      David Knighton Hello Albert Jan Anneveld,
      12mm should not be too thick. The upper boom should be around 16mm, and that's generally where you want to clip the unit. The mount should be somewhat flexible and might take some muscle to get it to clip in the first time or two. The manufacturer wants the fit to be really tight to ensure the unit does not slip or fall off the stand.

    No Sound From Voicelive Touch 2 | Vocal Effects

    VL Touch 2 settings were not working (I'm not very technical.. sorry).  No effects but sound was working.  I did a factory reset hoping that would fix the problem, but now there is no sound through the mic.  I did a firmware update, hoping that would work, but still no sound.  

     

    Any ideas how I can fix this?  It's probably something stupid I did to it.

     

    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

      Chris Edwards Hi Lynne, upon resetting the device and performing your firmware update have you reset all of your input parameters for the microphone? If so could you please provide further information on the type of microphone being used and any other equipment in your setup?

      Lynne Sorrenti Hi Chris... Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'm running the Touch 2 through a small board and out to a Presonus Audiobox USB and out to my PC, running Windows 10. I have a studio mic, so I guess its dynamic? (it's kind of old with no markings on it, so I'm not sure what it is... was a gift). Before I did the reset, I had sound, but most of the effects were not working, which is why I did the reset. Once that was done, there was no sound at all. That's when I did the firmware upgrade, hoping that would fix it, but it didn't. I have a Touch, which I plugged in and that's working fine, so I know it's not the mic or the other equipment. Has to be the Touch 2.

        Chris Edwards Hi Lynne, thanks for the additional information. If not yet done so i would recommend submitting a technical support ticket, upon submission if you could provide a photo of the microphone in question this will help us confirm if it is a Dynamic or Condenser microphone being used and advise accordingly.

        You can create a ticket by following this link -https://community.musictribe.com/pages/create-new-ticket?type=Technical%20Support

    Perform VG producing loud hum in amp | Vocal Effects

    I have recently purchased a Perform VG and have been loving it. However my last gig was ruined by it producing a VERY loud buzz through the amp (when I connected the mic and guitar directly to the amp they were fine but, of course, I lost the vocal harmonies). The TAB button was illuminated (a function I have never used) and I could not get it to turn off. Even after a factory reset it is still illuminated. Doea anyone have any suggestions? I hope that it does not mean that the unit is faulty as I bought it from the USA and I am in New Zealand!! Thanks for any help with this. Rex

      Pedro Rodrigues Hi Rex Can you please confirm that to reset the unit back to factory settings, press and hold the Vocal Echo and Harmony buttons while powering up?
      I presume that you are setting up the unit as per image below

      Please confirm that the cables that you are using are in good conditions and you are using the original PSU without any adaptors.
      As last point please note that using guitar THRU will mute all guitar sounds in Perform-VG. Chords will still be detected for NaturalPlay harmony, but the intent is to connect to other pedals/amps instead of hearing guitar from VG. If you change the guitar level via the MIX button while the THRU is connected, the guitar signal will become available again via both THRU and MIC OUT, should you want a dry signal for guitar in addition to the mixed vocal/guitar output. To re-mute the guitar in the MIC OUT, plug and re-plug the THRU or GUITAR IN.
      I hope this helps.

        Rex Graveley Hi Pedro, Yes, I did the factory reset as per the manual. The connections were made as in your picture (and they have worked beautifully like that up to now) with the instrument plugged into the Guitar socket. The cables were good and worked fine with no buzz when I connected them directly to the amp. I was using the original PSU.

    Connect two VL3X - "harmony transport from one to another one" | Vocal Effects

    Hi All

    I have bought two VL3X - One for lead voice, rhytm guitar, backing tracks and detect harmony and the second one for lead guitar and choir voices. I need the first one to detect harmony and send that information into second one. What connection to use ?  When i try MIDI, it does not work.

    In one of his YouTube videos, Tom Lang shows exactly the case I need - first VL3 connected into an acoustic guitar detects harmony and sends this information to another VL3 connected into a lead guitar. But it does not describe HOW the both VL3s are connected.

