A quick comment about the correction shown here: You're hearing both the corrected signal and the room-mic/PA, so it's "phasing" between her uncorrected (natural) and processed voice. The phasing sound generally isn't heard by the crowd, since they don't hear your un-amplified stage voice. Same goes for recording. Thanks for the review!

Haha, well spotted! Lloyd worked at Andertons when this video was made so he was acting as 'andertons guy' - everyone thought it might be a bit confusing if he mentioned that he was also in the band so he acted like he wasn't. In the more recent TC Helicon/Andertons video we both said we were in the band though. It was a bit weird having him interview me as if he knew nothing about the band haha!

@moonkef 11 жыл бұрын

Pitch correct wont work if you're too far off the target note else it will 'tune' you to the nearest semi tone so you have to be reasonably in tune to begin with. The pedal just helps make precise tuning of already/almost perfect singing.

@STeebs001 12 жыл бұрын

No it's because of the camera mic in the room at the same time. You are hearing her through both the tuned version (via desk) and the untuned version too (via camera mic). In a live situation with a PA, the corrected voice is the one only heard. One person who does hear it though, is the singer. Because they hear themselves via conductive hearing, they get that sense of chorusing which can be strange. With other products in their range then you can output wet/dry, but not through the MM.

@jimmy5634 5 жыл бұрын

There are moderate ways to use this pedal that will add a lot to the average song and the average singer. This was a mostly pop and extreme sampling. I like the delay and a little moderate reverb for helping smooth out vocals and take away the dry sound.

i watched another tc helicon vid that explained this. yes you are hearing her live voice and also the pitch corrected voice both being picked up by the camera mic. this causes a phasing or chorus sound, but in a live situation through a pa on stage the audience would only here the corrected

She sounds really good with a lower Pitch Correction thing. I, myself, would burst that knob up to 100 because I need it. Love the tone feature and those amazing reverbs. The delay sounds, I would say, weird.

Lisa is one lovely lady. She sure know how to sing. I really enjoyed it and I also think this is a great product. Usually, when you think of pedals; it would be for the bass and guitar player. Now they have one for the singers and maybe the singers should start thinking about building their own pedal collection and buy a pedal board. Peace, Flood!

+Sam Jewell I blame the dude, he wasn;t acting casual or making her feel comfortable. He was talking like everything was just a plain script. He was making her explain herself all the time on the spot, and he made her explain how to use the pedal and do all the work. He's the person who works at the store, he's supposed to know the stuff they sell inside out and be able to sell it. Not get guests on then expect them to do it all for him after ONLY 5 minutes looking at the thing.

I like the magic tone button which basically does what you'd do in the studio. Now you have that level of processing at even the grottiest pub gig. Guitarists, bassists and keyboards have had this for decades, drummers now have triggers so why not have processing between the mic and house P.A? :o)

@AndrewVanDay 12 жыл бұрын

Question; have you put the sound through a PA and then recorded that sound with the camera's built-in-mic? If so, as I suspect, then we do not get a clear idea of exactly how good the pedal is because we don't know how poor the built-in-mic is. I recommend (unless I am wrong and you have done) recording the sound separately from the mixing desk, then adding that to the pictures.

I wish instead of a knob for the type of reverb to use, it had a foot switch that could click through the different types of reverb - playing guitar and singing then having to bend over to turn a knob sucks :) But I guess it's better/cheaper than getting a model with preset capabilities huh?

Don’t get me wrong folks here I’m just having a little fun With the wild color hair and giant funny flower. Im sure she’s a great artist and musician but come on guys and gals she’s asking for a little fun poked at her with the Wild color of her hair. Please no disrespect ment here.

Pitch correction sounds like a robot yodeled strangled chicken Sharp shifts not slow at 50% Finally at 9:23 she tunes it to 1/4 much better. Is there any youtube demo that demos the pitch shift primarily? We are an old garage band and sometimes have guest singers who "really Love the song" but sing flat. I have watched 6 You tubes that showcase the reverb echo Well ok but playing for a GUEST gotta have some ON PITCH vocals or you wanna just quit. So, I bought a eBay Mic Mechanic I have 14 days to return it so, we will see. I have a TC Helicon Voice live 2 and it does quite an acceptable job but it was $500 new one singer. So wish me luck I may make a quick YT video focusing on pitch correction, but this is the ONLY video that came remotely close, and its not what I wanted.
