    I have been looking for a high quality vocal processor. That gives the singer some control over how effects are used on their vocals. I have watch many videos for vocal processors and most are very dreadful. This one really does the job, I got to see and hear how it will sound if used in stereo. How to only activate the harmonies when you want them on certain parts, which gives a more realistic approach to how vocals sound with harmonies. On certain phrases and not always on which sounds unnatural. When I look at demos, I want to see them used in the application it was designed for. Great job. I think it is great it has a library of fx based on popular songs. Whether you use it or not it can be very useful for a cover band, plus the fx are studio quality.

    Just got one of these for my singer. The best thing so far is that we dont have to rely on a lazy soundman to switch the vocal effects. The singer can dial in the entire set and control all the effects himself. Great product!

    Hi Jeff,
    If you have audio coming in via the Aux-In or USB or you've got the RoomSense mics set to Ambient/Auto, with the Harmony set to Auto, the Play will figure out the Key for you. It's more accurate via Aux or USB, but works well with RoomSense, depending on how close it is to a chordal instrument.

    Hey thanks for sharing these videos! I just bought one of this units at Guitar Center and it really has improved my vocal abilities! I am new at TC Helicon products.The efxs are great and very easy to use, custom-Editing programming is a piece of cake!There are a few things which will make this unit better such as having an On/Off switch rather than having to unplugging The power each time and perhaps adding 1/4 phono plugs outputs, the XLR stereo outs are fine but since i too intended on using it for recording purposes usually computer sound cards are not compatible With XLR connectors...So i had no other option than to run to Radio Shack to get all that i needed to make my own cables.Other than that is a great vocals investment. I am working on a new álbum and all vocals will have the use of this unit.

    • @tchelicon
      @tchelicon  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Exavier, glad to have you aboard!
      The unit is designed to be unplugged so that's why we don't have a switch.
      Our units are typically geared towards connecting to pro audio gear that very rarely uses phono connections. Those are unbalanced and pretty easy to get signal noise. I'd suggest using USB if you don't have an audio interface. Here's a video on that:

    Hey - I use the voicelive play for industrial/rock and electronic stuff. It's very adaptable. The effects are also very easy to edit so you can set up the fx blocks to suit your own taste. Might be helpful if TC featured different singers showcasing what it can do though... :)

    I think it's on the 2nd 3rd video too that you can set - say your reverb, or your main voice to have distortion after "X" gain level. So if you want clean while you're singing one part, say a softer type verse, but as you start to get louder, like in the chorus or bridge it will add the distortion so you can still save your Hit for something else like duplicator or the bullhorny/telephone sound

    Hey, the VoiceLive Play is specifically targeted at people who are new to effects. At the same time it has enough options for the power user, to which you seem to belong. You always have the option to remove the song/artist presets manually. Also, hooking it up to VoiceSupport will allow you to import hundreds of new presets to chnage things up! :-)

    If I remember correctly from the other vids I've watched Rock and metal are two of the Genres they have presets for, You've got your distortion and everything else too. One of the demos showed the "enter sandman" setting which was pretty cool. They made it so you can use it for anything.

    Hi MrMissingClue,
    The practice mode isn't looking at a particular key, just how close you are to each individual note. The accuracy score you see is the "total" of all the notes you've sung and the displayed percentage is an average of those notes. Hope that makes sense!

  • @smileynoreally
    @smileynoreally 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi! Does this have a tone button or tone effect like the Perform V and other TC-Helicon products so that my voice can be compressed and EQ'd? The effects offered in this unit interest me but I am also looking at the TC Helicon Perform V. I like the idea of the perform V because it has a tone button which seems give you a nice crisp studio sound and a separate talk button (I rap so I want to easily be able to perform with no effects from time to time). Also outside of a bit of auto tune, all I really need is reverb and delay or double, another reason why the perform V interests me since I think I will have all my bases covered there.
    I am a hip-hop artist doing many lives shows and the biggest point of feedback that I have received is that my vocals sound dry. I don't have the luxury of having an engineer setting up my sound so I want to come to my shows with this already figured out which is why I am interested in this product.

  • @HeithinnGydja
    @HeithinnGydja 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It has internal mics to listen to what your guitar (or any ambient sound) is playing without having to plug it in. So if you're at practice or live, it listens to what everyone is playing - which everyone SHOULD be playing in the same key (do not confuse key with note). It figures what key you are in automatically without the need for an "alternative external input" telling it what key it should be in. There is also the option to set the key manually.

      I have a couple Acoustic Plays and my drummer has bought Voicelive Play to sing through. We like to set the keys to stick to a patch (C Maj2) for example, which in the Acoustic Plays seems to save just fine, but with the Voicelive Plays we can't seem to get this to stick. For example, we have set the up/down functionality to 'set key' which it allows, but each time we access it again, its picked some random key and maj/min variant, even when we haven't changed the patch. Any ideas on how to lock the key?

    Did you try a cable that goes 1/4male to 1/8male to run from an out the board - or last monitor to the aux in for the iPods and such? I know no one needs more chords hanging around the stage, but it may be a better alternative to the GTX if you like this particular pedal better. The GTX has the inputs for the guitar but I don't think it has all the other cool things you can do due to the internal mics, like practice with no mic, etc.

