[@jedlee2194]

2:20 the camera change was so unnecessary but made the vid better 😂

“You might start off with your own mic at least it doesn’t smell like somebody else’s armpit” ...😂😂😂

[@brianmcghee9313]

😂😂 got my own mic 10 years ago and never looked back for that exact reason lol

[@mdub2000]

As a sound guy it makes sense when your carrying mic a-lot of the time if your hands are full they go right into your arm pits😷

[@jamesarmann9083]

That's right, sound men don't act like the singer's opinion or their preferences are worth even considering. Shape up sound men!

[@kalibfaltys3367]

This video was super helpful! I'd love to ask some more questions if anyone is still following this comment section. If you know anything about performing with vocal delay, pitch shifting vocals, and how to do those and still be courteous to whomever is running sound at a show where you're performing please let me know.

[@AM-rf3zn]

Excellent video, great explanation! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@KevsGuide]

but what devices do you recommend? and whats the best settings?

[@samtieng4084]

what about if we have 2 mics?

[@Donnytheeboy]

Do I need a mixer or can I just use the xlr mic with the pedal

[@AdrianClement]

Greetings Craig Faser! So you by chance more videos with tips on this topic. Or can I ask you a few questions about an upcoming event ill be performing at. Can I email you my questions?

[@nightlensphoto]

Is that vocal prossesor working with a wireless microphone like shure sm58??

[@trentmbell]

Wouldn’t it be better to connect the vocal processor via the aux send and returns on the mixer so the sound guy can adjust the amount of processing?

[@unshackledsailing950]

sorta defeats the purpose of having your own sound processing pedal in the first place.

[@Maribelrodriguezlacantante]

awesome thank you !!!

[@kqandthesoundtrip7636]

Oh, that's good information. I thought you set the PA. Volume first and then connect the processor.

[@SammyMakepeace]

Okay, simple, kinda obvious. How about this one. I have two bv mics I wanna hook up through one of these vox processors. How do I do that? Do I go the route of having another smaller mixer on stage and send/ret the vocals into the processor, then back into the foh mixer ?

[@jessehutchings]

I'm starting to think all I need to sing is a mic, processor and a personal sound system .. ?

[@chris1978nl]

so can i use this as: mic - effect processer - audio interface (roland ua-33)?

[@Rouwiinator]

should work but there's a difference between Line level and mic level. Basically Mic Level is a really weak signal which is why microphones have to go into some sort of preamp. This would be the vocal processor in the first place. Now the vocal processor surely won't send at the same level as the mic so you will have to lower the input gain on your audio interface. If the signal still would be clipping if you adjust the output of the fx processor and the input gain of the mic input of the processor you should try a line level input on your audio interface.

[@davinwilliams3948]

Good stuff!

[@sanjuhamirpara3084]

Your mixer name. Plz...

[@neobx2]

Craig is a U2 fan

[@stephenl5354]

This told me nothing I didn't already know.

[@michaeltrees6872]

Scenario #3....there's none at all.....Dry as a bone. Which sounds terrible.

[@ageshero]

Eeeewwww, arm pit mic

[@zackjoseph9127]

Jean-Luc Thomas love it when i use a house mic and it smells like im holding a fucking onion under my nose.

[@derks0]

this told me nothing..

[@mcblahflooper94]

Then you probably don't sing live

[@Ryan-nj5ue]

This pedal is garbage don't buy it,,,,adds noise to signal chaing.
