DigiTech Vocalist Live 4

Vocal harmony using the principle of harmonization in conjunction with an instrument (mainly guitar), ability to add 1-3 extra votes according harmonization programs pre-programmed (factory preset) or manually configurable and storable.

UTILIZATION

I did that step back for now in terms of settings pushed, since the factory presets are already numerous and can have quite a few options on hand, I do not use that for now harmonizations already created.
The instructions are clear and the menu navigation is pretty simple, the unit requires no special skills.

SOUND QUALITY

Announce as much color at once: the harmonies are incredibly realistic and I have not heard an aircraft able to compete with the Vocalist.

I use it as a guitarist and "backing vocal" to enrich the vocal parts and it is clearly ideal for this.

The harmonies in two voices (lead + harmony) are used quite frequently, by double or triple against the harmonies require a simple vocal placement, ie, avoiding too much variability and effects styles "vibes" ... etc. failing to sound too mechanical.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Vocalist Live 4 for 4 months and I think he is not ready to leave my pedal board so I found it incredibly useful.

The price / quality ratio is very good, even more opportunity where you can find it at 200 €, the price of a good guitar effects pedal.

I do it again this choice with your eyes closed!

July 2008, this is it, after a few months of use, but rarely live anyway, I remember that I am not a pro singer and guitarist very average
Once you have found all the settings are very easy to find even the record is unnecessary, and certainly should paufiner repaufiner, but it is a pleasure to use it or hear it.
As said before, despite my advanced age, I find a real pleasure to listen, or rather listen, VL 4, always set to 4 voices

Having said I had 3or 4 gear that style nothing to do with the VL4
Only regret that there is no rack, with expression pedal, but it's a detail and only the result counts,
Finished MIDI, I swapped my fender south against a US beautiful (probably my last guitar)
The GR30, Helicon Digitech and all unnecessary wiring

children soon
I just had the chance to buy this LIVE 4 on ebay, I was also the only buyer, this machine replaces my setup via MIDI guitar converter via re TC Helicon Voice Prism always happy to receive orders imprecise a MIDI guitar
However ten minutes very promptly enough to take over (65 years Papy) live4 this with precision in the voices
The multi-effect guitar it is not sufficient you always a multi-effect external
Attention as all the live voice not to put too much or they will repass harmony into the microphone
Finally damage still not be entitled to pa record intouvable in French on the Web
As soon as I paufiné I will give you the sound of the new

UTILIZATION

Hypersimple LIVE Digitech 4,
for TC Helicon it took me months to beat me out of the correct harmonies, which were also unreliable on stage
I may be too old or not good to handle such devices, but the sellers did not know more, you ask good advice nay

A more children

SOUND QUALITY

The effects look very clean, but I will say more when I have tried Live (you'd think a star the old), but in fact I've been singing since retired and the guitar for a little longer, but without false modesty I am playing very average, but I like it yet

OVERALL OPINION

10 minutes and I'm already a fan, I'll spend my Sunday is over
I sell everything at once the fender and Roland Roady leGR20 TC Helicon Voice Prism

and I bought another Start

The animal produces effects of choirs, a vote of 4 harmonizeur max adjustable at will and on adapting to change chords minor / major
4 buttons, 2 for the choice of sound banks and one to start the harmonizeur and 1 to put the effects of lead voice

It's pure digital juice, knowing digitech but which have not dismantled, I guess the motherboard has a big chip that when grilling any unwanted shoots the rack without troubleshooting possible (I had the tower with a whammy of the same brand)

while the effects are very easily editable, one finds nine main parameters (choice of preamp, compression, EQ, pitch corrector for those who can not sing and need correction, a choice of vibrato or tremolo also for those who can not sing a selection of parameters of harmonizeur 4 voices, reverb and delays and finally last, the possible effects on the guitar accompaniment, but there must not dream, it's not did for the guitar!

In matter of connections, found for the input part, an XLR and a jack for the song + an entry for an expression pedal
there is also a guitar signal input jacks and 2 outputs + 2 XLR output

pedal format makes it easy for concerts for the selection of banks

We feel that the Bécanne was thought to be effective on, plug-and-play

UTILIZATION

Personally, and given the ease of editing and saving the settings, I think that the manual is qu'annecdotique +
Simplicity I think is the great strength of live4

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are very generic but the ease of editing makes this easy and fun
those which I use mainly are the delays and reverbs and according to pieces, the harmonizer (which allows me to have a gospel choir as soon as I slap the feet!)
Not in my 2nd group votes to accompany me on the choruses, the vocalist is awesome !!!!!!!!!

The only downside is the breath that the effects emerge, so I had him add a volume pedal (the breath becomes negligible when all are instrumentals)

My voice config is: SM57 + volume + Live4 a jack of transplanting scratch guitarist

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it new in a store in the States (almost 120 euros less than the price of nine AF, tailored US-EU deducted)
The pros: ease of use, the main effects of voice easily editable and comprehensive
the -: her breath, the case is plastic and knowing the digitech products, I'm afraid when its durability, it seems that more sensitive

See previous review and documentation

UTILIZATION

Super simple, yet I did not attack the user settings but the factory settings are already cool.
You can adjust independently the output volume of the guitar, lead vocals and choruses that seem to me

The user manual is sufficient.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the first such material I use and I am amazed by the return of the voice and the speed with which they follow the chord played on guitar. Attention to the type of microphone and guitar (electric or electro-acoustic) you use ... I found that my microphone transplanting the sound of my acoustic and obviously it degrades considerably the quality of reproduction. So be sure to position the microphone and its sensitivity.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it live for a week not enough hindsight to judge him properly but I am satisfied because it is simple to use.
I have not tried other models because I took into consideration the opinions of members of Audiofanzine (thank you to contributors)
The price / quality ratio is correct. A metal frame was well regarded especially for those who use it regularly in concert ..
yes no doubt.
