Studio-quality Vocal Effects Onstage and at Your Feet!

The TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 makes it easier than ever to generate great-sounding vocal harmonies right onstage. You can create up to eight harmony voices and control them from your guitar, MIDI keyboard or even from your MP3 player. Six effects blocks provide reverb, delay, doubling, pitch-shifting, distortion, and megaphone effects. The sturdy floor-based VoiceLive2 also includes a digitally controlled mic preamp that lets you adjust its gain even while you're singing, and its Tone algorithm automatically adjusts EQ, de-essing, and compression functions for you. VoiceLive 2 is a real performer's performer!







TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 at a Glance:
  • Make amazing, realistic harmonies right onstage
  • Automatic functions let you concentrate on your performance
  • Add effects to further enhance your vocals
  • Individual switches to easily access effects

Make amazing, realistic harmonies right onstage
Now it's easier than ever to lead your own vocal backup group and sound rich and authentically human at the same time. It starts with a guitar, MIDI keyboard or aux-input controlled vocal harmony algorithm with four intervals, each of which can be unison-doubled or eight discrete voices controlled by your MIDI keyboard playing. And when you want to tap into your gospel soul, there's the completely new Choir algorithm that creates the massive multi-voice group vocal sound to bring home those memorable choruses.

Automatic functions let you concentrate on your performance
When you're worrying about parameter settings, you spend less time focusing on your music. That's why TC-Helicon automated several of VoiceLive 2's features. Auto Mic Gain lets you set the mic gain from a standing position just by singing. Once this is done there are no knobs to be jostled in transit and you can still do manual tweaks if you want to.
Is feedback a problem? An all new Auto Gate listens to you and adjusts to reduce feedback and effects leak-through while you're not singing. Check out the Auto Tone function: a single push of the Tone button engages studio quality Shape EQ, compression and de-essing that adapts to the tonal range of your singing style and voice for increased impact and smoothed dynamics. Finally your live singing can have that studio polish. Reverb and Delay ducking lets you increase the sustaining tail of your reverb and delay effects while carving out plenty of room for your lyrics with ducking. The level of the effects is reduced while you sing and then subtly increases after your last syllable for a paradoxical deeper ambience with enhanced intelligibility. Of course, this is all automatic; just select a ducking reverb or delay style, and VoiceLive 2 does the rest.

Add effects to further enhance your vocals
In addition to vocal harmony, you can construct or select preset effect chains containing effects to distort your voice, clone your voice (use up to four voices of humanized unison overdubs in addition to the eight harmony voices to fatten up your sound), expand your space (incredible reverbs), and add subtle to intense modulation effects.

Individual switches to easily access effects
Having a large chain of effects won't do as much good if you can't add and remove links in the chain when the mood strikes. The individual stompbox footswitches for Harmony, Doubling, Mod, Reverb, Delay and FX give you the flexibility to layer or simplify at will. Also, there's a Shortcut footswitch that can be assigned to add other interesting features such as tap tempo, harmony hold and others. There is no separation between Song mode and Preset mode as there was in the classic VoiceLive; each preset can have up to 50 steps each of which can contain a different preset or a simple modification of the main preset.

TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 Features:
  • Wizard button helps you find the right preset

What a great piece of gear. Although I had to return the first one, it had a faulty screen. I have only had it for about three weeks and I am still just going through all the presets, I must say they ... read more [+]sound so real , I have become addicted to singing. This pc of gear actually makes you sing better because you can hear when you are off key. I am just a novice at this so trying to adjust setting will be in the future although I have tried it it seems easy but for me not necessary because of all the presets, there are plenty to choose from. you will not be let down with this purchase. close [-]

The only thing I would do different on the design is make is so you can plug two different guitars in as I play electric and acoustic guitar and have to switch out cables during the set.
