Put Vocal Processing and Looping at Your Fingertips!

The coolest singer-centric gadget ever! The VoiceLive Touch takes singers out of the world of strictly stompbox-style control and gives you a new level of performance possibilities. After all, since you've got your hands free to grab the mic when you want to, why rely on pedal-only effects? Get your fingertips on the VoiceLive Touch and take charge of harmonies, effects, and even looping. The intuitive display screen puts you in touch with all the controls you need. You can easily navigate through 200+ presets to find the perfect sound. And you can also store your favorite combinations/edited presets to 25 fast-access memory locations.





The effects that made the best-selling VoiceLive 2 so famous are in here, so get ready to blow your band and audience away. You'll find first-class delays, reverbs, pitch-correction, doubling, and much more. And the harmonies here are extra cool. If you play guitar or keyboard - or someone in the band does - you can hook up their instruments to your VoiceLive Touch and let the guitar or MIDI keyboard drive the auto-sensing harmony feature. How cool is that?

Here's a cool addition to the VoiceLive Touch: VLOOP technology. Now you can loop vocal parts (guitar too, even) - up to 30 seconds stereo or 60 seconds mono! And with unlimited overdubs, you'll have a blast creating awesome layered performances... taking your vocal possibilities to a completely new level. Of course, when you enter "Loops" mode, you can record up to 25 loops with identical loop points. Very fun stuff.

After the show (or between sets) you can connect your TC-Helicon VoiceLive Touch to your computer over USB and edit presets via VoiceSupport software. You can access 400 preset slots (including 25 favorites) and move/copy/swap any favorite or presets, so you can customize your VoiceLive Touch the way you want. You can even record audio over USB to maximize your vocal options! And, for the record, the VoiceLive Touch mounts nicely to your microphone stand, so it's always in the perfect place. Or, you can set it on your desktop and work that way. It's an ingenious piece of gear, built with you in mind!

This is so easy to operate out of the box. Hook up to your laptop/desktop and get the latest drivers and updates/presets. A nice looking piece of equipment. TC-Helicon have delivered and so did my sal... read more [+]es engineer Dennis Konicki.

I get my pre-order in on all great products and even make a deposit and I know I'm going to be first cab on the rank on release date.
A mixture of great features and slick ergonomics make this a real winner in my book. Do yourself a favour and get this as it oozes quality and that pro touch for your vocal in the studio or on the stage.

I love this device. I gave it less than 5 because it lacks the ability to send an already recorded loop to a DAW (via USB). TC says they are working on this, so maybe a firmware update will add this f... read more [+]unctionality. That would warrant a full 5 stars.

The touch screen is really responsive. I'd say as good as an iPhone screen. There's never any lag nor any need to tap the screen a second time. Really like this aspect.

The text display is a bit short in my opinion. I would be happy to sacrifice button size a tad, in exchange for a wider display. The text size could also be reduced slightly to afford more characters on screen at a time. However, it's not a major detriment.

The build is fantastic. This thing feels really solid and sturdy.

Using GarageBand, I do notice that I lose connection intermittently. TC states that there is no sleep mode on the Touch, so maybe GB is responsible, or even a faulty USB port on my laptop? I have not seen anyone else mention this so I'm pretty sure it's just my system getting old and tired.

The level dials on the RHS for mic and headphone are very useful and well placed. In a perfect scenario, I'd like to have these dials be "notched" so that I could feel how many increments were being added as I turned them. Hint, hint TC.

I found that getting the looping feature to work seamlessly took a lot of trial-and-error to get the timing right. If you start or stop the loop at the wrong time, your loop will either be cut short or have a blank space between cycles. A bit of practice to get this down.

I've been using my VLT mostly connected to a computer for studio recording and find it to be beneficial to my creative process. It never seems to be in the way of creativity.

I know I've been a bit nit-picky about some of my points, but hopefully this will help others in their decision making. Go for it, get one! close [-]

Well Worth the Money

This is an excellent product with regards to sound quality and what you can do with it. The harmonies track cleanly with a guitar part and there are plenty of presets that you can tweak on the fly so... read more [+] building the sound you want is pretty simple. The interface is easy enough to get around on but I would absolutely recommend that you spend some time with the documentation. Do the D/L to get the full user manual and learn the device. It definitely pays off. As for audio quality, I have used this as a studio grade effect to add harmony backup vocals and was told by other industry pros that the BGVs worked well on those cuts. Don't be surprised though if you ever get the chance to hear the harmonies on a track by themselves how robotic they sound, but when overlaid with a real voice, (i.e. YOUR voice) they sound awesome with all the swoops and warbles that make for a real sounding track. Earlier review about the limitation of editing specific scales/keys is wrong. It's in there you just have to dig a bit to get to that part of the system. As with any simplified user interface, every button has to wear a few hats. So again, read the manual to get the most out of this. Also this has the ability to drive the harmonies from just about any source, guitar, midi, audio, MP3, USB… it’s got it all.

Overall this is a great sounding piece of equipment I knocked it ½ star because of the following shortcomings, that if didn’t exist would make this unit worth twice the price. And I’m being VERY nit-picky here… so don’t put too much on these next bits. I’m just playing “what if” here.

Physical design - the “clip on your mic stand” design is clever and keeps the unit in easy reach but the rubber they coated the unit with isn’t grippy enough to keep it from sliding down to the extension clutch on most mic stands so unless you are pretty short, you need to tie a rubberband around the extension to keep it from sliding down.

-the space between the back of the unit and the mic stand clip is really tight to get cables with heatshrink reinforced plugs in the space. Even a standard XLR plug is just a tad long to fit back there without having the cable bent at a pretty hard angle.

-the wall wart power supply only has about a 6 foot cord, which isn’t the most convenient for some stage applications. Four or five more feet would have made this much more gig friendly.

-the touch interface is very sensitive as mentioned before and this can sometimes be a problem when switching between banks and other functions where you have to press multiple buttons, vs pressing and holding a button.

-the plastic on the touch interface could be harder, or better yet, gorilla glass. The space over my scroll bar has dozens of micro scratches just from using my fingers. I never used my nails, (don’t think that would even work) just the hardness/roughness of my guitar calluses scratched the plastic.

-The latest version of the firmware got rid of the ability to do a factory reset in the field, but if you have this version, you also have the voice control software and can easily restore a factory archive that way, just not in the field.

-The scroll function is nice, but would be great if you could type in the patch # you wanted instead of having to scroll thru hundreds of presets. Or design a future firmware that doesn’t lose momentum once you are at maximum scroll speed.

-The USB Midi/audio function was pretty glitchy, I had much better results actually patching a vocal track into the unit with a piano or guitar part to drive the harmonies. Then I set the unit to mute the lead (your voice) and the guitar and so all I got out of it was the harmonies. This worked MUCH better than the USB function as described to set it as an outboard effects unit.

Add ons - Given the scratch resistance of its material, it would be great if TC Helicon offered soft-case designed for it that is big enough to hold the power supply and a few cables as well.

- This unit MUST be sold with the foot pedal. It is impossible for a single user to lay down a guitar loop, or any other instrumental loop if they are playing two handed with out it. Beatboxing works ok but for other efforts you GOTTA have the pedal. close [-]

I know its expensive, but if you run a lot of effects on your vocals, I mainly use reverb and delay, you need to buy this. I'm in an electronic band, and a lot of the time my vocals really need to carry the song, and this processor really accentuates that. close [-]
