V6 Vocal Processor

[Rosham Rosebure]

Vocalprocessors are digital effect devices that allow you to add various effects to your voice or manipulate and completely transform it. In addition to effects that are already well-known in the recording studio, such as reverb or delay, our V-Series Multi-Effects Processors also offer special effect algorithms for voice and vocals, such as various harmonisation options, pitch correction, real-time formant alteration and a wide variety of voice distortion effects. The features of our vocal effect units also include a built-in microphone preamplifier with XLR input and switchable +48V phantom power, meaning both dynamic and condenser microphones can be connected directly. The audio signal is output via one balanced line output. In addition, the V3 Vocal Processor and the V6 Vocal Processor also offer a USB connection so that you can also operate them as an audio interface directly on a PC or Mac and thus use them for live streaming, video conferencing or operation with DAW software, for example.

A looper allows you to loop certain phrases, i.e. record them and then play them back in a loop to sing along with them live. Several layers can then be created one by one using your voice, which creates interesting options for loop artists, hip-hop, rap vocals and beat boxers. The V6 Vocal Processor even allows you to loop your effect-altered voice, which opens up unprecedented creative possibilities for your live performance.

Another popular style of vocal processors is the desktop vocal effects unit. The Zoom V3 Vocal Processor, released in 2020, is our compact effects processor for voice and vocals in a convenient desktop format that fits on every desk. It can be operated directly and creatively via buttons and dials, which also allows for real-time editing during vocal performances.

Some voice processors like our V3 and V6 Vocal Processors can also be connected to a computer via USB and used as a USB audio interface. This allows you to take your live stream performance to a whole new level with the different voice effects.

The microphone you use plays a major role in the sound quality of the voice effects produced. The cleaner the signal received by the voice processor, the better it works. The quality of the effects produced depends crucially on whether the effects processor receives only the pure signal of your voice or if it is accompanied by ambient noise, as can occur on a stage, for example. We developed the ZOOM SVG-6 microphone for precisely this reason. A special microphone that is perfectly suited for use with the V3 Vocal Processor and the V6 Vocal Processor, the SVG-6 uses a similar technology to directional microphones, where noise from the side and rear is suppressed by the directional characteristic of the microphone.

Could an effects processor like a boss ve20 with some soft pitch correction (i miss pitches sometimes) and a few other effects like reverb, chorus, compressor, etc... help make me sound passable? I know it won't make me good, but can it get me sounding passable?

The answer is no, don't do it! No gadget is gonna fix poor singing but you will surely burn some bridges with venues if you don't deliver, if I am paying to see a band and I get mediocre I would get pissed!

I would forego pitch correction and focus more on learning to sing on key but as far as reverb and whatnot making a mediochre voice sound better? It will certainly make your vocal sound more full and professional. Hell it's been working for me

I agree that pitch correction is a less useful effect than many people believe--when it works it's usually detectable and (unless you're doing hip-hop or some other style where people expect hard-tuning) it sounds bad, unprofessional. If you're close to the pitch the correction doesn't really do much and you're better off without it; if you're far enough away from pitch to need the correction, you're going to sound like Kanye or T-Pain.

But the other effects bundled into devices like the VE20 can make a huge difference, both in your tone and in your confidence. Some compression, eq, delay, and 'verb will most certainly improve the sound of your vocals. There are purists around who dismiss even these crucial effects, but professional vocalists always use them, and if you go on stage without some mixture of these sweeteners you will sound unprofessional. Obviously lighter effects will sound more natural than stadium-sized echo patches, but don't do without at least some of this stuff.

Well, IMHO, there are a lot of mediocre singers who have been very successful as vocalists (Bob Dylan comes immediately to mind). If, however, the problem is not being able to sing in tune with the song, any autotune tool is probably going to make you sound like a rapper. Reverb and delay will help smooth out a rough voice, but the out-of-tune stuff will still be there.

