I have a TC Helicon VoiceLive 2. This has got to be the ultimate vocal processor out now, and it is completely accessible, if you can operate menus from notes. I have notes for all of the menus. You plug a mic directly in to it, and the output can be recorded directly in to Sonar. The input stage cleans up the incoming signal from the mic with a de-esser, a gate, a compressor, and an EQ. The unit has automatic calibration functions that will set these up for you, your mic, and your voice. If you don't know how to use these tools really well, a box like this can be fairly close to an automatic engineer for your vocals. They come out sounding very produced. Once the vocals are cleaned up, you can process them through an automatic pitch corrector (just like auto-tune). It has automatic scale settings, or you can program your own (all accessible). For vocals, it also has cool transducer effects that let you sound like you're talking through phones, loud speakers, etc. Of course, the core of the VL2 is an 8 voice harmonizer, and a second 4 voice doubler/virtual multitracking effect. The harmonizer can generate up to 8 part background vocals based on listening to incoming music, or you can control it directly by playing your keyboard in to it over MIDI. You can also set the harmonizer to a single voice mode, control it with MIDI, and have a version of the autotune/hard-tune effect that is keyboard controlled. The VL2 has lots of other stuff: built-in independent effects units for modulation/phase, reverb, delay, formant shifters for all 12 virtually generated voices, independent compression/eq/reverb/mod for a separately connected guitar, and others. It costs about $800.

It's only $250 and works very well. I bought one about a month ago. The roland VP 7 will also do auto tune pitch correction, reverb and delay, as well as vocal harmonies. the Roland VP 7 is midi capable as well. It can be patched into your keyboard and will do both vocoder and talk box simulation as good as anything else I've ever come across. It costs about $600. There are tons of Youtube videos on both the boss VE 20 pedal and The Roland VP 7 vocal processor. ________________________________ From: hansson.jogge@xxxxxxxx To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: autotune replication Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 14:58:12 +0200 Hi annabell!
