Which Vocalive app should I buy?

Sbee · October 2016

Hi all

First post but long time lurker.

Can anyone who has this app help me to decide which one to purchase as it can be purchased for iPhone or iPad and also as an iap in AmpliTube

I have an iPhone 7, iPad Pro and I also have AmpliTube with some iap's already and would like to know if I will be losing any functionality purchasing as an iap in AmpliTube.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with the AmpliTube IAP, but I did find this.

It's 5 years old, so you may want to verify the info.

Thanks for the info @telecharge

In your second link people are complaining that the vocalive bundle in AmpliTube is not complete, I wonder if this is still the case?

For anyone interested AmpliTube iap for vocalive contains only the 5 'vocal' effects from Vocalive but not the other included effects like reverb, delay, parametric eq, compressor, chorus, phazer and envelope filter which are available when you purchase the standalone version of Vocalive.

It would be good if ikmultimedia would make this clear to customers when saying that all vocal effects from vocalive are added to AmpliTube when buying the in iap.

Hope this helps someone who is considering purchasing this app.

I have a few of the vocal processing apps that are AB compatible but VocaLive has been my go to. Air2.

Do you have the standalone app or do you use it within AmpliTube?

Is this your go to app for vocals on your idevice? If not what is and why if you don't mind me asking

These apps might be worth checking out for vocal fx, think they all work in audiobus too.

thanks @mister_rz
I will check these out!

@Sbee. Sorry for the late response. I also have the stand alone version. Like @mister_rz I use Voice Rack and Singaling as well. They are very good and have many presets to choose from. If you get a chance to grab one of those on sale I definitely would.
Comes down to a matter of personal preference for sure.
Affordability makes it real easy to start collecting apps with the hope that it's going to make my voice sound better, but of course we know how that story ends.
I like Singaling for that almost whispered vocal and I crank the the input/output way up with relatively low noise. I also keep coming back to the combination of the doubler, compression and reverb(backed off to about 3 o'clock ) in VocaLive. Again, preference. Having choices is lots of fun though. Hope this helps.

And the community comes through again. Well done, fellers. I'll probably buy Singaling just for the name alone. =P

Yes great community here!

Thanks to all,

I ended up getting the standalone version of Vocalive but couldn't stop there so I also bought Singaling and Voice Rack and vio is free so I got that too.

Now I just need a singer with a half decent voice to lay down some vocals.... New thread maybe : )