I remember hearing a John Travolta song on the radio (his first big "hit") back in the late 70s and the DJ was making fun of his inability to sing on key, interrupting the song every few minutes by saying, "Sing, John, sing!!"

i think is better that you improve, because you can use a software but what you gonna do when you have a live performance? if you use auto tune you gonna sound like a robot, i think everyone can sings in they own way so just keep practique i know pitch is very hard I am musical student about four months ago and i still have a lot of trouble with my pitch but the point is no matter what bad can sound our voice the important is that we use our voice as they are good luck man

Just had a listen. To be honest, this was a lot better than I expected! There are pitch issues that need to be worked on, BUT if you're doing stuff in the style of Social D or any punkish band for that matter, you can almost get away with being pitchy every now and then. I would definitely work on it some more, but sounds like your headin in the right direction. Mike Ness sounds like censored live, lol.

Back to my original question, Can the ve20 help make me sound better? Significantly? I'm just looking to be passible for a few gigs. I don't need people saying "that guy is good" I just dont want anyone saying "that sucked!!"

What? If the guy is filling in as "singer" for a couple gigs, why waste money on a vocal processor if your gonna find a new singer anyways? If you want to be the singer, money would be better spent on proper training than a toy to cover up flaws, one would think..

Otherwise - assuming you are a guitar player(?) - you may want to look at something like the Harmony G XT which has reverb, pitch correct (better than the VE I imagine) and does harmony using your guitar input.

I don't, only because it's such a limited platform. I'd be more open to it if we could hear how a sound will process before we commit to singing the entire song. How do you make micro adjustments without real time monitoring? If you do monitor it, how do you eliminate latency while performing?

I don't use USB I use a I rig mic pRE into YAMAHA MG10 mixer hooked to a BOSS VE-20. It now will go through my new Behringer FX3D2000 VOCAL PROCESSOR and vocals come out of a TC helicon mic mechanic all cable is mogami gold cable

Hi, Just getting info. What kind of vocal processor(s) would you recommend getting to help pretty bad singers? I'm not talking 100% obnoxiously tone-deaf, someone who is pretty much on key, but sounds pretty bad? What auto pitch correctors, effects, etc? I would really appreciate any advice.

When I was growing up, one of our next door neighbors had patented a machine for FMC that hospitals used to grind up amputated limbs and organs (called "The Organ Grinder" if memory serves). I hope this helps.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to encourage someone with an ugly vocal timbre to keep singing... Anyway. You say that he/she is pretty much on key, so it's not a matter of intonation. Heavy eq usually makes things worse, but a mic modeler could help.

The first two are to be panned hard left and right, very short delay time (anything from 20 to 110 millisecond, depending on the type of voice - experiment), delay times differentiated a bit, very little feedback, highs cut down drastically, mixed fairly low.

The third delay line is panned center and has a quite long delay time (anywhere from 400 to 1500 msec, or better yet, in sync with the song's quarter notes or half notes), very little feedback (you're supposed to hear one repetition clearly, plus maybe the shadow of a second one), highs cut down just a bit, mixed a bit higher than the first two lines.

I saw on the news something that was aimed at bad karaoke singers. I was a program that re-shaped the singing in sine waves, and it made the singing much better, probobly too much better. I have no idea what the name of the product is, but it's out there.

However, there was one show-stopper: the software relies on an activation method, similar to Windows XP, so if they go out of business, and your PC burps and you need to get another unlock code, what then?

I have been trying to look for the vocal effects that singers like Brian Fair of Shadows Fall and Randy Blythe of Lamb of God and other heavy metal singers use, but i cant seem to get an answer to a simple question.

I reviewed 4 performance videos of the various artists you have provided including Brian Fair, Randy Blythe, and Hatebreed. I did not observe any vocal effects other than perhaps the standard overly compressed sound as is native to this genre.

Most metal vocalists do nothing live, save for using the little reverb they provide at most venues. It's all about using your voice correctly, the microphone properly & using the inherent proximity effect when the two combine.

Ok, so I'm the guitarist and backup vocals for my band. I have read that the helix has some pretty good capabilities for vocal processing, and with the number of inputs and outputs available, I'm wondering if there is a way to process guitar and vocals at the same time then run into the PA, using 2 separate channels, one for guitar and one for vocals. The sticking point I see is how to control and switch effect for both. Would I have to program a guitar and vocal effects for each Guitar preset?
