TC-Helicon Voicelive 2 User Manual

The Tone Button
The Tone button activates what we call the “Live
Engineer Effects”. These are different from standard
vocal processing effects in that they adjust their settings
to your particular voice and the way you sing at different
times of your performance just like a professional audio
engineer will. All EQ and compression enhancements
applied here will affect the overall sound of VoiceLive 2
including Harmony, Doubling, Reverb etc.
The suite of effects that make up Tone are:
o Adaptive Shape EQ
o Adaptive Compression
o De-Ess
o Adaptive Gate
The TONE Tab
Press and hold the Tone button to enter this screen
and make adjustments or view settings. This will present

o SHAPE

consists of turning the Mix/Edit knobs below the LCD

button on and off while editing to hear the difference
between your effected and non-effected voice.