      Nice! If you play guitar, you might want to consider a Play Electric. Even if you don't use the onboard guitar effects, the In/Thru can go to your amp/pedals. The benefit is that you'll capture the guitar chords to generate harmony without having to set key/scale.

    HI Poppa,
    It's placed in a relatively "hidden" position in order to prevent accidental knocks and level changes during performance. Since these units are on the road a fair bit, we want to make sure the mic level stays put after it has been adjusted during sound check/setup.

    So I've had the VLP for about a year now and while I enjoy it I'm a little bummed that there's been no new presets for quite some time. I do create my own but it's pretty sweet to have some already pre-done for current tunes. Saves some work. Fun product.

      The Heart of Rock & Roll: A Tribute To Huey Lewis and The News Heya, with over 1000 presets out there for download via VoiceSupport, you can definitely use lots of them across many different songs. Don't worry about matching the title of the preset to the specific song it might reference. The presets can apply to tons of different music.

    • @dougclark110
      @dougclark110 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You've probably gotten an answer by now, but just in case you didn't: The Switch3 can control looping, but I don't know if any other functions can be assigned ("mapped") to its switches.
      Here's something from the manual: "Note: When a Switch3 is plugged in, Key/Scale selection is automatically assigned to UP/DN .When the Switch3 is unplugged, UP/DN remains Key/Scale and will need to be changed in the setup menu if you wish to assign UP/DN back to Looping."

    Hey Craig!
    Have a few questions hope you can answer them, can't figure it out.
    I just got the TC VoiceLivePlay and it works fine so far, but I also got a Helicon Switch-6, and it seems to me I can't assign the buttons properly, in setup it says Switch-3. I have updated firmware and everything but the button 1down 2up 3hit doesn't work.
    The reason I got the Switch-6 was to assign 6 different presets that I have modified.
    I want Switch-6 like this:
    1. Preset 250
    2 Preset 251
    etc
    Do the Switch-6 not work with the Helicon VoiceLIvePlay or is something else missing?
    And, the overdrive effect don't seem to work, the vocals isn't distored even on max level. All other effects works properly to edit/configure the way I want them on my preset.

      There are 8 fixed Tone settings to choose from in VoiceLive Play. (with different gate, shape, compressor/deesser and Warmth values).
      If that’s not enough, turn off the Tone feature in VoiceLive Play and use it in a chain like this: microphone -> T1 -> VoiceLive Play.

    I know this is an old video but... I was looking to get one of these but not sure what the differences are for vocals with the 'play acustic' version. As I also sometime play guitar but mainly need this for vocals

      I just bought the Play Acoustic version and I highly recommend it. The vocal effects are the same PLUS acoustic guitar FX. Or you can simply use as guitar DI box.

    Does this unit have compressor built in? How is dynamics controlled?

    • @dougclark110
      @dougclark110 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is some compression added to some of the parameters of the Tone Style setting. From the manual:
      Tone Style - Applies varying amounts of Adaptive EQ, Compression and Gate .
      There are 9 styles to choose from:
      1 . OFF - No Tone Style is applied .
      2. NORMAL - Some “bottom”, “mid” and “air” EQ , light compression and minor gating (when
      the input level gets low enough, the input is muted) is applied to the signal .
      3. LESS BRIGHT - Similar to Normal, but with less emphasis on high frequency EQ.
      4. NORM+WARMTH - Similar to Normal, with a small “mid bump” to add some warmth to the
      voice .
      5. MORE COMP - Utilizes the Normal EQ and Gating settings, but with more aggressive compression settings .This is a good setting to try if you have a large dynamic range when singing
      and want to keep your levels under control.
      6 . NORM NO GATE - Removes the Gate function from the normal setting .This means that even
      at very low input levels, the mic is still active or “hot”.
      7. LESS BRIGHT NG - The same as Less Bright, but with the Gate function removed.
      8. WARMTH NG - The same as NORM+WARMTH, but with the Gate function removed.
      9. MORE COMP NG - The same as MORE COMP, but with the Gate function removed.

    Yep, but the Touch has 4 voices of harmony and the Play has 2, though you can use doubling for Octave up/dn in addition to the 2 Harmony voices.

    Hi Craig
    Quick enquiry ... on certain shows, the sound tech wants to control reverb for FOH. Is there a way to globally turn off just the reverb for all presets on my Voicelive Play, but retain all my other settings?

    • @kiskadar69
      @kiskadar69 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      IMO it's not possible.There is a global Delay/Reverb parameter. It changes the level of any Delay and Reverb effects simultaneously.

    what would be a good setting for singing STP music? Please include delay / reverb settings. Does it help to set the settings on the same key the song is performed in?

    • @tchelicon
      @tchelicon  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Tim! Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with STP music, but if you're going to be using Harmonies, then you'd need to either set the key you're singing in, or use Roomsense to listen to the chord progression of the music occuring in the room.

