I've been using VE 500 for the last year and i must say that it's worth the money if you have an understanding of mixing, but you have to spend a lot of time learning it. It gives you 3 separate EQ sections, which is really powerful. One for the input before the compressor (for example you can apply "low cut" here), one after the compressor and one master EQ after all the effects to tailor the output sound. Reverbs and delays sound really good, but only if you apply some "hi cut" and "low cut" on them, otherwise they will sound artificial and bad in the mix.
Thank you so much for this! I got my first ever headline opportunity coming up in November and this video was so helpful for what I'm trying to do. Much love from St. Louis!
This video is awesome! Thanks for taking so much time and care in demoing what these all sound like, and I love the side by side comparison. I love the song too
Great review. On the Roland VT4, can you use reverb and delay at the same time? Also, I would love to know if it's possible to create a delay effect and adjust the feedback time to a certain bpm? If I would plug it into my stage piano, which has a master bpm, would it adjust to that? Thanks heaps!
this is such a great video - thank you for going so in depth! I've been looking for proper reviews to see functionality, and your video is BY FAR the best one - thank you
Had the ve500 and the ve22 but loved the workflow and sound of the ve22 more.. Thanks for the vid happy 2025..ps: TC helicon voicelive 3 extreme is also very good..
I’ve been using the Boss Ve22. I really appreciate the pristine quality of the reverb and delay. I occasionally chuck on another harmony or pitch correction but mostly set it up so I can mute my headset. Also lack of midi is an issue because unlike my other tech, I have to manually switch this to the right preset per song.
I have both vt4 and.e4 and I think the e4 performance very close to the vt4, I think the e4 is slightly more friendlier to live looper setup. You can have a lot of fun with just the e4 and a boss loop station
I was looking at the TC-Helicon vocal processors as well but.. The VT-4 sounds better, it also has midi in I am going to investigate using it with a midi controller
I’ve done A/B tests with the VT-4 and two TC Helicon pedals. First I tried the “Duplicator” since it had some decent reviews, but it does not have the option to select the key you’re in. Only being able to use it in chromatic mode didn’t work for me. Then I tried the “C1” since it’s been spotted on Kevin Parker’s board. It has key selection, but it stops correcting your voice as soon as you get 2” away from the mic. It’s very touchy about the strength of the signal it’s receiving. Both TC models have an always-on phantom power of 24V, which I thought was weird since the VT4 offers 48V, which is the standard as I understand it.
@@NefertitiGold The midi option is so cool, plug a midi keyboard in and you can hold up to 4 notes to create chords! Super useful and fun to play around with.
So at the risk of asking a stupid question, have you considered just using Ableton to do the vocal effects that you want to do, that way you could have them already set up with the song you are doing and have your whole set list already mapped out with all your different vocal effects that you can map to a midi controller or even just map it to your push, controller and if you are using your push to trigger song sections, like intro, verse, chorus, then you could just include your vocal effect parts in that with not much more work than you've already done. But if you are using push to trigger clips live and doing the arrangement on the fly and don't have song sections set up, you could still have a row on your Push that you set up for your vocal effects. I don't know how many different vocal effects you are trying to do in a set, but i would imagine maybe 10 or 15, you could even use another midi controller similar to push that you use just for your vocal effects and harmonies and then you can set it up and organize it to where it makes sense to you from a performance stand point. I might not initially suggest this route, but if you are already depending on a computer in your set anyways, then to me, you are already taking the risk that might sway me away from trying this route. I'm always a little weird about depending on a computer during a music set, but it's done all the time, and done well. So maybe something you could play around with. The best might even be a hybrid setup where you have some of the vox FX in Live and some on your pedal, or maybe have all of them on both, where the pedal is just a redundant version that you can move to if something seems off during a set or for any reason you need to not use Live for your vocal effects...? just my two cents on it. Live is just crazy deep when it comes to setting up stuff like this. The deeper you are willing to dig, the more it will give you. It's pretty crazy how deep Live is for performance all the way around. It's worth a shot anyways. There are these thing in Live called follow commands that if you don't already know about, you should totally check out. These allow you to tell live, after you play this loop for 8 loops, then do this....you can program how many repeats you want