After 5 years with my voicelive3 I realized what happened with the clip protection and why the gain dropped drastically. OMG thank you man! Please make a Looper tutorial video. Again thanks a lot!!!
@@davidshanhun 🤦🏻♂️ hahaha I know! Yeah man how you setup you button map in a song with a lot of loops... And maybe you perform a song and explain. By the way, great quality video blog. Very pro. Congrats from Cozumel Mexico.
Hi Guys .new to the voice live 3 . I need to turn off voice clipping . I Followed instructions . But mic voice clipping not in list on my voice live . Does that mean it is off or is it hidden in another menu .any help appreciated . Steve .
Isn’t there a way to copy preset settings automatically rather than punching them in on every preset? Or am I thinking of something that is just for guitar settings??
David This video was a blessing, Just trying the Voice live 3 out. I have played guitar for 40yrs and I must say your original music , voice and guitar playing is the top tier. Best of luck in your career. Hang in there , you a a star needing a solar system.
Got my VL3 Just after release. A few years ago. New I had about a 7 year learning curve. Please keep at the, tips an tricks. Watching your tut, took at least 1 year off my learning curve. I'm certain that composers 100 years from now will still b trying to keep up with the people that put this machine together. The complicated nature of the VL3 is very difficult to figure out. Can u believe that after all these years, I'm working up the nerve to try the looper. That I would never try , without your help. Thanks.
Glad to hear that! I will start updating other video's now that I know it works. Pls just leave me a comment if there is any particular one that I haven't done yet and you wish to watch it! 😊
@@davidshanhun I'm going to start tackling it in earnest. Just been waiting for the ambition to kick in. I had a 40 year career as a broadcast engineer (retired now) so technical things are really me (a bit rare for musicians) and I think once I get my OCD going there'll be no stopping me. :-)
@@davidshanhun Hey David. I'm playing a loop and singing along and I want turn the harmony on for the chorus but the VL3 screen just has the loop screen going. Is it possible to switch effects on and off while looping?
@@davidshanhun Never mind I worked it out. Just tap the looper switch and it keeps playing the loop and takes you back to the patches where you can make changes.
I really like the way you explain things. You’re just really calm and chilled, makes it easy to listen to. Also, I’ve had this pedal for a long time but just had to factory reset it 😭 and have a show tomorrow, so yes these tips were super helpful in reminding (and teaching) me some quick set up tips!!
@@davidshanhun thank you David! Yes it did, it was my first Zoom ticketed livestream ... futuristic gig! Worked though. I’ve followed you on Spotify :)
we need leds on the switch6.....good job man, it's a very sophisticated machine, most of the parameters might be unknown also studying the manual. you're saving us!!!
THANK YOU!!!! i got my voice live 2 stolen, and just got the 3, and all the changes are confusing ass hell, and im playing tonight, så needed a quick set up :D
Man thank you I'm Brazilian...I'm fascinate about this pedal...I'm little afraid to adquire one..probably fear to not be able to use all stuff that it offers...I'm seeing all your videos... Thank you...
Thanks Elton. It's a pretty cool pedal - but if you aren't sure, I would go with something less expensive to start with! Do you have a loop pedal already?
You can turn on the vocal global preset and simply manually copy (e.g, select next preset, select Store, and move to the next) all your the main vocal preset settings you like to all other presets. When you're done copying your vocal (or guitar) preset to all the other presets simply turn off the global vocal preset. This applies to a guitar preset as well.
heya! Check in the mixer screen (the 4 little knobs will take you there), that your output for vox/guitar is at 0db. Often that limits volume output and gets missed. As for the hum we might have to do a bit more digging to solve it but lets see! How many other pedals are you running with the VL3?
Hello and thanks for the video....Seems the voicelive 3 extreme is capable of changing presets via MIDI, as you change the song via those tablet app such as onsong or Set list maker. Do you if this version voicelive 3 already does that? thanks in advance
I've been using the very basic functions on the VLE3 for about 2 years now, I SO appreciate you making these videos. I've started noticing vocal "bleed" into my guitar loops. I'm considering hitting the "Factory Reset" button, but decided to ask if you have any other suggestions. Have a wonderful time in Japan, we went a year ago and wow, what an amazing culture! So awesome to be touring there! Thanks again for your contributions!
Hey Grover! you're most welcome for the videos man and glad they've been useful. I have the same issue with vocal bleed on the VL3, and have considered reducing my vocal gain to see if that changes the amount of bleed, but haven't gotten around to experimenting with it yet! If you do before I do... could you let me know! It could also be that I only notice it in small rooms, and what it is, is actually the guitar pickup picking up some of the vibrations of my voice. A good test of that can be using a feedback stopper in the guitar soundhole, and can often reduce what the guitar pickup gets from the room. Let me know if either helps you anyway and cheers for joining the channel 😊
Touring Japan AND taking time out to record and upload more great content for us eager fans?! You sir are a shining example of work ethic. For me, the step button couldn't be more important, since I'm outsourcing all the looping responsibilities to the RC300. The step button helps me quickly build an elaborate mix of sounds before eventually landing me at whatever the vocal/guitar sound needs to be for the current song: so for What Is Love it'll be a delayed vocal with a bunch of reverb, or a slappy transducer sound for Pumped Up Kicks. Then when it's time for the next song, banking up on the VL3 also banks up my GR55, Handsonic and JDXI (or just an iPad if there were loads of stairs at the get in!)
Haha not sure if it’s a good example or a lil bit crazy sometimes haha! I love that you brought up the importance of steps 😂 they are super handy for loop building like you mentioned 👌 are you still using the sub n up for your bass sound (think thats what you were running 🤔) Im curious to see how many things i ignored that are crucial to certain people’s setups appear hehe 😝
@@davidshanhun It's actually the EHX Micro Pog, although I did try the Sub n Up for a while: I don't know if I was doing it wrong or what, but it seemed kind of wooly, so I switched back to the pog pretty quickly. Haha, thank you sir! Yes it's great having everything linked up, although it does mean that if the notoriously flaky VL3 goes down, so does everything else! 😅 Awesome video by the way - I love your slick presentation, and it's nice when someone else confirms what you discovered on your own: that the mic clip protection and noise gate were well meaning but utterly useless as default settings. It's nice that they're there, but I imagine a lot of units were returned before people figured out they could turn them off! Haha! How are you anyway? Glad to be home or pining for more Soba??
ah that's right haha! Got my wires/pedals crossed haha. hmmmm good point about if the VL3 fails on you... that makes for some hasty re-adjustments mid gig I imagine. I'm sure the audience would have no idea you're stressed, but can imagine the performing nightmare that it would be when it happens! 😬 haha I expect those 2 things alone are responsible for a bunch of people saying the VL3 is simply awful... 'my guitar just cuts out... the vocal level drops randomly at gigs...' haha! I'm good mate! Been a hectic hectic schedule and not sure actually why I decided to add filming this into the midst of it, but just had an evening over there to film and not much else happening in the hotel room that eve so this is what came out haha! Would hastily go back for some more Ramen! ...bonus is I'm off to the beach today and it's summer here, so i'm grateful for that :)
Thanks so much David for this tutorial. Is there any way to get the Aux In only to guide harmonies but not being routed to any of the Outputs? I mean, when using it live in a band with guitars, keyboards, bass (using an Aux Send mix), but you don't want those instruments to be sent back into the mix through the XLRs.
