The Ultimate Voicelive3 Extreme Tutorial - 4 - Steps

[@groversheffield3753]

Adding my thanks to you, Tim, for your excellent VL3E tutorials. Your explanation of using the STEP function here is VERY appreciated.

[@travishampton7567]

Thank you for these. By far the most professional/useful tutorials I've seen. Please continue the series. I would particularly like to know more about adding background tracks and pre-programming effects at different parts of the song.

[@malditoklee]

Working on one for you now ;)

[@catpeterson4577]

Again, very clear. Appreciated! KEEP MAKING VL3X tutorials! You're a natural.

[@Eddyvnhln5150]

Agreed please share knowledge

[@alexchubbymclynn6060]

Your tutorials are priceless! I use them all the time as a reference. I own VL3X, love it, but the manual book is too thick to read and your explanations are straight forward, short and understandable! Thank you! Carry on. I crew with some demands from the comments with regard to looper - it would be of great help!

[@mikebryant4146]

Thanks for these super helpful videos. I’ve just bought one of these and its helping more than the manual!

[@mtatini]

great video. One thing that is crucial to point out (people get frustrated with this) - is that once you have your steps, they become individual presets within a preset - thus, needing to be saved separately if you modify them. In other words, if you go to step 3, change something, then go back, check it out, like it, and save the main preset, you will NOT save the mod in that step - unless you are ON THAT SCREEN. Save each step as you modify them. Cheers!

[@MrAndyGB]

Thank you , thank you, thank you so much Bishop Bautista for this. I have learned more from this than from watching all of the the tc helicon videos. Please keep up the good work !

[@Biffstation]

Thank you so much, your delivery style is excellent, I will apply these principles. Please continue to make these TCHVL3 vids. God Bless You!

[@Raven2702]

Thank you, really helpful! Just got my VL3X and without some help I think I'd be lost :D Waiting for the next lessons, keep it up! ;)

[@malditoklee]

Raphi Z thank you! I just posted a backing track video , check it out :)

[@tomarnebrandsegg4041]

Thank you very much for creating these excellent tutorials. Please do more tutorials on Voicelive 3 Extreme. I’m about to buy one, but I want to understand as much as I can on how it works, and if I actually can use it ;-)

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

OMG thankyou. I so needed this info. You made my day fine sir. respect!

[@Scessions]

Man this is what I needed thank you so much, I do a freestyle platform and want to have my go to's but scrolling was too much and this will help! These are very informative and I learned a FEW different things...I'm gonna master this as a vocalist and make some tutorials myself soon

[@miker2702]

Great overview thanks, Would be great if you done a basic setup connecting equipment. I’m having so much trouble with feedback using a MP75 tc helicon microphone an acoustic guitar connected to a Roland cube street x amp . Not sure how to get it right.

[@joakimwarneryd8786]

Super thanks for great tutorials. Please jeep the coming. It is a perfekt way to cut corners and get ready fast. Therese is tons of possibilities but i want to learn fast. Therefore, Please upload more.

[@wallacenock7423]

Thanks so much i always battled to understand my VL3X properly with regards to the Steps.

[@SAMZ.123]

Thanks for your videos... great help!!! keep them coming!!!!

[@NOTYOURPUPPETSOFFICIAL]

Hi, could you tell me why there is a slight delay when I press the step button? Could you tell me how to fix that?

[@lorenzowoodmusic]

Great videos man. Well made and easy to understand. Could you do a video explaining levels of presets like if you had presets for different guitar or vocals in step and then you want those to be nested in song presets that you would use the preset buttons to change? I’m not quite clear on that

[@JaranehNova]

These are great tutorials! Thank you so much!!