     

    Which way is the best ? MIDI ? Guitar thru-> AUX ? Monitor ?

    Has anyone tried it yet?

      Pedro Rodrigues Hi Pavel, please be aware that I did not find the video that you are referring to, never the less if you are using one computer for both Voice Live 3 Extreme, that will not be possible as both units, when connected, will create conflicts when accessing VOICE SUPPORT and on the audio preferences on Windows. If you use two different computer you will have the issue of sync both units, and also the issue of overconversion as the signal will be converted on the fist unit and then again on the second one. Can you send the link for the video that you mentioned?

      Pet Gerbil Either, have one guitar as the master pitch reference and split it's signal so it drives both VL3's pitch detection.(one lead goes to each VL3.) Or, have a keyboard/synth send the MIDI chords to both units via a dual midi thru box. The VL3 can't send any MIDI (I don't think) information other than patch change commands. Or, Maybe you could pipe the output of the first VL3 into the "Aux In" of the second VL3 and tell the second one to use the Aux for its pitch detection ? ( I'd like to press "Enter" here to stop this post from becoming a"Wall of text" but experience has told me that "Enter" means "Post reply straight away!!!!" on this website. So...maybe it's Shift+Enter??? )

      Ooooh it is! well look at that!! anyway where was I ?

      Are two people using the VL3's ie. you and someone else ?

      • Connect two VL3X - "harmony transport from one to another one"
        Pet Gerbil DAMMIT!!! Forgot about the "Enter" thing....

        Or, have the chords panned to one side on a backing track and feed that into the Aux in of 2nd unit.
        Or There's the "Room sense" option, which will listen through it's inbuilt mic and take it's pitch information from that.
        Or, you could program the pitch for each song.

      Nigel Turner Hi Ronny, this depends on the country that you live in, but the max power consumption specified in the Quick Start Guide for the unit is less than 14 Watts so you will have to use this in your calculation. Therefore if you are in the USA, it will be 14/110= 0.13 Amps, or UK 14/240= 0.06 Amps.

      Ronny Hughes Hi nigel in the UK, they normally have a higher milliamp draw at startup that's what i need to know . thanks

    Voicelive extreme key change in song | Vocal Effects

    Hi

    I've just bought a voicelive extreme and had a question about the automation steps in backing track playback.

    For the song living on a prayer, there is a key change at the end of the song. What is the best way to use hardtune for this? Can I use 2 different hardtune presets in one song?

     

    Thanks

      Pedro Rodrigues Hi David please be aware that on the VL3X you need to think of the Preset as a “container” for the vocal/guitar effects settings, of the Backing Track and the performance data that you have recorded.
      Accordingly, when you load the Preset, all of these components are loaded too.
      When a Backing Track is associated with a Preset, holding the “Layer” button will enter the Backing Track player, rather than the looper. From the Backing Track player, you can control playback and sequence recording for that Preset.
      When you want the “HardTune” sound, choose the “Pop” style.
      It takes some practice to sing the right way and get the most out of HardTune. Practice sliding and gliding from note to note, in order to emphasize the jumps in pitch provided by the “Pop” setting. After a while, you will be able to enhance the effect as you sing.
      When you are using HardTune with a wedge monitor or in-ear monitors (IEMs), it’s totally normal to hear some “phasing” type sounds as your natural voice interacts with the corrected voice output from VL3X.
      If you would like subtle correction that still respects any key/scale you have set for Harmony, try the “Correct Natural” style.
      To emulate some of the effects used on the Beatles recordings, try the “Gender Bender” style and turn the Gender control down a few clicks to slightly lower the sound of your voice.
      Any time the HardTune effect is active, Global Pitch Correction settings in the Setup menu are temporarily overwritten.
      When the HardTune effect is turned off, any settings from Global Pitch Correction will reactivate.
      For more information please follow the link below to access the page 103 of the VL3X manual that will provide you a more detailed information on this matter.

