TC Helicon VoiceLive Touch: A Very Sensitive Vocal Effects Processor Demo (Video)

  • I'ma let you finish watching this demo, but the TC Helicon VoiceLive Touch is one of the greatest stand-mount vocal processors ever made. Yeah, I know, we're not usually ones for hyperbole, but this harmony generator and vocal sweetened with built-in looper is really something else. And given the fact that it's the only stand-mount vocal processor, it's not such an outlandish statement.
    What is outlandish are some of the voice-mangling presets included in the VoiceLive Touch - and there's over 200 to choose from right out of the box. Owen takes a listen to some of those presets in this video, but if you're the type who typically eschews presets altogether, Owen also shows you how easy it is to access the wealth of effects and parameters the Touch has to offer. Pretty much the only thing you can't do with this hardware is play Angry Birds.

    Great review! I have one of these and I am just scratching the surface on it. So far it has really helped me and makes my average vocals sound a bit better than average. Thanks for the demo!

    Great choice for a melody with "Holiday". That's probably one of my favorite Weezer vocal melodies during that bridge.

    Hey this video was great. I am toying around with the idea of using this sort of thing for a theatrical production, but couldn't find anything that seemed to suit my needs. This device has everything, even a looper! This vid really got into detail about everything and was very informative.Thanks!

    Yes it does. He didn't demo it but I saw the category 'Hard Tune' in the menu. I'd assume that would be the category where you would find effects like auto tune and pitch correction. I read a little elsewhere and found that you can set pitch corrections by percentages.

    I have the Harmony G which wasn't too bad until it burned out just after the warranty expired. The problem with a machine that sets harmony with your guitar is that sometimes the vocal goes to the wrong place such as background harmony while soloing. It's also difficult to control on the floor when in a pedal board setting.To disconnect the guitar controlled harmony one must step on both switches at once. Not easy when other devices are being foot controlled at the same time.

    I agree with some commenters that you spent a lot of time messing around with the useless, cartoony/weird presets.... I like the design of this thing, but for guitarists/singers or pianists/singers... completely inconvenient, unless you have the footswitch. I like the design, though... being able to add harmonies and take them away, with the touch of a button. I wish other pedals had this feature... kick in the 3rd, kick in the 5th... take away the 5th... etc.

    have you heard Julianna Barwick? Not sure if she uses the voicelive touch, but she does use a helicon voicetone harmony, reverb, and other loops effects and I think voicetone pitch-correction pedal. I don't know the specific type though. I am interested in harmonizing my different voices and it's my first time purchase. What would you recommend? I want more added effects and multi-layered loops.

  • @BillAllyn

    I don't think the USB port carries any audio either direction. It's just for midi and version updates.

  • @BETILYO

    It is posible to adjust presets for harmony whyle playing along whit your band but, without your guitar telling the tc the key of the song?

  • @didleybopp
    @didleybopp 10 років тому +6

    Having just had to return not one but two faulty units, I have to say I'm not overly impressed! Extremely loud hissing sound and malfunctioning operations were just two of the problems. From what I could gather, even when operating correctly the unit has SEVERE limitations in the looping department. The best thing about it is the harmonizer, but they make one of those separately. Don't waste your money. TC has clearly not figured out the bugs yet. This is NOT really a looper, the presets are heavy on the harmonizer and light on delays and reverbs and I don't know about you, but I don't have a huge need for weird robot voices.

    • @didleybopp
      @didleybopp 10 років тому +1

      *****
      I decided to abandon stand-alone looper units for the time being (well I do already own a VE-20, but it doesn't undo, only layer) and go with a laptop, midi keyboard and Ableton Live. A techy friend is setting it all up for me and I haven't received it yet. But I have experimented with this set-up in the past and I liked how I could record a phrase of whatever length and then assign it to a keyboard key allowing me to play my voice phrases like an organ. I think this will work. To be fair to TC, I do think what happened to me was weird and unusual - they must've had a bad run and the distributor I was dealing with obviously had a whole bunch of 'em. I will likely buy their harmonizer in the future. Was very impressed with those features of the VoiceLive Touch. Cheers!
