VoiceLive 2 is a floor-based vocal processor that contains the effects necessary to produce vocal sounds from the past, present and well into the future. Vocal processing aficionados have been following the final stages of development on VoiceLive 2 at blog.tc-helicon.com (http://blog.tc-helicon.com/). Direct feedback from vocalists through the website, as well as through user beta testing, has refined the product even further.

VoiceLive 2 contains brilliant vocal harmonies with up to eight voices that can be controlled via MIDI, guitar or MP3. Like a great audio engineer, VoiceLive 2 listens to the singer and adjusts EQ, compression, de-essing and gating to make vocals sound smooth and produced. The unit has the most complete connectivity of any vocal floor processor and, with a completely redesigned user interface, VoiceLive 2 is easy to use whether an artist is looking for one preset or a creative sequence of sounds for every song. Price: Voice Live 2 will be priced at $945 USD MSRP
