VocaLive App Reviews

Its a bug???

Hi, my app is giving you problems. Always asks to restore the purchase. Then goes shopping.

A neat Tool on the Road if somethings got broken... ;)

Current version doesnt support audiobus. Very disappointing for such a high price!!

Bitte Irig Blueboard Integration!!!!

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.

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!

I will love to use VocaLive but it does not recognize the % or # characters. Every time I try to use it and click on a song containing any of these two characters, it boots me off the App . These two characters are useful to identify key and speed change . Do I have to modify all my songs to be able to use it? It would be so ease for the developers to correct this. I hope it would be included in the next update. For now I can not use all of my library. I would like to give 5 stars but...... three stars for now....

Audio copy audio paste, sonoma/intua... Make us happy and make it snappy

Id give it 5 stars but between this and Amplitube, IK multimedia comes across to me as greedy and selfish. They make you buy one on iPhone, then one on iPad. Would be great if it was universal for the price, like Ampkit. Peavy has IK beat there. Also to pay $20+ for this app its so completely irritating to have popup advertising you must dismiss. If I paid or this app dont advertise anything. I shouldnt have to dismiss your latest sales pitch when opening the app. The app itself is great, but IK doesnt seem to be for the customer. If theyd ditch the ads on startup, and make it so I dont have to buy an app for each device I own Id be a truly happy customer.

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!!

Its one of the few apps that doesnt leave you wanting for more. I have many vocal apps but this one does everything, ( with in app purchases installed). Audio bus support so it works with my other apps. Good stuff!

I bought the irig pro to use with vocalive when I am jamming out, as a portable fx vocal rack. With an active DI and a 3.5mm mini plug to male 1/4" cable, I came out of my headphone jack on my phone to an active DI to input it through the PA system. Sounds great and Ultra low latency is Very good. Nothing worse than not hearing what you are singing when you sing it! I Would recommend vocalive to every singer. A little fx or a lot, You decide. Great App and lots of settings.

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...

The feature bubbles go away and in app purchases worked

The effects are great. The interface is good. I wish it would evolve into a music studio to be able to create songs with instruments. For voice recording its excellent and that is what it is supposed to be for. Perry

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!
