When I open my x2 v-vocal is there but not in x3. I would have though it would find it if earlier versions are already installed. How do I get my v-vocal to show up in x3

Make sure Sonar is scanning the correct directory to find VVocal.
 
The .dll is called Cronus.dll, and by default is in C:ProgramFiles/Cakewalk/SharedDXi/VVocal
 
To access it , Right click on a clip and choose "Region FX - VVocal , or select a clip and choose VVocal from the Region X menu in the track view.
 
HTH.

There is nothing to scan, V-Vocal is a DX effect. If it is visible in X2 on the same machine, it should be available as a Region FX in X3.

Right VVocal is not included in X3. If you want to continue using it you need X2 installed on the SAME system.
