Hi!
 
I have problems with 2 plugins, Studio Devil VGAII and Cakewalk vocal strip.
 
It does this after a couple of minute, like something is builting up.
 
When I hit save I hear a loud pop in the speaker and the meter stay stuck at +9db, with no continuous sound, just stock. Nothing goes through as it seem to mute the track.
 
If I delete it and reinsert another instance it does the same. I need to restart Sonar.
 
On the vocal strip, it seem to be related to the eq, or the overdrive algo in it, which... is it made by Studio Devil?
 
Well it's a shame cause I get my absolute favorite guitar metal tone with the VGAII and the vocal strip is THE absolute best plugin I've tried for black vocals...
 
Thanks for your help!

Try turning off the Preferences > Audio >Driver Settings "64-bit Double Precision Engine"

Interesting, I kept it off on purpose to avoid issues.
 
I'll try that and report back, thanks!

I used to have "the Vocal Strip problem" but have not had it since updating to Platinum. However, I don't recall this being addressed as a specific fix in the list of fixes. I think I remember someone mentioning that they deleted the AUD.INI file and the Vocal Strip pop went away...or maybe it's that they re-installed the Vocal Strip and it went away.
 
I'd be curious if others have experienced this issue in Platinum. BTW - I use Vocal Strip all the time and I'm mostly white, so I think the Vocal Strip has relatively eclectic musical tastes 

ahaha yeah I meant "black METAL vocals"!!! The plugin seem to also be secular! (just found this word... cool what we can learn here loll!)
 
I'm white too so i can't tell!
 
Well I never had problem with the vocal strip before but it started in x2 for studio devil's vgaII and never went away... 
 
I wrote to cakewalk about this but never heard back, studio devil say it work perfectly with Live.... not sure that's what I wanted to hear but still good to know I guess...
 
Maybe this plugin is not popular enough to get attention, too bad cause it's definitely one of the best, I use it over Brainworx Rockrack when I feel like rebooting Sonar every 10-12 save...

So any clue?
 
Pretty annoying...

Connected or not, I can't say, but I experience a similar phenomenon since Cambridge, whereby if I initiate a file save whilst playback is happening, I get a short, intense burst of noise and meter(s) stuck on some silly high level. I didn't have time to investigate, so I can't even say which plugs were involved or implicated. When it happens again, I'll be more analytic and report in.

Dyonight

I get the same thing with Channel Tools...if I try to use it in an existing project.  Although I can insert it into a new project.

I've had this in vocal strip in Platinum.
 
However, I use vocal strip a lot, 99% of the time without this happening. But once it starts to happen on a given project, it happens a lot. So obviously Vocal Strip is interacting negatively with some other setting or property somewhere.

so far I suspect Prochannel (concrete limiter maybe) and vst2/vst3 relationship but Prochannel is the main suspect...
