Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized TC Electronic and TC-Helicon dealer

The nicest and most simpatico sound engineer you will ever meet is inside VoiceTone Correct. It combines pitch correction with tone and dynamic shaping that put a recorded gloss on live singing. Sensing algorithms developed at TC-Helicon automatically adjust the recording industry techniques of multiband EQ, compression and de-essing for you, so you get the best sound with the least amount of effort.

Partner your new sound with auto-chromatic pitch correction which helps you sing more in tune, much like a metronome helps for playing in time. The miniaturization of sound engineers and vocal coaches was a challenge, but the results will surely impress you and your audience!

Sound: The sound is killer. Let me put it this way: My dry singing is fine in a group but not very good for solo work. But if I run the mic through the Correct, I sound like somebody I could listen to on a gig. My tone sounds more even, thick, and solid. The pitch is spot on. The voice sounds more authoritative. This is not just adding reverb and delay, etc., and it is very hard to describe in words. I really would suggest checking out the TCH site. NOTE: One thing, the Correct is not going to turn your sound from frog-like to prince-like, although it obviously made a big enough difference to me. It cleans up passable or good vocal technique, but the box does not come with a magic wand. Feature: The Correct is intended to be a simple product, and it was a plug and play delight for me. I inserted it between my mic and amp, adjusted the output level, and started singing. The Correct is light, compact, and rugged. It provides auto-pitch correction, adaptive compression, EQ, and de-essing. There is a mic input and dry and wet outputs (all XLR). It is adjustable if you prefer, but you can't load or save programs. You need a separate unit if you want to further process your sound with reverb, delay, distortion, or special effects (e.g., megaphone). TCH sells a companion product for this purpose, but I already have that covered with something else. I forgive the lack of features that I would insist on in other products (programmability and midi or USB connectivity) because the Correct does what I bought it to do so nicely: Improve the sound of my voice, and without any tweaking needed. Ease of Use: Like falling off a log. Simplicity seems to be part of the design philosophy of this product. Quality: I haven't had mine for long, but it seems pretty bomb-proof to me and came without any blemishes or anything. It looks pretty tight. Value: It's really hard for me to compare value because this is a very specialized product but it does one thing superbly: clean the rough edges off of my voice. How much is that worth to you? Manufacturer Support: I can't really say about support yet. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because the manual was okay, and everything else about them seems pretty cool. I haven't needed support yet. The Wow Factor: I'm not big on sex appeal unless the product is made of wood or if its a horn. I gave the Correct a 10 because it looks like a quality product, it's small, and "tasteful". You could picture it unobtrusively on a band stand in a jazz lounge. Does that turn you on? Overall: I have no plans for anything else at the moment, and no way of knowing when the next GAS attack will hit. I plan to spend a long time learning how to use this product and working on vocal technique at the same time.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "This purchase is TOTALLY worth the buy if you need vocal assistance."

Sound: The sound is exactly what's advertised, which is the reason why I was interested in this product. You get a VERY clear live sound with options of how you want it to sound. Feature: This product didn't come with any accessories, but I love the fact that it was easy to just plug in, and get to work on it. If you're not that greatest of a vocalist, I love how it works as a pitch couch for you, without others knowing you're using this option. I also like the fact that you can set your petal to what ever effect or sound you're looking for. This product is like a studio engineer working for you, so there's no need in worrying about mastered vocals. Ease of Use: Just plug it in. I love how fast the set up is. No need in worrying about if you hooked it up right or not. It's pretty self explanatory. Altering your sound to your personal taste is just a twist of a knob or even a click. It's too easy. It works great with music producing programs, and can be easily used in any home or major recording studio set up. Quality: It's built pretty strong for what I can tell so far. I've only had this product for a few days, so I hope it will have a nice life expectancy of 12 years or more. Value: This product is TOTALLY worth it's selling price. If your always out singing or using your home or a major recording studio...you will totally get your money's worth out of use. It makes me want to stay on the mic singing all day lol. Manufacturer Support: I've never dealt with this company before, so I'm no too sure about customer support. I hope they are as great as their product. The Wow Factor: this product is very sharp looking. It's small, so it don't take up space at all. I love how it has a metal body. Overall: This is actually the first product that I've heard about with the features it offers, so I really can't compare it to any other voice toner. All I know is that I'm VERY satisfied with this product, and everything thats advertised for it is correct to the T. You can trust what the box and user manuals read. This product has helped me so much with my vocals, that soon I'm sure I wont even need to use it for myself anymore. Not only does it work as a vocal coach, it also makes you feel more confident about your singing, and that's very important. I love the fact that I know I have clear studio quality vocals every time I use it. The only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that I didn't know about it sooner.