[@donnyroxlive]

purchased a unit a few weeks ago...it has a large learning curve, the videos help although a step by step is needed by me at least to fully take advantage and fully customize this unit's looping capabilities, let alone everything else...in conjunction with the switch-6 for sensible access for use...lots of trial and error time instead of plugin, program, perform, get paid for solo applications...i would gladly PAY to get my questions answered to get the ball rolling asap...thank you

[@pyannaguy4361]

I'm looking for somebody I can pay by the hour to sit with me & let me video & write down they're doing, one or two moves at a time. I'm not utterly tech clue-less, but I'm having a hard time getting traction with this unit. Good luck! If you find an easier more focused actual beginner tutorial & you get a minute, could you pass along a link? Thanks!

[@michaelwend]

Where can I purchase artist presets for this unit. I am interested in Ramblin Man -Allman Brothers guitar harmonies(end of song)?

[@JimHoy-Rockstar]

These are outstanding! Thank you!!

[@fuzzyip]

Does the TC Helicon Voicelive 3 extreme have compression settings for ratio, attack, knee, threshold, and release for the vocals?

[@sidewalkssteamin]

Thanks so much! Great tutorial. ❤️

[@terrybonner7662]

I appreciate your instructions. This could be the beginning of your video manual. There is a demand for it!! I'd buy it.

[@jilas3in1]

Thank you Bishop. I have a Vl3x for a year. This machine is a long learning time. Thank you for your help

[@malditoklee]

jilas3in1 glad your finding them helpful I’m planning to record a couple more this weekend ;)

[@yannickwilde]

awesome tutorials - please keep them coming!

[@tronlady1]

So thorough, well explained and well made :o)

[@albert_ters]

Hello big thanks for your Videos .. please can i know if when singing my voice will be directly corrected ? (Auto tuned) ? please i really need to know this . big thanks .

[@pyannaguy4361]

Just wonder if anyone is using the VL3X with a keyboard rather than guitar. Is there a way I can input my Korg Kronos so the VL3X can access the chords for key for VOCALS BUT NOT have the VL3X modify the Keyboard sounds? The Kronos needs no help. Can I bypass?

[@Eddyvnhln5150]

Would love to hear the result after stepping love to see mapping with hearing it it’s lot like stepping except you can pick part of song your placing the step into …so 6 years later are you using this still???

[@gkiss2030]

@Bishop Bautista In terms of sound quality, this or the VoiceLive Play GTX?

[@tsot9837]

Thanks for the tutorial. I just got the vl3x and the tutorials are very helpful. The manual is a bit hard to follow.

[@rickhoyt7398]

Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial.

[@kayngelhall2]

How come when I am in the "all genres" setting, my presets are missing 255-490?

[@TheMassLion]

does anyone know how to delete a step once you want to get rid of it?

[@zackellymuso]

Gday Bishop, mate if you assign another preset as a Step (let's say the actual Patch is #1 and #7 is assigned as a step to #1), if I make any modifications to the step preset (i.e. preset #7), does it change the original settings in the original Patch (#7) or does it modify the original #7 wiith it's own unique paremetres just while being used as a step in preset #1. Point being can #7 be used as a standalone preset in it's own capacity with it's own paremeters when used as #7, however have multiple "variations" of #7 depending on which other presets nominate #7 as a step (i.e. can #7 be used with multiple other presets and have it's paremeters tweeked slightly differently for each of the other presets, OR so they all simply have to "tolerate" the same paremeters as set by the original #7 baser preset.

[@electricblue73]

If you have 5 steps within a preset, can you scroll backwards to get to a prior step instead of scrolling forward. For example if you are on step 5 and wanted to quickly go back to step 4, can I scroll backwards to step 4 with one button click instead of making 4 button clicks to get back to step 4?

[@Itsmypureworld]

Question: Can the looper be set to record guitar only even while you’re singing through the mic? Or would it record both?

