V-Vocal problem.

no I haven't, nor have I used vv extensively.
have you deleted the first instances of VV?
I would open track layers and delete them. (sometimes/ most-times , for me this leaves the original vocal muted, un-mute them and rebuild the layers) then try it again. sorry I don't have anymore suggestions for you bub.

Lynn - I don't think Bub is able to even do any editing so bouncing the clip won't matter at this point. Unless you are suggesting he open it in 8.5 and bounce the clip down there so V-Vocal isn't required in X1 :)

Bub: I can see you tried it on different clips, but have you tried it on a new (different) project in X1? Can you create a new project and just import a clip and see if it works fresh? That could determine if it's a V-Vocal issue, or a project related issue.

I'm using X1 x86 and although I use Melodyne most of the time, I did try V-Vocal and it seemed to be fine. All I remember most about V-Vocal is you need to bounce it once your editing is done - or you "may" lose all your hard work.
 
 

I use V-Vocal quite a lot. I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't get problems with it.

I can't say I've used the combination that you have though so that might be an issue/cause. I never started any projects in 8.5, mainly because I took the upgrade offer. I have edited 8.3 projects in 8.5 and now X1 without v-vocal problems (or that one anyway).

I've been on x64 both OS & Sonar since 8.3. I've never tried opening a x64 project in x32 environment.

I know that's not much help, just reporting my experience with the x64/x32 side of it in case that's a contributing factor.

One problem I do have in X1 with V-vocal, is if I open a project with an active instance of V-Vocal in it I have to make sure all other projects are closed. If not V-Vocal flatlines the active affected track and no audio is heard. I've not had any 'terrible phasing' issues. More the odd glitch if I get too extreme with it.

  I didn't make any changed to VV, it's at default settings.


Bub, one of the tricks to using V-Vocal successfully is turning the "pitch follow" dial from 100 (which is the default) to 0.  I've found this eliminates that phasey sound some people get.  And, it's been recommended many times to bounce to clips once you're satisfied with your edits.  For the record, I find that V-Vocal is as good as any pitch correction software when used in this manner.  Hope this helps in the future.
