Hi Aaron aardvark, sorry for the delay of my answer. Investigating on this one. If i understand it well, your LFO automation is not heard on your exported audio mixdown. i verified it on a cubase pro 8 osx 10.10. i recorded a track using analog LAB 2. inside it i made a multi preset ( with a mini V template 1 osc + 1 straight farfisa). I added an LFO on my mini part, then i automated it's rate. When i exported my audio mixdown to a wave file, my automation settings were not audible. then i did a new export , but this time i ticked "real time export" in audio engine output. This time i heard the LFO rate changes in the new wave file.
hope this helps a bit, i'll investigate further on this one.
Not surprisingly I still don't think the Melodyne and Arturia issues are related. I solved my Melodyne issue by freezing the audio. I tried freezing on the Analog 2 and that did not work. I think I stated on a different thread that sometimes Matrix 12V loses its patch memory and has a different patch than what I had originally. The recent Arturia update seems to have improved that issue, but it still happens sometimes. One thing that did not improve is an effect issue with Piano-V. I have a user patch, and very often, when I open Cubase (with a song I'm working on) there is no reverb, when there should be. Sometimes, when I switch patches and come back to my original patch it works again. Other times I have to turn off my computer, then turn it on again before it works right. Other times the reverb works, and there is an extra unwanted effect: a delay of about one second! This is really weird because I don't even think there is a delay effect in Piano-V, so I don't know what is going on there. I hope Arturia can fix this. I have had patch memory issues with Arturia for years with various Arturia products.
I have Mac OSX 10.9 and Cubase 8.5 AI (latest version). I realize this initial issue probably has nothing to do with Arturia: I recorded some lead electric guitar and improved the timing of my playing on a few notes and shifted a few notes using the latest version (I think) Melodyne 4 assistant as a plug-in. It sounds fine on play back, but when I exported the entire song, the volume of that lead guitar fluctuates roughly 1 db in a random fashion (not always the same way).
Potential Arturia problem: same song with Arturia Analog Lab 2 (in a multi mode with 2 synths on one track): it sounds fine on play back, but when I export the song, there is no LFO (low frequency oscillator vibrato) on that synth. Anyone have the same issues or have any solutions?