Here's one I prepared earlier for you - ruclips.net/video/nuHHrEDVF30/видео.html. at 5:18 on that link I go through the specific settings i use to make my guitar sound like a bass for looping :)
Great series of videos. You went through your lead tone and your bass emulation settings, and that was great. Any chance you would do a quick vid covering your vocal settings and your standard acoustic guitar settings? Thanks in advance for any additional VL3 content you post... this thing is a beast but luckily your vids help demystify it for me. :)
Thanks so much! I will add the vocal settings to my list at the mo of things to do - here's a super short one on my acoustic settings - it's honestly very unexciting, but perhaps useful?! How long have you had your VL3?
@@davidshanhun Hey man, thanks for the reply. I've had my unit for a few months but only turned it on twice so far as I have been busy. Am now taking advantage of the global quarantine to get to projects that I've put off. My hope is to emerge with an acoustic rig ready for a live pub duo that my guitarist and I have been working on. I think you may have forgotten to post the link to the vid.... although I may have misread. Anyways, appreciate all the help you can offer..quite honestly, the TCH vids are just glorified product review so yours are a breath of fresh air. Cheers.
haha apologies I totally forgot to post the link! Great that you have. thetime to suss things now 👌...ruclips.net/video/YjEcJf7lP68/видео.html. I think I was genuinely so underwhelmed with what's in this vid I couldn't get mysefl to post it haha. Let me know how you're getting on with the setup!
David, please help! How do I connect the VL3X to my drummers ears for live band situation to stay in synch with automation? And how can he have a click track running without it comming out through the P.A? Please help!
ooh I'd have to dive back into this to figure it out. Essentially I think you'd be turning the metronome in the unit on then figuring out how to send it to just the headphones out most likely. Be aware turning the metronome on can mess with initial loop recording if you can't hear it yourself though! Let me know how you get on!
Great videos! Very helpful. I am having trouble connecting a Boss DR 880 drum machine to the VLX3 so I can include the drums as part of the loop . Can you explain that process? I would be very grateful!
Hey Scott - I have a feeling that the midi connection won't let you put audio into the loops of the VL3 (but I could be wrong - the midi side isn't my strength tbh). Just a hunch, but I think your best bet is going to be the main out of the 880 into the Aux input of the VL3 if you want to record grooves from the 880 into your loops. Then on the looping screen simply make sure you have the input set to 'all' or Aux. You can button map to switch between what goes into the loop if you want to eliminate the vocal whilst looping (which cuts down general loop stage noise whilst building). Eg loop guitar input to start with, then switch the input to Aux only. Let me know how you get on!
Hi David I love your video's there very informative. I've had a vl3 for a few years now but really never explored it that much for customizing the right sound for my live shows but since watching you videos I have a new outlook on this. I have a quick question for you. In the vocal section of the Voicelive 3 in the harmony section particular where do you set you lead level to get the best live mix of harmony and lead vocal?
Hey Shawn - in the harmony options I set my harmony level to -13. It varies depending on the gain of your mic and how loud you sing etc. Eg if you turn up the gain on your mic and then sing softer into the mic, the harmonies will come out higher in the mix, but once you have a pretty good starting point you're unlikely to need to tweak it particularly much. Hope that helps!
Sensational video sir.. quick question. is there a way you can independently control the level of backing track V the mic level.. They seem to be as one and the system relies on you getting the mix right when you set up each preset however this surely would be a problem when playing live if you need to adjust your mix on the fly ?
Steve you have mixer controls via the four small dials on the unit just below the screen. That'd be the simplest/quickest way to do this and after a while you'll know exactly which dial you need and can just reach down and adjust it 👌
Ideal mic gain setting to avoid vocal "warbling"? Other tips for that? Also issues with vocal octave (high), sometimes a strange phantom note comes out instead of the true octave above I need...
Are you using midi with your vl3. I am having a hard time getting a daw (reaper) to change patches. It will change the patch for a split second and then go back to the previous patch. Any ideas?
Hi Alan, I'm not using Midi sorry. Wish I had a good answer for you! Perhaps reach out in the facebook group for VL3's. Some great people and info in there. facebook.com/groups/voicelive3
I'm trying to figure out how to assign a distortion guitar preset to a step within on an existing clean guitar preset. My reason for doing this is when you get your clean guitar settings (i.e, pre\post gain, frequencies, etc) to form really nice bright, fully bodied clean sound simply hitting the step to enable distortion doesn't work because it's using the sound settings for your clean amp and won't produce the required amp\crunch, gain etc you need for your distorted patch. I just can't figure out how to do this.
Hey Tim - this is the best video on setting steps - ruclips.net/video/UzwntwA9gvw/видео.html. I did exactly the same thing as you're wanting here - but instead of steps, i simply save the full preset and tone I want to the very next patch and just click up or down the presets to change. Essentially for either of these options though - you'll want to create a preset that has the full tone you want for distortion/delay/amp settings etc, and then go about saving it as a step, or saving it as the preset number just before or after your main one. Reach out if any questions etc and happy to help 😊
Hi David , thanks for great videos ! They are really helpful .. I’m new to this and started with the tc play acoustic but I’m seeing where I’m limited . I know you mentioned this but I want to make sure I understand.. does the voice live 3 allow me to save backing tracks I make ? For example If I’m playing a song where the chorus is different than the rest of the song and I want to make and save a few layers of background harmonies to engage for the chorus only can I do that and save them so when I’m playing a certain song I switch to that preset and my harmonies I created are there ?
Cheers David... Was curious about the button mapping you were talking about with the looper. Song structure wise how are you using play a/b back? Could you give some kind of example?
Hey Dharma, I usually record a rhythm section only on track A, and then build chords/bass on track B. then in a song I will use A/B together for the main loop, then if there is a bridge or something like that, I will just use A (which is rhythm only) and play the bridge section that has different chords. Does that make sense?
@@gerimayawhyte154 I do a mix. Depending on the point in the night (or what type of gig) i'll favour more loops, or different song choices etc. I often use the wild dog stomp box with songs if they aren't looped to add something extra to the bottom end to drive them though if it's a more party vibe and i'm going from a few looped songs to one that's not.
Thanks a lot for all your videos and help . Still something doesn't work for me with the looper , when i start and there's a click and i begin to record it doesn't sync , pretty frustrating. Need help , i fell like a single engine aeroplane pilot that drives a spaceship. On other loopers I'm doing amazing things, it's a shame that it doesn't work for me on the voice live yet .
Hey Asaf! This sounds like the metronome setting is 'on' but also set to 'mute' - it's SUPER frustrating and happened to most of us at some point but it's an easy fix. Hold down the layers button to go into the looper screen, press | met | and set it to 'off' (if you're not using it). The other setting that most of us use (and you can check yours) is 'Smart'. Go into the | UTIL | then hit | SYNC | then click SMART. go back and then click SAVE
if you're writing them to the 'next preset' then they will overwrite what's already there. You would need to make sure that preset is either free, or that you have already copied that 'next preset' to another location if you wish to recall it later etc as it will get overwritten.
@@davidshanhun cool. Nice one for getting back to me. I find it bonkers that there's not just a volume knob on the front of it 😱. So you can extend the amount of presets that are on there then yes? If there were 500 presets and I wanted to copy preset 1 to preset 2 then I could move preset 2 to 501?
With clip protection off don't you find the preset volumes peak and trough as you go through them? Is there any way to balance out the preset volumes from one to the next over all of them?
hey Mr Ryan! Clip protection is only to do with the input gain - making sure signal isn't clipping on the way in to the unit. Unfortunately the VL3 is set up terribly with very inconsistent output volumes for each preset. There's no way to level the output without going in and adjusting it yourself per preset (that I've found up to this point anyway). It's been a frustration for most of us that you eventually forget about as you get presets you enjoy set up to suit.
