Review TC Helicon Voicelive 3

[@daningram3143]

Great job man! I found one of these at a sale that had never been opened. 9 years old, crazy.. your video helped immensely!! Thank you!

[@tronlady1]

He says he’s not a looping genius but this is one of the best looper demos on YT. I’ve been deliberating over this and the RC 300 for literally years and I think this demo has sold the TC to me!! This thing is so bloody well designed and easy to use by the looks of things And it looks as though there is no bending down at all to change settings😍

[@TomCulic]

I bought my VL3 from the US as a demo model.After plugging in I could not get all the presets to come up.It took me 12 months to realise that the VL3 was locked on to the Harmony presets ONLY.It was your review here that prompted me to go into the Genre button and that's when I saw the other presets appear.All along I thought I had a dodgy unit I was going to sell it at a big loss.But you've saved the day.Thanks.

[@csharpminorseven]

Really useful (and maybe the best VoiceLive 3) demo James - thanks a bunch for making it...

[@Ston247]

Thank you for NOT talking my head off. Excellent demo of the available sounds and functions.

[@Preston_M.]

Kudos, This is the best review for a guitarist I've seen for this product. Not just a vocal processor.

[@TheBlueRage]

Thanks so much for showing how everything connects. Everyone goes straight to the sounds.

[@FilmBizDude]

You should be getting a commission of sales: Your demo sold me on this product and I just purchased one :)

[@richiemartin5813]

Thanks James, best demo I have seen of the Voicelive 3. Will be looking into my local music shop come middle of May when they will have the Extreme in stock.

[@RosieAddison]

Really enjoyed this review James, I've been watching heaps of these Voicelive 3 video's and yours is great - a good mix of talking & playing which we need to see! Thanks :-)

[@siddcoutto]

I've owned a voicelive 3 for almost a year, and use it regularly as a vocal processor, acoustic guitar processor and as a looper. But your review made me want to plug my electric guitar in. Finally. Good job. You've saved me the trouble of buying a flyrig 5.

[@БогданІгнатов]

sidd coutto what a difference between this and extreme?

[@rastaboogie]

great demo!! just the right amount of information and actual "demo-ing". Hope to see more from you.

[@garrymartin2726]

best review learned more in 22 min than all the other reviews i have watched. thanks

[@Doru-Mihai]

This video is absolutely the best demo for the Voicelive 3 on the Internet. Congratulations James! May I suggest you to do a similar demo for the new version of Voicelive 3 Extreme?

[@RosssRoyce]

This pedal is simply amazing! I have the previous version, can even split my voice by the use of midi keyboard, keying the desired harmonics. The quality of the TC is the best!

[@basieburger4938]

Great effects. Sal möre uit check. 👍👌

[@johnnyr11111]

Just bought this incredible machine. I've only scratched the surface but it is a game changer. Great review. Thank you

[@tigerwolf8338]

You cracked me up several times, man. Really good demo!

[@robertclarkguitar]

That amazing pink floyd bit on a few songs here made me want one.

[@Wsharp3]

Best demo of the VL3 - and I have just watched most of them

[@byroncjohnston1]

I agree. Have not watched all the demos but this is the best so far. Good work. VERY PROFESSIONAL!

[@john-di1mz]

ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!!! Gotta get me one of these....thankyou so much

[@charlespeasleyjr9281]

I just bought one,and your video was very informative,I learned a lot quick from you,thanks for the tips.

[@M1K3K30GH]

Excellent review and demo James, there's so much to this unit it should satisfy most maybe not all. I've used it in rehearsal but not live yet as it is so hot it needs taming a bit. The guitar effects are as can be expected from TC, and very tweak able. The vocal processing is amazing and lots of fun too.👍😎🎸🎤

[@get_like_ryan3544]

can you adjust the the mix of the harmonies to push them further in the back?

[@alancpl912]

Best review I've seen for the Voicelive 3.

[@fuserproducer]

absolutely tremendous piece of gear very useful for vocal and guitar parts:)Thanks for another one great review James

[@shawnshipstad739]

gREAT JOB, YOU MAKE THE UNIT SOUND FANTASTIC. tHANK YOU!

[@leesf]

That was genuinely cool; a lot of work went into making this video. Thanks.

[@Parmesana]

I could listen to you play for hours

[@Profartiste]

Very good demonstration... very talented !

[@LanzaMartineta]

Your making it sound easy, truthfully is it? Great presentation

[@bonifer100]

Thanks a lott for show this fantastic Device 💐🙏😭🎸👍👍👍⚘

[@MannyLeyva]

Excellent review! one of the best ones here in KZbin world.

[@JoeyOMusic]

Fabulous job! Very inspiring! Thank you!

[@bonzo1928]

A great review and demo, thanks that is one hell of a unit!!

[@carlosfuzz]

19:11 that's me in the morning after night of heavy drinking

[@neobx2]

Great review the people at TC should send you a free VL3 extreme to review

[@DatAnydex]

Excellent video! btw ... I'm pretty sure it's you doing the vocal percussion on the Africa song by Toto with the rest of the choir / accapella group.

