Hi Marianna,

Thanks for the reply; looks like someone else may have already got a case started.

For the longest time, I was rendering Whole File AAPs (with the clip handles fully extended) then swapping channels through the Field Recorder / Match Criteria. Using SoundFlow to automate the whole process worked perfectly.

Following all of the Melodyne ARA disasters, I was very hesitant and highly skeptical of the AAP ARA process. After playing with it and getting SoundFlow shortcuts involved), the new workflow has shaved hours off my day since I no longer have to wait for the renders and swaps. That said, I do miss the robustness and full-length, aligned handles the Whole File AAP provides.

What's the latest on this?

Clearly visible in the two screenshots before and after the render. If I remove the crossfade the audio renders without shifting.

I can't explain this, but it's pretty scary!

ARA render bug


Pro Tools 2024.10.1

Hi everyone, I'm sharing a solution that worked for me. Instead of rendering with Melodyne, I used the consolidate clip option. I created the new clip using the process performed in Melodyne without offset.

What jedismusic says, Consolidate clip is a kind of workaround here.
For everyone who's wondering, this crossfade render bug will be addressed in the next Pro Tools release.

Good news - thanks Marlanna!

so glad to find this thread. huge huge ARA disaster. I have been talking with Celemony about this.

Like some i've found a slight workaround to be consolidating, then melodyne, so it's not working on a bunch of separate clips.

I am counting the days to the next PT update...if it's a ton longer I may go back to 2024.6 as I cannot edit vocals reliably in 2024.10.....
