Karl and all, after skimming this thread I thought I'd fire up V-Vocal and see if anything had changed since the X2a patch install. As a background note, I've done the VST rescan. When I click on a short audio clip (short like 2 secs) and fire up V-Vocal, I get the V-Vocal to show up as normal, but then after like 3-4 seconds X2 crashes. I sent the error report to Cakewalk. I tried it a few times, always the same result. Now I'm stumped. I also like to use V-Vocal so I'm hoping for a solution.