[@modruzvirgil8052]

voicelive 3 is fantastic BUT you are also fantastic! thanks! Yesterday I bought it and already you did teach me some things for use it!

[@badcatmediagroup]

Fantastic video James!

[@MarvelJAM]

It would be nice to record/re-amp via USB with a DAW. There are tons of great effects

[@MISTAMUSIK]

dope I'm getting one. Pretty nice to be old technology

[@1357973328]

Very great, sir this your show here, woow. Right here watching da ROMA con AMOR! See you around here back onto my vlog.

[@sjftech]

Looks really good James. Got me wanting to go out and buy a talkbox now haha.

[@user-en5vx3cb5e]

Can we play mp3,wave files from voice live 3 ? ( vithout voice track )

[@narco73]

There's an audio input he points out near the beginning, so you'd plug in an mp3 player there. I think (but I'm not sure) that the "extreme" version can play back from internally.

[@notme5145]

Is there a Talkbox effect that works only by singing and without playing the notes on an instrument?

[@franknaude707]

Great demo...best I have seen.

[@gerlar67]

I've lost my manual and haven't used my VL3 for a few years. The thing is I can't remember who to set it up to my PA. I have powered speakers and a mixer. Do I need a mixer or can i just link the VL3 to my speakers. Thanksfor your help in advance.

[@Andreyhollywood]

Hello. Tell me please. VOICELIVE 3 EXTREME surpasses VOICELIVE 2 by a lot in terms of vocal effects and their quality

[@livefromthepsy-op1170]

Definitely

[@anayv11]

excellent video! Subscribed and liked!!

[@LFOVCF]

I bet Helicon loves your demo, it's brilliant!

[@onpoint1180]

Awsome review looks like you touched on everything!

[@zealforhumnity]

A+++ world class demo

[@zealforhumnity]

Tc helicon so should send you a check because you’re like 100 times better demoing this unit tha company guys are. They almost unsold the unit they were so bad.

[@bmusic10]

great demo! the Elvis patch was great!

[@paulmazurek3608]

Excellent Demo 👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶 thanks

[@thepastelwaves5465]

Can you create a loop and save it in the machine so you can use it anytime and just adjust the speed with the metronome

[@vincysigma]

Awesome Demo. would like to by one.

[@RasvetDushi]

Hi guys!) I just recently bought a TC Helicon Voicelive3. I like it very much,but I recently uploaded a new firmware update 2.0.01 buld 326. There in the guitar effects, when you turn the wah wah, there's three manual mode, touch and auto. Now on touch wah wax works very well in other versions of works.Even when the GENRE BLUES folder is not available. In short ,what you have not finished this firmware and I want the previous version of firmware! current how and where to download them??? The upgrade program offers current latest version. TELL ME WHAT TO DO???

[@surfguitarshredder]

Your take on Summer of 69 was quite good!

[@eraniel146]

how optional is the keyboard being connected to it? please! thanks

[@narco73]

Very.

[@valentinegarcilazo2019]

I have one of these things, and I do know you can do all of that

[@juanzuoza1647]

It has lots of problems, just have a look at several sites. No quality tests at all before selling them. It resets itself, blank screens appears, suddenly it flashes. I´m really angry. The few minutes it worked sounded great, but it is absolutely unstable. Jus check for helicon forums. Not recommended at all.

[@pyannaguy]

Same problem...I'm having to return mine. Like yours, it worked for a few minutes, then "lost its mind" - just locked into the logo showing in the window with the word "loading..." down in the corner - FOREVER. The AC adaptor is shaky.

[@juanzuoza1647]

HI, I had to send it back to the seller and they sent me a new one that works perfectly. I hope it keeps working fine. This bad experience makes me doubt about reliability. A hugh!

[@pyannaguy]

I'm returning mine today, and still debating about ordering another one. I have ONE big party coming up in a month, and if this thing would fail on me after all the work of learning & designating settings for different songs, etc...? ...in front of 100 people? Oh, NO!!

[@juanzuoza1647]

Well, that was mentioned by some people. I hope Roland, Zoom or Digitech would offer a similar product soon. They have very good ones, though very limited in footswitches functions..

[@rahjuwow]

Yeah, confirm that! Repeated problems with it failing to start up and blanking out. Expensive and unreliable as hell.

[@winstondsouza3177]

liked your review!!!

[@IntheDAW]

I want this like im buying this next pay check

[@michaelaxel7107]

Nice demo

[@TeresaBarrozo]

Can it harmonize my voice if I use a midi keyboard instead of a guitar? The only connection I have in my keyboard is USB which connects to my computer.

[@Studio_C_CRAVEN_MUSIC]

Is there a way to change the titles of Presets or to copy presets from one to another? i.e. I have corona drive on present 209 and want it to be on present 1. The idea is to eventually have my whole set list for each song 1-48, listed chronologically, so all I have to do to get through the night is to click once to forward to the next song...

