harmony part is too low in vol. to really judge during playing.does not correct out of pitch too well

[jegler]

@yimmiytube I had the mix setting at 12oclock - but the camcorder was picking up a bit of my "dry" voice as well, making it louder than the harmonies. there is no pitch correction except on Unison 2 setting, and that is simply 440Hz chromatic.

[arcanequiver]

I can hear 2 harmonies in addition to your voice so this does 3 part harmony?

[jegler]

Yes, you could say that. Your real time voice+2 harmony voices=3part harmony. Does it count if you have two unisons with the original?

What review? 8-o

I was expecting a proper demo of the functions

, e.g the Comps, verbs, enhancers. Rather than "this is crap, that is crap, I'll skip it"

didn't really demo-ed the harmonies thoroughly as well, as we hear is one patch, then some complaints on how that one patch wont work on other songs.

not very informative.

[jegler]

Umm there's like 50 "demo" videos out there from digitech and resale-ers if you want that. This is a review of my experience with the unit. The harmonies work on some stuff and not others and yes, I thought the "effects" sounded like cheap tack-ons.

Haha dig the "here's a picture" segments.

Thanks for making this video. Does it accept a keyboard for chord input? If you use an electric guitar, and don't route the output anywhere, could it be used for recording, or is it too noisy?

[diamonddust22]

@HomesliceDrummer Oh nothing, I just wanted to know if I can use it for recording purposes.

[HomesliceDrummer]

LOL nice. Plugging a digitech into a Boss.

It's like dropping a Ford engine into a camaro or vice versa.

Hey, it works, right?

What other things on the Digitech Vocalist products would you like to see that isn't there that would be a selling point for you.

[diamonddust22]

Can I plug it into my Boss BR-1200 multi-track recorder. That is the selling point for me

studio cat

STILL haven't got around to trying it with bass. the thing's been riding around in the band trailer for about a year now... never get a chance to experiment much anymore...holding up pretty well though...

[marcaonunes]