        • Nov 19
      • Voicelive extreme key change in song
        Pet Gerbil Yep, "Steps" are what you need., I can't precisely remember how you do it, But you set the preset how you want, Save it,then copy it to a new preset. Change just the hardtune setting on the new preset.save that.(making sure to remember what preset number it is.) Then go back to your original preset and create a step,when you do this you tell it what preset to fill the "step" slot with. (2nd preset) It's a way of having multiple presets in one preset. When you press the step button it will cycle between the steps. (It doesn't jump to the new preset,which is what i thought it did at first, It copies the contents into the first preset.) You can have multiple "steps"

    VL2 or VL3X? I want the digital in and out, but also want the extra effects | Vocal Effects

    I'm at a stalemate with my decision of what voicelive processes to get.

    Now I have actually 3 in mind

    VL2

    VL3X

    VL Rack

     

    There is an extra choir effect on the VL3X but the digital out on the VL2 & VL Rack means I can us my Audient Nero converters when using the device to monitor giving me better detail and feedback.

     

    Am I losing much if I get either the VL2 or VL Rack over the VL3X?

     

    I will be using this for studio use and do not need the loops as such because I can do that in Ableton.

    Maybe I can get a choir effect separately also ?

     

    Having the digital put means I can get a spidf corx to optical converter to also feed a Goxlr so I can stream music creation with less analog conversation.

    Or should I go with the VL3X and have another interface with digital outs for mixing and mastering?

    Having the digital outs kinda makes it simpler and then easier to do everything in one place.

     

    Anyone know why they did away with the digital ins and outs?

     

    Orrrrrr..... does anyone know if a new VL Rack is coming out in the near future?

      Pedro Rodrigues Hi Liam, thank you for your contact, for your description I would suggest the Voice Live 3 Extreme but please have in to consideration that none of these unit will allows a multitrack interaction via USB, all the units that you mentioned allow via USB a stereo signal integration . It is also important to consider that will not be possible to integrate any of these unit with another A/D/C as this will generate oversample and other issue that that will cause signal degradation among other problems. In relation to your last question please be aware that at this moment we cannot make any comments in relations to any new releases and we advise all customers to keep an eye on our social media of any updates. Thank you

      Liam Hebden huummm then my best bet is to spend less, go with a perform-vk and get another interface for the mixing and mastering stages.
      • Nov 17
    • Liam Hebden
      Liam Hebden I did want to try to keep it all to one unit, and the factor of the digital going strait in to the goxlr would mean the best possible audio translation when streaming and creating YouTube videos... I've not had a issue with the DAC before, I always make sure everything matches, but again there is no word clock and that makes a bug difference... I will have to rethink, but maybe I end up with the VoiceLive Rack... can you tell me if there is any difference in effects quality pre DAC with in comparison with the voicelive 3 extreme? apart from looping is the only thing I am losing is the choir effect? or again, have the effects themselves been upgraded in the version 3 of the voicelive series?

        Pedro Rodrigues Hi Liam please allow me to clarify that what I referred above is that is important to consider that will not be possible to integrate any of these unit with another A/D/C as this will generate oversample and other issue that that will cause signal degradation among other problems. I resume you cant use a VL3 X and a GOXLR connected to the same computer or on the same signal flow as both transform the analogue signal in digital and that will create the issues mentioned above. Please be aware that regarding the D/A/C (DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERSION) the chip used for this process is similar on both units, so there is no substantial different and effectively the VL3X offers more tools than the Voice Live Rack. Thank you

      Pedro Rodrigues Hi VBS, for this matter please try the following:
      Locate the headphone jack on the back of the VoiceLive 3 device.
      Find something small and thin that will fit inside the headphone jack.
      A jeweler’s screwdriver works well, a paperclip may be too thin and won’t work as well.
      There is a switch inside the headphone jack that needs to be pushed in at the same time the power switch is engaged. Push the screwdriver into the headphone jack until you can feel the switch push in and out. If you are having trouble finding the switch, try angling the screwdriver slightly so it is higher inside than outside.
      Once the switch has been located, push it in while powering up the VoiceLive 3. If you see the below screen, then you have successfully reached the maintenance mode.
      If the steps stated above, do not resolve this matter I would suggest following the link below to submit a assistance request so we can help you with more tools on this matter.
