Thank you Tim. Very well done video. I look forward to viewing your other videos . . . all the features of the VL3X are almost overwhelming . . you make it look simple enough for even an old guy to comprehend!

[@johnnyr11111]

Great video. I’ve had this great machine for a while but learning curve was frustrating. With posts like this I’m diving back in. Looking forward to many more vids. Thanks much 🎸🎸🎸

[@tronlady1]

Oh my!!!! I can’t imagine how long it took to set up all these vocal and guitar presets for every song and near the end you tell us we can have them for free holy shit!!!! You’re too good! Sooooooooo very clever how “on song” selects presets so you can concentrate on your performance 🙏🤩😍.

[@tjthompson4728]

I can’t thank you enough!! Started working on a pub solo thing and trying to figure out songs, get the right gear etc. huge huge help!

Wow very informational I have subscribed I just got my vlx3 a couple months ago thanks for the video

[@tronlady1]

I was in awe all the way though this! I have a VL3 and I keep procrastinating with setting up just a few patches!! Then you said TRON pedal......WOW. Then you said u have a 400 song repertoire.....holy shit!!!! THEN.....the laminated song menu did me in 🤪

[@TimDoyleMusic]

I HAD to laugh! I thought you went to my house and stole my setup! Beat buddy, Bose, TC VL3, and Onsong. I JUST bought the Extreme 3. you are doing a fantastic job doing the "Working man's" tutorial. I don't care how to build the thing, I need to use it, live in two weeks! You are fast tracking it for me quite well. Thanks for the time that you put into the videos.

7:46 Love the song list idea. I have adopted it myself and also added my PayPal & Venmo info on there. Like I always say with cash tips: You're request has a much better chance of being played when it's written on a $20 bill. hahaha I don't bother laminating mine though. I have a color laser printer and can print tons of them out quickly and cheaply. I have my website and all my social media info on there as well, so I encourage people to take it home with them.

[@germain3588]

Hey Tim, I'll be switching over to OnSong in the new year as the program I'm using right now for my lyrics is ok but not great. I will then watch this video and follow your set up steps on how to make it work with my VL3. Thanks for this video.

I appreciate the time you have taken to put all of this together. Well done. I too use the Mel 9 for some of the Gordon Lightfoot tunes. It also works well with R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" and The Church's "Under the Milky Way". I can't wait to incorporate the VL3X into my songs. Peace

great tutorial!.. thanks!

[@pyannaguy4361]

Utterly AMAZING! Wow! Mine's an $800 paperweight! I never got any traction w/that gadget. Learning curve was a greased flagpole for me & every attempt at a learning session just ended in frustration.. There's was so much technical stuff & micro-editing options & I'd sit there flustered , asking, "Uh, how do I turn my mike up?" LOL Seriously, Great work, Man! I'm impressed! Wish I had your tech skills, patience & fortitude!

[@MattBrodeurMusic]

Mine has been a dust collecting paperweight for a few years now too. I've been using my TC Helicon PlayAcoustic live because it's simpler and I have a decent sound dialed in. But I just get overwhelmed with EVERYTHING the VL3 can do and I want to do it ALL! I recently sat down with my VL3 and tried to stay focused on one objective - building a decent guitar sound for my acoustic. I hooked it up to VoiceSupport2 and backed up all the presets I had. Then I loaded each of the bonus packs and went through every single one of them just listening for any guitar sounds that sounded interesting and took notes. When that was all done I loaded all the "interesting" ones onto my VL3 and then pulled them up in the 3rd party VoiceLive editor so I could get a good visual representation of how each preset was built and picked a few different ones and dialed them in a bit for my specific guitar. I plan on doing the same with some of my electrics and then with vocals. I basically want just those 3 or 4 go-to sounds that will work with 90% of the songs I do and then a few song specific ones.

[@pyannaguy4361]

@@MattBrodeurMusic Matt, I admire your patience & determination. Each time you post it makes me wanna sit down & take a focussed approach & divide & conquer (well, conquer's too strong a word - it's SUCH a complex device!) and stick with it!. It's good to look over the comments and see that I'm not the only one who's gotten intimidated during learning sessions w/the VLX3. Let's keep going & sharing tips & insights! Thanks!

[@Robynloveshred]

Great Video Thanks for posting. I'm mostly a guitar player and have guitar uploads under the thejmillsband.Does this have auto pitch correction? I just purchased one yet to open it. I have older voiceworks rackmount.So if you play and use the footswitches it can remember them?You're old I'm 65 nearly 66 used to run 2.5 hours a week and yoga 1 hour but back issues hopefully I can put more into music. Thanks again for explaining things as I am more of a button pusher.

