WOW, that was a great demo of this unit. I just bought one today and I was looking for demos so I can easily figure this machine out. YOU really helped me...THX So So Much !!!
Well Jen, it appears to be unanimous that you are the review Queen of this product and I'm guessing many more. I wasn't really in the market to get one, I just wanted to see what the Perform V was all about but now I'm gonna have to purchase one because you explained everything perfectly and you made me want one. Merry Christmas to me huh? Haha....GREAT JOB!!

Definitely the best review of this product I've seen done. Seeing all of this, I'm pleased that I did not buy one. There are a lot of mixed reviews on this product. I didn't like the pitch correction. Highly unnatural sound.

You can also connect to an iPhone using a camera connection kit or an android phone using an USB OTG cable. Also the latest firmware allows you to dim the brightness
I've watched many of the video's on this unit (which I have) but she does the best of explaining how to operate the unit. And by the way I do love the Perform VK.
Steven Schillinger thanks for your comment Steven and we’re glad you enjoyed the video. We agree, the perform VK is a great unit also. Thanks for watching and remember to subscribe.
you have the unit as a send or something so that so the original signal is rubbing against the effected signal (they are running in parallel). You can tell because when in "talk" mode you're having phase/flange effects. The pitch correction demonstration is especially hard to judge because typically you would have this unit entirely "wet" and wouldn't here the chorusing effect of a tuned and untuned vocal playing simultaneously. Nice review style but I really think you might want to do this over. It's just unfair to the product (which may or may not stink- I have no idea).
I look forwards to trying this. I need something to help - not mask - as I feel my way back into fronting bands (been relegated to lead guitar for decades:). A sensible and astute review. It shows how we must sing with the voice we have yet whoever designed this effects unit knew what any singer might require. I'm sure pitch would interfere with vibrato - the one thing singing coaches tell us can help if our singing isn't always on key and it somehow improves tonal quality (it works on guitar too). Having a guitar in hand means I'll let the sound-person do all the switching; but it seems all the fixes we were trying to wring out of the PA are in this box...
Alex Oliver thanks Alex, were glad you enjoyed the review. It’s a great unit and certainly has been a big help to singers st some of our shows. If you’re looking for one we would suggest getting down to your local TC Helicon retailer and try one out. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for watching!
Hah, thank you - no need for me to go shopping. The drummer just got one. As it happens we have gigs and studio work coming up; will let you know how it went if you like.
Great demo, ive been using for a while but no instructions other than googleing so your demo is very informative, You can adjust the Brightness but i cant remember how to do it ...
i wanna buy one but still got some questions in my mind. So in the case that u must to perform and u don't have time for settiings,is the device able to save the settings without being connected to electricity? if yes,for how long?
Hi Kedar. hanks for your question. The unit does have an AUX input but we can't recall whether that's only for headphone monitoring as we can't imagine it is fed through to the mic out and into the system you are using. It would be easier to do the following. plug your mic into the mic in on the unit, then a lead from the mic out too you mixing desk etc, and then plug your tracks into the system separately. hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Thanks for your comment Sean. This is a review of everything that comes in the box. The unit does not ship with a foot switch, and as with an AUX input its clear what these would do. We also a have a separate video to show its integration with the app. Thanks for watching and let us know if theres anything else you would like to see su try out.
Good questions, my guess is that chainlinking a couple of pedals will get you a modular version of this. However this box is optimized for portable use, which might actually impact the quality compared to the options of the stomp boxes which are specialized in 1 effect per box. So far I have only seen one movie where someone chainlinked a couple of stomp boxes and it worked just fine.
@@urbnctrl my main thinking for the individual pedals is that it seems like it would be easier to switch between effects. For instance how easily can you add _distortion and pitch correction_ to your voice and then switch back to just _reverb?_
Hi Music is Life, thanks for watching, seems you've got this confused with the VG or VK. they have a harmony option. the V only has doubling, reverb and echo. thanks
somebody help me..my perfm v efect is suddenly got louder for 1 second..it suddenly happen when used it..how this happen??..pliss respon ASAP if anyone can explain..
Hi, thats strange. we aren't sure why that would be happening for you but try giving TC's customer service line a call for your region as they are really great with any questions or issues you may have.
@@jammstudiosmusic yes bos..its just happen..suddenly..how can i mange tu record it..the tchnical service want some video proof about that trouble shoot..how can i do it..im on singing..it happen suddenly...im so infected if always happen..it was an embarassing momment when i got showcase..
@@jammstudiosmusic it happen when i sing in high note..i try too not to closed between the mic n my mouth when i hit high note..but..it still happen..what a frustated..damn shitt!!!...
greenrobot5 hi greenrobot5, thanks for your comment. It has a wide range of effects especially when teamed up with the apps. One of them does sound a bit robotic. Bear in mind this is the base model in the perform V range so only has a small amount of effects. I would suggest looking at some bigger TC products for better harmony options but the doubling is very good on this model. Hope that helps and thanks for watching
Hey! Does somebody try this with mca100 adapter? I have purchase the adapter and it does not work like mp75 mic that I also have.Please give me the answer
Hi there, I have a question, Does the TC-Helicon Perform-V or TC-Helicon Perform-Vg work like an Interface? Does a good quality work in analog to digital and digital to analog conversion? wich one do you recommend me the most? thank you
Hi Greenrobot5 thanks for your message. We had a little trouble on the first attempt as well. here's a link to another video we did about the app and the beaming technology.ruclips.net/video/MK8uC5Dll28W/видео.htmle did find that we had to hold the phone quite close to the front right hand corner of the unit where there was a little hole that is a microphone specially for the beaming so it takes a few attempts to get used to it.Hope this helps and make sure to subscribe for more!
jammstudiosmusic yes, I've seen that video too and tried many ways and nothing. I was thinking about updating the perform v through the USB port but I've read people saying that updating messes with other functions of the pedal
greenrobot5 that’s very strange. We use ours every day in vocal lessons and have had no issues with it since figuring out how to do the beaming. I would suggest contacting TC’s customer support they are very accessible and always really helpful
Why are you changing your own intonation/ voice type when activating an effect? If you want to show ACTUAL effect then your own voice should remain unchanged.
Thanks for your comment John, the aim of the demonstrations was to show what would be happening in a performance situation, so changing between intonation and techniques and voice styles. We didn't think doing it any other way would give a rounded approach but we shall bear this in mind for any other products we review. thanks for watching!

