V-Vocal crashes far more with 2018.08
With my system V-Vocal crashes far more with 2018.08 than 2018.07 and 2018.09 build 29. Fortunately this is fixed in 2018.09. I've learned how to very quickly switch between versions to compare things and found this was true.

So don't use 2018-08. Of course, V-Vocal has never been known stability and it has been years since the last update from Roland. Maybe time to retire the plug-in.

Not true. Many people continue to use it and have never experienced major issues with it. I don't believe it has been the subject of more problem reports than any other feature in SONAR/Cakewalk. That said, everything else you said is on point.

Actually, scook's assertion is demonstrably true via a Google search. V-Vocal definitely has had its issues. You are correct in saying that not everyone experienced them, though. But even if their frequency has been no worse than average, the main risk today is that nobody at Cakewalk has its source code and Roland does not support it. Consequently, fixes are not possible.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

*sigh*. I know, I'm just in denial. I love V-Vocal and never had any issues with it. Even with CbB.

I use V-Vocal because I haven't had the wherewithal to invest in a greater melodyne than essential which can't do much. I've learned to cut and pre bounce the section I intend on working on in order to avoid those cronus.dll crashes.
Viva La V-Vocal!!

And more power to ya. If it works, it works. I didn't want to let go of V-Vocal, either. I had invested a lot of time and experimentation figuring out how to make it work well. What pushed me to Melodyne was the Studio edition's ability to edit multiple tracks at once, making harmonies easier to treat as a section rather than as individual parts. I'm a big fan of 3-, 4- and 5-part harmonies, which often resulted in having 3, 4, or 5 V-Vocal windows open at once. With Melodyne Studio I've edited as many as 8 parts as a group. Having them stacked on the same display makes it much easier to adjust timing, as well as to spot conflicts. Of course, that step did require a significant investment in buying Studio, which IIRC was around 400 bucks at the time (not counting three subsequent paid upgrades). It was a leap of faith, but I haven't regretted it. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Haven't used it much lately but V-Vocal has it's uses where Melodyne falls short and I've never had any major issues with it, unlike other features.

No issues? Is that because you use it on small 1-2 bar clips, then bounce to clip, and have no soft synths connected, which takes up memory? Or can you do whatever you want and not the things I mentioned. Do you ever have crashes? Or get blank windows with no waveforms or a waveform that sounds and looks like noise? Currently I can use it for about maybe 30 min and get a crash or blank window, but then all I have to do is double click on the CWP file and I'm up and running in about 10 sec since I have a SSD HD. So I can deal with that, yet 2018.08 which I started this thread with crashed significantly more often Which version of CbB are you using?

My comment was more of a response to "time to quit using it'. V-Vocal was never that great at handling large clips and especially complete mixdowns. BUT... it does work good on small individual track clips. I haven't used it in 2018.08 so I can't speak to that part.

Everyone has already chimed in, and I don't even use BandSlab by Snakewalk (sticking with splat for as long as possible), but please we're talking about a plug that has been around since version 6 at least. So over 10 years old. Of course this plug will cause issues...it wasn't a very stable plug in the first place...so combine that with the plugs age and it = trouble. Depending on what you use it for, Wave's has an excellent vocal tuner that if you keep your eyes open will only cost 30 bucks. If you're more after an effect ala Believe...then stump up for the basic Melodyne which is about 90 dollars, but correct me if I'm wrong.

So you're saying that software becomes less reliable with age? While that's true of yogurt and human body parts, it fortunately does not generally apply to software.

I use V-Vocal a lot and only on short clips, and usually bounce. It's always been stable for me.

Hehehe, when it comes to aging, I'm not sure what I'm more concerned about: yogurt or body parts . . .  Cheers

You don't get crashes or an occasional blank window? I think the crashes are related to RAM used. The more soft synths loaded the more RAM used, so if you disconnect the memory hogs that makes a big difference in my system. If you're not getting crashes, what is your RAM usage, you can see it in Task Manager / performance / memory.

I don't remember, and no longer have V-V on my machine...was there a 64-bit version of V-Vocal?
