Adjust the Vocal Level
Using the Input Gain knob on the rear of the unit adjust the level so the Vocal Level
LED Ladder
bounces around amber when you sing loudly and bounces in the green
when you sing quietly. Avoid having the Vocal Level LED Ladder bouncing in the red.
Adjust the Guitar Level
Ideally the Guitar Signal LED Ladder should be in the green or amber range
while playing. Most electric and acoustic/electric guitars send their signal at a level
appropriate for the Vocalist Live 5. If you have a volume control on your guitar (for
example, an acoustic guitar with a pre-amp built in), you should adjust the volume so
that the Guitar Signal LED Ladder is in the green or amber range most of the time
while playing.
Once the guitar level is set with your guitar’s volume control, you can adjust how
much guitar is heard in the mix with the Guitar Level knob.
Choose a Preset
Using the Preset +/- footswitches and buttons you can cycle through the different
presets (for a full preset list see page 29). Some presets to try:
• 03 CSN - Contains a three part harmony: your lead vocal, a 3rd and 5th above
to create a triad.
• 05 Gold PC – Studio quality vocal enhancement and pitch correction with a
simple 3rd above harmony.
• 06 4 UNISONS – Uses four harmony voices in unison to create a fat thick-
ening effect.
• 09 ACCAPELLA C - Features 5th down, 3rd down and 3rd up harmonies in
the key of C without the need for a guide instrument.
• 10 OTTOTUNE1 - Uses the Chromatic Pitch Correction to get that chart
topping sound best suited for Pop and R & B.
