Feature:
The directions are getting better to understand. I can't wait to get the harmony guitar controller. Some times in outdoor venues, it's difficult to read the panel. It seems that all read outs are like that.

Quality:
The prduct is very heavy duty. Mine did have a flaw in operation after about a month. The Service was fantastic. I had it back within 5 days fixed and ready to go. that was several years ago and it's still working fine.

Value:
This product is the highest price but there is a reason for that. It also holds it's value. It's the best most natural sounding tool ever. It's not cheezy. People are always looking around to see who's singing harmony.

Desirability:
It works. I don't want people looking at it. I want it to be invisable so people think that I'm really that good.

Sound:
The sound is great. It is a bit difficult to program if you're a Techy.

Ease of Use:
The presets are great but takes some knowledge to change.

Support:
They are great. sometimes you have to wait a while to get to talk to a tech but they will call you back and solve your problem.

Overall:
I love it that tc helicon keeps improving this product and addresses issues that the users want.

Feature:
Very slow when processing.

Quality:
Machine had glitches the first week. Changes by itself and when i stepped on it after using it for five days it would short out. My motto is any item that glitches not worth keepind so I returned it period. Has effects i already can produce.

Value:
Not worth it look for something that will last more than a week

Sound:
Kills true voice and turns it robotic

Ease of Use:
Manual sucks. Not user friendly

Support:
Took a bit but I returned before i broke it (literally)

Feature:
Lots of features but not practical with an accoustic guitar.

Quality:
A screw came loose and is rolling around inside.

Sound:
I have used the Voice Prism for live performance with no problems. I am unable to use this product because of guitar bleed into the mike no matter how I set the sensitivity gate which I am told is the only way to prevent accoustic bleeding. Also, I am unable to program the harmony latch button to harmonize when I push and off when I release. It sounds great but I am unable to use it live.

Ease of Use:
Rocket scientist?

Support:
No resolve to my problems, no walk through help and if you can't do it, you are an idiot.

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.

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.

Feature:
poor quality fx

Quality:
Seems tough and durable but just after one gig mine was scratched up from my shoe and it looks 2 years old now.

Value:
Way too much for such poor quality

Sound:
This this just sucks. Don't waste your money. You will be sorry. The harmonies are so machine like, fake sounding it is just terrible.

Support:
Seems good so far