it to do. So if your intro has that loop playing 8 times, and then it goes to the verse for 16 bars, then stops and goes to another loop for 8 bars, you could actually program that ahead of time. A lot of people don't know about this part of Live and it's probably one of the most powerful little things that no one talks about from strictly a performance perspective. You can have multiple follow commands attached to a loop too, so you can tell it how many times to repeat with just your normal vocal, and then how many bars to switch to the FX vocal and then how many bars before you switch back to the normal vocal. if that is a little too scary to have it programmed ahead of time, because that would mean you would have to hit your changes in the same place every time (accurately, yeah i know...) , then just look at the option of triggering via a midi controller. But I will say that you will get better at it each time and eventually feel confident if you do program them ahead of time because it actually takes some of the workload (and thinking) off of you during the actual set, so that you can focus on just singing which is the most important thing to the audience. To me, I want the audience to wonder how i was doing it, i don't care if they can see me doing it in real time. Love your vibe, keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for the recommendations! I actually have performed live with Ableton Live and most recently with the Push 3 Standalone. Check this video out when you can; it’s a quick demo of my live performances ♥️ th-cam.com/users/shortsu4Z9l8dN8TY?feature=share
On the boss ve 22 you can save the presets in a favorite file in the Orlando your choice. I haven't done it but I saw someone on another channel do it.
I also recently got the Zoom V6 which came with a SGV-6 SHOTGUN powered microphone. Using the SGV-6 the harmony functions on the Ve-22 produces very accurate harmonies as compared to the Shure Sm58, although the SGV-6 captures more of the higher end of notes while the SM58 is mainly focused on the center. In my opinion the Zoom V6 gets you up and running very quickly with very good voice effects compared to the VE-22 because with the VE-22 it has a DEEP MENU system for tweaking and no joystick for quick changes. Having have these two now, I realized after comparing that the correct microphone is very important .. after all the effects is utilizing your voice frequencies and if captured incorrectly it will affect drastically the output from voice effects devices.
Did you ever try the TC Helicon Voice Life Stuff ... ? As am also searching for a solution, I would like to see a video like this comparing the voice Life devices (the small and the big one)
I am a big fan of the TC helicon effects for singers, I’m sure that for what you are trying to do they will work much better because I think I understand your mentality when it comes to affects. You want full control on stage and as little programming as you can have in advance. You are basically a performer and not a programmer. so you should give them a try they have much better algorithms as well, that is something you mentioned in your video. Overall grade work and keep it up! Also congratulations for a wonderful song.
You know that Roland and Boss are the same company right? You can research which circumstances they chose to release which products under which brand, but it hasn't been a secret in over 50 years they are the same, cool vid! Great comparison!
Have you tried out the Roland Aira E-4? It sounds like it's very similar to the VT-4, but has done additional features, like a looper. Without any ego, and the strictest modesty; I have an amazingly beautiful singing voice. I just want to fuck with it a bit to see what happens. Lol
I've owned the VT-4 for about two years now and also love the fact that it doesn't have a screen and is simple to use, but still has the effects and features that I want. I think an updated version (VT-5) would be great tho!
You said you have used your Roland in a live setting. I have the VE22 in a live setting with monitors and guitars and get a lot of feedback. Curious if you have experienced feedback issues and how you prevent.
Feedback is usually caused by improper placement of the speakers in relation to the microphone along with adjusting the mic gain levels. I haven't had any issues using the Roland live.
Yo tengo la VT-4 hace algun tiempo y es increible incluso hago hasta vocoder con su entrada midi, solo le conecto un controlador y ya esta! Lo unico por mejorar seria poder controlar los delays
i dont know if u agree, but when comin to "Harmonizer" (voicing quality/formants/tracking..) my feel is that TC helicon still stand up from the rest.. maybe i have to compare it myself if i have Boss gear (ROland not good enough for harmonize)
VT4 seems so easy compared to like Voicelive3 I’d never be able to change in real time I better like the presets near that I can pull up quickly to change vocals Love when you went deep, I gotta say WTG (what the good) you did there girl ❤️ go get yourself in more good trouble girl you got this
hm, just tested the voice live a bit in a shop, I did not get into the harmonizer really - but was not too impressed. Thought there are some videos showing off the voice live extreme and it to have seems really nice effects and harmonizer
