glrecordings


Update....
I was assured again yesterday that the dev team is actively working on a fix.

Now THAT is good news.

Very odd.

I know this isn't what you or glrecordings want to hear, but last night after applying V/V to a vocal track I then started to automate the volume at track level.

Went flawlessly.

One slightly different approach is that I didn't record my automation, I went in and drew it by hand.

Don't know if this is a pointer or not, but try it the other way and see what happens.

I have used V-Vocal for the first time "ever" today and within 5 minutes of use, it crashed Sonar.  So far it has crashed Sonar 3 times. I went to search this forum for an answer and found this thread. So far it seems that enabling in Plug-ins is working.

Still...I am not happy that I risk the loss of data because of something like this. I can't imagine how upset I would be if my song got corrupted...I would be pretty mad and for a long time. I have Italian Alzheimer's (I never forget) :)
 
I work endlessly on my music, also on trying to learn as much about Sonar as possible.  I expect the software I use to perform without this type of a hitch. 

As a customer I should never be put in the position that I have to fix it after I have a problem. I think Sonar is excellent and most of my issues are self-inflicted but there is no excuse for this. 
Oh...also...Solo and Mute do not work in V-Vocal for me. Any ideas?

OK...crashed again after enabling in plug-in. Worked for about 2 vocal tracks and crashed while working on harmony track.
 
So this doesn't work for me.

What version of Sonar?  There were updates to v-vocal in the last few updates.

Version 8.5.3
  
 

glrecordings: It is not unreasonable to expect something you payed for (possibly more than once) to work correctly.

I hope your efforts will help the rest of us that aren't as gutsy!

How about sharing said fix via PM?  

I know the reason why Tech Support don't want this posting in a public forum, they don't want people with non-legitimate copies of the software benefitting from the support given to those of us who are registered users. I am happy to go along with that policy, so if you want to know about the fix, I'd respectfully suggest you contact Tech Support and ask them for the procedure. By PM-ing you with the fix, I'd be disclosing information given to me in a confidential e-mail.

You're 100% right. For some reason the ideas of pirates escaped me for a moment. 
I'll get in touch with TS. Thanks, for letting us know there is a solution Sir!

Have you tried the workflow I posted very early on in this thread?
(http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2082915)
Several people have found it eliminates crashes and corruptions.
 

Wow, I thought this forum was going to be boring!!!!!!

i never use it, but i'd be grateful if it didn't crash if/when i do

Hi, Pwal - Don't assume it will crash if you want to use it sometime.  It appears to me that the main reason people have crashing problems is when they work on huge chunks of a project at a time, and maybe try to never bounce to a clip.  I use it sparingly, but not gingerly - I get an instance going, fix what I need, and then bounce to clip, as I said before.

Something I wanted to pass on to you, since you said you never use it, is that V-Vocal can help with instrument tracks too.  If you've ever found yourself reaching for the Cakewalk pitch shift tool, and gritting your teeth all through the process of trying to use it - V-Vocal is what completely replaces the need for the much more primitive shift tool.  I corrected the pitch of some instruments recently, the results are seamless.  And shifting things in time is much more successful and intuitive to do than in Audio Snap.  --I'm just saying V-Vocal can be of major help.

V-vocal consistently works great for me.  I work with small bits at a time, a measure or two, when I like the results, I bounce to clip.  The plug-in's work is over and it's gone.  NP.

I'm unable to get that far with small clips. If there's more than one clip per v-vocal track, it crashes sooner :(


Thanks, rbowser!

Not in my case, Randy, and some others too probably. Sonar would crash as soon as I tried to Create V-Vocal Clip. I purposely chose an audio track that I had spilt into a very short length, right clicked the clip and... Kerrash.

Keep in mind that a 3 minute long clip split in to smaller chunks, or that has had the edges dragged in so it's only a 10 second clip, is still a 3 minute long clip as far as Sonar is concerned until you click 'Apply Trimming'.

Another thing to try is, raise your audio card buffers. Once you are done recording and are in the editing/mixing stage, latency is not an issue any more and raising audio card buffers can correct a lot of different problems and decreases the load on your CPU.

Bub, you make a VERY valid point there. But, I'd like to see your point and raise you: When I was using S5 I never ever, not at any time had crashes with V-Vocal. Not once, not even half of once.

Ok, I'll call you then ...

... load S5 along side your current version ... problem solved.

If pot size is based on thread length, I'd say I just won a bundle!

Bub, my crashing problem was eventually solved after contacting Tech Support.
BitFlipper, no I haven't done that. If it's still on my PC, do you know where I would find it?