Hi Tim, very nice videos! Thanks for sharing all your learnings with us! Question on the Dropbox link: it gave me an error and told me to ask you for access. Can you pls help me?

[@EnmandsBand1]

thanks, that's a great setup. I play solo with mp3 backing and a midi track for feeding a TC Voiceworks with Midi chords for harmony voices but it's getting old and I wonder if the Voicelive extreme would be a higher quality voice effects chain. Do you know if it can do harmony voices if you feed it with Midi chords?

[@egyeniboldogulas6305]

HI, it is really useful video. Please, give me the type of the midi cable to connect to Ipod. I have found 2m USB to MIDI Interface Converter Cable, but with different adapter types: Adapt Y7E6; Adapt L8N4; Adapt A9N1! Are there any differences? I think yes, but which one do you reccomend to use?

[@marcosgava4801]

hello alright, i would like to know if you can use the expression or volume pedal to control the backing track, thanks

[@AlexisVearUpFront]

Your videos have been soooooo helpful!!! Thanks you so much for posting!!! Do you know how I can set this up to feed through my Scarlett 2i2 for doing a live stream?>

[@DavidSagedy-nq6bt]

How do you get backing tracks ? Thx

[@jilas3in1]

Hi Tim, Thank you for your tutorials. What a great job you did! Question: I love the Mel B pedal. Where is it in the chain? Would you happen to have a chart of how everything is laid out? Even your Bose setup (I too have the Bose)? Thanks again!

[@VLX3-timpendergrass]

I go direct from my acoustic into the Mel pedal, out to the guitar in on the VL3x, for outputs I go out of VL3x XLR to 1/4" into the Bose, I bought cables just for this, very easy, no external mixer needed, when I have both L1 Bose, I send out in stereo

Gday Tim, mate I've recorded my backing tracks to run with IEMs. I have the cues and click on the Right and the music on the Left. Struggling to work out how to set up the VL3X to play the cues and click in my headphones only (not through FOH). Thoughts?

[@AlexisVearUpFront]

Does do you know how to connect an ear monitor for click track that is in sync with the backing track using the voice live 3 extreme? I want to hear the click without the audience hearing it. Thanks for any help!!! Also, I tried to answer your reply about the scarlet but the question dissapeared. The Scarlett is an interface. You run your mic and guitar through it into your computer's Daw then output to OBS and then OBS connects to Facebook Live, Twitch, You tube, etc.... Hoping you can help me with this click track question. Love your videos. Thank you again!!! Hope you can help me with this!!!

Hey I'm trying to join my Voicelive to Ableton Live. I have it midi sync and everything. What I want to do is something similar to what you've done. I want to control the Voicelive buttons via Ableton in written automation. For example, so I can have the harmony hit on/off via Ableton. Any ideas?

Hello Tim I’m interested in copying your first 3 - 4 presents because I have no time to learn all the tricks I need it to do just simple harmony in some parts of the songs I play. Also I noticed mine has a plastic digital sound layer of my regular voice with the mic with no effects is that normal with the pedal or there is a way to just switch off the “auto tune” i think is working in the background. Please do if you could share your first 4 setups I would really appreciate. Thanks

Any chance you could send a link or direct me to where you found how to connect the OnSong app to your vl3x. I’ve used onsong for a long time.

No it doesn’t, I programmed the hit b[it ton to turn page and most of my pdf music sheets are 1-3 pages, if I have a backing track, I can program harmonies, and page turns

Have issue with VL3X. All the effects disappeared audio wise on every patch throughout the unit. Even with factory reset the effects still a no-show but show up on menu. I contacted TC Helicon through their useless site for service they NEVER got back to me. Do you know if this is a adjustment issue or has this basically unused $800 piece metal crashed and need repair?

Is it maybe something to do with that feature that uses a particular patch as a global template? See page 14 of the manual.....

press the genre and setup button at the same time to start and to end. recordings only last 2 hours for one file, also if you power down before finalizing, you will lose the file.

[@jimmcmanus7132]

HI , if you have a VL3 preset for each song then you are limited to number of presets available on VL3? Great Video.

[@timpendergrass6640]

I assume so, I have about 92 songs saved with tracks as pre sets, if I don't have a backing track, I just trigger it to go to one of the 3 harmony presets that I like, lower third, upper third and both.

[@MattBrodeurMusic]

But there are 500 presets available. And then if you factor in "Steps" that multiplies it even more.