[@malditoklee]

You sure can, you just need to change the record input to guitar only and not guitar and mic. ;) Cheers

[@dani_commodore64]

Hi, your video help me a lot but I have a problem. The idea of ​​using a Step is because in the same song I have a part with distorted sound on guitar and the voice effect in “double” and then, in the part of the chorus I change to clean sound and at the same time I put the “Harmony effect” ”In the voice (this example is for the song Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd). I use the step because in a quick change by pressing a single button I modify the guitar and voice effect at the same time, but there is a small delay when i press the button and the sound of the guitar changes, is not instantaneous, it does not work for me. Let's see if you have any ideas or suggestions ... Thank you!!!

[@fenderblues1744]

Can you say how to remove the steps after creating them.

[@EduardoEspinoza-n2h]

Hi, it has an acoustic simulator lie boss ac3?

[@nickalex9186]

The Nick , excellent tutorial please demonstrate the looper . Your the only person that has made it simple and logical ,the other people are into their thing and are not very good at teaching how this thing works. thanks so much.

[@leslieengland3095]

Please show us how to set the switch 6 pedal, you are fantastic-

[@hadrianjaybagat1066]

Hello sir Bishop, why my Vl3x dont have sweetest bass and body rez preset? Can i download that presets?

[@malditoklee]

Hadrianjay Bagat Yes of course, you can download them using the voicelive, voice support application.

[@hadrianjaybagat1066]

@@malditoklee thanks for the reply 😁

[@Artattaxe]

Great videos. Please make more!!

[@electricblue73]

Hi Bishop, can you build loops in sections (intro, verse, pre chorus, chorus, bridge, etc...) and put them in order to create a whole song in the looper? All videos I see demoing the looper just shows one loop and not different loops in series. Do you have any vids that show how this can be done? I'm thinking about getting one if this can be done on the VL3x. Thanks!

[@mrblues1981]

pls can you help ,how can i use the step into loopin ? i saw in someones video as he dont hold for loop 3 sec ,he just press step and loop option start and when he hit double ,comp turn into a bass guitar ,manual book wont explain anything and im really strugglin , lol

[@malditoklee]

If I understand your question properly, I think your referring to setting up the unit to use a one button looper function. If so, can assign the desired foot switch to trigger one button looping. To assigned the one button looper to a switch, I'll outline mapping to the step button, but it is the same for any switch. Select 'setup->footswitch->step button function', set this to one button looper. Here's another example for you. So basically you will want to 1. go into the layer you want to work with Guitar/vocal then scroll to "Button Map", then select the button you want to assign to the one button looper. Then using the radial dial assign the foot switch to 1 button looper (1BUTTLOOPER). now that foot switch will turn the looper on and off without need to go into the looper layer. Hope this helps!

[@ozzyf3918]

Just bought one, thank you for this!

[@gerimayawhyte154]

Your instructional videos for the Voicelive 3(X) are the most simple and straight forward ones out there. Why don't you have one for the looper?

[@EnmandsBand1]

is there any differences between using steps and just using different presets placed after each other?

by the way, yes please i would really appreciate if you can keep on creating videos for vl3x. thank you

[@mrryan7475]

Can you help me please, I'm having volume problems with this device

[@lexit100]

This is so helpful! Thanx

[@jerusaleao2579]

id like to know how thats possible while i am using an effect in my voice number 3 i setup my guitar to effect number 4 and use them simultaneously ? how do i do that? thanks

[@malditoklee]

Jerusa Leão You can create a preset (for example number five) that has the voice preset three and the guitar effects four on it. Then just switch to Preset five when you need that combination.

[@TheWesscott]

Do you know anyone that does online tutoring of vl3e ?

[@MrMrDeeCee]

My vl3x is breaking down often. Anyone’s breaking? Buttons fail, screen flickers, random reboots. Been to the repair shop once already. Is this a ‘thing’ with the model? Thanks for any feedback. And thanks Bishop for the video. Very good indeed and much needed. I can’t stand watching those irritating pricks from Tc Helicon channel. Good on you. 🙌

[@davidwatchesyoutube247]

Buy another, put yours in that box, return it, get your refund. good as new.

[@montazownianr1]

Can I apply guitar effects into vocal? Can I copy effects from guitar to vocal with editor?

