steelman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Perhaps there is a vocal website that I should be asking this... If so - advise me! I'm the bass player in our band and the solo backing vocalist.. I like to think I specialise in harmony and the previous incarnation of our band had a guitarist that could sing a bit to complement me. Our singer is very good!! My problem is - we're lacking in the backing vocals - I can't provide the whole range, I tend to be a high register vocalist and without another backing vocalist, the vocals are a bit 'thin'. The guitarist borrowed a TC Helicon voicelive and left it with me to play with! I hate artificial sounds and the voicelive seemed to be an accompaniment to a lead vocal.. very good, but awkward to put in backing vocals, plus sometimes the singer may alter what he does and the normal backing may have to change ... Is there a product which can double / harmonise a backing vocal that is simple to use? I am also the 'desk' manager so it has to be simple to use or I'm going to go into 'lock up' at gigs!!! Interested in your thoughts people!! C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Pretty sure Boss makes one.. or maybe that was something else. Damn, I swear I saw one somewhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Tipping Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Our singer uses the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]TC Helicon live .. it's an awesome bit of kit! Think she may have the 2? programmes it for every song on our set list and brings in harmonies etc. when needed .. If it's just for your harmonies can you not just put your mic into it?[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 TC, Boss (+Roland), Digitech and EH all do reasonably cheap processors. The later pods can be used but are limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Boss VE-20 is popular at the mo and does simple easy to program harmonies and a bit of reverb and delay. The patches are selectable from the two switches but you have to stand on one for 2 secs, select your patch, and stand on it again for two secs. Bit of a faff. The TC Helicon range is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
