TC-Helicon VoiceLive Play Acoustic Effects Pedal Demo - Sweetwater Sound

[@007Elvisofnazareth]

Hi, this is a great device! I've had one for about 3 years and I have performed with it extensively. Here's my problem, maybe you can help me. The input for the guitar is supposed to be consistently green on the LED (meter) occasionally yellow, but never red. I play several styles in the course of the night, finger picking, strumming, and lots of country chicken picken. Any time I do a palm mute style rhythm the LED goes full red, unless I set the guitar input so low that it doesn't even trigger the green 80% of the time while strumming or finger picking . I wish there was compression pre FX area, I can't think of a work around other than adding a compressor to my rig before the TC Helicon. Any Ideas? Thanks!

How many guitar effects are in this one please? I loved the white version, it had so many guitar effects but they don't sell it anymore. 😢

Hallo Adam what’s the biggest differences between voice live 3 and play acoustic? Thanks

[@JasonWelchMusic]

I'm a harmonica player/singer who occasionally plays acoustic in the band. I'd love to have seperate control of my vocal effects and harmonica effects. I prefer to use an SM58 for vocals, and a seperate SM58 for harmonica, and a relatively clean signal for my Taylor. Problem is that I'm limited to one channel on the snake Honestly, a small mixer beside me, running to the house mixer would definitely do the trick. It would give me the reverb and eq that I need... but what can the voicelive play offer as an alternative approach?

[@michaelhamiltonberry6536]

Wow please mor from play acusticc so nice....

[@vidsby9]

Hi , I certainly hope you can help me with this issue. I have TC Helicon Play Acoustic for a year or more. It was a great device! Just recently, the unit acts strange. It turn on OK, but suddenly it just HANG/ FREEZE. Display is ON, but all buttons and knobs not working. Unit can not detect input sound, no output either. I tried to RESET, also updated the unit with latest firmware via VoiceSupport. The problem still happens after a couple of minutes.

[@mikeelmoretalks]

I have a question for someone. Does this require the INSTRUMENT to find the VOCAL harmony?....I want to use it in a band situation but i'm not always strumming the chords to the song but rather playing fill and color lines and notes

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Mike E. Yes, this will still work for your band situation. The VoiceLive Play also has built-in mics that pick up sound from the room and can detect the proper key from that, as well. That will allow it to track your harmonies properly whether you're playing rhythm or lead. Thanks for your interest! Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1320, [e-mail]

Hello Adam :) I have question. Is that possible to play on Play Acoustic bypassing guitar processing? Big thanks, and greeting from Poland :)

[@tomrider1976able]

Trio & Looper Sessions yes you can bypass

[@wcedgar]

Can I use it with any DAW? to record some harmony?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, WC. You can run the outputs from the Voicelive Play to the line inputs on an interface, which would allow you to record into the DAW of your choice. The main vocal and harmony will be printed on the same track so you would just have to commit to the results of both for each take. Thanks for your interest!

Do you have other video about octave

[@daveco1270]

What's the difference between this one and the TC helicon play electric?

[@martijnvandenakker803]

Let's see... The Play ELECTRIC is for ELECTRIC guitar and so the Play ACOUSTIC is for ACOUSTIC guitar... Duh...

[@brunojaime6644]

Is it possible to use switch 6 with play acoustic?

[@joesteffe6155]

What type of mixer and other amps are u using here

[@8tartz]

thanka for your sharing, may i know how to do the loops?

[@gychoi335]

Hi Thanks for this Video! I tried to connect play acoustic to my pc using USB cable but my DAW can't find TC helicon. Can you help me how to connect to DAW? Thanks:)

[@darrylt1031]

can anyone help me out......I have a GTX, and would like to record...is the GTX an interface?......or do I have to get a separate one?

[@mimoochodom2684]

I bet you're still waiting for a reply.

[@ryancohenmusic]

How long does it loop for ?

[@sfrerku]

does it have compressor?

Sebastián Frerk Yes it does!

Question - can the Genre sel

[@SHG-im9bk]

Question ... can the Genre-Favourites selection option be used to save different guitar sounds setups? Or does it just save different vocal options?

[@sweetwater]

​@@SHG-im9bk Hi, Seay. Once you have a sound dialed in, you can assign it as a preset to the Genre called Favorite. Doing that will save all the settings of the pedal. Thanks for your interest! Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1320, [e-mail]

[@goldbug1974]

It is sad that there isn't a 1/4" out for the guitar. It'd be great to be able to run this into a two channel acoustic amp like a California Blonde

[@thenotesofficial9143]

goldbug1974 ever heard of xlr -> 1/4" jack ? :) you're welcome

[@markdennis6464]

Is it me - or is the dubbing is out on the vocal??

[@boeandthelizards]

I think it's more that it sounds horrible because there's way too much of the harmony signal in that mix I agree with you it sounds terrible I'm interested to see what it would sound like if you use the pedal correctly with more of the dry signal and less of the wet.

[@davidjaxonmusic]

@@boeandthelizardsyeah I can’t find one demo of this pedal with anyone that understands “less is more”.

[@thelonelyghosts9004]

Kind of like turning yourself into an Enya

[@pjotrvanderbruggen8315]

u have latency :p

Jesus that guitar sounds horrible. Tinty Takamine

ANOTHER vocal pedal demonstrated with country music and guitar.

[@lowellirish]

What country music?? 🤣🤣

[@couchpoet1]

Let me guess... Church music?

[@Pjbelsch]

not the church music i play. that is just man...ugh.

[@steveparkins6854]

def out of sync audio and video tho :(

[@boeandthelizards]

These effects always sound terrible when people put too much of the wet signal in the mix. Sounds like a robot way too much Harmony dial it back. That is if you wanted to actually sound not horrible.

[@lowellirish]

Actually...the harmonies sound just beautiful...here, and on mine....sooooo..???

[@josephkellum1242]

Guy needs a pony tail holder.

[@GrahameHedley]

That was the worst example of body Rez i've ever seen... I've bought one of these pedals, and as for the Guitar effects, I'm not to impressed.......Maybe it is me!

[@lowellirish]

Yup. Its you.

[@TheSamShow20]

Way to much chorus.

[@fnkdrmr86]

Man...I have zero tolerance for that terrible harmonizer crap. Why not just loop you real voice to harmonize? Garbage

[@christocr]

Burn the harmonizers, by GOD! Methinks that sounds just a smidgen harmonophobic. Perhaps you should dial those unhealthy emotions back before they become a... ummm... problem.