hey hello girl great video and comparisons, I don't know what to buy, is v-22 or ve-500, but I believe the ve-500 is better for live performance but I like the v-22 that is easy to use. thanks again and greetings from mexico
I just got the Roland E4. It has no preset capability, and Roland's midi implementation is really lackluster. I liked your idea of a E5 that has taken suggestions from its users for an improved user experience.
I thought the Roland VT - 4 performance was the best. Probably other units suffered from the “fatigue” of repeating performances, but I was really “sold” on your initial performance. Sorry I’m late to review, but the other units seemed “thin.” I was looking to buy the VE- 8 or the VE- 500, and you deterred me, since your VT- 4 performance was really enjoyable. Great luck in your career!
Sound quality wise BOSS-500 excels to all competitor if you know 100% to unleashed its power - its downside is, that unit is very hard to setup... At first because THAT IS NOT A TOY.... it needs a mixing and mastering knowledge to do. It
Your passion is great! Your voice is beautiful. Why don’t you look at the Meris Mercury X. The different reverbs will really make your music pop. Guitar players are all over that pedal.
I have it, just used it for a performance over the weekend at a wedding. It's great, but complicated or complex to learn properly to leverage all of its power. I'm probably still just using 1% of its true power.
@@sigma_z I know what you mean, it has all the bells and whistles, I just dial in my tones and leave it. Just because it can, doesn’t mean you have to use it. Better to have too much power and not need it than not enough power when you do right? My philosophy.
@simonsmith2642 ha, yeah, exactly. Better be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. You never know when you might be asked something and you need to use it for a performance.
Software is critical to set up user presets, but the first time I installed the software, it killed my laptop. Like at the Bios level. Took me days to restore. Be careful, but once it’s working, it’s good.
I have the VE-22 for some time now.. here are my gripes. 1. VE-22 has no SD card to save settings , you cannot share settings over usb with other users. This is 2024 so I am really disappointed with this. 2. VE-22 has no global Key settings so every time you change settings the key defaults to factory which is C. 3. VE-22 has no autotune user settings as a convenience, you have to change the pitch correction to KEY mode and the speed to 10. 4. VE-22 Harmony seems to be purposely crippled so as not to affect sales of the VE-2 Vocal Harmonist.
I definitely hear that VE-22 sounds the best, but those controls and the absence of instrumental inputs looks kinda disappointing. And I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
### Boss VE-500 - **Sound Quality**: Known for its rich, high-quality sound with advanced harmonies and pitch correction. - **Features**: Offers a wide range of vocal effects, including vocoder, reverb, delay, and more. - **User Experience**: User-friendly interface with intuitive controls. ### Roland VT-4 - **Sound Quality**: Provides versatile and high-quality sound with a focus on vocoder and pitch correction. - **Features**: Includes classic vocoder sounds, pitch correction, and various vocal effects. - **User Experience**: Known for its robust build and reliable performance. ### Comparison - **Sound Quality**: Both are excellent, but the VE-500 might have a slight edge in terms of overall sound quality and versatility. - **Features**: The VE-500 offers more effects and customization options, while the VT-4 is more focused on vocoder and pitch correction. - **User Experience**: Both are user-friendly, but personal preference plays a big role here. Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you want a processor with a wide range of effects and customization, the **Boss VE-500** might be the better choice. If you're looking for a solid vocoder and pitch correction, the **Roland VT-4** is a great option. Do you have a particular feature or sound you're looking for in a vocal processor?
All the Boss pitch down the octave sound … not good… like there’s consistent moments of it playing the first bit of your audio normally, usually on consonants, before pitching it down, a weird watery glitch thing that the vt-4 just doesn’t do. that’s too bad I wonder if other people have that problem / if it’s voice dependent at all, but seems like it’s bad with percussive sounds. VT-4 algorithms are somehow still cleaner and better. They also just have that sound, they feel smoother, I love it. VE-500 you can get some nice polish and fx out of it but yeah they feel more so made for the gigging singer guitarist with no studio and a set set list where this effect is for this song nothing cool on the fly.
I completely agree with your conclusions. I went into this hoping to find some very alternatives, esp for how I usually plan to use it and have easy, consistent effects on the fly.
Your video was on the front page of my google search for vocal transformers btw! Thank you for making this
That’s amazing! Thanks for letting me know! I had no idea 🤩