@@davidshanhun have you run the voicelive directly in to a guitar volume pedal? I'm thinking that this might help a little? Having speaker volumes cranked up to cater for the quieter presets but then when a louder preset comes along then turn to the guitar volume pedal to turn it down 🤷🏻♂️
@@mrryan7475 that would be a solution! I haven't tbh, personally just went through and adjusted the output gain on the amp settings in most cases - a bit of a pain, but I found running into a desk with metering that you can see a pretty effective way to do it and set them all at least at what looks like the same level! (and remembering to save each one along the way haha!)
Thanks for the infos Dear David.I am a keyboard player & I simply can´t get that Talkbox Effect going.I wrote to Tom Lang,No response.Please help me if you know & can.Thanks again
Hey Davo , loved the tutorial you explain it much better the other tutorials. Is there any way to connect the PC / Tablet / Smart phone to Voicelive 3 . Thanks in advance and keep these videos up 👍👍🎼🎤
Hi Michael - yes, via the mini USB output - then with a usb to lightning adapter for iphone/ipad etc. not sure about other options but expect it's just a case of finding the right adaptor to make the connection. There's a great facebook group with a guy Chris Tidestrom that does a lot of cool stuff coming out from the USB option - perhaps check out facebook.com/groups/voicelive3/?multi_permalinks=2916250058412452¬if_id=1586652937323958¬if_t=group_highlights&ref=notif if you get a mo. (let me know if that link works for you btw).
Hello, could you tell me how do I connect a midi keyboard to my voicelive 3 and how do I configure it to hear it? I can't get it to work. I want to connect it via usb thanks .
Hi David! Thank you so much for the tips! I have two questions: for the tip number 2, I don’t have this “mic clip protection” option. Is that normal? My second question is: when I’m stopping a loop, it stops quite abruptly, i was wondering it was possible to keep the reverb and delay going? Thank you so much for your help! It is really really useful! Best
heya, great questions! What mic are you using? and silly question - but you are using a Voicelive 3 rather than VL2 etc yes? There isn't a way in the unit to keep the reverb going, but what I do to get around it - is to simply play the last chord live when i stop the loop - that way the reverb tail still comes off my live guitar chord when I stop and it's not so abrupt :) Hope that helps!
How do I shut off Hard Tune all together.? I'm clearly not doing correctly. Thank you. Love your videos. The programming on this is Not the easiest thing ive ever done. Thats for sure
hey Travis :) Yep can be a bit tricky! Go to the preset you want to adjust, click vocal, then scroll across and turn hardtune to off. You'll then need to save that preset so that it remembers for future! If you have a global preset running - you'd need to adjust it in that, and it will copy to all presets that use global etc. Let me know how you go!
Hey David. Thanks for the great video and thanks for getting me into looping. As a new loop artist, what would you recommend between the VL3X or RC600? Some of my key requirements are multiple tracks and onboard effects for guitar and vocals. VL3X seems amazing though I'm not sure of the max 2 simultaneous tracks. Really confused here.
hey Farrukh. Great question my friend - it really depends always on your specific needs. I would describe the VL3 as an 'all in one' unit that includes a pretty good looping capability. I would describe the RC600 as an excellent loop pedal that includes other effects. Overall if you are wanting to get into looping I would go with the RC600, and then if you find you need additional guitar and vocal effects beyond what it provides, I would add and buy the specific gear you need after that. I still have the VL3 and would take it with me if I needed a compact solution that includes everything all in one pedal. The VL3x is still one of the most powerful vocal and guitar effects units around (I don't have anything else on my mind that really compares to the TC vocal fx personally). Not sure if this helps you or makes your choice harder haha!
Haha thanks for the reply. You just made my choice easier. Gonna go with the RC600. Thanks for all the great videos. Will hopefully share my looping adventures soon as well. I do have some specific challenges with the kind of music I like and play. Maybe you can help with arranging those songs for loops some day 🙂
Thanks for the tips David, just researching getting a used vl3 and came across your channel, subscribed and have been working my way through all your videos. Glad you got your's fixed, but your issues and lots of others online have made me feel a little wary! Found a good deal second hand with a boss expression pedal, is it worth taking the plunge after the problems you've had?! I really want this pedal, it looks like it does everything I want, but makes me nervous!
Hey Matt cheers for the comment. I love and hate this pedal haha. If there was something that could replace what it does and do it just as well then i would swap... so far, I haven't found any combo that really does so I'm still using the VL3 and I do love it (when it works). For it's overall size and features it's great - i do feel that there is some risk in buying it with all the issues that are out there. Many are able to be solved on your own, however I had a bad experience with TC's approved repairers in New Zealand who charged me $140 and would not guarantee any of their work, which I then solved myself for $20. The TC helicon social media reps on instagram simply 'like/heart' any mention of TC Helicon, even when it's their fan base saying their TC Helicon pedal stopped working mid gig, or had issues - has happened to me and others. I have had some dealings with people that are part of the TC Helicon team and they seem super nice, overall as a company though I think they have exceptionally terrible customer service. So - with all that said - you gotta choose what you think is right for you. If it works and doesn't have issues you'll have an amazing pedal that you'll absolutely love, if it has issues then do your best to contact TC Helicon and get it sorted, or if it was second hand there's a bunch of self repair advice online that in many cases does work. Long reply mate - but hope that gives you my perspective and experience of the pedals and all of the comments online to take into account!
@@davidshanhun Hi David, Thanks for the in depth reply. I decided to buy new, I think having a warranty is worth it for peace of mind. My local shop sold out while I was procrastinating, hopefully they get some more soon!
Thanks David!! For tip four, could you also just set the vocal preset you like as global ?, seems I can do that with Vl3X. But I guess then your multiple harmony trick with different presets will not work.
Ryan - totally an option! A tough balance to choose though as then you lose the option to have a different vocal sound/setup for any specific songs that you might want!
Nice video man! I have the 3 extreme and it's a game changer for solo acoustic acts. Just curious, what do you have your vocal gain set at and do use "adaptive" or manual EQ?
Hey Frankie, sorry slow reply mate, my settings are... 25db vocal gain (i'm not a loud singer), and then EQ adaptive, shape 51, warmth on. I played around with a few manual settings for a while, but this just works for me so keeping it simple! :) I'm also using a Sennheiser E845 mic, which would change what settings you might want in here also. Hope that helps though!
I think I can help haha! It's likely the 'effects mix' has your reverb turned off - i've copied a video i made that will start at tip #8 which talks about how to access this. Turn the little knob under GTR reverb up and this should get it all running for you. Let me know how you get on! ruclips.net/video/vuL4Oal_3SU/видео.html
@@davidshanhun Yes! I found it. In the main mix the gtr effect was turned all the way down to -40 dB! I bought this pedal used, so probably the previous owner tuned it thay way. Anyway, thank u so much:)
absolutely possible. Go into 'setup', output, then xlr output mode to stereo. Then you would have 2 xlr's out - put them into the desk going to your PA system as 1 and 2. Pan one of them hard left, the other hard right - then whatever stereo spread/effects etc you have on the VL3 will come through to the PA.
hey Michael - answered the stereo question replying above to Stephen, and responsed with a link to your other question about connecting to tablet/PC. Let me know how you go!
David Shanhun thanks! Is that how you set yours up? Wouldn’t that just send the vocals to the left speaker and the guitar to the right, and sound a little strange? I’m a little confused tbh. Is it better to go stereo for a solo acoustic set or just put everything on one channel and go mono?
@@stephenrourke5404 if you are running just out the xlr in stereo it will send both guitar and vocals to both, and any stereo effects will accurately pan etc between speakers.