  • @tchelicon
    @tchelicon  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The effects used on vocals are common to all genres, so you could totally use this for rock/metal.
    Just because a preset is modeled after a Britney song, doesn't mean the effects themselves aren't appropriate to other genres.
    Listen for the sound you like, not necessarily the title of the preset.
    Hope that makes sense!

But it also causes for a severe feedback even when I have the mic gain completely closed.. Any ideas what might be the issue?!!

    Hi MaadDaawg,
    There's no Blues Genre, but I'd try all sorts of presets to see what you like. Even though presets fall in certain genres based on the song they're built from, effects like Reverb, Delay and Harmony are common to all styles of music, so a hard rock song's effects could literally be exactly the same as a Clapton tune.

  • @ccsashab1
    @ccsashab1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been really excited about buying this pedal, but have been reading a number of reviews that say it's not useful when being backed by a full band in a live setting (i.e. practice space, small shows, etc.). Can it be used in that setting? All of the demo videos I've seen have either been solo singers, or someone singing with only a guitar. I play bass in the band also, if that matters.

    • @tchelicon
      @tchelicon  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We typically show smaller solo setups in videos simply because production is a lot easier to deal with. Plenty of people use the products in a live setting in bigger bands. The things to be mindful of (at least my opinion) are:
      1. Keep in mind that "bleed" from the band can interfere with generating harmony voices. So, pick a mic with good rejection and set your gain when you're quite close to the mic. If you stand back a foot when you sing with a loud band, a lot of the band will make it into the unit.
      2. Be mindful that Tone adds EQ, Compression, De-Ess and Gate to your mic, so you need to flatten any EQ at the PA (from the sound tech's perspective, it's more like getting a fully processed signal like a backing track or keyboard, so they shouldn't treat it like "every other SM58 and singer" they are used to). Flattening the FOH mixer can also greatly reduce the chance of feedback, which will immediately be blamed on the unit ;)
      3. For the Play specifically, RoomSense can be great, but also sometimes unreliable based on what the unit can "hear" of chords in the room. I'd go with a more reliable key/scale setup by saving the key and scale for each song/preset manually so there's no room for confusion.
      4. Have fun owning your own sound as a singer! It can really be transformative to have complete control over your sound at all times during a show and can really have a big impact on the audience.

    So, yes, I'm just finding this 8 years later... Anyhow, what I'm hoping it can do is: Reverb, Delay, Harmony, Doubling and Octave (up & down). It looks like it can do most of these things but I'm not 100% sure about Doubling and Octave up/down. Thanks.

    • @tchelicon
      @tchelicon  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jared Gio The HardTune key/scale is accessed via the Harmony Edit page since they use the same scale settings. Change the Key from Auto to whatever you want and press/hold any of the soft buttons to get to the second edit page to set the scale. Then, save the preset.

      Our devices are typically intended to go out to one or more powered speakers or a mixer, amp, speaker PA type setup. Lots of folks use something like this for small'ish gigs and rehearsals. www.musictri.be/Categories/Behringer/Loudspeaker-Systems/Portable/B112D/p/P0AJN

  • @matthewftinogiannis1644

    Hey guys sweet tool. Can the harmony voices to a custom amount of semitones away from your voice. EG: always track 1 semitone below and 2 semitones above? If not possible on VoiceLive Play, is it possible on the GTX model in MIDI mode?
    thanks!

    • @tchelicon
      @tchelicon  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Matthew Ftinogiannis We can't do 1 or 2 semitones specifically on Play, though you can do that for the lead voice using HardTune. For any MIDI Notes mode enabled unit, like Play GTX, you can send the specific notes you'd like the harmonies to sing.
      There's two modes for MIDI harmony, "NaturalPlay" where it listens to all the incoming MIDI "song" and finds chords in it to drive key/scale and makes the harmony choices automatically or "Notes" mode where 1-4 (depending on the product, GTX has up to 2) notes below or above a split point trigger those specific notes of harmony as you sing.

    • @matthewftinogiannis1644
      @matthewftinogiannis1644 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      cool, thanks for the reply :)
      so your saying that the GTX can give me 2 independant voices of harmony which can each be set to be any of the 12 semitones from the lead voice. This is only be achieved by sending the GTX MIDI data and cannot be set on the unit itself?

    @AbCd-rk9nl 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I snagged a voicelive play last week. It seems ok but is rather limited with regard to vocal effects - especially traditional effects like compression, eq, reverb and chorus. I am considering the voicelive 2 touch. Will it give me more options as far as vocal effects go? I am really looking for more control over the essentials. Right now I'm not convinced that the vl2 touch will give me what I am looking for

    • @tchelicon
      @tchelicon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      We don't offer fully manual control of EQ, Comp, De-Ess or Gate in any products other than VoiceLive 3. Tone amalgamates all those into our adaptive block. There's tons of reverbs to choose from, along with the uMod block handling chorus, flange etc.
      Touch 2 doesn't have any further control than the Play has over the EQ etc. and shares the same Reverb and uMod blocks, though there are some extra controls available to tweak within the styles themselves.

    • @AbCd-rk9nl
