Blown Away!
I am a drummer turned guitar player. Vocals have been a very recent journey for me. I use a Tascam 24 at home. I invested in a Warm Audio WA67 which provided a tremendous quality boost to vocal clarity and presence. Adding the TA-1VP leveraged the mic investment many times over. I was able to step thru the mic profiles, EQ settings, DEsser, and of course a dash of auto-tune that took my previous vocal attempt to a high gloss finish straight out of the box - in practically less than 1 hour of playing around with the settings! I would much rather experiment than read! The studio I use locally has 10K worth of rack gear on its vocals. I can't compete with my engineer's skills and his pro-tools setup there, but this combo of Tascam gear with the Warm Mic has delivered generously towards pro-quality. I am very happy with this purchase! Also, I needed some assistance when it first arrived, which not only did I receive from Sweetwater, but also I got a prompt return call from Tascam in CA! FYI - the default setting for input on this device is line. It appears the majority of applications are rack mount line input. If you are using the Mic pre, you have to go into the sub menu to let it know! Who knew? I know now, and so do you!
Tascam AutoTune
Works as good as our Antares plugins. Love it.
A Real Bargain
This exceeded my expectations. It has a great doubling effect. If you are easy on the auto-tune it has some amazing sounds. I did discover that the mic input is a little noisy which doesn't really matter since I have mine hooked up using the line in from an output from a tube preamp. For the price it would be hard to beat to get the professional sound it is capable of.
Fantastic for getting strong vocals
For the price, this is a very good option if you're trying to get great vocal sounds. The autotune is smooth and makes a big difference in the takes required to get it right. The mic modeler and compressor gets a thick, warm and HUGE lead vocal sound to tape. The de-esser and eq mean that you won't need anything but this box to get a strong vocal track happening. The vocal tracks coming out of this thing stand up to a vocal chain costing ten times this amount.
Great Bang for the Buck
I'm a worship leader at a 2,000 member church. I also run a recording studio as my "day job". I use this on my vocals as well as some of our other singers vocals (live). The preamp & compressor are pretty clean and the EQ is good if you need to make a quick adjustment on the fly. I've not really messed with the mic modeling on the unit (don't need to). I mainly purchased this unit for the auto-tune feature which works GREAT for our application. We only use this on vocalists that already have great voices. It just adds the final "touch" to make them sound perfect. If your looking for the T-Pain effect, this isn't for you. This is meant to give you clean smooth vocals, and it does a great Job.
AWESOME MACHINE
TOOK A LIL BIT TO FIGURE IT OUT...BUT IN NO TIME I WAS CREATING SOME NICE VOCALS WITH IT
For the price the value stacks up
For the price this is a great buy the mic pre sounds really good and the mic modeling is great. Consider this a channel strip with Auto-Tune effect more then a pitch shifter. But after turnning some buttons I got the sound I wanted yes updates can only make it better. But I really enjoy this unit because I'm creating some great vocal sounds on the fly something that was taking me too long on the Eventide Eclipse and H7600. Two units that are loaded will effects but sometimes are tedious to program. For the price the value stacks up I'm getting great sounds from this unit on my first day but maybe that;s because I spend hours learning my gear I love it.
Not what you expect
The unit does not do the true T-Pain autotune. The unit lacks settings to provide the feature. This is also according to Tascam Tech Support. They hope to have an update out for the unit for a "midi dump file." There is no USB on the unit for a more user-friendly update. This unit is good for mic modeling and a preamp. The autotune feature, which I bought it for, does not provide the effect most people will be looking for. The new TC-Helicon C1 is great for what most people will want. It has a clean preamp and does not contain menus. It is nice enough to record with as well. Very clean and solid. Oh and it is a 1/4 of this price tag.
