3 was explicit support for sidechaining. But most DAWs, including Mixcraft 8, have built-in workarounds that enable sidechaining in VST2 plugins that have a second input. As already mentioned, the ARA protocol used by Melodyne (and very few, if...

File --> Preferences --> Plugins --> Edit VST/VSTi Folders.

You can specify multiple folders here.

In fairness to Mixcraft, this is a quite speciaIised thing -- printing the midi from a 3rd party midi VSTi -- where I've had head-scratching sessions with Sonar, Studio One and others too; and is the only thing in Mixcraft I've seen so far which was not immediately (or soon-enough) obvious ; a show...

Did you purchase Mixcraft Pro Studio? If so the link should be in your account somewhere. If not, the trial version does not include Melodyne.
