General VoiceTone Questions Can I use my condenser microphone? Yes, all VoiceTone pedals can add +48V phantom power to your microphone input to power your condenser microphone. What audio quality can I expect from VoiceTone? You can expect the best audio quality of any floor effects device for any instrument you’ve ever used. In fact, you can expect the same or better audio quality from VoiceTone pedals as you’d expect from high-end recording equipment. Check out the technical specs for more information. Will I get more feedback with VoiceTone? Audio feedback is caused by a combination of level, direction, and distance of the microphone to a speaker. The chance of feedback will be similar for you with VoiceTone as it was before. A benefit for anyone who has been plagued by feedback problems is you now control your level and your EQ. So if you hear feedback, you can adjust your own level to compensate. Can VoiceTone pedals use batteries? No, and you’ll appreciate why: guitar pedals often use standard 9V batteries, but to get high-end microphone preamp quality, non-standard and expensive rechargeable batteries would need to be used. This would significantly affect VoiceTone’s price, which we believe most singers wouldn’t appreciate.		Questions about Correct I don’t have a sound engineer or a good PA system, can Correct help? Yes it can. This is the perfect and most common situation for Correct. The intelligent Live Engineering Effects will listen to your voice in real-time, mixing it for an ideal studio vocal sound. Purchasing a better PA system is never a bad thing, but Correct is an inexpensive investment to improve your vocal sound no matter the conditions. How do I set my sound system settings when using Correct? Generally the best things to do is set all of your sound system’s tone controls to their null or middle positions and disable any compressors. Most modern PA systems sound best when the graphic equalizer for the mains is set flat and only used for narrow compensations in poor acoustic environments. Setting your graph flat will help Correct (and your voice) sound the smoothest. Will Pitch Correction make me a better singer? Being a better singer is really up to you. We wouldn’t be respecting everything we’ve learned about the human voice if we didn’t preach that practice makes perfect and that having a coach, mentor or teacher is the number one choice you can make at becoming the “next best singer”. For more information on your technique sign up for the forum at www.voicecouncil.com and get plenty of helpful advice. That being said, practicing and performing with Correct’s pitch correction feature is a great way of improving your intonation. You get to hear when you’re out-of-tune. You’re in control of making the pitch correction effect go away, by controlling your own pitch. We’ve seen this work for countless singers at many skill levels. What are the two outputs for (Main and Guide)? The Main Output is the typical output for use with your sound system. The Guide Output is an alternate output useful when you are singing with a separate vocal monitor like VoiceSolo. The Guide Output is plugged into your monitor and will always contain pitch correction. In this setup, the pitch correction effect can be turned off in the Main Output so the audience only hears your un-corrected voice. What if we want pitch correction but we aren’t tuned to A440? No problem, Correct can self-adjust to any tuning using a unique power up mode. See the Setup Configurations section of the VoiceTone Correct manual for more information. Can I manually adjust EQ and compression on my voice? Yes, if you’re comfortable using more traditional controls for EQ and Compression, read the Setup Configurations, and Using the Effects sections of the VoiceTone Correct manual.