I have what seems a big issue. I just bought the VL 3 extreme. i do not have any dry output from xlr 'voice - L mono' output when 'mono output' mode in setup menu is selected. What I mean is NO sound/signal can be heard when no effect is on. And activating an effect e.g delay or reverb or (it would seem) doubling etc, results in hearing only those wet output signals. This also occurs if the output mode is set to ‘stereo’, in this instance both left and right voice outputs only output fx wet signal.
did you buy it new or second hand? I'd have to do some digging but sounds like a settings issue. Might be worth doing a reset seeing as it's new to you so you won't lose any saved sounds etc - ruclips.net/video/O-DbzhVeTxA/видео.html
Very useful, thanks! I used to use my VL3 a lot and typically linked presets to looper slots (I only used the looper for backing tracks). Now after a while of not using the VL3 I cannot remember how I used to get the preset and loop slot linkage to survive a power off!! :( I can change to a preset then with the looper/util menu change the slot number but if I then power off/on it goes back to slot 1. I have tried storing the preset twice and also save slot within the looper. I don't suppose you can recall how to do this i.e. preset/loop slot linkage survives power off/on? Many thanks!
Hey Jez! When you are on the preset you want, press the 'looper' button, and scroll right to 'preset'. 'Looper Load slot' will currently be switched to 'off'. Switch this to whichever looper slot number you want and you're done! Press 'looper' again to exit. Hope that helps and you're having fun getting back into it!
Hey David. Another cool video and I liked all of your tips. For tip #7 (having different harmonies), I've gotten use to adding Steps within a Preset but your way is quicker so I'll be changing methods lol. Like yourself, I also want everything on my VOX layer because I want to be able to see if harmony is on or off. I have one question if I may. I noticed when you talked about mic clip protection, that your GLB pitch Correction was at 0...I have mine at 50% thinking that maybe it could help a little should I be a little flat/sharp on a singing note. Is there a reason why yours is at 0. Thank you.
Hi Germain. Both the steps or the preset way for changing harmonies are pretty good - just choose whichever works best for you! The reason my pitch correction is off, is that my own pitching vocally is excellent, and I don't want anything messing with it, or trying to adjust my pitch especially when there is no guitar signal - eg acapella vocals. I can't actually remember if the GLB is set to 440 Hz, or triggered by the guitar, but I remember noticing it very early on when i got the unit, that it sounded odd especially if playing a small venue with low PA volume. Then you hear both your own voice, plus the slight pitch correction - and they have then a bad clash as they are ever so slightly different. I suggest doing whatever feels right for you - it's a handy tool, and I think can work excellently well in certain situations, just isn't right for me hence turning it off!
Hey David, thank you for your elaborate reply. Now that you mentioned hearing both voices (your own and a slight pitch correction), I have heard that on a couple of songs I sing and so I'll try bringing it down to zero and see if there is a difference. Thank you. I hope you had a great show in Japan.

@@zaferzencirli I had a friend that recorded direct from the usb on the VL3 I believe rather than the micro usb that's there. Might be a case of figuring out some settings but definitely believe what you're trying to do is possible.
Hey Vinamra - this will work with any speaker system you run into. Speaker or amplifier will depend much more on what sort of shows you are doing and the number of people you expect to be performing to! 😊
I've just bought VL3 Extreme and I've noticed that the tone of my acoustic guitar is worst when it's plugged in the VL3. It's like more digital/plastic sound... any suggestion?Thanks for your video, really helpful
Hey Francesco - I do find that there can be a bit of this sound from the VL3 - it varies on the guitar signal running through it, and then also where it's then getting sent. I notice it when running into my cheap in ears, but not through my FOH system particularly. I find it more obvious on some of the overdrive gain effects and amp settings. I'm mostly playing acoustic however, so less noticeable, and if you've come from all analogue pedals, then moving to digital will always be noticeable. What gear/guitar are you running?
Does anyone have a list of the real names of the artist?song on the presets on VL3X as i am having trouble linking them to the real name etc. E.G SALTY MAN,
Another thing. I work with a band and I am always hooked up to the keyboard midi. Some really strange things have been happening lately. I'll be singing a phrase with harmonies and all of a sudden the harmonies just top! I realized that I have the harmonies set on Natplay auto sense. Should I change it to midi? To me it sounds like it has more to do with clip protection but I don't have this option. I'm wondering if there is anything I need to do with the db. Lead is on 0 for most options and harmonies are on -6db but it's not like the red light turns on. When I do the set up mic gain it usually settles on 32 db. I wish there were more videos on how to used this with a band and an actual keyboard. Lots of singers in bands are using this and are hooked up to keyboards and there is so little explanation. I have a feeling I got a pedal that is too advanced and too complicated for what I actually need it for. An easy hook via midi to the keyboard that can do harmonies and have a few effects.
firmware is at - download the update and voicesupport. I suggest you spend time reading the manual for this unit. There is a lot in it, and it will take some time and learning to get to grips with it all. No rush to understand it all, but some daily time with the manual in short bursts will save you a lot of headaches along hte way! www.tc-helicon.com/tchelicon/product?modelCode=P0CDY@@maryloscerbo2588
heya - voicesupport 2 is the best way to update the firmware, or you can download from their site to a usb. Many presets available on line as starting points.
@@davidshanhun I don't really remember, I'll have to go through the presets again. I do remember it was a couple of the bon Jovi presets and the talk box preset though. As for the others I don't really remember. I kinda stopped using it as much as I could at it seems you have to be some kinda genius to use it. Lol. I know I'm not using it to fullest capacity, and that makes me feel bad. But it's just not a use friendly interface. Your videos have helped to a degree, so this foul mouthed chuckle-head thanks you and all you do.
@@joepolygraph haha cheers mate! It took me a long while to feel like I understood the unit - it's a big learning curve for sure, and there's a few odd things that really took me a while to wrap my head around haha! Flick me another message if you find the ones down the track that were cutting out and i'll have a closer look at it with ya! :)
@@tchelicon feel free to tag me @davidshanhun if you wish :) Thanks for sharing and hope it helps a bunch of excited new VL3 users and re-excites some older ones haha!
hey Mr Ryan! Just saw this now - let me know if you get stuck on anything. The bad news is that out of the box all the levels for each preset are horrendously all over the place, the good news is that everything is adjustable and save-able! Let me know how you get on!
Thanks man. You're a good guy. This particular volume problem I was referring to here was resolved. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I had a volume switch turned down on my boss 505 loop station after swapping some input leads around on the back of it 🤦🏻♂️ I was devastated, I went to bed thinking it was broken and the first 2 hours of the next day too. I adjusted so many settings trying to figure out what it was that I had to do a factory reset once I realised what the problem really was. I'm such a doofus
@@mrryan7475 haha this is brilliant... because we've all done it! I remember stressing out at a show because no matter what I did I could not get any signal coming through, it was becoming crazy close to start time and I was getting no sound let alone a mix.

Hey! Just got the VL3X, having switched over from the old TC Helicon singles. At 3:30, you flip through “Main Setup” and “Main Setup 2”. How do you get to those blank presets?
Hey Tom - when you click 'save' to save your presets - it lets you choose which blank preset to store them to and you can name them whatever you like. I have simply saved them to 368 and 369 when i created them, and then it's a simple 'up' or 'down' to switch between them once saved.
with clip protection on with really low input level to me sound better i think u get a more compressed signal ...tell me what u think ...really really low input so what u say wont happen
if you're getting a good sound thats the main thing! So long as you aren't clipping, there shouldn't be an issue with how high or low the signal level is, although there is the chance of getting more 'electrical noise' in the chain (potentially) if the signal is too low. Your ears will tell you what is working well for you though, and sounds like you have a good sound which is awesome!

