[quote name='ZPQ' post='11653' date='Jun 4 2007, 01:54 AM']Do they offer any pitch correction features?

Sounds like one of these would be perfect for some of the def leppard numbers we play, but being slightly off-key is bad with one note it would be painful with 3 or 4 part harmony.

Thanks

Hi!
The pitch correction seems to be pretty good I,ve only managed to use it when setting up hamony patches as yet and still haven,t figured out wether it does pitch correction alone, still its mainly only necessary when in harmony mode.
The harmony effect is fantastic( up to four different parts), and you have to add some of the vibrato effects to make it sound less perfect as it really is like a barbershop and can see this working well with a def lep sound, my band is less pomp rock than DL, a bit more proggy but that really classy "done in the studio" sound is fairly easy.
There is a fair bit of programming involved tho as you can,t just key in "oh this song is in E" and expect it to produce loads of wow sounds straight away.
You have to take the part you are singing and work out the key changes in that part and set up each line at a time, You can then set up a song patch change sequence to shift between the parts to produce the sound you want.
I,m still playing with this so I,ll have to keep playing with it till I get it sussed but first signs are good.

Getit recorded and get it out there!!!
Go for it

You should hear burping in five part harmony!!!!

Hi!
No offence taken:-)
Actually we only take as much gear as we need and for most of the time the guitarists use 1 4x12 and a jc120 combo each and i use 1 8x10 as most of the gigs we have done have been smallish clubs like the Intake at mansfield etc.
we simply use more depending on the size of the venue and wether we are headling or support.
We simply like to put on a good show whenever we play which is why we also have a big lightshow and about 14k of pa to put on our own shows later this yearto promote the new album we are releasing hopefully around august.

I bet the crowd get blasted onto the back wall with a rig like that!

Nice setup though. I bet your guitarist hates you [/quote]


Actually tony and nick use 8 4x12s and three jc120 combos between them so they can fire back!!!!

I usually find that buying online is usually cheapest as long as you buy from a uk seller,unless you use someone like thomman in germany.
I,ve found that buying stuff from the states is more expensive than it first seems, sometimes you save but it isn,t always worth the hassle.
Shops tend to have more overheads than a website so it,s rare to find a shop thats cheaper, I,d go for the web!

Just got a TC Voicelive Helicon vocal effect thingy!!!!!
Damn! what fun!!!! I can now sing along with muse on Knights of cydonia and sound just as silly :-)
It,s got the best vocal reverbs and delays i,ve heard and the harmony effects are just stunning this thing will put barbershop quartets out of business, I,ve been doing backing vocals for a long time and always wondered about getting an intelligent pitch changer to do harmony parts when they are needed but alot of the older stuff never quite cut it but this thing is great.
It takes a fair bit of programming to select the parts you want to use harmonys on, as it has to be set to the key for the part you are singing and I,m just getting into that now.
oh well back to reading the manual!!!

I don,t know of a general uk number but we use Apex couriers branch in Bourn lincs and they can probably tell you who to call in your area.
Their phone number is 01778 394454

Thats Brilliant, I like his thinking!!!

I must confess to not being much of a slap fan myself, I prefer a pick, and only go as far as a quick slap and string pull to finish off a particular part, but I think you can fall into a good groove just by getting a good rapport with the drummer and getting into the music.

I stand corrected :-)

Hello, I learn hinglish fromabook!

Hey It,s jazz, you shouldn,t take it at all seriously

Ampeg 8x10 cabs are made of chipboard.

Starts doing the "home improvement Tool Time" arh arh arh arh!!!

Well I guess you could ask jon to fit a DMX circuit in the bass and have it set so there is always a different color to the one on stage, Hoping of course that the stage lights are run via DMX.
I know I,ll shut up!!!!

This all reminds me of the "funny fingerboard" ideas that were rife back in the eighties the oddest of all was probably the Bond guitars with their stepped boards, I had the pleasure of setting up a few of those things a few years back and they were quite playable after a period of getting used to them.

If you want a tip for the future Try using apex couriers, they have depots around the uk and treat stuff as it was their own.
We,ve shifted loads of gear with them and they are miles better than the numpties at at PF.

I,m waiting to see their all valve heads that they are bringing out.

I have a HB classical roundback guit*r and It is perfect.

I must say they do an interesting range, did you see the tripleneck guitar!!
I must admit I don,t know what they are like to play but at that price I,d guess it,s worth a punt.

The guys in the band said they couldn,t hear me!!!!

These pics were posted on the other sites but here it goes again.

Ampeg 8x10 and svt2pro works for me

IBANEZ.
Should have a vote of its own.
