When is V-Vocal going to stop crashing X1 -X2

Oh, V-Vocal works perfectly here in X1 and X2

Chregg, I've been using multiple instances of V-V since version 6PE without a problem.

And I'm not talking 1 or 2 - I've had as many as 60/70 all live without issue

So it's not just me then 


I was doing this on my old DAW (Q6700 under Win XP32 with 2Gb RAM)

Yep - I had huge issues with VV.  When I went to X2 I uninstalled everything, including all the previous versions of Sonar, and it now seems to be working ok.  It was working for a while in 8.5, but once it went that was it - crash everytime it was invoked.

I only use it now on small (1 possibly 2) bars, and complete the whole thing, including bouncing to clip and then removing the original (the clips sit on top of eachother) before starting another instance.  And these are not large projects.

I know there are people who seem to have little issue, and right now it's working for me.  However, I would maintain that V-V flies pretty close to the edge, and it doesn't take a lot to make it fail.

Has never worked for me in X1 nor X2.
 
had a CWBRN 'submitted to development' after CW were able to replicate my problems.
that was months (if not years) ago.
 
I suggest the OP submits a report too.
 

It's definitely an issue.  Has crashed for me on 3 separate pc's and 2 different operating systems through the years. You can't leave v-vocal live on a clip - you've got to get out and bounce it right away.  I almost never have a problem if I do that.  The last time it crashed was about a month ago - it started crashing every time I opened it.  After a re-boot the problem went away.  It is a temperamental plug-in and when it starts acting up it is very difficult to figure out why.

Some people I guess never have a problem, but I've seen complaints about it over the years to realize it is not just me or my pc setup.

Several years of using VVocal from Sonar 8.5 to X2 and it still crashes repeatedly.  Two different computer set ups, same issues.  Even bouncing down immediately after fixing a clip is not reliable, because it will simply crash when you insert it.

Sometimes I have had luck importing the problem vocal files into a blank project and fixing them there.  Not ideal, but you know, desperate times, desperate measures..

bigboi


i can only think that cakewalk is not fixing it becauae they plan to move on to Melodyne intergration, like Studi One (brilliantly done btw, i use it frequently)

That would be great.  I still use VV even with intermitent crashes because 1) I don't use vocal correction that much, and 2) I love the way it is integrated into Sonar - just a Shift+V and it opens.  I'm not sure how melodyne works, but if I had to insert it as an effect to each track that is needed, it would be too much of a hassle.  Is that the way it works? 
 
My theory on why they don't fix it is that this I beleive it was written by Roland with different developers, probably in a different country and with possibly different programming language.  It is very complex programming and Cake probably says "We aren't going to touch that code".  Roland may not even give Cakewalk access to the code.  I may be totally wrong though....

Absolutely correct - it's not Cakewalk's code, it's based on Roland's Variphrase technology.  And even though Cakewalk is technically Roland, I would think there are years and years worth of code that neither would be able to modify from the other.
 

never ;)
