Man, you have an excellent ear and vocals, no worse than the stars, you need to perform, I think you will win the hearts of millions. Best regards from Russia.
I love that this lists all keys around the knob. The Roland only lists the major keys and you kinda have to figure out on your own what the accompanying / relative minor key is. Being a vocalist and not a musician, the Zoom is really helpful listing all the keys.
Good job , that it a the coolest Vocal effects unit I have seen . I'm using a TC Helicon unit and this has many more options and the harmony function is very cool
Excellent! Thanks for starting with playing in the key it is set on! I noticed the demo on ZoomLabs channel picked KEY=C and then never got a C note... so the harmonies were "accurate" but b/c they didn't start on the correct note (in the Key of C), it was just sloppy. This was GREAT! Thank you!
I could disagree. I got a zoom multi effects processor for a guitar and it had such a weak/ flat tone that I gave it to my niece. She eventually left it here with me nearly unused a couple years later.
Great demo. I found the added harmonies to be robotic. Tc helicon and the ve-8 have more natural sounding harmonies to my ear. I tried all of them over the years. Guitar center lets u take it home for 29 days. Really try it. Things sound different after a couple weeks. Try em soft, loud, feedback limit testing if ur thinking live. Happy hunting. Get that sound.
Hard to know how much effect percentage he had on. I feel like all of the demo's for these harmonizers (including TC HELICON) they always have the effect cranked to 100%. I always use mine at around 35-45% to make it sound more natural.
Thank you so much for your fantastic video. I nearly didn't but this after some of the Amazon reviews but you put me at ease very easily. I am buying this right now ;~}
Is it practical to switch the effects with your feet while playing live? I just ordered it ,but it doesnt look that practical to be used with your feet.
I like your vocal guiding. I have some questions- currently searching for similar to the one you're mentioning. I like to use in my vehicle for long trip across the country or at small event- nursing home Lounge weekend. I have several mini sound systems could be uses in vehicle or at the park or back yard events. All I needed is the digital voice FX with minimal space- similar to Zoom Vocal, V3. This year or next year 2025. Thank you for any suggestions....
Thanks for great demo.I have a ve20 which is I use live with backing trax and is OK. I mostly use double for the song choruses because other harmony setting s are not really usable. Would I need to set a key on the Zoom to each song because I play sax(s) flute fiddle so enough to think about.
since this doesnt have an xlr output, do you still need some kind of preamp or can you go out of this thing into one of the 1/4 inch jacks in the board?
Good advice on the umph factor, I am more of a guitarist.I have the tc helicon gear, but was super impressed by a 3d zoom recorder i bought. The sound is awesome.
great video ! how can i hook this up to my mixer and still capture the effects from the zoom into my computer ? My computer has an interface which captures the signal of my mic into my DAW. How can I incorporate the zoom into my tools to have it record ? I noticed your using phone jack in ? is that headphone jack to two RCA plugs into a mixer ? please help before I purchase thanks
Thank you very much,thi is very helpful, but a question: how many of all those effects could be used together at the same time? For example if I would have an harmony with a vocoder, does it works?
@@ThePedalGuythank you dear for your response! I think I Will go for the boss RC 505 mkII , that has all those effects on 4 banks also together, and the loop section seems to be very useful for RnB music, and also for rock cover. Thank you so much for helping me to understand what I need
Thx for your helpful demo. I'm considering buying a zoom V3 and was just wondering if you could adjust the volume of each harmony. I'd like to make sure that the lead voice can remain louder than the harmonies. Thank you very much :)
That's typically usually controlled by the amount of effect (harmonizer) that you put on. I usually have my harmonizer effect amount around 35-45% anymore is too much.
I must have seen a dozen demo videos on this piece of equipment and no one ever demo'ed the Harmony feature like you just did. Mostly because none of those other clowns can sing. How can you demonstrate a Harmonizer if you don't sing into it? Thank you for a real demo. I don't need any of those other sounds, but other than a plug-in into a DAW, this is the best harmonizer I have heard. My studio is Old School.. I use a 30 year old, stand-alone sequencer with my keyboard, and a Tascam DP-32 Portastudio. So I need a Harmonizer I can hold in my hands. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger on this one
@@ThePedalGuy There was one other question I had.. if I select High and Higher harmony and sing, is the effect mix set at a fixed level, or can I blend the effect using the Effect Adjust knob so that all three voices are the same level?
