” Performance video recorder”: That’s cool. Maybe the trolls will find a new place to hang out. I’ve been yearning for a gender-bending effect on iOS. Gonna give this a try since my wife won’t let me have female vocalists hang out upstairs.
How does this differ from what they offer with their hardware voice processors like the VoiceLive? It looks like they’ve ported over most of the tools.
Also – it looks like IK’s Vocal Live competition is pushing the issues.
It beats the hell out of the lame looper in their hardware.
But doesn’t have the MIDI and audio controlled harmonizing that the hardware does.
It’s an interesting development – an iPad app should be able to meet the needs of 90% of the people that use dedicated hardware systems like VoiceLive, just like the iPad killed off interest in the hardware Lemur controller.
It seems like TC would be smart to dive in 100%. MIDI control works fine on iOS, so you have to wonder if they are trying to protect their hardware market.
It differs by a couple hundred bucks.
Hell yeh it does brah!!!!!
I’ve been wanting to grab their hardware but it’s too expensive. But for 7 bucks as of Nov. 28 why not?
I WILL buy this… when it gets MIDI learn/ control of parameters
Can this be used as an audiobus insert effect? Might be great for recording guitars, synths with some nice TC reverb.
Yes, audiobus is supported as is interapp audio and audiocopy/paste
They feature which you full band monitor tto apply alongside to, produce yoou use
riffs and extremely commence to have the tunes. If yyou do not have
good understanding with other performers of your band, you may fail to come up with a flawless peerformance oon stage.
If you’re thinking about compresssing the sound right up until you reach tthe end, then you’ve
got the wrong idea; drag this out foor as long as you possible can.
Does this include the harmonizer effect
Bought the Voice jam studio app for my iPhone. Just bought the MP-70 mic and tc-helicon phone to microphone/headphone adaptor. I can hear the metronome when I have it in “Dry” mode, but the mic isn’t picking up at all. And I hear nothing at all if I choose another vocal effect. is there a microphone permissions setting that I can’t find?
