I will not be switching over to Melodyne in the near future and I think it is a real pity that by now V-vocal has not been developed to include the smart tools and smart grid areas of Sonar.

Instead of saying what everyone else is using perhaps you should try actually using these programs on daily basis then you might sing a different tune. Those seem to be the choices, enjoy, Bob Bone RexRed Alex, Melodyne is an industry fad.
It would have been nice if Cakewalk's transient markers had been added to V-vocal and also Cakewalks quantize features. And there are things v-vocal does that melodyne does not, not even the pro version. Thanks to endorsements from the likes of T-Pain, Kanye West and Lil Wayne, Antares Auto-Tune is now the only pitch correction plug-in in town as far as many people are concerned. I suspect that people at Cakewalk development have just not spent much time in V-vocal editing , if they had spent time editing in V-vocal, as I have perhaps easily over a thousand hours in the program, they would never have even for a moment considered not including it in Sonar X3 and all subsequent versions of Cakewalk. See I told you so. One would assume that Roland would have given it to Cakewalk as part of the deal with Gibson if it was that simple.
The problem with Melodyne is that it is so simple to use people avoid learning about how to make fine adjustments which does take training. It got halfway across and froze. This new version represents a logical evolution from version 6, and the company has done a good job of making a deep program easy to get around. Whilst you are at it get them to fix all the bugs very good at crashing projects. Where in melodyne I did not know where to begin to bring the life back into my track.
Cakewalk by BandLab is free. I also checked after the crash, the other night to see if it was updated and it is.

According to both companies, this will mark an expansion of their strategic alliance that has been ongoing for a number of years. Our favourite new plug-in is probably the relatively simple Boost 11 Peak Limiter.
Add in that it's just simpler to use overall. You can buy it on its own, or as part of the Vocal Bundle. The odd thing about this lock up is that I out of a knee jerk reaction hit ctrl S That is the hotkey for saving the project in case you did not know.

My Sonar is a fairly stable installation. Okay CakeAlex I was using master tracks for a Commodore 64. I have used melodyne, I have spent quite a few hours learning the ins and outs of Melodyne. My music would totally suffer without V-vocal, V-vocal preserves my music's fidelity while offering powerful, accurate and a quick full range of easy to use editing tools. Because this tool is completely non-destructive, you can simply drag over the top portion of the waveform to un-mute it. Personally I think V-Vocal sucks and Melodyne trashes all over it, especially the editor version, but that's just my own opinion.
