Description
 
Want jaw dropping vocal sound that takes audiences over the edge. Get that sound instantly with VoiceLive 2, the ultimate floor-based vocal processor. It's more than an upgrade, it's a vocal revolution. With a completely redesigned user interface, VoiceLive 2 is easy to use whether you’re looking for one preset or a creative sequence of sounds for every song. Whether you play guitar, a MIDI keyboard or no instrument at all, VoiceLive 2 has brilliant vocal harmonies for you. VoiceLive 2 contains virtually all the effects necessary to produce any vocal sounds of decades past, and into the future. Like a great audio engineer, VoiceLive 2 listens to you and adjusts to make your voice sound smooth and produced. It also has the most complete connectivity of any vocal floor processor to date.

Now it’s easier than ever to lead your own vocal backup group and sound rich and authentically human at the same time. It starts with a guitar, MIDI keyboard or aux-input controlled vocal harmony algorithm with four intervals, each of which can be unison-doubled or 8 discrete voices controlled by your MIDI keyboard playing. And when you want to tap into your gospel soul, there’s the completely new Choir algorithm that creates the massive multi-voice group vocal sound to bring home those memorable choruses. When you’re worrying about parameter settings, you spend less time focusing on your music so we’ve automated several of VoiceLive 2’s features. 

Auto Mic Gain – now you can set the mic gain from a standing position just by singing. Once this is done there are no knobs to be jostled in transit and you can still do manual tweaks if you want to. Auto Gate – Feedback a problem? An all new Auto Gate listens to you and adjusts to reduce feedback and effects leak-through while you’re not singing. Adaptive Tone – A single push of the Tone button engages studio quality Shape EQ, compression and de-essing that adapts to the tonal range of your singing style and voice for increased impact and smoothed dynamics. Finally your live singing can have that studio polish. Reverb and Delay ducking – Increase the sustaining tail of your reverb and delay effects while carving out plenty of room for your lyrics with ducking. The level of the effects is reduced while you sing and then subtly increases after your last syllable for a paradoxical deeper ambience with enhanced intelligibility. Of course, this is all automatic – just select a ducking reverb or delay style, VoiceLive 2 does the rest.

Employ up to 4 voices of humanized unison overdubs in addition to the 8 harmony voices. This sound has been used since recording began to fatten vocals, now it’s your turn. Also expand your space – A completely new reverb algorithm envelops your voice in dense ambiences from teeny live rooms to concert halls and bright plate simulations. Don’t forget the delay block can serve to add depth or become a highlight effect whether it’s using tap tempo or tape delay styles. Mod ya later – The full µMod block brings lush chorus, slick microtuning, swooshing flange and more to the party. Those half time bridge sections never sounded more psychedelic.

Having a large chain of effects won’t do as much good if you can’t add and remove links in the chain when the mood strikes. The individual stompbox footswitches for Harmony, Doubling, µMod, Reverb, Delay and FX give you the flexibility to layer or simplify at will. Also, there’s a Shortcut footswitch that be assigned to add other interesting features such as tap tempo, harmony hold and others. There is no separation between Song mode and Preset mode as there was in the classic VoiceLive; each preset can have up to 50 steps each of which can contain a different preset or a simple modification of the main preset. Go ahead, get dirty and start creating now.

A great unit! November 10, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Madison, AL United States  
This is a great vocal effects and harmony unit.  Picks up the chords from either a guitar input, MIDI input, or even an audio device such as an iPod, so you don't have to do much programming. Really fool-proof setup as it automatically sets input volume, eq and compression.  Very realistic doubling effects, superb harmonies, great reverbs - I can't live without now that i've used it.  Appears to be very well built as well.  Buy this!

Great product! September 24, 2009
Reviewer: Kenneth Kirsh from Lexington, KY United States  
Just received my VL2 a day or so ago and absolutely love it. I do have the Harmony-G (reviewed elsewhere) and this is a big upgrade that justifies the price difference. I was able to plug this up to my stereo mixer and the sounds are amazing. One thing I could not find anywhere on the net: the unit comes with 205 presets (and you can download some Harmony-G presets into slots 206-217, TC Helicon does a good job with updating this). From there, you can copy/paste/create your own edits from 218-400 to make it your own (and leave the factory presets alone in their original position, but you could always reset the machine if you save over the first 217 presets). The other thing not explained well on the net is that the guitar fx have independent reverb and also a separate volume control. My one issue with the Harmony-G was that the automix did not always work great. With the VL2, that is not an issue at all. Very happy with this!