Thank you for your helpful demo. (I would have liked to hear you isolate/demonstrate the delay effect a little more.) I'm shopping for an easy to use garage band harmony processor around 300 bucks.
the delay/reverb is very usable for a vocalist. not much in the way of options but I combine this unit with my desk anyway. ive been getting some great feedback doing Phil Collins using the delay/reverb on the unit. Ive been using the harmonies on Eagles tracks. Took some experimentation but very happy. I do wish I had got the V6 though. Serves me right for being cheap.
I was deciding between the roland vt 4 and this zoom v3. I think I'll go for this one since the vt4 is more for people that sings with too many autotune or vocoder. I want a processor mainly for chorus, delay, reverb and the telephone effect. But i would like to also get echo and flanger/phaser effects. What do you recommend?
No one of my subscribers liked vocal processing at all. In fact they refused o listen to processed vocals. I don't blame them.i stopped and my channel has grown.
Is there a way to control the Zoom V3 effects from another footswitch or pedalboard? I want to activate chorus effects only during the choruses, but it’s inconvenient to switch effects manually while playing. Any advice?
Are there any vocal harmonizers/processors, where you can have access to the controls with your hands (without bending over) & then have the start/stop switches down below to operate with your feet?
Evening just come across your video I am a kids entertainer and I have a costume that I wear, I'm looking for a device I can plug into my qu24 mixer and then plug my mic into and change my voice, do basically a voice changer. Is there anything you can recommend. Many thanks. I use a head mic.
It’s so loud, the voice monitor feature I mean. I have my voice monitor set so low but yet islets so loud and if I want to turn it up my ears would bleed. Is the only way to truly fix this, by getting a mixer? Would I be able to connect my goXLR and zoom V3 together?
@@ThePedalGuy I found a on my mic last night that was switched to the on position that increased the decibels by 20, upon switching that to the off position fixed the monitor loudness along with the backfeed
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know if you can save presets? I've read the manual but it doesn´t say anything about it. And also, can you adjust the delay tempo?? Thanks in advanceeee!
@@ThePedalGuy thank you again man for answering! That helps a lot. Even if you can save presets, it's so easy to use than in a few seconds you can come up with any setup you want. The best of lucks to you!!!
It comes with a USB type C cable for power. Will need a charger box to power it though if you aren't plugging directly into a computer. The AC adapter option is there but most people won't use it. Batteries can also be used for people carrying it places.
Question : to maximize the quality of the pads " pitch correction" do i have to set the knob " harmony" in a specific position ( depending what i am singing) or is not necessary? Thank you for your kind reply . Patrick from Italy
Merhabalar çeviri üzerinden yazıyorum umarım anlarsınız zoom V3 bi ses kartı olarakta kullanabiliyoruz değil mi ve bu efekleri kayıt yaparken direk efektli bir şekilde kaydedebiliyormuyuz?
Just got 1 nice I had to use 1/4 to 1/4 unbalanced cable to my karaoke cd usa machine model gf920 to make it work. The balance cable did not work why ? Maybe you know why ?
Hey, thanks so much for this demo. Can it play more than one effect at a time (like pitch correct and chorus)? Or is it just one a Ly a time? - In assuming the 3 on the right can run all the time regardless - compression, reverb & delay? And last question: does the delay have a tap tempo feature? Thanks again for your help.
hi, one question: looking at the key selector knob, there's no option for sharp and flat tone key. if someone wants to sing, let's say in F#, or Eb, how to select the harmony for that pitch?
That's a very, very good question! There are flat and sharp keys in grey below the major keys but I can't find out how to switch to them. For example, just below C is Am but I don't know how to choose Am instead of C.
Man, you have an excellent ear and vocals, no worse than the stars, you need to perform, I think you will win the hearts of millions. Best regards from Russia.

Thanks

Can you use both formant AND pitch correct at the same time?
Does it work with a pedal? I play lguitar and lead vocals for a rock band and can't mess around with buttons on stage.
No, you would want to look at the V6 as the alternative if you need it to be a pedal.

Can I use this for live performance? I noticed it doesn't have xlr output. How can I get this to come through a speaker?
Of course. It's a 1/4" output to your PA system. Should work fine.
During in the air tonight the song is in minor but harms sounded major. Is that a catch of this pedal?
So how do I use it in unison with my audio interface? (To record vocals and guitar at the same time)
Audio Out of the V3 to the Audio In on your Audio IO
