I'm wondering how many tracks I can use simultaneously with Melodyne Bridge...... 8 is the maximum?

8 is not the maximum. The bridge shows you 8 tracks as a default but you can add more in Melodyne Studio, File menu>insert empty tracks and they will show up in the bridge.

Yeaahh. Thanks creater

Hello,

I'm afraid this is only half the truth. You can have more than eight tracks in Melodyne studio, but if you are asking for a simultaneous use with the MelodyneBridge, you need to consider technical limitations. See our FAQ > ReWire and MelodyneBridge > How many channels can be transmitted via the MelodyneBridge?

I read the FAQ. I'd say it's an important clarification. I mainly wanted to know if I could add other tracks,over the default eight, but it's important to know that I have to pay attention to use maximum 8 simultaneously in Real Time, cause otherwise I could encounter performance problems..
Thanks Claudio

Excuse me, but I don't understand well.. I get the impression that in this way there's anyway only One Melodyne instance, connected by Bridge to Logic, which manages 15 tracks. So, what does it change?
And I don't even understand when you say "Activate channels 1 to 8 in the bridge".. I usually activate one channel per bridge instance, and each bridge is opened for each track. I effectively see that a bridge instance can activate all channels simultaneously, but I can't realize what's its use..

Edited see posting below.

Excuse me if I am slow on the uptake...
but it escapes me the way to simultaneously transfer more tracks with only one bridge instance
If I have, say, 8 tracks to transfer and I open a single Bridge instance on a track, how can I transfer the others?

Edited, see posting below

Each bridge instance must have activated all channels? And where have I to click "transfer" button? On whatever instance?

So, at present you're using same way of mine: one bridge instance per track....

Yes, your way is the right way. I would prefer a condensed, expandable bridge window that includes transfer-buttons for the activated tracks.

yeah. I agree

Hello guys,

wow, there seems to be some confusion about how to use the MelodyneBridge. If you are still unsure, please see chapter 07-01 in your manual, where we have described everything in detail.

Yes this soon became experimental.) My result is that 15 tracks is the limit for simultaneous bridge-transfer with Logic. If you want to test it, this is what I do. I start Logic and create 15 audiotracks then start Melodyne Studio with an 8 track arr and while having track 8 selected I add 7 more tracks utilizing 'insert empty tracks' below the selected track. All channels will show up in the MelodyneBridge with normal count# 1 to 15. I save the Studio arrangement.

Insert a bridge on each Logic track and set bridge numbers 1 to 15.
(I have actually made a Logic autoload/template with 15 Melodyne bridges in by-pass mode for ease of use.) When I activate transfer all 15 tracks are being transferred simultaneously into Studio on their appropriate Studio tracks #1-15 very nice. 15 tracks is the limit (16 doesn't work). Having MelodyneBridge preloaded as first instance on every track is quite handy sometimes so I will use it more often because of this. Maybe it's not the right method theoretically but it sure works in reality.
