Here are a few common methods of using VoiceLive Touch with a USB-
connected computer and an audio application (DAW):
1.
Capturing a full mix of your performance
2. Processing vocals from your DAW
3. Recording dry vocal and guitar tracks
We assume you are familiar with configuring your audio application for
input and output and that you understand connection of VoiceLive
Touch’s inputs and outputs.
Method 1 - Capturing a full mix of your performance:
Set VoiceLive Touch’s Setup menu parameters as such:
6 USB: STEREO
Connect your mic, headphones and optionally an instrument to
VoiceLive Touch and pick a preset you like.VoiceLive Touch will send the
fully processed sound to your DAW and you’ll be able to monitor
through your headphones. Set the input and output devices of your
destination DAW track to VoiceLive Touch. If you are singing along with
pre-recorded tracks, set those track outputs Touch as well so you can
monitor through your headphones.
Method #2 - Processing vocals from your DAW:
You’ll need a fully dry mono vocal track and optionally, a dry instrument
track (guitar or keyboard) or midi performance track if you plan to use
harmony.To use VoiceLive Touch as an effects insert, set the Setup menu
parameter as such:
6 USB: INSERT
Configure an aux send in your DAW to send the vocal track via USB to
VoiceLive Touch’s left input and the guitar track to the right.
To record a 100% wet track that will be mixed with the dry lead vocal
track, set the LEAD MUTE parameter to ON in the Advanced Setup
menu. If a guitar track is used to control harmony, the GUITAR MUTE
parameter in the same menu should also be set to ON.
To record an output track that will replace the original vocal track such
as when you use HardTune or Transducer presets, ensure that LEAD
MUTE is set OFF.
You can monitor through VoiceLive’s headphone or main outputs as you
record but when playing back using VoiceLive Touch as the output audio
device, set 6 USB: INSERT to USB: STEREO.
Method #3 - Recording dry vocal and guitar tracks:
This method allows you to hear a fully produced sound while recording
but send only your dry guitar and dry voice to the DAW.
Set the Setup menu parameters as such:
6 USB:TRACK
Connect your mic and a guitar to VoiceLive Touch and your headphones
to the headphone out. Even though you’ll hear fully processed vocals and
guitar (with Guitar FX) in the headphones, the output feeding your
DAW will be separate dry vocal and guitar that you can process later
with Method #2.
