Members slappymcfinkles Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 My singer has decided that "we" need a vocal harmonzier so she can do her thing. Those of you in a band with out a female singer might not know how this works but it's like having a 2nd wife so you just smile and say ok (believe me it's easier that way) Anyway I don't know diddly about vocal harmonizers but I know that I don't want to go crazy and buy something that I'll need an MIT degree to use. I'd like to go with a rack unit with a foot switch but other than that I'm open for ideas. If anyone has any info or ideas that might help it would be totally awesome.

Members slappymcfinkles Posted January 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Is that the little purple thing that looks like an multi-effects pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IvIark Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Personally if we exclude the top dollar stuff I'd go for the Digitech Vocalist Live 4. Great sounding harmonies, lots of effects which can be used simultaneously to the harmony, it can automatically sense the key by a guitar or keyboard input, and importantly you can also set the key manually so you don't have to plug an instrument into it if you don't want to. Great value I think. Or you could always learn to sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpectralJulian Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 input on a Harmonizer? It should be clearly labeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Besides the ones already mentioned is the EHX Voice Box, which I've personally been gassing for. It's cheap and looks really easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slappymcfinkles Posted January 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 thanks for the info ~ my singer can sing her ass off but as far as far as harmonies go we're ok at best : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members big_cat Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Also, even if he wanted to, he (being male) probably couldn't sing the range required to do harmonies above a good female singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Only problem with that one is that you need an instrument input and can't set the key manually. there's no instruments in the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IvIark Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 there's no instruments in the band? Well maybe not all the time if she wants to practise to get used to the device and how it reacts while the band aren't about. And even having an instrument in the band doesn't mean that the guitarist will always be playing rhythm, or that the vocal key will always be following what is interpreted by a chord progression. The technology is great but it has the potential not to do exactly what you want - and so being able to set the key manually is a strange omission.

Members slappymcfinkles Posted January 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 We're a 4 piece with a singer (bass, drums, guitar, and vox) ~ we all sing from time to time but the singer wants to be able to harmonize with herself. She sat it with a band last week that had one of these things so now "we" need one : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
