i wanna survey around for a vocal effects pedal or processor..so need suggestions about which one to buy..budget below $500...if any of you guys using can please tell me the model, what kind of sound u use to make with it, how much and where to find?

much appreciated..(:
 
I think this one belong to Sound Gear thread for dedicated hardware. In software, it is all about assigning a midi CC(of your pedal) to a peculiar effect/instrument plug-in. Mostly, I do vocal processing during the mix so I don't need a pedal for it.
 
What is your purpose? There are VST (plugins and standalone) software that does vocal processing as well as hardware. I presume you are using it for pure vocals. There are people who also uses vocal processing for instruments to create certain effects.

I'll leave this thread here to broaden the discussion (including both software and hardware solutions). If you want purely hardware vocal processing, then I'll move it to the hardware section.
 
oh yeah valid point, if you're using it for live, hardware is ideal but money talk. cos if you use laptop/software emulate you MAY face latency issues.

if studio then you got all the time and postproduction tricks at your mouse and keyboard.
 
i think its more of the hardware..sorry..im quite new to this things so abit lost..haha..but ive seen the tc helicon vocals and also the voice box by electro harmonix..abt he software maybe something basic would be enough?like a basic set of programs?sorry if i dont make any sense..:P
thanks for the help
 
For live, you must communicate with sound engineer to use the device. If you are the one singing, then you need to get someone train to use that device. Normally the sound engineer have no time for this device. For recording, normally you will record a dry sign/voice then aux out into the device and return aux. Then you record the wet(processed) signal back into the DAW. It is easier to use soft effect plug-in rather than hardware. A lite version of a DAW will have eq,compression,reverb,chorus,flanger and phaser at least. Sometime got freebie plug-in like ADT, vocoder, auto pitch correction,auto filter and other type of modulation.
 
tc helicon is a good brand that i use .. www.tc-helicon.com .. i use my voicetone creatext for live and home recording .. i also use it for my guitar also ... another good one is ehx voicebox which is a harmonizer ... boss also has some good stuff i think .. line 6 pod ....
 
You haven't told us what you're trying to achieve / do

i do live...but i wanna try recording stuff myself..im in a band u see and i wanna try to do the effects stuff with my voice but i dont know how to..i just know of some effects pedals tts all but when it comes to recording i think using a software is better..im not sure if its ok if i just use the pedal/hardware to record..so i just wanna know what is the best for a beginner like me..
