VocaLive provides singers and vocalists with a suite of 12 real-time professional vocal effects, along with a range of tools to help you practice, sing and record. The effects can be combined into a chain of 4 processors and saved as presets. A collection of 55 presets is included to get you up and running immediately.

VocaLive for iPhone includes 12 vocal effects: Pitch Fix (for tuning or stylized FX), Choir, Morph, Reverb, De-Esser, Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter plus a vocal Double effect available via registration. Together these effects provide unparalleled creative processing power.

With VocaLive you can process your voice, sing along to any song in your iTunes Music library — its Voice Cancel feature lets you remove existing vocals — and warm up with helpful vocal warm-up tools.

Use the new 2-track recorder to sing over backing tracks, or expand the studio section (available via in-app purchase) to record whole songs.

With the optional Mic Room feature, VocaLive also gives you the sound and color of 20 classic and modern studio microphone emulations, for even more control over your vocal tone.

Ready to perform? VocaLive’s new Live Mode offers an optimized GUI specifically for live use. See your entire chain at a glance, with all the settings and controls you need in an easy-to-read format designed for the stage. Plus VocaLive offers an optional 4-track looper to easily create songs, harmonies and more on the fly.

For best quality, use VocaLive with IK’s iRig Mic range of microphones, from handheld to studio condenser mic. Or connect your favorite 3rd party mic using our iRig Pre interfaces. But you can also have fun with it and record quick ideas using the built-in microphone on your iPhone or earbuds.

Control your virtual rig just as easily as you would a traditional vocal multiFX with new iRig Stomp I/O integration, so you can change presets, control effects and more right from your feet. Or go wireless with iRig Blueboard, a wireless Bluetooth controller for basic control on the go.

VocaLive also supports Core Audio and Core MIDI so you can use any compatible third-party interface or MIDI controller, and Audiobus and Inter-App Audio compatible, letting you use it alongside your favorite recording or songwriting apps.

Pros and cons of VocaLive app for iPhone and iPad

VocaLive app good for

Hi, my app is giving you problems. Always asks to restore the purchase. Then goes shopping.
PROS - Yes, you CAN: 1) import any track from your library (and even direct over wi-fi from your home library!!) 2) effectively remove lead vocal from backing track if desired (reduces sound quality of original but still works way better than expected) 3) sing along (with built-in mic or better quality one avail for purchase) and record in real time with effect - or process effects after recording 4) combine(**see below IMPORTANT) and save final track with background, effects and recorded vocals into one** 5) record harmonies in real-time as above on remaining tracks (or instrument) 6) export your saved final tracks with effects etc. (email option included) 7) SINGERS - you can use the supplied rehearse tool for scales played in any key!! 8) Fantastic additional effects over and above pro quality, adjustable reverb CONS - No, you cant: 1) edit your recorded audio - that would just be beyond amazing if they add this (you coud then splice/dub your vocals/recorded trax) 2) **you MUST make an in app purchase to release the power of the 4-track mixer and this is required to combine your backtracks with your real-time singing or instrumentation recording. They do NOT tell you this and that is a really annoying and frankly shabby way to sell this app - creators take note - you have to pay another $4.99 in app to do this. It does work perfectly though and that makes this app more powerful than any of the other 4-tracks Ive tried currently available. All-in then, this app to do all of the above costs $24.98 Despite the very annoying fact you are forced to buy the 4-track mixer (should be included this is ridiculous)...this app is simply AMAZING!!! Love it - for singers particularly, this is well worth the money youll spend to get demos or auditions recorded and out there in a portable package that sounds phenomenal ... considering this is all done on the iphone4, you will not be disappointed. Creators: consider including the mixer in the package and it would be a good idea to somehow tag this is a karaoke device with reverb since all the competition Ive reviewed is unable to do what your app can (but that the name doesnt necessarily imply; nor does your features write-up). Didnt see this function anywhere, but it would also be a plus if you had a notes page for lyrics to songs somewhere in the app.
I must say that this app is fantastic, I love VocaLive because it has tons of features, utilities and tools, you got a lot for the money. I know its expensive but its well worth the money for someone who is either a casual karaoke fan or perhaps youre like me, a hardcore music fan and also a singer. I just love the fact that VocaLive combined with the crisp and clear sound of the iRig Mic sounds just amazing! I highly recommend the iRig Mic to make your experience with VocaLive an awesome one! The app is easy to pick up and work with. The only problem Ive been experiencing is that the app crashes quite often, so maybe an update to fix this issue would be appreciated. Otherwise the app is wonderful, I really like it and use it almost everyday, it works really well and the sound is amazing, buy it you wont be disappointed unless the price is an issue for you. IK Multimedia thank you for this amazing app! Keep up the good work and keep making apps that rocks!
Now, I will do all my voice recording with VocaLive. By far, the best one for vocal effect!
Exactly what I was looking for! When coupled with IRig mic and Skullcandy headphones, I get the best out of my IPhone recordings. When are you going to have an audio copy/paste upgrade?
I use this app live + in studio with my band and I must say it is quite a usefull tool. Obviously you will have to buy the iRig microphone connector ($40) to connect your fav mic into the rig. I use a Senheiser e945 mic,and the results are quite nice. A nice alternative to using a floor voice board/processor. Must say the iPad app is more usefull than the iPhone one, since you get a much bigger display and a longer chain of effects (4 vs 3 at once). Gain control can be a little tricky at first, so do take the time to get into the menu settings and use the anti-feedback function. Overall a very good value for the money!!

Some bad moments

Current version doesnt support audiobus. Very disappointing for such a high price!!
I dont know, I may be biased in that I have a TC-Helicon Voicelive 2 hardware processor to compare it to, but Im finding that theres a heck of a lot of line noise when using this with an iRig and a standard good quality dynamic mic. Input seems very weak on the board/monitors and pushing the gain to compensate seems to bring in the noise, even with noise filtering on. Feedback control also seems to pull the signal out of stereo a bit to favor one channel. I was hoping to be able to drag this around for quick jams etc. but so far disappointed.
I have to restore my purchases every time I open the app and the sound of some of the tracks is lost. Not a good thing...
I have been using this app for years with GarageBand connecting with inter-app audio function , and all of a sudden it just stopped connecting with GarageBand , and now I have to use the Audiobus app, and the sound quality and delay are just not the same , I dont know why this is happening all of a sudden!? Mabel the iOS 9 update? I promise to change my review if you guys can fix it some how, this is My favourite app for recording my vocals! Help!
Hi, I understand this app used to work with GarageBand, but doesnt work anymore. Please fix!!! Great app on its own, but need it to work with Garageband. Will change to 5 stars once fix is done.
Most of the preset effects are useless and doesnt even have an Autotune effect ...

Usually VocaLive iOS app used & searched for

autotune video, sing karaoke and record, and other. So, download free VocaLive .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
