This is a set of tests to compare and contrast the sound of autotune vs tc helicon's hardtune pitch correction.
Sorry my singing is not very good. Regardless both things make you sounds a little more interesting.

So good to hear someone with limited singing ability testing these pedals, kudos to you. Totally sick of hearing pitch perfect singers demo auto correct, what is the point. Have you ever tried the Mic Mechanic 2, just wondering how it would compare to the VoiceLive Play.
I have not tried that pedal yet. I think it would be quite limited. But it is a good deal for the price n has the basic three effects whih is all most people wants.
Yeah, no. He’s singing in a different key, and no autotune thing can fix that. It’ll correct to the wrong notes, which you can clearly hear.
I really didn't want to write this, because I love the fact that this dude put this video together for us, but I saw a bunch of comments asking about the auto correct.
It can't sing the song melody and correct it if it's far off.
It'll just keep it in the key it hears or what your playing through it.
The TC helicon is an excellent pedal.
Thanks again for making the video.
Keep singing dude !!!
The voice is like any instrument, more practice and you get better and better.
Honestly...
Nice voice, just have to fix the notes.
😁👍
Agreed. It only moves the note to the closest note in range. You can only set the Key signature in the harmonies not in general.
The singing had me in fits, but thanks for the demo, my fine fellow!
haha, I am not much of a singer, I try, but I usually sound more like someone who got hit n the throat with a shovel!
Thanks - helps hearing these 2 industry standards compared
Sure, glad it helped!
Not sure which is better, but leaning towards the Helicon.
Yah it's totally personal preference.
pretty good comparison! you can post edit with autotune... that's a good advantage!
What I'd like to see is a program that could fix your pitch. I think you were singing flat on purpose and I didn't hear that corrected. Can Voice Live do that?
Yah it is lower/flatter on purpose..I think the song is 1 octave higher... Unfortunately I learned it long ago in standard tuning with No Capo vs 5th feet Capo I think... Anyway the Voicelive only moves what you are singing to the closest note... It assumes you were try to sing say : D but you sang between C# and D. It does not change the actual octave as there is no real way for any of these auto tune style programed to know what octave any given song should be sung in. With that being said, you can manually edit and shift your octaves up or down in the PC AutoTune you can shift your octaves also up or down in the TC Helicon... But it stays there so not quite what you are looking for.
Hi dude! I have a question for you about the Tc Helicon! Have you tried “country tune” and “natural tune”? Which of those do you thing sounds more natural? Thank you brother!
Natural tune and i think chromatic sound the least processed. "Country Gliss" still sounds pretty good. It is the "Pop" that sounds obviously autotuned to the max.
@@newcastlemusicstudios cheers man! Really appreciate it!
Last question! Do you think “TC helicon voice live play” is one of the best pedals for tune in live?
Also, the “harmony” section has to be on the right key if I want the tune sound good right? Even if the “harmony” section is off?
@@TERSON yes u can set the key signature in the Harmony section. Itll likely help!
@@newcastlemusicstudios but will cromatic adjust to root note ??? also u can set chromatic 4 al in setup
Did you set the hard tune in the right key because some of the notes sound off
Autotune definitely, the Tc Helicon will jump to the closest note, so if you are a few steps off, it wont help. I dont think the Tc helicon is vert accurate. You can set the key to auto or choose but still often sounds off... especially if you suck at singing like I do. If you are a decent singer but just a little off itll sound much better.
@@newcastlemusicstudios so you can't set the scale like you can with autotune? Like in my daw if you're off key it'll just jump the next not in that scale.
So can you not actually pick the key? It just does it for you? Wanted to use this along side backing tracks but dont want them to be plugged into it
It's a bit strange really.
Unlike other pedals there is no specific MENU EFFECT just for Key Choice.
Instead the Pith Correction is devoid of any way to select a Key.
However under the Harmony Selection you can Choose your Key on the right Side.
Which I am assuming also effecta the pitch correction. Otherwise it just goes to the Note you are songing closest too.
Whih honestly is the BIGGEST FAIL of what is otherwise My Favorite Vocal Pedal.
There is a C1 which I made a quick sloppy video about.
Chaining them together would be ideal. Obviously thats another $125 Cost.
Dude you can’t sing but good demo 👍🏼
the struggle is real ! I tried
@@newcastlemusicstudios keep at it I was way worse than you and now I am passable on some songs!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Any reason for posting this comment? Very asshole ish
молодец
If I have am using a different effect such as Gorgeous Hall (7) or others on the Voiceplay, doesn't that autotune as well? THANKS
Well it depends. If you choose a Preset, it will only play whatever is on that preset. (7) Gorgeous Hall has the Reverb turned on, so it would not have the autotune effect. However, you can push the 3rd button down on the Left called "EFFECTS" then use the right Arrow button to go over to "Hardtune," then push down MIX Button then use the black turn knob in the middle to Turn ON the Hardtune Effect. You can then also go back to the Black turn knob and choose which specific type of autotune you want,, i.e. POP, Country Gliss, Rboto, natural, chromatic. when you have it set, Push down Back button to return to main preset screen.
CLICK "store" to Save the added effect in Gorgeous Hall or it will erase the modification once you unplug the unit. and if u dont want it saved, dont click store and it will revert to the original preset once unplugged.
@@newcastlemusicstudios THANK YOU for this exact description! For an average singer trying to improve or sound less "pitchy", which hardtune style would you recommend. Pop, Correct Natural, what would help without sounding robotic? THANKS AGAIN!
@@vinnykeys8146 well if you want to sound more natural you can use chromatic or natural . You can also go into the setup area and adjust the amount from say 10% effect to 100% to experiment more. You could try country gliss at 50%.. it's only obvious when u sing off key by a lot. You can also use the functions in the Hardtune on the top right to adjust how many decibels are added or taken away from the effect to fine tune the sound you are looking for. For me, it depends on each song ... Some songs I can sing close to the notes and some songs I am way off so I adjust for each differently.
so basically in both cases it is off key. not sure what to do with that.
Neither are never fully on key. It depends how good you are at singing. I am not much of a singer. If in fact you are very close to hitting every note but just a little off... the tuning effect will have any easier time adjusting the note. If your notes are all over the place it will possibly move to the closest note on the Scale rather than the desire note.
Can you set the key you need? Or is it always chromatic
You can only set the key in the harmony section. You cannot set it like normal in the actual hardtune area. Literally my only dislike about the pedal!!
@@newcastlemusicstudios That's too bad :/
Which one i can buy
I would buy the TC Helicon Voicelive Play. You can use it for Home Recording bring it to a studio or use it Live.
you should of set the key manually in the voice live
How do you set the scale?
Push the MENU Button. Scroll down to pitch correction. Choose soft, hard electric or robot. Then scroll to chromatic/major*Minor. Then scroll to the actual Notes. If for example I want Cminor... Scroll to "Cm". Let me know if u need more help.
Think you can set the key in the harmony section
@@nightsociety7799 Someone else asked me that. I think they key is the same throughout. I cant seem to find a way to change it within.
Newcastle Music Studios - Nah you can def change it in the harmonies section, I saw it in another video
@@newcastlemusicstudios There's no menu button
This is just pure comedy
glad u had a laugh` lol1 thanks for watching!
These American High School Rock Crunch style of singing trying to sounds intense... Europe just can't.
Lol ok
I know u can sing better the. That