Have you used the VoiceLiveEditor app for your box? It's a bad a$$ way to configure your box. If you don't know, because it's GUI, it really simplifies editing and managing presets, even backups, with the click of a mouse. And it can store up to 10,000 presets that I can download into my box! It advertises it allows the use of set-lists, but I haven't used that yet since I'm just getting started w/ both my VL box and the VoiceLiveEditor software. I made an unsponsored RUclips video that demos the s/w: ruclips.net/video/R0bwKLrnh7I/видео.html
Just the fact that you got several hundred views in a few days tells me there’s many Voicelive Users needing help. I think TCH does a poor job of explaining the set up and use of this pedal. Maybe you can get on their payroll.....
Thanks Jay! I think there's a lot that they talk about that is from an 'idealistic' point of view, rather than actual 'I have a gig this weekend what do i need to know and what's useful' perspective haha. I'm stoked that it's been useful to people!
Great tips, David. I was wondering about the the threshold cutoff for guitar and didn't know where the setting was. So here's a question for you. So I have a bunch of .manual presets setup -- about 40 of them. I like the idea of switching harmony types within the same song by using different presets. Is there any way of inserting a preset into the unit so that existing presets move up one to make space for it (instead of overwriting the preset)?
Hey Mark, good timing for the noise gate then eh! The easiest solution for you that I can think of would be to use the Voicesupport 2 app and connect your Voicelive 3 to your computer. Will make it easier to drag your presets to later slots and start to make some space to then insert new presets into the mix. Let me know how you go!
@@davidshanhun Of course! I was also wanting to put my tracks in order of my set list and this would accomplish that as well. Thank you and thanks for the great video.
@@davidshanhun I have found that using Voicelive Editor (voiceliveeditor.com) allows me to do things that I can't do in Voice Support - like easily copy settings between presets. It's a bit of a wacky interface, but the functionality rocks even in the free version.

Got my VL3 Just after release. A few years ago. New I had about a 7 year learning curve. Please keep at the, tips an tricks. Watching your tut, took at least 1 year off my learning curve. I'm certain that composers 100 years from now will still b trying to keep up with the people that put this machine together. The complicated nature of the VL3 is very difficult to figure out. Can u believe that after all these years, I'm working up the nerve to try the looper. That I would never try , without your help. Thanks.
David, thank you for Italian subtitles in your videos. It seems to work well, I am very grateful to you. I am ready to see them all again.
Glad to hear that! I will start updating other video's now that I know it works. Pls just leave me a comment if there is any particular one that I haven't done yet and you wish to watch it! 😊

Thanks/ Just getting started.
Happy playing with the pedal!
Man thank you I'm Brazilian...I'm fascinate about this pedal...I'm little afraid to adquire one..probably fear to not be able to use all stuff that it offers...I'm seeing all your videos...
Thank you...
Thanks Elton. It's a pretty cool pedal - but if you aren't sure, I would go with something less expensive to start with! Do you have a loop pedal already?
You can turn on the vocal global preset and simply manually copy (e.g, select next preset, select Store, and move to the next) all your the main vocal preset settings you like to all other presets. When you're done copying your vocal (or guitar) preset to all the other presets simply turn off the global vocal preset. This applies to a guitar preset as well.
That's a nice way to do it! 👌
I can't get my volume to come up louder and I have a terrible hum in my TC Helicon voice live 3 any suggestions
heya! Check in the mixer screen (the 4 little knobs will take you there), that your output for vox/guitar is at 0db. Often that limits volume output and gets missed. As for the hum we might have to do a bit more digging to solve it but lets see! How many other pedals are you running with the VL3?
Hello and thanks for the video....Seems the voicelive 3 extreme is capable of changing presets via MIDI, as you change the song via those tablet app such as onsong or Set list maker. Do you if this version voicelive 3 already does that? thanks in advance
I've been using the very basic functions on the VLE3 for about 2 years now, I SO appreciate you making these videos. I've started noticing vocal "bleed" into my guitar loops. I'm considering hitting the "Factory Reset" button, but decided to ask if you have any other suggestions. Have a wonderful time in Japan, we went a year ago and wow, what an amazing culture! So awesome to be touring there! Thanks again for your contributions!
Hey Grover! you're most welcome for the videos man and glad they've been useful. I have the same issue with vocal bleed on the VL3, and have considered reducing my vocal gain to see if that changes the amount of bleed, but haven't gotten around to experimenting with it yet! If you do before I do... could you let me know! It could also be that I only notice it in small rooms, and what it is, is actually the guitar pickup picking up some of the vibrations of my voice. A good test of that can be using a feedback stopper in the guitar soundhole, and can often reduce what the guitar pickup gets from the room. Let me know if either helps you anyway and cheers for joining the channel 😊
Touring Japan AND taking time out to record and upload more great content for us eager fans?! You sir are a shining example of work ethic.
For me, the step button couldn't be more important, since I'm outsourcing all the looping responsibilities to the RC300. The step button helps me quickly build an elaborate mix of sounds before eventually landing me at whatever the vocal/guitar sound needs to be for the current song: so for What Is Love it'll be a delayed vocal with a bunch of reverb, or a slappy transducer sound for Pumped Up Kicks. Then when it's time for the next song, banking up on the VL3 also banks up my GR55, Handsonic and JDXI (or just an iPad if there were loads of stairs at the get in!)
Haha not sure if it’s a good example or a lil bit crazy sometimes haha!
I love that you brought up the importance of steps 😂 they are super handy for loop building like you mentioned 👌 are you still using the sub n up for your bass sound (think thats what you were running 🤔)
Im curious to see how many things i ignored that are crucial to certain people’s setups appear hehe 😝
Also its epic that you have everything linked 👌👌
@@davidshanhun It's actually the EHX Micro Pog, although I did try the Sub n Up for a while: I don't know if I was doing it wrong or what, but it seemed kind of wooly, so I switched back to the pog pretty quickly.
Haha, thank you sir! Yes it's great having everything linked up, although it does mean that if the notoriously flaky VL3 goes down, so does everything else! 😅
Awesome video by the way - I love your slick presentation, and it's nice when someone else confirms what you discovered on your own: that the mic clip protection and noise gate were well meaning but utterly useless as default settings. It's nice that they're there, but I imagine a lot of units were returned before people figured out they could turn them off! Haha!
How are you anyway? Glad to be home or pining for more Soba??
ah that's right haha! Got my wires/pedals crossed haha.
hmmmm good point about if the VL3 fails on you... that makes for some hasty re-adjustments mid gig I imagine. I'm sure the audience would have no idea you're stressed, but can imagine the performing nightmare that it would be when it happens! 😬
haha I expect those 2 things alone are responsible for a bunch of people saying the VL3 is simply awful... 'my guitar just cuts out... the vocal level drops randomly at gigs...' haha!
I'm good mate! Been a hectic hectic schedule and not sure actually why I decided to add filming this into the midst of it, but just had an evening over there to film and not much else happening in the hotel room that eve so this is what came out haha! Would hastily go back for some more Ramen! ...bonus is I'm off to the beach today and it's summer here, so i'm grateful for that :)

Thanks so much David for this tutorial.
Is there any way to get the Aux In only to guide harmonies but not being routed to any of the Outputs?
I mean, when using it live in a band with guitars, keyboards, bass (using an Aux Send mix), but you don't want those instruments to be sent back into the mix through the XLRs.
Wow amazing demo I did subscribe I hope I find a video that shows how to make the guitar sound like a bass so I can create a bass track
Here's one I prepared earlier for you - ruclips.net/video/nuHHrEDVF30/видео.html. at 5:18 on that link I go through the specific settings i use to make my guitar sound like a bass for looping :)
Great series of videos. You went through your lead tone and your bass emulation settings, and that was great. Any chance you would do a quick vid covering your vocal settings and your standard acoustic guitar settings? Thanks in advance for any additional VL3 content you post... this thing is a beast but luckily your vids help demystify it for me. :)
Thanks so much! I will add the vocal settings to my list at the mo of things to do - here's a super short one on my acoustic settings - it's honestly very unexciting, but perhaps useful?! How long have you had your VL3?
