"I Need Air" Magnetic Man Cover - Josie Charlwood (Live using BOSS RC-30 loopstation)

Live cover using BOSS RC-30, TC Helicon MP-75 and TC Helicon VoiceLive 2.

This is a live video, recorded in one take, of me performing my cover of "I Need Air" -- Magnetic Man (feat. Angela Hunte).

The right-hand part of the screen shows the footage from a second camera, run at the same time as the main video. This enables you to see all my footwork when creating the track. The easiest way to describe how I've created this cover is to just list my equipment..

Equipment:

BOSS RC-30 Loopstation -- Used to create all the loops, which I play in live as you can see. This has two channels which I switch between using the BOSS FS-6 Dual footswitch.

CME UF80 -- This is the MIDI Controller (keyboard if you like) which I use to play in all the sounds. I get these sounds from the Roland XV-5050 synth.

Sonar X1 -- The music Software I use (which you can see running on the computer behind me), here I switch between sounds before playing in the loops.

TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2 -- This is the vocal processing unit I use in the performance. It allows me to put live harmonies and FX on my vocals when singing and/or looping. VoiceLive 2 also acts as a really nice compressor and I use it throughout this performance.

TC-Helicon MP-75 Microphone -- This microphone works alongside the VoiceLive2; in this case I have programmed the button on the microphone to trigger Harmonies on and off. You can see this in the choruses, where I tap the microphone and the harmonies are triggered on the VoiceLive2 unit (a very helpful feature!). You can see this on the video; as I tap the microphone the Harmony switch glows red on the VL2.


Any feedback is (as always) greatly appreciated! 

How did u get the vicelive to switch on the harmonies without actually hitting the harmony switch? Great video btw

[BehindThoseEyes13]

@nothingwojah Thankyou :) The microphone I'm using is a TC-Helicon MP-75 which has a button on it. Hitting this button turns on/off the harmonies!
