Topic: Help seting up Voice works. Can it be used like a vst in sonar ?

Hi all!

This is my first post here :)

I bought a voice works becasue I thoguht it would be a nice bit of kit for my home studio and I am very glad I did

Ok so here is whats goin on......

I have everything set up and working great

I use Sonar producer8.5.3 I have it linked through my V700 so I can record a dry sound then audition the voice works sounds over the top then when I am happy with the sound do an audio freeze of the track and BAM its done :D

I heard there was a download that would let me use the unit as a vst plug in ? (Is this true can some one please confurm this for me ?)

I donwloaded what I thought was it from the website but when I install it and try to load it its not loading properly

This Is what I downloaded and cant get to work http://www.tc-helicon.com/VoiceWorksEditor.asp

I am useing windows 7 64

Any one know if this is a 32bit - 64 bit issue ?

I emailed tec support about a week ago about the issue but they have yet to answer......

Re: Help seting up Voice works. Can it be used like a vst in sonar ?

I have actualy set it up like a vst in sonar so I aint that botherd if I dont get the plug in to work but......

What I have done is set it up to use the pre amp on the Vs700 then send from out put one to the voice works then back to the VS 700 input 1-2

With the external insert set up.

That way I can audition efx over the dry sound just like I would a vst and its really cool to do that.

Its my first bit of out board gear I have bought so I am happy I got it working like that but there is problems......

when I turn on the external insert it makes the vocals very quiet;(

So I tryed increasing the line in on the voiceworks but then it just starts to clip on the meeter thats on the voiceworks and starts sounding distorted.

I then bring the line in level back down and try in creasing the sends and returns in the external insert and same thing it will clip on the voice works but it will also then clip on the send and return in the external efx window.... But not actualy on the track in sonar.(its very strange)

So if I then turn the efx off again I am back to a nice loud dry signal just like I recorded but with out the use of the voice works

I need to find a way to get the levels up and keep them sounding good no cliping etc when I am auditioning them

I am out of ideas and I am very new to recording let alone out board gear as I said this is my first bit I have bought so is a big learning curve for me any help on geting it sounding good would be awesome.

Thanks to all

Hiya Norrie,

There is a parameter in Setup called OutLev in VoiceWorks. This can be tweaked to provide more or less output level. Is it possible it was changed before you got the unit?

Otherwise, VoiceWorks has lots of output level, perhaps you need to check the mixer app that came with your computer I/O box?? Just a thought...

As far as the editor goes, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t written with Win7 in mind and as far as I know, it’s not compatible.

Best wishes,

Joey
