markstuk Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 In a moment of madness I've just pushed the button on one these.... If nothing else it looks like fun, and some of the effects may be useable.... If anyone is interested I'll post thoughts/noises ..... CHeers Mark Quote
markstuk Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 OK.. Had a play.... Vocal effects are top notch as you would expect.. On first pass though the guitar effects are thin and nasty (and noisy) on bass anyway.. This may be down to my idiot misconfiguration so I'll keep going.... One big whinge though... TC provide a lovely bit of firmware/patch management software that only allows you to backup/rename/delete patches but not their settings... I'm led to believe this is a TC "product management" decision as apparently editing patch settings is a high end thing... Quote
Monckyman Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Are you using the harmoniser,and if so how do the voices sound? Quote
markstuk Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 For vocals? Yes, all the vocal effects are pretty damn impressive... I've not tried the harmoniser with bass yet though... Quote
fretmeister Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I have a Boss VE-20 and it's great fun. Doesn't have guitar thru so you set it for what key you are in. Good quality sounds, as long as you bin the over the top presets. Quote
markstuk Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 Yup one of my guitards has the VE-20... Like you he's found it works best when using it "toned down" and only uses it for vocal thickening.. .. The voicelive also has internal mics to sense the key, and I'm still not sure that using "roomsense" only is any worse than tracking the bass input... So at the moment I would suggest that the "GTX" extra over the standard Voicelive is a bit of a gimmick.. And I'm still annoyed by the "feature restricted" patch management...

charic Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Me and my vocalist are looking at the voicelive touch, looks like a handy bit of kit Quote
Monckyman Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I`m still favouring the rack version of this as I reckon I can change patches on it via my Boss GT6 and not have two pedals knocking about. I also like the feature that allows you to send an FX aux to it so others can access the delays and verbs etc, but the harmonies stay on the one mic. Looks like TC have it sorted though Quote
markstuk Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Quick Update... Now got the FX sounding reasonable after tweaking the very poorly documented options... Hate the fact that plugging something into the "Instrument Thru" jack disables instrument FX... Don't like the fact I can only choose canned FX as well.. And still don't like the VoiceSupport software which is irritatingly under featured Quote
