Hello fellow Cubasers
Recently upgraded to Revoice Pro 5, and while it’s great to have it working again after version 3 stopped working on Apple Silicon, I am finding a few issues that are making it impossible to use. When using it via the ARA extension “RevoiceProLink” (not vst3) in Cubase 14, I can get the audio into the Revoice window, edit it fine, and I hear the results in Cubase playback. However:
- The sync does not work properly - The playhead in Revoice does not move with Cubase’s playback. The only time the Revoice playhead acknowledges Cubase’s transport is when you play, and then stop in Cubase. Only then will the playhead in Revoice jump to roughly where Cubase was paused.
- Revoice generates a temp file every minute, and fills up the hard disk with hundreds of temp files, which then leads it to crash and corrupt itself. I can’t seem to turn this off. Didnt know why my disk was suddenly completely full until Disk Inventory X showed me a few hundred gigs worth of Revoice temp files in a hidden folder.
- When it crashes, it loses its connection to Cubase ARA: the edits are no longer audible, and if I open Revoice via the ARA extension window, it opens a blank unedited session. It will also open the previous correct edited session in the background, however I can’t get it to reconnect to ARA. If I close the blank one, Cubase just re-opens another blank one. If I load a cubase save or autosave from before the crash, the same blank window pops up. Therefore unless I export the audio out of this now orphaned Revoice project, those edits are essentially gone from ARA forever.
- If I interact in any way with the region in Cubase that Revoice is using, then the connection also breaks forever. Cutting, moving, even just dropping another audio file after it on the same Cubase track breaks it. Blank window starts popping up in front of the correct one. This issue is the same when using the VocalignPro ARA extension, and i read about this happening with all sorts of ARA extensions.
I was recommended to try it in Cubase 13 but the same issues happen. Seems like it doesnt take much at all for Cubase to forget about Revoice, and Revoice to forget about Cubase.
Surprised to see not many other people dealing with these issues elsewhere, other than the classic interracting with a region breaking ARA connection bug.
Is this happening for anyone else?
Is there any way to restore/reconnect the original Revoice ARA session?
Is there a way to make the playback sync work properly?
How can we stop the incessant temp files??
Is this an issue with ARA, Cubase, or Revoice?
Don’t get me wrong, its fantastic when it works, and sounds excellent, but so far, a few hundred bucks just to waste several hours to losing edits and troubleshooting is not ideal
