«  A TOUCH OF MAGIC »

Value For Money : Excellent
It is not a rack, it is not a pedal, but what is it? It is a device that attaches to a microphone stand in 2 seconds, and the concept is really great. A small box for all smooth or even once the cables are hidden from public view, which is controlled with a simple swipe of a finger, that's really great.

UTILIZATION

I just flew over the manual, as the use of the machine is simple.Tout is available with a simple click, change the values ​​of a finger touch is very playful, are found happiness in a few seconds and saves its settings instantly.
Using integration in a DAW system is USB and no problem. In a small config, touch Voice can even serve as main sound card.

SOUND QUALITY

The main advantage of the machine is its sound quality. The mic preamp is excellent. The effects are the same as the Voice Live2, and it's really beautiful.
Acoustic guitar effects are also very high. But we can not settle for any one of the user memories, this limitation makes the machine unusable on stage in the state. Fortunately, there is an exit that allows to recover the signal for external processing after the voice touch have analyzed for voice processing.
The other solution, c is the midi foot, I use a FCB1010 because the implementation is complete afternoon of Voicetouch and still allows it to control all the settings of guitar effects. With him, I control all up, the effects voice, guitar, looper, and also Ableton on a laptop connected to the USB Voice Live to trigger audio clip. More than my guitar and a gym bag to carry but what freedom to travel light!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month, I have long hesitated before VoiceLive 2 with the purchase, but since it can not control guitar effects foot, I chose this model. It's just that the outputs are not balanced and that I must use a direct box. on the other hand, it hurts less than a pedal back because all the settings are right at your fingertips. What a joy!
I used harmonizeurs and pitch-correction plug-in, but now we are not in the same world, everything is easier and sounds better right away, it is designed for live performance.
I love the touch screen is really comfortable and fast.
But above all, it is the sound quality and intelligence analysis of this machine is great.
But the thing is, it is absolutely necessary just sing. Otherwise it will not forgive. No, concert, picht correction is not made to reset an uncertain voice. This is possible in the studio, it's tedious and in my opinion it serves no purpose. But on stage, it is just that a good singer can make an effect to Cher, but the voice must be fully seated. When backing vocals, just a little sour note when it is amplified by eight, it can go unnoticed, and it is horrible. It is a machine that flatters all the beautiful, the ugly, we need to know before you buy, because it does nothing for us and not replace singing lessons when they are needed. The magic limits.
To conclude long ago that I had not been sure of buying LA Machine for the treatment of essential voice, I séparerais maybe one day in 20 years? Who knows?
