V-Vocal clips (Producer and Studio only)
Mixing
SONAR copies the selected audio data, inserts an instance of V-Vocal on the copied data, and
displays the new V-Vocal clip (the copied audio data that contains an instance of V-Vocal) where the
selected audio data was, and opens the V-Vocal interface. The V-Vocal icon appears on the
V-Vocal clip. The original audio data is muted. No track data is moved or otherwise modified by
creating a V-Vocal clip. You can drag the V-Vocal clip away from the original audio data if you want.
To open a V-Vocal interface
• If the V-Vocal interface of the clip you want to edit is not open, right-click the V-Vocal clip and
choose V-Vocal > V-Vocal Editor from the Clips pane pop-up menu. You can also double-click
the V-Vocal clip or press SHIFT+V.
To move, edit, or copy a V-Vocal clip
• Use standard editing commands (nudge, drag-and-drop, slip-edit, etc.) to move, edit, or copy the
clip. When you move a V-Vocal clip, the original audio clip is revealed underneath it. You can
unmute the original clip by using the Mute tool. You can also or create your own key binding to
launch the V-Vocal editor.
To bypass or unbypass a single V-Vocal clip
• Right-click the V-Vocal clip and choose V-Vocal > Bypass/Unbypass from the Clips pane pop-up
menu.
When you bypass a V-Vocal clip, you hear the original audio data that makes up the V-Vocal clip
without hearing any V-Vocal processing. When Bypass is enabled, the Bypass button in the
V-Vocal interface appears red.
To bypass or unbypass all V-Vocal clips in a track
• Right-click a V-Vocal clip and choose V-Vocal > Bypass All V-Vocal Clips from the Clips pane
pop-up menu.
To delete a V-Vocal clip
• Select a V-Vocal clip (the green clip with the V-Vocal icon, not the original audio clip) and use the
Edit > Delete command, or press DELETE on your keyboard.
Note: Offline processing commands such as Process > Apply Effect > Normalize and
Process > Apply Effect > Gain do not work on a V-Vocal clip.
Note: V-Vocal commands can also be accessed by clicking the V icon in the V-Vocal clip .
