TC Helicon

The audio from my pc while connected to my GoXLR constantly cuts out for a fraction of a second always while having 2 or more applications open with both playing sound. I have followed every suggestion software and hardware wise and my only option currently is to try to return it but I don't have the manufacturer's packaging anymore and need to file a warranty claim. Any new suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just tried running the leys into the Perform VK and then audio out to the powered speaker, however all I can get is this muffled low end sorta sound, nearly no definition. I am using mono cables.

Which leads me to think these connectors are all just stereo only. I note in the diagrams in the manual they show stereo cables.

So, are they exclusively stereo, or are they a "switching jack" whereby either a mono or stereo can be used? If it is a switching, then there is a hardware fault with my unit.

Thanks

EDIT: Just tried a stereo cable, same result, so I think the unit is faulty! I bought it brand new, but it's juts out of the warranty period. I have never had a need before today to try this, and as it was brand new it's not something I would have thought of testing when I opened it tbh...

Anyhoo, there is an issue so hopefully maybe Nic or someone else from TC can chime in here?

I just got a TC Helicon VK. I tried to connect to my Roland FP30 X via midi. However, Roland FP30 only have USB of Bluetooth midi, and VK is 5pin in. 

What can I do to connect these? 

I don't want to connect via audio jack (output will mix with piano) cause I want the output only have vocal.

Any way or gadgets or accessories can help?

We are a studio that has been working from home through the pandemic and are getting back into the studio now.  There are things that our talent has been able to do at home that they want to bring back into the studio on their return, such as the functionality of the GoXLR.  

In our studio environment, we need their microphones to go not just into their PCs but also into a main mixer for streaming.  Can the line output on the GoXLR be adapted to send out the effected mic signal and the SFX but not the audio from the PC?

Hello all,

I have a VoiceLive Play GTX and I am facing the following problem.

When I connect my guitar with my DAW, it keeps the effects applied by the GTX. There is no option to turn them off.

Is there any way to bypass the guitar effects?

Thank you

I just posted a long discussion starter about changing how the mic signal works.  But here are 2 basic questions to determine where it should go in my pedalboard and how to power it:

1. Is the instrument "thru" output a true bypass, buffered, something else?  I can't find the answer in any place I've looked.
2. An online manual and some descriptions say it needs 600mA, but my pedal says 300mA (printed right on the pedal!) and I found one online source that said the same.  I assume what is written on the pedal is correct, and that it only needs 300mA, want to be sure so I don't underpower it.

Thanks very much.

I understand that the talkbox synth is designed to also be a vocal "enhancer", but for those of us who only want to use it as an instrument effect, in-line with other pedals, is there any way to change signal flow via firmware or software to make this work?

One way I'd envision it would be have an option where the xlr out is mirrored to the 1/4" "thru" jack, and whenever this option is engaged, the microphone input signal would be muted from all outputs, and only used for formant control of the effect.

At the very least, could the mic audio muting (so it never passses through to ANY output) be implemented?  This way, a non-singer wouldn't need to have the sound operater vigilantly mute and unmute this signal to the audience.  And if the instrumentalist is also the singer, they could simply use a second mic dedicated only to controlling the talkbox.

Frankly, I can't imagine that any serious performer would want their vocals to have an effect pedal ALWAYS in their microphone's signal path, especially if they have a professional chain of high-quality mixing and processing.  As nice as your pedal is, if I were FOH or broadcast engineer for a major act, I would never want the performer's mic going first to the pedal, before feeding a multi-hundred thousand dollar mixer with tens of thousands of dollars in outboard gear. The pedal makes using rackmounted RF mic receivers impossible and also completely rules out ribbon mics, etc., with its current limited 24V max phantom power.  Therefore a second mic would always be used anyway, mooting the vocal enhancement features.

Thanks

• Since the Korg PA300 doesn't support midi and I wanted to use a Perform-VK, I would have to connect to the VK using the left and right audio jacks. My question: if I have the keyboard in split mode (left half playing accompaniment, right half playing performance), assume I'm playing a maj C7 accompaniment and a piano riff on the right half and I want a 3-part harmony (1 voice above the melody and 1 voice below the melody) would the VK be able to detect and play the the upper and lower voices?

Ok so I got a Mic Mechanic 2. It had an awful, constant background noise, an electrical noise that continued even if I turned off the mic, it was constant, no matter if the effects were on or off - the only way to stop the noise was to either turn off the volume on the speakers (and therefore my microphone too), or to completely turn off the stomp box. Moreover, the correction sounded like a "chorus" effect, it didn't work as it was supposed to, it sounded like my voice was double.

I sent it back and got a new one. This new one has the same issues. (Yes, I opened a ticket for support and I'm waiting for their reply.)

Now... I really, really like the tone effect, the echo and the reverb. And I could even use the weird correction effect as a sort of chorus, but the background noise is so loud and noticeable that the other musicians I play with immediately asked me to unplug it and agreed that there's something wrong with it. (I tried the Mic Mechanic 1 and it's amazing, great effects, the correction effect works perfectly, no background noise whatsoever. I would love to get that version of the Mic Mechanic instead of the second one! But I can't find it anywhere.)

I would love to hear from the community... did I somehow get two out of two products that had these audio issues, while the rest of the products out there sound amazing? Do you like your Mic Mechanics? Which one do you own? Did you try both? Have you ever experienced any of these audio issues? Were you able to fix them? How's your experience with the product in general?

For the technicians... do you have any tips? Should I update the stomp box somehow? 

I now have the choice to send it back and get another one, or get a full refund, and then I guess choose a completely different product since the MM1 is unavailable. I'm still undecided and that is why I'm posting this, I'm hoping to get some feedback to help me with this decision. 

(for the record yes I tried multiple times, I checked the rest of the equipment, I tried with batteries / AC as the product requires, I got other musicians to check it and when I tried the MM1 I used the same set up I had used for the MM2.)
