Hey Zsaris! What's up? I just had to drop a comment on your video because it was absolutely awesome! Your presentation was so much fun to watch, and I want to thank you for that. I loved how you explained the various functions in such a clear and exaggerated way. It made it super easy for someone like me, who isn't very tech-savvy, to follow along and understand. Your knack for breaking things down for us laypersons is truly impressive. I have to admit, I was dying to hear you perform more of those effects in a creative way. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Your artistic passion and enjoyment for what you do really shine through and resonate with the audience. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'll be eagerly waiting for more of your awesome productions! Greetings from Cape Town-
A really great, upbeat presentation. Comprehensive, enthusiastic and informative. This lady is a great presenter and has a really nice singing voice. The one or two trolls on here need to grow up and get a life. I found this demo very useful. Thank you and all the best.
Great presentation! I’m no singer or anything like that, just watching NAMM-related stuff but …dang: short and well spoken! Not like there are any huge errors but it’s great seeing a singer being human and having fun with gadget and being a human. Well done!
Thanks for the video.I have a question for you, I notice you were using a wooden table part of the video, and a mike stand shelf as well , Did you have problems with the mike stand shelf, or was it an upgrade after using he table ? Thanks.
Oh it's just a better angle to shoot from using the chair. The mic stand shelf is good for performances and make sure you use the L-type cables to make sure the VE-22 fits well. The stand blocks the cables with straight heads. Something to take note.
@@DianaRios-xf2rs there are many reverb effects on the presets that you can freely tweak to your liking. Or if you want to build from default, you can fix that from the settings menu.
Could you please clarify why the lack of automatic harmony detection with piano or guitar is considered a downside? I'm new to this and trying to figure out if it’s still worth purchasing. I plan to use my piano and acoustic guitar with a Loudbox Mini amp while incorporating a vocal processor for live performances with friends. Would the inability to set the key automatically from my instruments be a significant limitation when playing guitar or piano, or would the vocal harmony features still be sufficient for my needs? Thanks in advance!
@@lasolution365 from my experience using both machines that follows harmony and a dedicated vocal machine, it will always depend on what kind of performance you usually do. VE-22 is more for vocalists, and it's beefed up on effects and versatility for vocal processing. Which also explains why it's better operated by hand. VE-2 with harmony can be perfect for guitarists, I operate this by foot and the harmonies are dictated by the chords i produce in my guitar. Downside is, it sometimes don't blend when it's done on the fly. Though really handy for performance. Good thing about VE-22 even without the harmony detection is the harmonies are clean, with dedicated volume and key assignment per harmony. You won't worry about messing it up. It's just a matter of planning when to trigger your presets at dedicated parts of the song.
Can I customize the harmony footswitch? I can see I can assign the effect mode instead of the harmony mode. However, it seems to be not possible to use more than one effect of the same group. For example, I want a distortion on footswitch 1, a short delay in footswitch 2 and a hall reverb on footswitch 3. Distortion and short delay they both belong to the category "effect" of the Boss VE-22.
You can toggle Harmony on the menu Memory Pedal, Manual Pedal, and CTL 1, 2, EXP Best if you save your patches in sequence instead and activate the harmony and effect when you toggle it on your footswitch. Assign it to Memory Pedal.
Yes both the voicelive touch and the voicelive 3. But I went with BOSS because I do live looping more organically. When I got the VE-2 eventually, it was between sounding more human than electronic. VE-22 is the beefed up best of both. But I will use the VE-22 as supplement to my vocals instead of having a one machine fits all thing like my RC-505mk2.
Very well presented, but the device has one glaring omission to make it easily usable to singers who play guitar: an input and thru out for guitar. Lacking that, the unit needs you to set the key for every song in advance. With auto recognition via the guitar, it would be far more intuitive to use.
