oooops, wrong thread.

If you uninstall an older (X2 or before) version of Sonar, it will delete VVocal from your system, even if you still have a newer-older version.
 

Yes, there is a warning at the beginning of every version of SONAR X3 and before about removing older versions. Removing older versions can result in loss of shared binaries. This warning goes on to recommend removing old versions before installing the new version. Unfortunately, V-Vocal is no longer included so the damage done by removing old versions is not healed by installing the current version. V-Vocal has not changed for some time so several uninstallers make think it is OK to delete.

The loss of VVocal functionality is a lot less surprising than the crashes that result.

Yeah, missing V-Vocal should not crash SONAR. Have you written a Problem report about it?

Yes, I sent minidumps.

E.g. I uninstalled 8.3 and X1 while keeping X2 & X3. Then I installed Platinum. VVocal was gone from the system, but somehow VVocal was still in the RFX menu. Platinum crashed from trying to add RFX VVocal. Also when I opened an earlier project in Platinum that has VVocal on it, Plat crashed. To be fair, X3 and probably X2 also started behaving this way.
 
I reinstalled X2 over itself to get back a working VVocal. Then I reinstalled Platinum to get the latest versions of various dll's that X2 seemed to put in the shared & common areas.

Not something we can fix. Probably the VVocal uninstaller did a bad job and only partially removed itself.

Hello, So I finally got around to getting Platinum a couple weeks ago.. I went from 8.5 straight to Platinum. I was getting the job done so to speak with 8.5 never felt the need to switch, that and dropping cheese on something I already had.( pretty stupid thought process)I have some catching up to do..It took me a moment to figure out the skyline setup. IT IS AWESOME! Now I am able to use my duel monitors proper with sonar. So I am new to writing into these forums but I need some help on this one, with the topic V Vocal. I used it quite a bit in 8.5. And I do not see it here in Platinum, but the big issue is, any clips I have with it v vocal on it are silent. I am hoping I can go into my plugin manager and find it. Fingers crossed on that!! If it is the case I am not able to find it could anyone let me know what I need to do to remove the v vocal process off my clips so I get the sound back. I am hoping I will be able to import it.
   Thats one issue I have come across with platinum the second. I bought Yamaha DXT430k EDrums. I'm not new at midi setup but I am having one hell of a time trying to clear up the latency issue I am having with it. I have other midi devices that I have no issue with.
  I just installed my old UA 25ex interface to see if maybe that might help, but nope that the case.. I have looked everywhere to find a solution and nothing seems to work. PLEASE ANY SUGGESTION anyone?

VVocal is no longer delivered with recent versions of Sonar. Separation from Roland and all that.
 
But if you reinstall your 8.5 (minimal installation, no plugs), you'll get VVocal back again and it will work as a region effect. Your old projects should work again, too. If you uninstall 8.5 you'll lose VVocal again.

Are you using any audio plugins with the DTX? If so, as a test remove them, toggle the PDC button, and see if that fixes the problem.

aaand scook teaches me something new yet again.
 
Give this man a free membership, Bakers. That is if you haven't already.

scook has no need for a free membership. He conjures up SONAR whenever he needs it solely from his powers of concentration. Rumor has it he even conjured up SONAR on an iPad for several minutes before it dissipated and turned into GarageBand, but this has never been proven.
 
He refuses to talk about this for some reason although to be fair, as a species Alpha Centaurians are characteristically somewhat shy.
