Where it gives you options on what happens to the original track, select "Do nothing", then Commit. As soon as it finishes, a new track will pop up. This new track is a throwaway and you can delete it, or just Hide and Make Inactive(this is the "safe" choice). Now go back to your original track and open Melodyne. All your audio is transferred in and ready for tuning

Many thanks Albee, was not aware of this workaround. Will try it out today.

The "Albee Trick" IS a huge plus.

Thanks Dave.

Don't make me sound like a genius. I'm pretty sure I stole this trick from somebody else

Take the credit, Dave. You're the one that brought it here.

Heh, that makes me think of Mister Ed, the talking horse when he says to Wilbur, "Take the money, Wilbur"

I swear I read something that the latest 2022.4 has ARA2...but I can't find the information, nor can I see that it's in the latest version...am I nuts?

The commit track ARA trick does work, but can be unreliable. Sometimes it will cut the beginning of the transfer, so you have to manually record that bit in.

I'm not sure if you are allowed to post links, but search "The Melodyne ARA Pro Tools Track Hack" for a video explanation.
