Hi all.
 
There was a recent discussion about VV and someone posted a tip to get it to work properly in situations where it wouldn't load properly, if at all.
 
The sear function is next to useless and I only get one hit from 2015 which doesn't address this issue.
 
Can anyone remember this, or indeed what the suggested workaround might have been?
 
Thanks in  advance

That's a bit vague.. What symptoms are you experiencing? I don't have any advice other than to reinstall an earlier version of SONAR (X2 or older). Having just re-installed all my music software into a clean Windows 10 machine, I can confirm that V-Vocal is working for me... not helpful, I know.

If you go back to [Cakewalk Products] (link at top left) so you can see all the forums, then do a search, there are many more hits than searching within the Sonar forum alone. Alternatively (just discovered this), use the top right search rather than the lower forum search. There are many more hits for vvocal. You might also try searching for cronus, since the vvocal code is contained in cronus.dll.
 
My version works fine with SPlat. cronus.dll is version 1.5.2.5, and sits in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi
 
Good luck.
 
Cheers, Peter.
 

Took me a minute to figure out what the "sear function" was...I thought I knew V-V pretty well but hadn't heard of that feature. :)
 
Have you tried using google, e.g.
    site:forum.cakewalk.com V-Vocal
 
That gives me 3,320 results. Adding another qualifier, e.g. "crash" would likely narrow the results.

Got another thing to share regarding VV
 
Today we laid down the vocals for a song.
 
I recorded everything in very short sections of maybe a bar or 2.
It comprised of  a mina vocal, a harmony vocal and sometimes a third line.
These were all double tracked so 12 tracks in total.
 
I bounced one to clip and inserted VV from Region FX
V-Vocal crashed  instantly.
 
Sooo... I started tidying them up reducing the 12 tracks to 6 and bounced each one to make 6 contiguous clips
 
Selected track 1 for a laugh, inserted VV and it worked!!
 
Go figure.

V-Vocal is the reason I stuck with SONAR during the X1 transition. I love it.
 
Hopefully one of those 3,320 hits will provide the solution Bristol needs.