@@davidshanhun Hey man, thanks for the reply. I've had my unit for a few months but only turned it on twice so far as I have been busy.

whoop!
David, please help! How do I connect the VL3X to my drummers ears for live band situation to stay in synch with automation? And how can he have a click track running without it comming out through the P.A? Please help!
ooh I'd have to dive back into this to figure it out. Essentially I think you'd be turning the metronome in the unit on then figuring out how to send it to just the headphones out most likely. Be aware turning the metronome on can mess with initial loop recording if you can't hear it yourself though! Let me know how you get on!
@davidshanhun Thanks a bunch, David.
Great videos! Very helpful. I am having trouble connecting a Boss DR 880 drum machine to the VLX3 so I can include the drums as part of the loop . Can you explain that process? I would be very grateful!
Hey Scott - I have a feeling that the midi connection won't let you put audio into the loops of the VL3 (but I could be wrong - the midi side isn't my strength tbh). Just a hunch, but I think your best bet is going to be the main out of the 880 into the Aux input of the VL3 if you want to record grooves from the 880 into your loops. Then on the looping screen simply make sure you have the input set to 'all' or Aux. You can button map to switch between what goes into the loop if you want to eliminate the vocal whilst looping (which cuts down general loop stage noise whilst building). Eg loop guitar input to start with, then switch the input to Aux only. Let me know how you get on!
Amazing video. Thank you! SUBBED
cheers Vinny!
Hi David I love your video's there very informative. I've had a vl3 for a few years now but really never explored it that much for customizing the right sound for my live shows but since watching you videos I have a new outlook on this. I have a quick question for you. In the vocal section of the Voicelive 3 in the harmony section particular where do you set you lead level to get the best live mix of harmony and lead vocal?
Hey Shawn - in the harmony options I set my harmony level to -13. It varies depending on the gain of your mic and how loud you sing etc. Eg if you turn up the gain on your mic and then sing softer into the mic, the harmonies will come out higher in the mix, but once you have a pretty good starting point you're unlikely to need to tweak it particularly much. Hope that helps!
Sensational video sir.. quick question. is there a way you can independently control the level of backing track V the mic level.. They seem to be as one and the system relies on you getting the mix right when you set up each preset however this surely would be a problem when playing live if you need to adjust your mix on the fly ?
Steve you have mixer controls via the four small dials on the unit just below the screen. That'd be the simplest/quickest way to do this and after a while you'll know exactly which dial you need and can just reach down and adjust it 👌
Thank you
😊
Ideal mic gain setting to avoid vocal "warbling"? Other tips for that? Also issues with vocal octave (high), sometimes a strange phantom note comes out instead of the true octave above I need...
Are you using midi with your vl3. I am having a hard time getting a daw (reaper) to change patches. It will change the patch for a split second and then go back to the previous patch. Any ideas?
Hi Alan, I'm not using Midi sorry. Wish I had a good answer for you! Perhaps reach out in the facebook group for VL3's. Some great people and info in there. facebook.com/groups/voicelive3
I'm trying to figure out how to assign a distortion guitar preset to a step within on an existing clean guitar preset. My reason for doing this is when you get your clean guitar settings (i.e, pre\post gain, frequencies, etc) to form really nice bright, fully bodied clean sound simply hitting the step to enable distortion doesn't work because it's using the sound settings for your clean amp and won't produce the required amp\crunch, gain etc you need for your distorted patch. I just can't figure out how to do this.
Hey Tim - this is the best video on setting steps - ruclips.net/video/UzwntwA9gvw/видео.html. I did exactly the same thing as you're wanting here - but instead of steps, i simply save the full preset and tone I want to the very next patch and just click up or down the presets to change. Essentially for either of these options though - you'll want to create a preset that has the full tone you want for distortion/delay/amp settings etc, and then go about saving it as a step, or saving it as the preset number just before or after your main one. Reach out if any questions etc and happy to help 😊
Hi David , thanks for great videos ! They are really helpful .. I’m new to this and started with the tc play acoustic but I’m seeing where I’m limited . I know you mentioned this but I want to make sure I understand.. does the voice live 3 allow me to save backing tracks I make ? For example If I’m playing a song where the chorus is different than the rest of the song and I want to make and save a few layers of background harmonies to engage for the chorus only can I do that and save them so when I’m playing a certain song I switch to that preset and my harmonies I created are there ?
Yes - you can create and save them in certain presets if you wish.
Cheers David... Was curious about the button mapping you were talking about with the looper. Song structure wise how are you using play a/b back? Could you give some kind of example?
Hey Dharma, I usually record a rhythm section only on track A, and then build chords/bass on track B. then in a song I will use A/B together for the main loop, then if there is a bridge or something like that, I will just use A (which is rhythm only) and play the bridge section that has different chords. Does that make sense?
@@davidshanhun Yeah I can follow what saying thanks. Do you loop your whole show or mix loop songs with regular ones?
@@gerimayawhyte154 I do a mix. Depending on the point in the night (or what type of gig) i'll favour more loops, or different song choices etc. I often use the wild dog stomp box with songs if they aren't looped to add something extra to the bottom end to drive them though if it's a more party vibe and i'm going from a few looped songs to one that's not.
Thanks a lot for all your videos and help . Still something doesn't work for me with the looper , when i start and there's a click and i begin to record it doesn't sync , pretty frustrating.
Need help , i fell like a single engine aeroplane pilot that drives a spaceship.
On other loopers I'm doing amazing things, it's a shame that it doesn't work for me on the voice live yet .
Hey Asaf! This sounds like the metronome setting is 'on' but also set to 'mute' - it's SUPER frustrating and happened to most of us at some point but it's an easy fix.
Hold down the layers button to go into the looper screen, press | met | and set it to 'off' (if you're not using it).
The other setting that most of us use (and you can check yours) is 'Smart'. Go into the | UTIL | then hit | SYNC | then click SMART. go back and then click SAVE
If you move the settings to the "next preset" do they replace what was on that preset or move everything forward by one position?
if you're writing them to the 'next preset' then they will overwrite what's already there. You would need to make sure that preset is either free, or that you have already copied that 'next preset' to another location if you wish to recall it later etc as it will get overwritten.
@@davidshanhun cool. Nice one for getting back to me. I find it bonkers that there's not just a volume knob on the front of it 😱. So you can extend the amount of presets that are on there then yes? If there were 500 presets and I wanted to copy preset 1 to preset 2 then I could move preset 2 to 501?
With clip protection off don't you find the preset volumes peak and trough as you go through them? Is there any way to balance out the preset volumes from one to the next over all of them?
hey Mr Ryan! Clip protection is only to do with the input gain - making sure signal isn't clipping on the way in to the unit. Unfortunately the VL3 is set up terribly with very inconsistent output volumes for each preset. There's no way to level the output without going in and adjusting it yourself per preset (that I've found up to this point anyway). It's been a frustration for most of us that you eventually forget about as you get presets you enjoy set up to suit.
@@davidshanhun have you run the voicelive directly in to a guitar volume pedal? I'm thinking that this might help a little? Having speaker volumes cranked up to cater for the quieter presets but then when a louder preset comes along then turn to the guitar volume pedal to turn it down 🤷🏻♂️
@@mrryan7475 that would be a solution! I haven't tbh, personally just went through and adjusted the output gain on the amp settings in most cases - a bit of a pain, but I found running into a desk with metering that you can see a pretty effective way to do it and set them all at least at what looks like the same level! (and remembering to save each one along the way haha!)
