IK Multimedia Releases VocaLive for iPad

IK Multimedia announces that VocaLive, the performing and recording vocal processor for iOS, is now available as an iPad app for download from the iTunes App Store.

VocaLive for iPad takes the processing app for the iPhone and iPod touch and adds a fourth effect slot to the signal processing chain, and two of those effect slots can hold the specific “vocal effects” compared to just one vocal effect per chain on the iPhone version. The preset browser is also available in the main window of the interface. The Favourites section has been expanded from 4 to 40 in the iPad version utilizing a new bank button. Favourites put presets right in the bottom panel on large buttons for loading of the artist’s most-used settings.

 

VocaLive can be used on stage or a mobile studio location with IK’s iRig MIC, the handheld condenser microphone for iPad. The iRig MIC’s Dual mini-jack connector allows monitoring on headphones, speakers, mixers and PAs.


VocaLive can also be used to record quick ideas using the built-in iPad mic or with earbuds that have a built-in mic.

The included audio recorder of VocaLive for iPad can be expanded to an 8-track mobile studio with volume, pan, insert effects and two send levels for each track along with a master effects section with with Reverb, Chorus and Delay for track sends, and a global parametric EQ and compressor for final mastering. You can use the “Apply FX” feature to change the sound of your recorded vocals and instruments without having to re-record them.

 

VocaLive provides vocalists with a suite of 12 vocal effects. The effects can be combined into a chain of four processors and saved as presets. A collection of 50 factory Presets is included. User presets can be stored, and their number is limited only by the available memory of the iPad itself.

 

VocaLive includes 5 Vocal Effects – Pitch Fix (for tuning correction or stylized quantization FX), Choir (a 3-part harmonizer), Morph (an X-Y pitch and formant shifter that changes the tonal quality of the voice from subtle deepening to radical gender bending), De-Esser, and Double (Double effect gets unlocked by registering) – along with 7 Studio Effects – Reverb, Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter.
