The Setup Button
The I/O Tab
f IN GAIN
Sets and displays the MIC / LINE input level.
Both inputs share the same gain settings and are
not meant to be used simultaneously; switching
from a Mic to a Line level signal will likely require
resetting IN GAIN. To set input level automatically,
use the AUTO MIC-GAIN function by holding
the Input Gain button and following the prompts.
When any digital input is selected (USB or SPDIF)
the IN GAIN does not control the digital input
level. Use your transmitting device to adjust level.
f PHANTOM
Turns 48V phantom power on and off for use
with condenser microphones.
f AUX LEVEL
Set the input level of for the Aux input.
f OUTPUT
The configures the outputs to be STEREO (de-
fault), MONO or DUAL MONO. The STEREO
option outputs discrete Left and Right audio
material when connected to a stereo monitor or
PA system.
In MONO mode, the Left output is the summed
mono mix of VoiceLive Rack including effects. The
Right output is dry with only Tone applied to the
MIC or LINE input signal. This is useful when a live
sound engineer wants to control the balance of
wet/dry mix at the mix position. In this case, set
LEAD MUTE to ON.
In DUAL MONO mode, the effected vocal
comes from the left output and effected guitar is
produced from the right output. This allows you
to have a sound tech control the level balance
between wet vocal (vocal with harmonies and
effects) and wet guitar.
f DIGITAL IN
Selects between SPDIF and USB physical inputs
as the input and also specifies where the incom-
ing digital signal is routed. By default the routing
is USB: STEREO, where the digital input is routed
to the same path as the AUX input, but is not
passed on to the digital output.
When set to USB: VOX L / INST R, or S/PDIF:
VOX L / INST R the digital input replaces the
analog MIC/LINE and GUITAR inputs and the
MIC and GUITAR IN connections are disabled.
Sample rate is synchronized automatically to the
incoming digital audio stream. There is no sample
rate adjustment in VoiceLive Rack. When process-
ing an analog input such as the MIC and sending
to VoiceLive Rack’s digital out, sending a short bit
of audio from your recording application to either
Digital input will set the sample rate.
When DIGITAL IN is set to USB (or SPDIF):
STEREO, harmonies will follow the stereo audio
coming from the selected digital input on presets
where NATURALPLAY is set to AUX INPUT.
While the VoiceLive Rack is connected via USB
to your computer, other applications such as your
browser may not make sound through your regu-
lar sound card. In this case, disconnect VoiceLive
Rack’s USB cable.
f DIGITAL OUT
Configures the digital output between the stereo
mix of VoiceLive Rack (FULL MIX), and separated,
dry outputs used for recording (VOCAL & GUI-
TAR).
f LEAD MUTE
Turns the lead voice off in all presets. This is useful
in the live sound engineer setting described above
