    You have to have a clip or track selected ie highlighted before you can use V-Vocal; also it can' be a groove clip or have audio Snap enabled at the same time.
     
    Also win 8 is not yet released let alone supported. While there will be a patch for SONAR X2 there certainly won't be one for SONAR X1.
     
    Really need a it more informatin about what you have done.

    Looks to me like that is a groove clip (rounded corners). They are also incompatible with V-Vocal. Either turn looping off or as Bristol_Jonesey suggested bounce to clip

    "Rounded corners"

    This is the visual confirmation that it is indeed a Groove Clip.

    Audio snap active? Open the inspector and have a look at the audiosnap tab (under the clip tab). Audiosnap should be unchecked.

    I'm not sure what the issue is there then unless there's some sort of compatibility issue with Win 8.

    You've bounced both clips down?

    No worries. I haven't a clue, I guess as a last depserate measure you could try re-scanning your plugins with "re-scan existing plugs checked" but I'm not sure that's how V-vocal is seen.

    Can't do any harm but the usual reasons for V-vocal being unavailable are either Audiosnap or groove clips, either of which are solved by bouncing.

    Is it all projects and clips or just this one? I suppose corruption is another possibility.

    Are you guy's sure it is a plugin cause i can not find it as a plugin, i also chk'ed the dvd for it as custom install on audio plugins but could not find it there eighter. Maybe it is buildt into sonar as a basic plugin !!, Well time to do a complete win 8 reinstall and sonar X1 install without any uppdates to see, and do 1 by 1 uppdate if it works on basic sonar install..

    No I'm not sure at all. I thought that Cronus.dll was something to do with V-Vocal. I have mine excluded as that used to be a fix for V-Vocal crashing many moons ago.

    Whether that is still the case I have no idea, but mine's still excluded, V-vocal still works, I use it all the time and I haven't had a V-vocal crash in several years.

    I'd contact support if I were you, or perhaps try uninstalling and re-installing Sonar to see if it's an install issue.

    Reinstalling Sonar always fixes the "greyed out V-Vocal" issue, I did a post about ages ago.

    V-Vocal is not a VST plug-in. It's integrated into the product.

    Hmmmm 

    Selecting the track and Bounce to Clip always works for me when it greys out.
