Front part of waveform too quiet for V-Vocal

The first part of the note is too quiet for V-Vocal in sonar 8.5. I tried upping the volume and bouncing down to a track and that didn't work. Any ideas? Do I really have to up the volume and export and re import? Would upgrading help?

    I found I can use a compressor and bounce it down as the bounce doesn't use the volume level. Any other ideas?

    Can you just re-record it? 

    You could select the section and try to normalize it and then bounce to a track, but fixing it in the mix is rarely the best solution.

    If you increased the level and it was still too low for V-V to pick up, then it's possible that low volume isn't the problem. V-V will also skip a portion of a clip if it's too noisy, breathy, distorted or atonal. Best strategy is to simply not attempt to tune that note. I'd even go as far as splitting the clip so that note's not even in the V-V clip.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
