As a performing musician you strive to assemble the right mix of gear to make your performances shine - but what about your voice? In the studio you polish your vocals to perfection using EQ, compression, pitch correction, harmonies and effects. VoiceLive brings your signature vocal sound on the road, putting your studio voice tools at your feet.
A studio vocal rack on stage
When you're in the studio you use great tools to get the best out of your vocal performance. You spend time auditioning mic preamps, reverbs, EQs, delays and effects to get a recording just right. With VoiceLive you have all your vocal tools in one dedicated box for live performance and control. You get the same quality processing you expect in a studio environment. The EQ, compression, delay and reverb algorithms boast renowned TC-Quality that professionals have come to expect. VoiceLive also contains the best harmony, correction and doubling algorithms from TC-Helicon's acclaimed rack mounted vocal processor, VoiceWorks.
In addition to the studio quality signal path, TC-Helicon developed and implemented VOSTM Limiter - an optical limiter optimized for voice. The analog architecture of the VOSTM Limiter ensures that you?ll never distort the mic input while maintaining premium sound quality.
The most natural sounding harmonies
Creating realistic background vocals is easy with VoiceLive. Four unique harmony logic algorithms add harmonies with varying amounts of intelligence. The harmony parts are generated from your lead voice - or if you're looking for even more punch from your harmonies, let a second singer use VoiceLive to create a multi-voice back-up ensemble
VoiceLive uses the same revolutionary technologies to generate real-time harmonies as the TC-Helicon rack-mount harmony product, VoiceWorks. Each of the four harmony voices uses the Hybrid ShiftingTM algorithm. This superior pitch-shifting algorithm is combined with a voice-trained pitch-detection algorithm and human-modeled naturalization parameters to create natural harmonies to reinforce your live performances.
Transparent Pitch Correction
Driven by TC-Helicon's voice-trained pitch-detection algorithm, VoiceLive's automatic pitch correction is the most transparent available. With factory and custom scales, the "Correct" block can fix intonation problems in any musical style. Amount, Attack and a 200-cent window control make natural pitch correction easy to achieve.
Easy Control at your feet
TC-Helicon worked with numerous performing vocal artists during the design of VoiceLive. Using the feedback from these artists and TC-Helicon's experience in vocal processing, VoiceLive was designed for easy control in any setup.
Eight foot-switches and multiple control modes make VoiceLive easy to use in your performance.
Preset Mode gives you fast hands-free access to harmony parameters like key and scale type.
Song Mode lets you select from stored songs and navigate through their steps.
Direct Mode give direct access to stored presets - It's as easy as selecting radio stations on your car radio.
Voices Mode lets you individually toggle each harmony voice on/off using the top four foot-switch buttons.

TC Helicon VoiceLive Vocal Floor Processor Reviews
9 out of 10
"Great FX stomp-box!
The Voice Live Rocks!"
Quality:
Pretty heavy-duty. Well made.
Value:
It's probably the greatest product of it's kind on the market, with no peers.It sounds great.
Desirability:
It looks cool and sounds even better!
Sound:
Best stomp-box FX for vocals to come along in a long time.
Ease of Use:
Took a little reading first.
Support:
Still haven't heard from them. I sent a number of e-mails to their site, no repsonse.
Overall:
I'm always on the look for new gear. I will keep this product unless it is broken or stolen. I probably would upgrade to a VoicePro if I lost this machine or if it died.

"A powerful device in the right hands."
Feature:
Look at the specs; everything is well done, though I wish the compression had attack and release controls (though the hard-set settings are quite good... more of a limiter-ish sound). Ohh... the instrument input... look, I play instruments that operate at the LINE level.
Quality:
The quality is great. I've really thrashed this thing (though I do have a bag for it, 12"x12"). Stomped on it, knocked it off the stage... if you're concerned about the "cosmetics" (Oh, it has scratches and looks old!) then you are not worthy of using the VoiceLive.
Value:
This product is invaluable to me; I use it onstage (and also when I'm at the console too) with a handheld condenser, and it's just fabulous. Sometimes I use as an insert for whoever's leading the song... everything's preset. It also seamlessly integrates with a midi-centric live performance with a click.
Desirability:
It doesn't look "good" and it doesn't look "bad." Your ears were made for music. If you want sex appeal, then get into art... though this device is very good at making mediocre singers (whose only strength is sex appeal) sound passable.
Sound:
The sound quality is quite good; the Burr-Brown preamp has similar circuitry to a product such as the M-Audio DMP3. It sounds very good, better than the Mackie VLZ preamps on our console, but not the preamps on the Onyx. I would use it as a line-level insert with an Onyx or A&H board. As far as the overall sounds go, "It's not the gear; it's the technique." And that is so true with this device. If all you are capable of is browsing through the presets, you will be sorely disappoitned. As most presets are, they are an exploitation of every feature the device has to offer. If you enable the fantastic pitch correction with the PROPER settings, you'll get great sound. Same goes for the EQ and the harmonies. You must spend time getting your sound right. A lot of rock'n'roll people have a problem with this device, because they do not have the mental capacity to properly use the VoiceLive. You've got to set the Vibrato right, as well as the level... You must get the wet/dry ration of the FX right (anyone who says the FX are "over the top" is obviously an idiotic guitar player/rock musician who doesn't know how to turn them down.).
Support:
The support is fantastic if you are polite and reasonable, and functioning cerebrally enough to read and comprehend the manual.
Overall:
You'll be satisfied with this product if you're smart and can figure out how to use it properly. If you're an idiot, you won't be. It's that simple. Oh, there is one thing I would change: the knobs for entering data... are a little bit strange, they aren't continuous, and if you put them in the absolute lowest/highest position, the data entry moves constantly in that direction. It takes some getting used to.
