Topic: new user VoiceLive issues

I've purchased a 2nd hand Voicelive floor unit, to my knowledge it's the first VL floor unit of it's type and then VL 2 was next.

It seems that all the functions work, however some things are not clear in the manual.

I'm confused about the global effects setting. It seems that delay, reverb and dely time only work when global is on. The issue there is that it's applied to every preset. The Manual tells us what these settings do but does not always offer clear step by step process as to how to achieve a result or deliver a troubleshooting page.

My preset settings appear not to save, even after the "successful" saved command.

I downloaded the software editor. It seems it's for the VL 1, has anybody used this as an editor and are there issues?

Any help would be appreciated
thanks
Mike

Re: new user VoiceLive issues

I am still learning about this unit myself, but I have learned a lot more recently than I knew about it a month ago. So I will try to help. Yes the global settings apply to every preset, even though they appear in the setting when you edit any preset, if you change the global settings on one preset, it changes the global settings for all the presets. The reason for this is because the global settings deal with overall sound of the unit in relation to the mixer (or whatever) you are hooking it to. In other words, once you have the global setting dialed in, you want that to apply to all the settings, because they do not deal with specifics like harmonies, or keys, etc. Compression, Gate, and EQ are some of the global settings. And maybe I am misunderstanding the statement you made, but Global Settings are always on(by that I mean they apply to all presets, not that if the setting is set to Off that it is On). Reverb and Delay are NOT part of the global settings those can be changed on each preset.

In order to save your settings, click the edit button, make the changes to the setting that you want to change, then click the Store button, at this point you have the opportunity to change the name of the preset, then click Store again and you should get a message that says "Preset Store Successful". I hope this helps, if that doesn't work for you then maybe there is something wrong with your unit. Like I said I am no pro, but if that turns out to be the case, then one thing I would suggest would be to try to reset it to factory defaults, then see if that changes anything with your ability to save your edited presets.

So just to reiterate. Push "Edit", make changes, push "Store", then push "Store" again. And you should get a message "Preset Store Successful".

Another thing I would HIGHLY recommend is reading through pages 10 to 44 of the User Manual. It is helpful beyond belief. You will learn a lot about the settings and how they work by reading this. If you do not have the manual since you bought yours used, then here is a link to them. Trust me, you will thank me for advising to read this if you take the time to sit down with the unit and read this. If you have any questions feel free to ask, although like I said, I am still learning it myself. This is an absolutely amazing tool for vocalists and it can be a lot of fun to use is you can figure out how to use it correctly.

Re: new user VoiceLive issues

Haha, yeah I know, I have a real problem. I just mentioned it in another post about quitting smoking(a 6 to 10 paragraph post that reads like a novel). I am a verbose person, and I don't know the meaning of summarize.

Good luck, I hope it helps.

Re: new user VoiceLive issues

Lengthy reply equals good, good luck with the quitting, i've done it and it can be done! : )

Re: new user VoiceLive issues

Yeah, I quit about 6 mo's ago. I am using the e-cig and I don't even miss the real cigs. So I am confident that I am done with them. So did that work out for you on saving the preset edits?

Re: new user VoiceLive issues

I'm still figuring out the preset thingy, ie playin around with it... i need to determine if it's all ok or not... for example... i'm not hearing the changes I make (reverb etc). How does one reset this thing? : )

Re: new user VoiceLive issues

Hey KillingZoe, finally some light. The unit works fine, I got someone to check it out for me who knows it. The settings from the previous user had confused the issues a little. I'm starting to programme the presets, I read your earlier posts , all good
thanks
Mike
