Time/Pitch Stretch 2 - REPORTED! Don't try this at home

hi there,...
can you verify something for me please ?
 
There's def. something wrong with the Time/Pitch Stretch2 Process. Sonar might even crash on you and I'd recommend to save the project before using this "plug in". (or just create a new project, or just don't bother with it at all until it's fixed!)
But then I hope Cakewalk will fix it soon as this issue might not only be valid for this certain plugin but also for others, besides that the time/pitch-stretch function can be a really creative instrument.
Again "sorry" to Forummember Bub who lost 2 hours worth of vocals while tracking down the issue for me - I really feel bad about this!
 
Cakewalks Time/Pitch Stretch 2 Plugin is not quite working for me as it had in previous versions of sonar..
I have the very latest patches installed.
 
2 issues..
the 1st time I've tried using the "plug in" the cliplength would not correspond to the clipcontent.. meaning that the clip would overlap by several measures with emptiness (I could not reproduce this yet again)
now the more severe issue..
you stretch a clip by 200%, that would result in a stretched clip that would be twice as long as the original clip (200%..), wouldn't it ?
yeah it would.. but instead it has the same length as the original clip and cuts the audio after halfway through..
 
the workflow:
add a clip (vocals prefered)
cut/trim a single word from the vocal track
right click the clip -> process audio -> cakewalk -> time/pitch stretch 2-> move the horizontal slider to 200% (time)-> click "ok"
 
now I only hear half of the word in half speed, instead of the complete word in half speed..
anyone else ?
 
and yes I know about the [ctrl]-trim/stretch clip option, I am not looking for a workaround.
thx

2nd issue confirmed. It appears SONAR is failing to increase the length of the clip to accommodate the stretched audio. If you manually slip-edit the clip boundary to the right, the audio is there.

thanks for verifying..
I think that the audio to the right is also unprocessed, there appears to be all kind of weirdness when manually slip editing (like having a "cut" while slip-editing)
hm..
a bit annoying as I just wanted to start a new song idea with time and pitch stretching.. oh well.. must be a sign then..
 

What's the trick to getting Time/Pitch 2 plugin to work? I've never been able to get it to load in any version of Sonar.

@Bub
right click the clip -> process audio -> cakewalk -> time/pitch stretch 2
and then just play with the sliders and use pre-listen/preview (I am using a german version, sorry) to hear the effect.. and "ok" to confirm
pretty straight forward (at least it used to be), and it really really is a cool effect, worth having it fixed.
 
Edit
only tested it with 32bit versions of Sonar.. might be that 64bit behaves different

(I am using a german version, sorry)

Is this maybe another Sandy Bridge side-effect? Seems that processor and the problems running SONAR on it are more common with Euro users.

Thanks for the info.

I forgot to save about 2 hours worth of vocal takes I just did and Sonar crashed when I tried to adjust the settings on the Pitch 2. I lost it all.

Unbelievable.

yeah it would.. but instead it has the same length as the original clip and cuts the audio after halfway through..

 
I have had this problem for ages, I believe since sonar xl (was it called that?).
I always thought it was me...
