Melodyne and Vocal synch here as well, all I need to do what im doing.
with that being said, I've blocked this user. reply's are a little harsh for me.
Good luck.

Personally, I don't have any need for either one so for those rare occasions when I do need alignment, like others I do quite alright with Melodyne + VocalSync. 



Bingo. My Volkswagen isn't a "piece of crap" because it's not a Testarossa. But - if I ever need to take curves on the Amalfi drive at 120 MPH, I'll look into the Testarossa.
 
If VocalSync didn't do what I needed, I would seek a more powerful tool because I need to hit deadlines. But I know how to sing, how to overdub, and how to get the most out of VocalSync; it does what I want 95% of the time. The other 5% I break the vocal into smaller clips or worst case, do manual stretching. Assuming VocALign would actually take care of that other 5%, at least to me VocALign PRO is not worth 2.5+ times the cost of what yearly memberships used to cost. Maybe I'd feel differently if I did dialog replacement 8 hours a day for the next Stars Wars.
 
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if Cakewalk was already aware of what would be needed to incorporate VocALign PRO (and what is it with these companies? Can't they afford to replace their keyboards with one where the caps lock works properly? ). Obviously it was a higher priority for Studio One because they don't have anything like VocalSync.

What is not clear to me is will those plugins work or not with Sonar. According to the Synchro Arts web site Sonar is compatible. So again what is the problem?

Similarly, Melodyne works with programs that don't have ARA. It just works more efficiently with the two that do.

It looks like they explain using it as a normal VST plugin; they don't say it's compatible with Sonar's ARA.

If it were available as a Region FX, there would be a menu option in the Region FX menu. At least that is how every other plug-in using ARA has been added to SONAR. Adding a product like this to SONAR would likely result in a press release and a listing in http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Rolling-Updates#start. It would seem there is no immediate plan to integrate VocaLign as a Region FX in SONAR.

Unless I have missed something they are talking about X3.

VocalSync is okay but no where near as powerful/accurate as VocAlign in my experience.  Which is somewhat understandable as Synchro Arts has been specializing in that area for quite some time.  Plus the weird quirks with VocalSync have almost made me abandon it completely at this point.  I have actually been contemplating purchasing VocAlign as I do a lot of R&B/Pop work that often times has extensive harmonies and vocal stacks and it would be a huge time saver for me.  I've been trying to hold out to see if Sonar updates and/or fixes the quirks in VocalSync.  I'm starting to think it's not gonna happen any time soon and may go ahead and take the plunge. 
 
I really don't see anything wrong with the initial question.  Honestly, I saw Studio One's integration a couple of days ago and was actually wondering the same thing.

Base 57 And I would bet a lifetime subscription that SONAR will never integrate Revoice as long as it requires ILok.
