Celemony has updated Melodyne studio and cre8 to v3.1.2.
Bug Fixes :

Audio transfer using the MelodyneBridge:

* Transferring audio via the MelodyneBridge could in some cases damage previously edited files that have been exported using the Save audio command before.
* Exporting split stereo files could keep the MelodyneBridge from doing further transfers.

Ableton Live and the MelodyneBridge:

* Removing a previously inserted MelodyneBridge (AU version only) from a track in Ableton Live could crash Live.

Known issue: Broadcast WAV Time Stamps:

* Melodyne doesn't recognize time stamps in broadcast WAV files. It can load and save such files, but the time stamps get lost.
