Just installed the current Windows version. I get this error every time I try to use the Vocal Remover plugin. Happens when I choose a small selection or a big selection.

Sorry, meant to say I’m using “Isolate Vocals” specifically, within that one plugin.

I can confirm that “Isolate Vocals” is not working properly in 3.0.0. This is a regression from 2.4.2. For me, it simply doesn’t do anything, and there is no Undo information saved.

4

I confirm that too (on W10), thanks John.

In fact the only one that appears to work in 3.0.0 and alpha test 3.0.1 is the Remove Vocals to Mono

I’ll be logging this regression bug shortly.

Peter.

Top Tip: I have one very useful file which is mastered in such a way that VR&I actually does some serious removal or isolation and that’s Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire.

Perhaps you Windows guys could also check out this topic: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/bug-in-vocal-reduction-and-isolation/60809/1
I’ve included some sample files for testing in that topic.

Vocal Reduction and Isolation most options fail

Great catch supallcomm - many thanks for the report, much appreciated :slight_smile: :sunglasses:

This appears to be exactly the same issue as this thread.

I have added a link there to this thread - and a link to thhe bug

This apperas to be a Windows-only bug - Steve tested this as OK on Linux and then tested it as OK on Mac.

It’s an overflow problem in 32-bit builds. It will be fixed in the next Audacity release.
If anyone desperately needs this effect, please say so and I’ll make a temporary fix to tie you over until the next release.

I’m having this problem too.
I’m on Windows 10 Pro.
Only “Remove vocals to Mono” is working. None of the other options (Remove vocals, isolate vocals etc) are working. When clicking “OK” after setting those options, the window plugin closes and nothing happens. I mainly use this ny plugin, so this version is practically useless for me.
I’ll be going back to the previous ver.

This is a known bug that has already been fixed fir the upcoming 3.0.1.

Same for me Windows 10 pro…however about a month ago I completely wiped my computer and redownloaded Audacity. Before I did that the vocal removal worked fine. And…I just looked it up, the newest version released on March 17…so the bug is just in this latest release…so is there an approximate date for when 3.0.1 will be released?

3.0.2 was released last week.