It's a necessary item once you discover it.
Can you create presets on the VE 500 cus no TH-camr really mentions that for this model
Of course you can, you have 99 banks
Thank you. I know how much time goes into doing an in-depth review like this. Really great content

Thank you! My frames are Michael Kors 🫶🏾
I want a VT-5 and a way to find the automatic pitch choice based on the song and music that you pass through.
I was looking at the TC-Helicon vocal processors as well but.. The VT-4 sounds better, it also has midi in I am going to investigate using it with a midi controller
I might look into that one next! And I agree the VT4 is holding it down lol

Great selection of tools to compare, good job, perfectly for what I am looking 👏
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video! Workflow seems great and fun on VT4. But what about reverb and Delay on VT4? Are they good?
I personally am not a fan of the reverb and delay but it’s still usable if you need it in a pinch
Great demo very thorough. Great voice! You have a lot of talent. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Great tip on the tape for the VT-4. Thanks!

Wonder if you have an A B switch between 500 and switch to the VT4 to go deep it sounded better .. honestly
What about these compared to voicelive series?
Sounds good the way you use it. The male voice was a trip.
Thank you! ☺️
VT4 seems so easy compared to like Voicelive3 I’d never be able to change in real time I better like the presets near that I can pull up quickly to change vocals
Love when you went deep, I gotta say WTG (what the good) you did there girl ❤️ go get yourself in more good trouble girl you got this
hm, just tested the voice live a bit in a shop, I did not get into the harmonizer really - but was not too impressed.
Thought there are some videos showing off the voice live extreme and it to have seems really nice effects and harmonizer

Timer saver VE500 if going Boss and need all the stuff for gigs. All the stuff.. It is in there.. Buy used. They’re built like tanks.

I will surely buy the ve-22
Good choice!
You should a tc helicon voicelive
I have the VE-22 for some time now.. here are my gripes.
1. VE-22 has no SD card to save settings , you cannot share settings over usb with other
users. This is 2024 so I am really disappointed with this.
2. VE-22 has no global Key settings so every time you change settings the key defaults to factory which is C.
3. VE-22 has no autotune user settings as a convenience, you have to change the pitch correction to KEY mode and the speed to 10.
4. VE-22 Harmony seems to be purposely crippled so as not to affect sales of the VE-2 Vocal Harmonist.
I can agree with these points.
Srry dnt like pitch corret!
Vet 4 sounds amazing, beyond that the vet 500 was good too.
Great video and music
Thanks!
Maybe 🤔 like try a mininova with vocoder or a microkorg keyboard 🎹 might be fun
I definitely hear that VE-22 sounds the best, but those controls and the absence of instrumental inputs looks kinda disappointing. And I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Yeah I agree! Thanks for watching!
Try The TC Electronics Voice

I am glad I clicked this. Your music is great and you're singing!! Thanks
Thank you so much! That means a lot, truly 🙏🏾
All the Boss pitch down the octave sound … not good… like there’s consistent moments of it playing the first bit of your audio normally, usually on consonants, before pitching it down, a weird watery glitch thing that the vt-4 just doesn’t do. that’s too bad I wonder if other people have that problem / if it’s voice dependent at all, but seems like it’s bad with percussive sounds. VT-4 algorithms are somehow still cleaner and better. They also just have that sound, they feel smoother, I love it. VE-500 you can get some nice polish and fx out of it but yeah they feel more so made for the gigging singer guitarist with no studio and a set set list where this effect is for this song nothing cool on the fly.
I completely agree with your conclusions. I went into this hoping to find some very alternatives, esp for how I usually plan to use it and have easy, consistent effects on the fly.
Thank you sweety
very nice vocals girl. very, very nice.👍🏾
Thanks! ☺️