@@zsaris Thank you for your time in responding. Yes, the VE-2 definitely offers the guitar input, and indeed I own a VE-2 (and also a Boss VE-500). But when I heard about this new unit, I was excited, thinking perhaps Boss had improved on either the VE-2 or the VE-500, maybe with better harmony algorithms, greater processing power or a more streamlined user interface. Well, it seems they did improve on a lot of that, but why they decided to ignore guitar players who also sing, and make everyone set the key for their songs in advance, is a riddle to me. Phrased differently: How well does the device work at generating good harmonies if the singer fails to set the key of the song?
@@BadMofoMusicCritic Yes, I agree about not sending my guitar through a buffered pedal. But is the VE-2 buffered or true bypass? Either way, I feed my VE-2 and VE-500 with a separate (split) signal which dead-ends at the harmony pedal. I send the other split signal through my high-end effects. Problem solved.
@@scottbecker3485 VE-22 is more customizable for harmonies. With the VE-2, it relies on the notes that you play on the guitar and most of the time it's not accurate. Especially with the uncommon harmonies like a 4 and 6 instead of the usual 3 and 5. The VE-22 allows you to tweak and adjust how loud each harmony is. It blends better.
I appreciate this thank you! Yes it does have hi octave and low octave. You can triple octave if you want too. And of course blend everything in as you please ☺️
@@happyframeph It's not supposed to work like that, you need to have an interface to convert the signal for your phone. If you want a direct to phone experience, try getting yourself a Go:Mixer Pro-X
How to compare this Boss V-22 to the V-2 and how to compare them both to the TC_Helicon Voice Live Touch 2 which is amazing but ten years old now.... What is worth now in 2024 to compare this Boss VE 22 to? Are these full sound interfaces that can take the phantom power needed for mics like the Shure SM 7 B with a Fethead? Thanks to anyone who really tested looping and recording with all of these and can advice me of quality differences and worth of price for what one gets as a singer and voice-over actor!
To make it short, VE-22 is just for vocals, VE-2 has a guitar input that follows the harmonies of your chords. Voice Live Touch is great but I think they haven't been updating their line now. VE-22 has more updated sounds and more customizable compared to the former BOSS vocal processing pedals I've tried. It has phantom power, yes. I tried it with a RODE condenser mic and it works. For singing and voice acting, VE-22 is a one-stop shop. I've enjoyed using the octaves and the weird patches like Haunted and Cave and Snowy
@@zsaris Thanks for answering so quickly will a Y mic connector cable work in order to connect two mics? Also my real question would be that the effects on the VE22 will only apply to one singer?? From what I have viewd so far on YT videos is that the vocal effects are shown for only one singer. Can the effects be used for two or more singers? i'm Confused!! lol any advise will be greatly appreciated. i ordered this one for a fiiend who sings and he wants to use it for him and his son singing together like one singing first voice and one harmony
@@konjunto2477 i think it will work best one machine for one singer only. It only has one XLR input anyway. Get all of your vocalists one unit each and play around!
Looks and sounds good to me, but ....... ....... pitch correct sounds as horrible as ever, no matter the device/ effects processor, no matter the Brand!
@@zsaris Well, perhaps you are right, maybe not 🤔? When I first noticed that effect listening to Cher`s song "Believe", I thought it was really cool, but then, it got used so incredibly inflationary, that made me almost hate that effect! If too little is bad, so is too much! This is what makes me feel: Too many, too much too often! Too often, too many, too much! Too much, too often, too many!
Sadly i had to return mine. I bought the VE-22 to replace my Tc Helicon Voice Live and what a disappointment. First, the lack of a PC editor and the option to BACKUP YOUR OWN PRESETS!!! I can't believe that a product from 2024 doesn't do that. Even the cheap chinese pedals allow to save a copy of your presets on an external device.
@@zsarisWell in that case, you should clearly state it’s sponsored at the start of the video, to make people aware that you are being paid. It’s all about being transparent with your audience, and in this instance you were not. This is no way to try to build your TH-cam channel.
What is wrong with you? She’s trying to help people understand the machine from her place on the stage. Just because she didn’t come on bleating “hi guys!!!” and acting like other youtube cheese balls, doesn’t make it a bad video. She did a good job. Take your meanness elsewhere
