Melodyne in Linux

Post by tavasti »

After some searching and trying, reporting current status with Melodyne:

Current version 5 is impossible to run with wine currently, registration fails. There is rumours that cracked versions work, because registration is only thing failing, but I did not verify this. I can't trust cracked software.

But good news is that Melodyne 4.2 works. It is old unsupported version, and got it by asking from Celemony support:
I am linux user, and I would like to use melodyne. There is people who have reported that melodyne 4.2 can be run in linux, but unfortunately I have only access to Melodyne 5 download. Would it be possible to have melodyne 4.2 download also?
And now tested, with wine-6.2 (staging) it works ok.

Can't trust uncracked proprietary software either.

Sure, but level of evil is lesser. They won't encrypt my disk and ask ransom, or they would be in court & out of business soon.

And for milder evil, will free software save you? At least I haven't curated source code of my softwares, and if you use pre-built packages (I do), you can't be 100% sure for package content.

Going offtopic, but: for projects that support reproducible builds (https://reproducible-builds.org/), a 3rd party can verify the binary indeed matches the source. That way, one bad/compromised actor cannot poison a pre-built image, it'd have to be a conspiracy. Reproducible builds are still rare in practice, but we're making progress! Of course, someone should still check the source code...

Hi.
Just wondered if anyone has got Melodyne 5 working in Linux yet? Just got a license. Even if it were only the stand alone version it would make life so much easier to have it on my main (Linux) music pc. Thanks

Is there some caveats on authorization/registering license? And does it need iLok?

I have Essential, it's just a "registered" installer from web site, no iLok required.

I think iLok is optional, the benefit being it makes moving between machines easier.
