Ease of Use:
A Little Learning Curve, though I have not used it for Recording, the live performance aspect is unreal! If you don't have this product and you are a singer... you are really missing out on making even the best singers sound even better. A Must Have! J. McCall

Feature:
Has about everything you can ask for. The only thing I would ask for is different MIC outputs and for a BETTER VOCODER. If it had these I would say its the perfect touch to a studio.

Quality:
Sounds great, built great, I havent had any trouble with it (yet).

Value:
PRICE WISE------Way way to MUCH!!!!!!! I mean really. WHY WOULD IT COST $799. I mean it does do A LOT. BUT $799, are you serious. Well they are because that’s what I paid for it. Anyway the price is a JOKE.

Desirability:
I really really wanted it. Obviously, because I complained about the price yet still bought it. Would I do it again? Yes because I still love it. I just think the price is insane.

Sound:
Sounds AWESOME! You can really change your voice and give it that extra unique sound to it. In my case my voice is everyting and I love what this can do to it.

Ease of Use:
At first I was like this SUCKS. NOT EASY AT ALL. You need to read the confusing manual and mess around with it (A LOT). I've had it for aout a month and I'm still learning how to use it. I have not even touched everything it has to offer. It will take time.

Support:
I havent needed to use support YET.

Overall:
The PRICE and manual brings the rating down. i think they should provide a CD/DVD manual, something that goes more into detail. If the price wasnt SO STUPID, and manual was easier to understand I would give this a 10, easy. again THE PRICE IS NOT WORTH IT. but it is fun and like I said I love it.

Feature:
IMO all of the features are useless except 3rd up harmony in scale mode.

Quality:
The user interface would make Steve Jobs cry. There are tons of useless parameters to tweak, none of which make a noticeable difference, especially within a pop or rock mix.

Value:
I use products from Spectrasonics, duy dad, NI, Mackie, Neumann, Avalon, FxPansion, Waves, PSP. These are world class products. This product is not in the same class but is priced for this class.

Desirability:
A harmonizer is product that just about everyone wants. The Eventide is too expensive for most project studios. The hype on this product was good. A+ for TC marketing folks. Too bad TC engineering failed. However, I do acknowledge the difficulty in making such a product...so nice try but no cigar.

Sound:
I bought this product for the harmonizer. Everything else about this box is useless to me. I use Waves and Antares plugs for my ptich correction and effects processing. IMO there is only one useful preset on this box...only ONE!!! That is an $800 preset!!!!! That preset/function is the scale mode 3rd up. That's all I could make sound fair. Any voice below the lead sounds horrible. Any voice above a 3rd sounds horrible. I totally agree with others that the manual is crap. Totally useless. For me, however, I have worked with so many different products that I was able to figure out. But don't bother. The micro parameter adjustments to the harmony model are so subtle that you would never notice a difference unless you solo the voice...something you don't ever want to do given the quality. I downloaded Antares Harmony Engine. Much easier to use. It also only sounds good on a 3rd up, but I could get a comparable sound to the VoiceworksPLS in 5 seconds AND it costs 1/2 the price!!

Ease of Use:
Incredibly difficult.

Support:
Nope.

Overall:
I have requested an RMA from Zzsounds. Enough said.

Feature:
There is a learning curve to the unit, but so what. It would really be great if it had some way of turning off a voice as needed.

Quality:
Appears well built. Very nice.

Value:
A little pricy but I still would buy it.

Desirability:
This is the best harmonizer out there for the money in my opnion. It sounds awesome when set up right.

Sound:
I can't beleive from the other reviews that I own the same unit. This equioment works great. It has great sounding harmonies, however the trick is to wire in stereo. I have used the thing live many times and it works flawless.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to get voices to work. The use of MIDI is the easeast and best way to use this product. Just MIDI plug into a keyboard and all your harmonies will follow the song.

Support:
Customer service, I have no problems so I don't know

Overall:
As of right now I could'nt think of using anything elese

Feature:
Has a lot of features but it is extremely difficult to use them. Changes in setting don't seem to make any difference.

Quality:
It looks nice and appears to be well made.

Value:
I really am sorry about buying this things for 800 bucks!

Desirability:
They did a really really good job of selling it!

Sound:
Two setting were good.

Ease of Use:
Very bad owner's manual.

Support:
They were very slow in getting back to me.

Overall:
After I purchased it I was excited to get going on it. It was impossible. The owner's manual is really really poor! Controls don't seem to make much difference. I found one or two settings that were good; however, I paid 800 for two settings. This is expensive. They really need to work on this product and improve its usefulness.

Overall:
Very difficult 2 use and the manual is no help. They put me on hold when I called and I got sick of waiting for 7 minutes. They should get some feedback from customers before they hard wire these types of equipment.
