[IS NOW] VocalSync Not Working In CbB?

[sjoens]

(I'm duping this Q here as I got no response in the Q&A forum.)

 

It seems to work in SPLAT (tho the editor disappears as soon as it opens).

I follow the online directions. I watch the videos. But all I get is a dead VS Editor that does nothing.

After selecting a track and creating the region FX, the Editor dial opens but instead of the track name at the top, it says <Select Guide> and the dropdown is defunct.

The clip turns gray and says "Vocalsync" in the name but it isn't split in half like the pictures show.

If I click anywhere away from the editor, it disappears.

The online doc says "Right-click the desired guide track and select Set as Default VocalSync Guide Track on the pop-up menu."  but there is no such selection in the pop up menu.

Is something wrong with CbB's VS here?

You need to have another audio track to use as a guide track. If you don't have any other audio tracks the dropdown to select the guide track will be empty.

I just tried it here and it works fine in CbB. Can you list the exact steps you are doing or post a video?

Thanks Noel. I have several audio tracks. I opened the same project in Sonar PLAT and it worked, except that it disappears after opening. In CbB it opens and stays open but doesn't work at all. It could be hanging at the opening point for some reason.

Mysteriously working now. Can't say why it didn't work before but it still disappears after opening. I have to double click the clip again to reopen it. Is that normal?

I also notice  you can't select a frozen or bounced softsynth clip, only real audio clips appear in the dropdown.

The drop-down shows audio track names not clips..

In other words, bounced softsynth audio doesn't count as an audio track. If one was to use it they'd have to record the audio onto an audio track.

Try CTRL + SHIFT + dragging the bounced audio on to a fresh audio track.

No its not normal but it is common and still happens to me once in a while. Im just taking a wild guess here but...Are you using old Project templates created in Sonar ?

[sjoens]

Hi, older Sonar project but I don't use templates. FWIW, it disappears every time in Sonar & CbB.

@msmcleod Good idea. Forgot about that one.