Thanks for the infos Dear David.I am a keyboard player & I simply can´t get that Talkbox Effect going.I wrote to Tom Lang,No response.Please help me if you know & can.Thanks again
hi there! What issues are you having with it? Keyboard is going into the guitar input on the vl3 yes?
Thank you for vid! Could u tell, is Voicelive 3 has a manual EQ and compressor for vocal? Thanks!
Hey Davo , loved the tutorial you explain it much better the other tutorials. Is there any way to connect the PC / Tablet / Smart phone to Voicelive 3 . Thanks in advance and keep these videos up 👍👍🎼🎤
Hi Michael - yes, via the mini USB output - then with a usb to lightning adapter for iphone/ipad etc. not sure about other options but expect it's just a case of finding the right adaptor to make the connection. There's a great facebook group with a guy Chris Tidestrom that does a lot of cool stuff coming out from the USB option - perhaps check out facebook.com/groups/voicelive3/?multi_permalinks=2916250058412452¬if_id=1586652937323958¬if_t=group_highlights&ref=notif if you get a mo. (let me know if that link works for you btw).
Hello, could you tell me how do I connect a midi keyboard to my voicelive 3 and how do I configure it to hear it?
I can't get it to work.
I want to connect it via usb
thanks .
Hi David! Thank you so much for the tips! I have two questions: for the tip number 2, I don’t have this “mic clip protection” option. Is that normal? My second question is: when I’m stopping a loop, it stops quite abruptly, i was wondering it was possible to keep the reverb and delay going? Thank you so much for your help! It is really really useful! Best
heya, great questions! What mic are you using? and silly question - but you are using a Voicelive 3 rather than VL2 etc yes? There isn't a way in the unit to keep the reverb going, but what I do to get around it - is to simply play the last chord live when i stop the loop - that way the reverb tail still comes off my live guitar chord when I stop and it's not so abrupt :) Hope that helps!
How do I shut off Hard Tune all together.? I'm clearly not doing correctly. Thank you. Love your videos. The programming on this is Not the easiest thing ive ever done. Thats for sure
hey Travis :) Yep can be a bit tricky! Go to the preset you want to adjust, click vocal, then scroll across and turn hardtune to off. You'll then need to save that preset so that it remembers for future! If you have a global preset running - you'd need to adjust it in that, and it will copy to all presets that use global etc. Let me know how you go!
Hi, is it possible the button remapping to a specific preset?
yes - check out this video on doing exactly that - ruclips.net/video/UzwntwA9gvw/видео.html
Hey David. Thanks for the great video and thanks for getting me into looping. As a new loop artist, what would you recommend between the VL3X or RC600?
Some of my key requirements are multiple tracks and onboard effects for guitar and vocals.
VL3X seems amazing though I'm not sure of the max 2 simultaneous tracks.
Really confused here.
hey Farrukh. Great question my friend - it really depends always on your specific needs. I would describe the VL3 as an 'all in one' unit that includes a pretty good looping capability. I would describe the RC600 as an excellent loop pedal that includes other effects.
Overall if you are wanting to get into looping I would go with the RC600, and then if you find you need additional guitar and vocal effects beyond what it provides, I would add and buy the specific gear you need after that.
I still have the VL3 and would take it with me if I needed a compact solution that includes everything all in one pedal. The VL3x is still one of the most powerful vocal and guitar effects units around (I don't have anything else on my mind that really compares to the TC vocal fx personally).
Not sure if this helps you or makes your choice harder haha!
Haha thanks for the reply. You just made my choice easier. Gonna go with the RC600.
Thanks for all the great videos. Will hopefully share my looping adventures soon as well.
I do have some specific challenges with the kind of music I like and play. Maybe you can help with arranging those songs for loops some day 🙂
@@farrukhahmedvideo nice! Haha love to hear about it - feel free to send me a message when you're working things out!
Thanks for the tips David, just researching getting a used vl3 and came across your channel, subscribed and have been working my way through all your videos. Glad you got your's fixed, but your issues and lots of others online have made me feel a little wary! Found a good deal second hand with a boss expression pedal, is it worth taking the plunge after the problems you've had?! I really want this pedal, it looks like it does everything I want, but makes me nervous!
Hey Matt cheers for the comment. I love and hate this pedal haha. If there was something that could replace what it does and do it just as well then i would swap... so far, I haven't found any combo that really does so I'm still using the VL3 and I do love it (when it works). For it's overall size and features it's great - i do feel that there is some risk in buying it with all the issues that are out there. Many are able to be solved on your own, however I had a bad experience with TC's approved repairers in New Zealand who charged me $140 and would not guarantee any of their work, which I then solved myself for $20. The TC helicon social media reps on instagram simply 'like/heart' any mention of TC Helicon, even when it's their fan base saying their TC Helicon pedal stopped working mid gig, or had issues - has happened to me and others. I have had some dealings with people that are part of the TC Helicon team and they seem super nice, overall as a company though I think they have exceptionally terrible customer service. So - with all that said - you gotta choose what you think is right for you. If it works and doesn't have issues you'll have an amazing pedal that you'll absolutely love, if it has issues then do your best to contact TC Helicon and get it sorted, or if it was second hand there's a bunch of self repair advice online that in many cases does work. Long reply mate - but hope that gives you my perspective and experience of the pedals and all of the comments online to take into account!
@@davidshanhun Hi David, Thanks for the in depth reply. I decided to buy new, I think having a warranty is worth it for peace of mind. My local shop sold out while I was procrastinating, hopefully they get some more soon!
Thanks David!! For tip four, could you also just set the vocal preset you like as global ?, seems I can do that with Vl3X. But I guess then your multiple harmony trick with different presets will not work.
Ryan - totally an option! A tough balance to choose though as then you lose the option to have a different vocal sound/setup for any specific songs that you might want!
Nice video man! I have the 3 extreme and it's a game changer for solo acoustic acts. Just curious, what do you have your vocal gain set at and do use "adaptive" or manual EQ?
Hey Frankie, sorry slow reply mate, my settings are... 25db vocal gain (i'm not a loud singer), and then EQ adaptive, shape 51, warmth on. I played around with a few manual settings for a while, but this just works for me so keeping it simple! :) I'm also using a Sennheiser E845 mic, which would change what settings you might want in here also. Hope that helps though!
Hi David,
I recently purchased the Voice live 3. I turn on the guitar reverb but its not working.. can u help me?
I think I can help haha! It's likely the 'effects mix' has your reverb turned off - i've copied a video i made that will start at tip #8 which talks about how to access this. Turn the little knob under GTR reverb up and this should get it all running for you. Let me know how you get on! ruclips.net/video/vuL4Oal_3SU/видео.html
@@davidshanhun Yes! I found it. In the main mix the gtr effect was turned all the way down to -40 dB!
I bought this pedal used, so probably the previous owner tuned it thay way. Anyway, thank u so much:)
@@vinovoda you're welcome - glad it was an easy fix!
Hey man, do you know if it’s possible to set this thing up in stereo? How do you setup your outputs into the PA? Thanks in advance! :-)
Hey Stephen I wanted to ask the same question. Also I want to know how your connect your tablet / PC ?
absolutely possible. Go into 'setup', output, then xlr output mode to stereo. Then you would have 2 xlr's out - put them into the desk going to your PA system as 1 and 2. Pan one of them hard left, the other hard right - then whatever stereo spread/effects etc you have on the VL3 will come through to the PA.
hey Michael - answered the stereo question replying above to Stephen, and responsed with a link to your other question about connecting to tablet/PC. Let me know how you go!
David Shanhun thanks! Is that how you set yours up? Wouldn’t that just send the vocals to the left speaker and the guitar to the right, and sound a little strange? I’m a little confused tbh. Is it better to go stereo for a solo acoustic set or just put everything on one channel and go mono?
