    Harmony NOT tracking with any setting | Vocal Effects

    I have a TChelicon Play Acoustic which tracks very well.

    My ExtremeLive 3 doesn't want to track regardless of using MIDI in from the keyboard, Guitar in from Guitar or Roomsense or Natural Play. Nothing seems to make it see the proper chord. It does occassionally do major chords but not well. I need help.

     

    Using Global Settings:

    I've switched from everyone, MIDI, Guitar, Autosense etc. and saved after each change and even powered off and on. I've tried some of the factory harmony settings as well as my own and they all respond the same. Not usuable live.

    I've turned OFF Natural Play Roomsense etc. and gone with the above settings to see if that was confusing it. Same result.

      PedroRodrigues Hi Tom, please be aware that for the sync/backing track , you'll never get it perfect since the MET in the VL3 isn't the same as the tempo that's recorded on the track. Even if you set the tempo the same in VL3 as you know it is on the track, the two have no way to "talk" and make sure they stay in some sort of sync. You'd need MIDI clock from/to both devices for that I would suggest the use of a DAW.
      What you end up with is 2 tempos that are actually the same, but ever so slightly "off" when it comes to the beats themselves. You end up with the slight timing differences adding up over time and eventually they'll be playing on opposite down/up beats and then come back together again after more time.
      For the erase, that's common when you're using the Play button to erase.
      If you don't want the "burp" you can use the Erase button from the UTIL menu.
      The Looper level in the Mix menu affects the recorded volume of the loop, but that's global so you can't turn down one loop and then turn up the next Slot/Track.

      • Harmony NOT tracking with any setting
        ttsing4u I'm not using tracks. I was referring to using the guitar or keyboard as the source to follow (track) the chord structure for vocal harmonies. I've been watching it between songs and the song might be in A and the harmonizer sees it in which throws out horrible harmonies. Then sometimes it finds the correct key but doesn't respond to minor or major 7 chords only the major ones. I'm playing bass, wife on keyboard and even with the internal mic settings it still doesn't listen or hear the proper chords changes to keep the vocal harmonies correct.

      GillC Hi Pedro, have you ever had an issue with the older Harmony Control Guitar pedal, where all I get is this (see pic) when I connect it to my VoiceLive processor?

      I have followed religiously the set up instructions and all I get is the following on the front of the pedal. All lights illuminated in red, no ability to use the Tuner to tune my guitar, no sound through into the amp and the midi cables aren't connecting the Voice Live.

      I fear that the bank of red lights tell me something is wrong and nothing is registering at all.

      I have tried multiple 1/4 inch jack cables and two guitars, two amps and no life.

      Can you help please?



      Thanks

      Gill

        PedroRodrigues Hi Gill please try to perform a factory reset on your unit. To reset the unit, insert

        the power connector while holding the two-foot switches.

      GillC Hey Pedro, thanks for coming back to me - soooo helpful. I just wish it had worked. I got a flash of 2 green lights and then the unit returned to the red light formation above... Any other ideas? Thanks so much

      GillC Thanks so much Pedro, I am definitely using the correct power supply. :-( I live in Cape Town, South Africa - I assume there may not be TCHelicon partner able to help in SA? I also assume it is not the cable I am using to connect my guitar - does it need to be a balanced or stereo jack cable perhaps? Thanks again so much for your assistance Gill

    TC Electronic Voicelive Vocal Professor | Vocal Effects

    Hello all,

     

    I wanted to inquire about an issue I am having with my vocal pedal... I seem to have the right power supply for it (the 12 V 400 mA) and the pedal lights up indicating that it is on... although there is no output from the pedal, and turning the mic gain knob on the left of the pedal does nothing to increase volume. This is especially noticeable when I got to record vocals via my DAW using the pedal. Could this be a power supply issue or an issue within the pedal itself? If anyone has any tips or maybe a way to use the product number to have it sent and fixed/checked out that would be so helpful. 

    thanks so much,

    Zach

      WilliamR Hello, Sometimes issues like this can be cleared up with a firmware update. Make sure when you run the voice support 2 software that there are no web browsers open while you are running voice support 2 as it tends to interfere with the detection of the device.



      1. Download and install VoiceSupport2 software from here.



      https://www.tc-helicon.com/Categories/Tchelicon/Vocal/Apps/VOICESUPPORT-2/p/P0CMP/Downloads#googtrans(en|en)



      2. Connect the device to PC / Mac with USB and turn on the power.



      3. Start VoiceSupport2.



      4.VoiceSupport2 recognizes the device, and if there is the latest update, an update mark will be added to the device image.



      5. Select Update in the upper tab, click the latest firmware and try the update.

    VoiceLive Extreme Guitar Amp Hum | Voice Processors
    When I connect a guitar amp to my Voicelive there is an audible hum through the microphone channel. The guitar amp makes no humming sound. It happens even if the guitar amp is turned off. If I disconnect the power cord to the amp the hum stops. How do I solve this issue?

      kiskadar69 This topic should have been created in the TC-Helicon group.

      Can the hum be heard on the XLR output?

      1. Have you tried the GND LIFT switch?

      2. "I've had a few earthing issues before with the device and old valve amps and found using a DI box can help. The way I set it up: guitar into DI box input with a jack to jack lead, the link output on the DI box into the amp with another jack to jack lead, and then the DI out into the Play GTX with an XLR to jack lead.Although I'm going from the balanced output of the DI box into an unbalanced input on the GTX with the XLR to jack cable, it still beaks the ground loop between the Play GTX and the amp.

        PetGerbil So,you're saying that a question about VL3 Voice processor shouldn't go in the "Voice Processor" category ? Will it make the forum become dis-organised and difficult to find stuff ? :p

      PetGerbil The point being that there is no discernible indication where any posts are. Nobody's got a clue. It's only because you said, that i was aware that this was posted in the TC-E and not the TC-H part. All I can see is that this is under "Voice Processors." No matter, this post will be soon lost in the never ending fountain of Behringer Mixer questions...

      Glengo It turned out to be an issue with an unshielded snake that was too close to my QSC powered monitor.

      Hey @Calder,
      In the latest firmware for VoiceLive Touch 2 (1.2.00 build 61) the Switch-6 is indeed still supported.  Please double-check that you're running build 61 by navigating to the last page in the "Setup" menu.  In build 61, in the "Setup" menu, it's on the "System 10/13" page that you can set the "Footswitch" type to "Switch-6".  Cheers!
