voice live 2

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 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.

Incredible!

I have been looking at this type of thing for years. We have been trying to find a 4rth for our band for about a year now with no success, and I am the only vocalalist in the band, which is very limiting. After some research and reading a lot of reviews, I pulled the trigger. Man... was the the best decision I have made for a while. Incredible harmonies, and tons of choices. It's gonna take a while just to sort through all of the pre-packaged choices. Now our 3 piece power trio sounds like a 5 man band, and no cheese factor.

Over The Top

I never sounded so good and after starting to use the VL2 I opened up new doors to vocal capabilities. I have actually gained more confidence since starting to use this device. The people in my church were amazed at how much fuller the sound was and really appreciated the addition. 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. (Maybe in the next design)

Beautiful

I'm so impressed with the elegance of design that went into making this system! Not only have I had a chance to try this out in a live format, but i've also experimented with it in the studio. Voicelive 2 did an exceptional job in both.

Just when I thought I couldn't be any happier with this product I found out about V Loop...wow!! Talk about a fantastic firmware update!!

Addition of V-loop

I have had mine since Spring '10 and totally blown away with the variety vocal alternatives, harmonies, and effects. Now that TC-Helicon has added V-Loop FOR FREE by just downloading the new 3.1 release, the VoiceLive 2 is even more amazing.

Great for Recording Vocals

The VoiceLive 2 is also awesome for recording vocals. It's a USB interface good up to 96K and has RCA SPDIF I/O. You have the adaptive compressor, EQ and de-essing available (all very good and musical sounding), and you have access to some fantastic TC Electronics reverbs, printable for demos or as an aux effect on your tracks. It's like an instant "THAT'S the pro lead vocal sound I've wanted" machine!

Amazing Technology!

Last December I purchased a TC Helicon Harmony G. It was so good , I immediately put it up for sale and started saving for the Voicelive 2.
I got it just in time to install the latest software update and all I can say is AMAZING!
All the video demos and reviews are accurate. This thing allows a singer to do amazing things with the voice. Everything is fully editable and you can create just about any sound imaginable. Start with the guitar effects. You can dial in the most amazing reverb, chorus, flange and compression and then easily edit them to perfection. My guitar never sounded better! Take any of the 200 + harmony effects and customize them in every way possible. If this wasn't enough, each harmony preset can have up to 10 step changes where you can change harmony settings, effect settings, add singers, etc. etc.
10 different steps!!! This thing is unreal.
I played professionally for many years with a small group that featured 3 part harmony. Well, my group is back, ( in a box) and better than ever. I perform solo now and people are stunned by the incredible sound and Harmonies.
This is something all performers dreamed about 10 years ago. It happened, and it's great. Thank you TC Helicon.

A great unit!

I have only had this unit a couple of weeks, but I have had some excellent results with it. The sounds are great! I used it to record some backing vocals via In-Track Sampling on my Korg M3, and it works wonderfully. It is also very easy to modify and store settings once you get used to the interface. I had to reluctantly deduct 1/2 star for the slightly "inexpert" instruction manuals. The detailed manual in PDF form is rather clunky, inasmuch as it doesn't have the "bookmarks" that you find on others, and lacks the in-depth detail of similar manuals. I had to go to their on-line tutorials for some answers. But buy the unit anyways; once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked!