Hi Murthy, thanks for your comment. In theory yes you could use this unit with your Veena, you would need a Jack to XLR cable to ensure you can get from the pick up to the unit as the unit only has XLR input and output.

Please tell me more about your experience with the pitch correction
It always imparts a sharply robotic type of sound to my voice, almost like using a keyboard. Very unnatural.
@@fredacuneo5180 Thank you
The whole thing sounds unnatural!
Some people like the unnatural sound and it’s part of there music you can just turn it off 😂

Thanks John, glad the video was useful.
Este aparatito ya es mas potente y suena mejor que cualquier otro que haya salido ayer... y tiene mas de 5 años en el mercado
Does it also work with wireless mics as well?
Hi , very good review but you didn't talk about vocal harmonies effects on the unit.
Best tutorial!!!! Thanks so much 🥰
I just bought one. Should be arriving in my studio in a couple of days.
How do you like it? I'm looking to get this or else some of their Voicetone pedals but can't decide on which to get.

Talking through an effect is not useful: I wish people would sing to demo the effects
Exactly!
Great review, thanks!
Thanks dear, love it, regards from Australia
Great demo, ive been using for a while but no instructions other than googleing so your demo is very informative, You can adjust the Brightness but i cant remember how to do it ...
Very good demo and discussion. Great job!
What the hell! There are like 10 different boxes from tc alone that all do the same stuff! I'm going nuts
Vt3 or vt4 has almost all the helicon boxes in 1 unit.
great review and even better voice! great work! ;-)
There is a foot switch also to change live.
Does this do male and female voices or does it just depend on your voice?
You guys think it is nice for use on a saxophone? (I am used to the Boss VE-20 and Boss VE-5)
Can you use without a piano ?
Super helpful, thank you!
i wanna buy one but still got some questions in my mind. So in the case that u must to perform and u don't have time for settiings,is the device able to save the settings without being connected to electricity? if yes,for how long?
Such a great review!
What are you a radio announcer. Used an RC 30 Dual Track, attempting to upgrade. Does anybody know the differences and whether TC is a better series?
Strange, the Perform-Vk does harmonies where this one is only doubling. I'm not sure the Vk can do doubling?
Hi Team,
I am a Karaoke singer, so how will I connect my laptop to this unit for Track out put and also my mic?
Hi Kedar. hanks for your question.

Awesome review, certainly helped me make up my mind :)
I'm going with the vt3 or vt4 . It has so much more to offer in the effects department.
Awesome review thank you!!!
That pitch correction is a little t-pain isn’t it. Thanks for the review
Can it be use on a console mixer with the aux send and return?
excelente video amigo saludos desde tijuana mx la musica nos une
Dumb question but can I plug the unit straight into my PA speaker via and XLR cable?
If it has built in amplification, yes!
Great Demo. I just wish it had more than 3/6 presets.
Tap it to the "Crochet"!!
thank you for this video :) im gonna get me one of these :D
Hello, Im seriously considering this unit. I have a Mic Mechanic-2, but this is a much more versatile unit. How is it for heavy rock/punk vocals?
here legit 4 years too late *TODAY* but i have also just bought one lol
Where can i buy this?
This device is good for Karaoke?
How comw nobody ever demos the freeky robotron settings?
can u connect with a bluetooth headphones?
Good review, but not a full review at all. Is there a good review that shows foot switch operation? Or the AUX-in function?
