Frequently Asked Questions

The Mic Control parameter seems to be triggering on its own when I sing, 
what’s happening?

A few input devices may cause this. You can a) switch mics b) turn off 
Mic Control in the Setup menu.

I have a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI In jack and both are on the 
same channel but still nothing’s happening, do I need to adjust something?

Set the USB Control parameter in the System tab of the Setup menu 
to Off. 

I’ve connected the input and output to my PA but I’m not getting any signal 
into or out of VoiceLive Rack, what’s up?

Confirm that the Output mix control is turned up. Note that 0dB 
means “full” not “off ”. Check that the Digital In parameter in the I/O tab 
of the Setup menu is set to either USB Stereo or S/PDIF Stereo.

I can’t set Tap tempo for some presets, what’s happening?

These are set to a specific time. To make them Tap-able, find the Delay 
edit tab in the Edit menu and set the Source parameter to Tap. Store if 
desired.

Why am I hearing distortion?

The Transducer effect has distortion styles but if that effect is off, press 
the Input Gain button while you sing to check that your input is not 
clipping.

I’m hearing feedback when I use VoiceLive Rack, how can I minimize that?

Adjust the gate in the Tone menu by increasing the Lead and Harmony 
attenuation and/or setting the Gate parameter to Manual and raising 
the Threshold. Ensure that monitors are pointing at the dead area of the 
mic. As a last resort, turn off Tone or reduce stage and monitor levels.

I’m hearing chorusing when I sing but no effects blocks are on, why is that?

This is due to the Pitch effect being active. It constantly adjusts your 
pitch to make you more in tune and you are hearing the difference 
between your voice through head resonance and the pitch corrected 
version in your PA or monitor.