[@malditoklee]

The guitar and vocal effects share a couple of effect types like reverb, modulation and delay but have unique effects as well specific to guitar like (amp modeling for example) versus the vocal layer that has things like harmony and pitch correction FX or vocals.

[@ryandeag]

Hi, is it possible to add a step between steps, for example, if i forgot to enter a step between steps 1 and 2, could i add another step between?

[@jilas3in1]

Hi Ryan, I'm going to take a stab at this if you don't mind. I found your question interesting as I was thinking kind of the same thing. I would think that if I forgot to add a step, I would first have to learn how to erase the step (s). For instance, say you had 5 steps in your song. You just found out that step 3 should be step 4, step 4 should be 5, etc. I would go to the correct step, erase what was there, and enter the correct step, then do the same throughout your song. Does that make sense?

[@ryandeag]

@@jilas3in1 Thank you, this is essentially what i did, but it's long winded and super time consuming. As i have complex settings, meaning i had to go through each step and write down what i did, to then re enter them all again. This pedal is great, but it feels like they thought way to much about things we might need, and forgot about the simple things we do need

[@tronlady1]

Please do a tutorial on the looper in serial mode? Please please please 🙏

[@alexandersharp5275]

HOW DO YOU DELETE A STEP?!

[@TheMusicPro]

Please make a video on how to copy patches. Thank you.

[@officialWWM]

Are these really designed for the solo performer? I see a lot of people using them solo but not with bands :/

[@malditoklee]

Darren Turner Hi Darren, I use it for solo work and when I work in a duo mainly. I also use it when I’m playing in a band and not needing the looper features. if you’re just looking for an FX processor, there’s probably a better option. but if you want a multi-effects processor and looper, this is probably the best bet.

[@officialWWM]

Bishop Bautista I have the Play Electric which is similar without all the extra bells and whistles but the guitar sounds are average. Maybe I should just keep that and get the Helix or Headrush. Thanks for your honesty :)

[@terrybonner7662]

One application for a band may be to route the keyboard or guitar through the device with no effects while using the vocal effects for the background or lead vocals. The instrument will establish the key changes. Maybe someone talks about using it in this manner and what challenges there may be.

[@SuchaDoofus]

Learning this device is not unlike doing a PhD. 3 years just isnt enough

[@pyannaguy4361]

DON'T feel lonely! I'm no beginner; I'm 18 months into owning this gadget BUT it's spent the bulk of the time on the shelf. SO much of the vocabulary in the window is alien & I'm not averse to making adjustments...my Korg Kronos required plenty of that. I'm in one of the phases where it's back out, wired-up & challenging me to learn. We'll see what happens. Bishop's good!

[@EEGIII-ROCKS]

I hold that step button and nothing happens... ????

[@EEGIII-ROCKS]

Well, I fixed the issue... I learned how to factory reset the entire system and it worked....

[@adin200]

thank you ..

[@sergecharron584]

[@Aston3422]

Hey Bishop, great videos! I need some help importing loops. When I press the store button I only get the optiyon yo "Track Import" and I can't find the "Loop Import". I made the USB FAT32 and put the WAV loops in a VL3_Loops folder but I can't seem to get any further. Would appreciate any help.

[@Ebbrush3]

the screen sucks

[@malditoklee]

LOL

[@cositasensitios5717]

i get dizzy, you could explain it better

[@pyannaguy4361]

Right? This is sort of a beginner lesson? It starts with: "OK, so you've laid down a bass line...Let's move on and.. etc. " YIKES!! I've had mine for ten days or so - it gets scarier every time I sit down with it. I'm watching the calendar for my 30-day return deadline...I'll hate to do it.. but if I can't pay somebody to come & run it for me while I video what they're doing..?

[@joeandrew5861]

To much explaining and I have not heard on single demonstration about a real nice harmonize,,,,I mean to really harmonize with vocals,,,,,,I AM NOT A GUITAR PLAYER
