How to: Install & Register Melodyne

Melodyne is installed as an add-on and is part of the Cakewalk Sonar installation process. Please ensure that it is selected for download and installation. A 30-day trial version of Melodyne is included with Cakewalk Sonar.


Melodyne will now be found in Cakewalk Sonar as Audio FX on a track or as Region FX on a clip. When first opening Melodyne, you will be prompted to activate the product. Here's a quick step-by-step if you're activating Melodyne within Cakewalk Sonar:

  1. Launch Cakewalk Sonar and choose a new or existing project.
  2. On an audio track, find the FX Bin and click the [+] to add a new plugin.
  3. Find Melodyne. If you sort by manufacturer, you will see a tab for Celemony.
  4. When Melodyne has been added, the editor menu and a note to activate the product will appear.
  5. Follow the prompts from Celemony, which should include creating a myCelemony account and registering your product. You can activate the Melodyne trial directly from the Celemony site!

Note: If you want to install Melodyne without installing Cakewalk Sonar, you can download the direct installer for Melodyne 5 Studio Trial here.