[@ArashPakzad]

Great Demo! really didn't know you can sing this good! keep up ;-)

[@musicboy2003]

H

[@raynaldomartine]

Thanks James for an entertaining as well as informative review. Even my wife got a kick out of it (not a musician). You answered more for me than the Sweetwater video. Mine arrives in 3 more days. Are you in the US?

[@JESUStheATHEIST1]

just bought one,any tip on a preset for a david gilmour, comfortably numb lead preset?

[@byroncjohnston1]

Very Good presentation

[@snootcity]

How do you remove the original vocals and leave only the processed vocal sound?

[@JasonBayley]

Hey, fantastic video! It sold me on the unit! I've got my VL3 now and I've been having fun singing live, but the guitar has been difficult to find the right settings for. I would also like to record the sound. I'm looking to buy some gear, audio interface or channel strip of sorts. Can you tell me your hardware setup (i.e. the preamp or compressor prior or post VL3), and any internal VL3 settings you may have noted? I'm also interested in which guitar output cables you used (the green ones). Lastly, any post-processing plugins/presets? Thanks.

[@danielkinney6325]

THAT ECHO WAS AWESOME. OMG

[@PaPaPeeMD]

Bro if you need repairs on your VL3 where do we go ????

[@discokillers8674]

Hi James. For Voice live 3. Is there a way to mute the lead vocal and allow only a harmony come through? I tried turning the lead off to allow an octave higher harmony come through. Despite turning it off I still hear the lead vocal come through quietly through the mix? Is it possible to cut the lead vocal out completely where it can't be heard? Thank you in advance!

[@TheTrumanZoo]

cool stuff man, rock on.

[@arnielewis9744]

My brother plays league guitar and reel them and I’m just a singer but I understand electronics Ferley well would like to know if I could use the TC helicon voice live three in making police songs such as brown eyed girl Memphis mountain of love how hard would it be

[@ayannels]

What kind of items you have to have to start signing with effects, and loops and all stuff besides Voicelive and a voice talent what you need to have? I want to make a studio for myself in future, just wondering and learning what you need to buy besides that voicelive, good microphone, and ?? I will not need an instrument. I meant just what items, cords, and all stuff you need to make it? Please answer who knows

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Can you play acoustic also and sound good, or do you need the other acoustic version of Voice Live?

[@mimoochodom2684]

Anyone know of a good vocal processor that has just delay, reverb , harmony and doubler without all the fanfare of TCH3?

[@andym7333]

mannnnn help did u get a mix u liked coming from your vl headphone didint quite find a setting yet ???i have the music coming in the aux and headphone to the iem system

[@purplepick5388]

Wow , gotta get one of these

[@neobx2]

Do you hear the effects in your IEM ?

[@TheRealSuperwiesel]

So you can plug it into an guitar amp and a voice speaker?

[@stiiffyrabbit]

3:20 - why is the MIDI In port flashing?

[@coriandrew]

woah what an amazing device

[@SammyMakepeace]

Can you have a different effect on vocal than on guitar?

[@Bigchurchmusic]

First class review.

[@boabglen]

Can I go out from midi on this to kaoss pad and it would become the slave to the kp3? Also, can I add an external tap to this so I can tap the tempo of the song in and then that bpm gets sent to voicelive and kaoss pad?

[@MusicTherapyUSA]

Great review. Thanks!

[@Marcos1000Buarque]

Seria maravilhoso se pudessem fazer um vídeo legendado. O brasileiro aqui, agradece.

[@milosgrujic7228]

In this case u are using 4 outputs to mixer(2 for voice and 2 gitare )and u can hear all of things including efects but what if I what to practise witouth mixer or pa,just using vl3 and headphones only as output(my mic and guitare will be pluged in)?Can i hear all of voice guitare,metronome,loops and all efects on my headphones?Please someone of users help me.Video that u create is fantastic and very helpful...

[@snehashisbasu4061]

10:58 to 11:24.. the delay effects are just surreal!

[@tanyadepoalo9085]

Does every vocal effect have to include harmonies? Or some weird sound? Can you just have a nice voice doubling effect to give your vocal more umph? Also can you just use this separate for vocals without plugging in guitar?

[@kiskadar69]

Save a lot of money, and buy a TC-Helicon Duplicator.

[@danielkinney6325]

AWESOME JOB MATE

[@turgaydursun]

Thank you bro.. Good rewiew

[@PeterDunbar]

Hey sir, great video. Question, how do you get the screen of the VL3 to show up on the video? I’m trying to do some instructional videos and the screen will not record on camera die to brightness I believe.. many thanks!

[@jeremymurray-wakefield8011]

Make sure the device is in a very well-lit area and the screen won't burn out on the camera

[@urolderbrother]

so no need for a Mic Pre?

[@narco73]

No, built in.

[@RobertLofrano]

Do they make one just for vocals?

[@ELIAHOficial]

Does it works with acoustic guitar ?
