HI,
I am planning to buy a TC-Helicon GO XLR MINI.
I read it has a USB2 connection, but my new laptop will only have USB3 contacts.

As an example my webcam doesn't work in USB3 ports (only USB2), therefore
I wonder if there are any safe ways to get USB2 stuff to work on USB3?
And mainly that GO XLR MINI will work on modern laptops?

I just got a used VL3X, hoping to replace my Headrush Looperboard.

So far I like the vocal and guitar effects.

But my other requirement is to play over pre-made drum loops or backing tracks.  In other words, I don't really live loop. 

I follow the procedure to put the loops on a USB drive and the VL3X recognizes and I am able to import.  But it seems that each loop must be associated with an individual preset.  That's not really what I want to do.  I want to be able, on a whim, scroll the drum loops, choose one, and then play over it.  I know the Headrush and Roland products can do this.  Is it possible on the VL3X?

Also, are the loops and backing tracks stored on the unit when I remove the USB drive?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have a question - I have a Voicelive Touch (not Touch 2) and a Switch 3 - there are some options which functions can be controlled with the switch - but - can I assign them differently? I would like to switch harmony, delay and another effect with it. many thanks for the help. LG

Hi, I purchased the guitar pro and received it yesterday. Using it on my Android phone with Tonebridge gives me incredibel lag, impossible to play. I tried to connect it to my Mac for Tonbridge or Garageband. The Helicon device powers up but mac doesn't recognize it as an input device. Don't know what to do. changed cables, usb adapters, nothing helped. Thx for any advice

I regretted giving up on the Play Acoustic after I returned it. I actually bought it a 2nd time. I learned how to navigate it & really tweak my sound. But I decided that it needs a few improvements before I am willing to accept it. It was returned for a 2nd & final time. Maybe I'll get PLAY ACOUSTIC 2 when I see things fixed.

The choice of having "universal" guitar settings on/off is flawed. There needs to be a BASELINE UNIVERSAL SETTING for a guitar.

You will need to commit to using 1 guitar because the EQ settings are far too specific. Once you get the guitar set, you will love your sound but forget about another guitar sounding the same when you switch instruments. Applying them universally is great but then you can't use the other amazing guitar effects.

For preset 1 - I want slap on my guitar. Then on preset 2 I want chorus on guitar. Then Preset 3 I want some basic spring reverb. In order to create each preset for my guitar I need to enter the menu & tweak things manually over & over & over as I customize each preset's guitar section. I did this for my presets but had to take notes on paper for EQ & BodyRez advance settings.

The effective thing would be to have the basic guitar sound remain UNIVERSAL once you find what you like. Then a user can make small changes from what they identify as a usable "universal" baseline sound.

I wanted to use my Martin (with on-board Fishman aura preamp/ piezo) with this PLAY ACOUSTIC. To make it sound good I had to get down into the parametric EQ settings & BodyRez advance settings & really tweak things. It took a while becuase this onboard preamp is not very good. I had a small page of written notes to manually carry over to another preset.

I did a gig with it but my guitar sounded the same for the entire show because I just accepted the universal setting with no other guitar effects. 

 **Looper function = 2 button looper function is perfect & a major plus for this unit. The entire unit just needs better guitar EQ carry over preset to preset.

My Tc helicon voicelive play is creating a constant noise when plugged in to PA system in the live set up.I have checked it with multiple PA systems.The problem also persists while I listen to the monitoring through plugging in the headphones.

Any suggestions on how to fix it ?

Hi, all in a while my voice live 2 is'nt working. All the connections are properly made: mic cable in the Xrl input, 1/4" cable in guitar in input, xrl cable in xrl  left (mono) output which is connected to a mixer xrl fader. Well, yesterday I switched on the voice live 2 and it didn't world. I couldn't head no sounds From the PA connected to the mixer while other instruments were working good ad usual. I checked twice EVERY cable by connecting each of them directly to the mixer: mic and guitar worked. So it' s not the cables and It's not the mixer and the PA system. I even tried to solve by resetting to factory default both set up and presets but nothing. Actually it seems there's something wrong  in the input 'cause not just there's no level in the led mic but even the guitar tuner doesn' reveal any sound from guitar. Hope I explained it Well. Any suggestion?