@@stephenrourke5404 if you are running just out the xlr in stereo it will send both guitar and vocals to both, and any stereo effects will accurately pan etc between speakers.
I have what seems a big issue. I just bought the VL 3 extreme.
i do not have any dry output from xlr 'voice - L mono' output when 'mono output' mode in setup menu is selected. What I mean is NO sound/signal can be heard when no effect is on. And activating an effect e.g delay or reverb or (it would seem) doubling etc, results in hearing only those wet output signals. This also occurs if the output mode is set to ‘stereo’, in this instance both left and right voice outputs only output fx wet signal.
did you buy it new or second hand? I'd have to do some digging but sounds like a settings issue. Might be worth doing a reset seeing as it's new to you so you won't lose any saved sounds etc - ruclips.net/video/O-DbzhVeTxA/видео.html
@@davidshanhun second hand. Factory reset did it. ❤️🙏
Very useful, thanks! I used to use my VL3 a lot and typically linked presets to looper slots (I only used the looper for backing tracks). Now after a while of not using the VL3 I cannot remember how I used to get the preset and loop slot linkage to survive a power off!! :( I can change to a preset then with the looper/util menu change the slot number but if I then power off/on it goes back to slot 1. I have tried storing the preset twice and also save slot within the looper. I don't suppose you can recall how to do this i.e. preset/loop slot linkage survives power off/on? Many thanks!
Hey Jez! When you are on the preset you want, press the 'looper' button, and scroll right to 'preset'. 'Looper Load slot' will currently be switched to 'off'. Switch this to whichever looper slot number you want and you're done! Press 'looper' again to exit. Hope that helps and you're having fun getting back into it!
@@davidshanhun That was it! Thanks a bunch David :)
Thanks
Hey David. Another cool video and I liked all of your tips. For tip #7 (having different harmonies), I've gotten use to adding Steps within a Preset but your way is quicker so I'll be changing methods lol. Like yourself, I also want everything on my VOX layer because I want to be able to see if harmony is on or off. I have one question if I may. I noticed when you talked about mic clip protection, that your GLB pitch Correction was at 0...I have mine at 50% thinking that maybe it could help a little should I be a little flat/sharp on a singing note. Is there a reason why yours is at 0. Thank you.
What is glb pitch correction? Is that the same as autotune?
Ya I believe they both work in similar ways.
Hi Germain. Both the steps or the preset way for changing harmonies are pretty good - just choose whichever works best for you!
The reason my pitch correction is off, is that my own pitching vocally is excellent, and I don't want anything messing with it, or trying to adjust my pitch especially when there is no guitar signal - eg acapella vocals. I can't actually remember if the GLB is set to 440 Hz, or triggered by the guitar, but I remember noticing it very early on when i got the unit, that it sounded odd especially if playing a small venue with low PA volume. Then you hear both your own voice, plus the slight pitch correction - and they have then a bad clash as they are ever so slightly different.
I suggest doing whatever feels right for you - it's a handy tool, and I think can work excellently well in certain situations, just isn't right for me hence turning it off!
Hey David, thank you for your elaborate reply. Now that you mentioned hearing both voices (your own and a slight pitch correction), I have heard that on a couple of songs I sing and so I'll try bringing it down to zero and see if there is a difference. Thank you. I hope you had a great show in Japan.
@@davidshanhun Hi David, I'm Brazilian and I love your videos, I'll change my presets. In your answer to your colleague's question, I found a solution for myself, thank you.

Hey there,
Wanted to ask , which will be the best suited pa speaker or amplifier to use along with this device????
Hey Vinamra - this will work with any speaker system you run into. Speaker or amplifier will depend much more on what sort of shows you are doing and the number of people you expect to be performing to! 😊
I've just bought VL3 Extreme and I've noticed that the tone of my acoustic guitar is worst when it's plugged in the VL3. It's like more digital/plastic sound... any suggestion?Thanks for your video, really helpful
Hey Francesco - I do find that there can be a bit of this sound from the VL3 - it varies on the guitar signal running through it, and then also where it's then getting sent. I notice it when running into my cheap in ears, but not through my FOH system particularly. I find it more obvious on some of the overdrive gain effects and amp settings. I'm mostly playing acoustic however, so less noticeable, and if you've come from all analogue pedals, then moving to digital will always be noticeable. What gear/guitar are you running?
Does anyone have a list of the real names of the artist?song on the presets on VL3X as i am having trouble linking them to the real name etc. E.G SALTY MAN,
I have the same issue sometimes haha! Not sure there is a complete list available, but perhaps someone will comment having made one?!
Please help! Why doesn’t my tc helicon voicelive3 not have mic clip protection. It isn’t there!
what software version is your unit running?
@@davidshanhun where would I find this?Firmware says 1.0.20 build 120
Another thing. I work with a band and I am always hooked up to the keyboard midi. Some really strange things have been happening lately. I'll be singing a phrase with harmonies and all of a sudden the harmonies just top! I realized that I have the harmonies set on Natplay auto sense. Should I change it to midi? To me it sounds like it has more to do with clip protection but I don't have this option. I'm wondering if there is anything I need to do with the db. Lead is on 0 for most options and harmonies are on -6db but it's not like the red light turns on. When I do the set up mic gain it usually settles on 32 db. I wish there were more videos on how to used this with a band and an actual keyboard. Lots of singers in bands are using this and are hooked up to keyboards and there is so little explanation. I have a feeling I got a pedal that is too advanced and too complicated for what I actually need it for. An easy hook via midi to the keyboard that can do harmonies and have a few effects.
firmware is at - download the update and voicesupport. I suggest you spend time reading the manual for this unit. There is a lot in it, and it will take some time and learning to get to grips with it all.

Hey! Just got the VL3X, having switched over from the old TC Helicon singles. At 3:30, you flip through “Main Setup” and “Main Setup 2”. How do you get to those blank presets?
Hey Tom - when you click 'save' to save your presets - it lets you choose which blank preset to store them to and you can name them whatever you like. I have simply saved them to 368 and 369 when i created them, and then it's a simple 'up' or 'down' to switch between them once saved.
with clip protection on with really low input level to me sound better i think u get a more compressed signal ...tell me what u think ...really really low input so what u say wont happen
if you're getting a good sound thats the main thing! So long as you aren't clipping, there shouldn't be an issue with how high or low the signal level is, although there is the chance of getting more 'electrical noise' in the chain (potentially) if the signal is too low. Your ears will tell you what is working well for you though, and sounds like you have a good sound which is awesome!

Have you used the VoiceLiveEditor app for your box? It's a bad a$$ way to configure your box. If you don't know, because it's GUI, it really simplifies editing and managing presets, even backups, with the click of a mouse. And it can store up to 10,000 presets that I can download into my box! It advertises it allows the use of set-lists, but I haven't used that yet since I'm just getting started w/ both my VL box and the VoiceLiveEditor software. I made an unsponsored RUclips video that demos the s/w: ruclips.net/video/R0bwKLrnh7I/видео.html

Great tips, David. I was wondering about the the threshold cutoff for guitar and didn't know where the setting was. So here's a question for you. So I have a bunch of .manual presets setup -- about 40 of them. I like the idea of switching harmony types within the same song by using different presets. Is there any way of inserting a preset into the unit so that existing presets move up one to make space for it (instead of overwriting the preset)?
Hey Mark, good timing for the noise gate then eh! The easiest solution for you that I can think of would be to use the Voicesupport 2 app and connect your Voicelive 3 to your computer. Will make it easier to drag your presets to later slots and start to make some space to then insert new presets into the mix. Let me know how you go!
