The Tone Button

f COMPRESS

With the ADAPTIVE control activated, the

COMPRESS control reduces the amount of range

between louder and softer singing to produce

more even-sounding vocals. It does so by listening

to your singing over time (less than 30 seconds)

and adjusting accordingly.

Typical compressors require multiple controls,

knowledge and experience, and time spent test-

ing and rening over a performance. With TC-

Helicon’s Adaptive Compress feature, these are

not required.

The factory setting of 50% strikes a good balance

between moderating dynamics in your singing

without incurring feedback, a side effect of com-

pression used in a live mic setting. If you have a

high quality monitoring/PA setup with a at fre-

quency response and you want more compres-

sion, by all means add more with the COMPRESS

control. Be aware though, that average quality

systems have frequency peaks that may cause

feedback with lots of compression combined with

Adaptive Shape EQ.

• Note that, in order for the Adaptive Compres-

sion feature to work properly, you must have

your mic gain set properly either with by using

auto MIC GAIN or by setting it manually.

f DE-ESS

There is a side effect that comes from adding

high frequencies and compression to your voice,

and that’s excessive sibilance. Sibilance can be de-

scribed as the brief whistle that accompanies “S”,

“T” and “D” syllables in your vocal performance.

Again, when singing acoustically, there is no issue

with these sounds. It’s when you amplify and

combine with boosted highs and compression

that they can become piercing.

VoiceLive Rack’s DE-ESS control monitors the

level of sibilance and, when it is detected, will

quickly and transparently reduce it. Typically, it’s

those frequencies resulting in sonic clutter. Reduc-

ing bass has the natural effect of emphasizing mid

and upper frequencies which allow the voice to

cut through dense instrumentation.

Lastly, the term “proximity effect” and “cardioid”

need to be claried as they can cause bass build

up. The typical microphone used by singers has

a pickup pattern called “cardioid” or heart-like,

because it picks up less sound at the rear than

at the front. This intends to reduce other instru-

ments or sounds from getting into the front of

the mic. A side effect of this that singing closely

on a cardioid mic adds more bass frequencies

than your voice actually has. This is called “proxim-

ity effect” because it is caused by closeness to the

mic. The adaptive Shape feature of VoiceLive Rack

listens continually to your voice through your mic

and adjusts to make your voice sound like it is

professionally produced and balanced.

Adding Highs

The other facet of the Shape feature is that it

adds high frequencies, also known as “air” or

“presence” without making your voice sound

“tinny”. The vocal sounds we hear on CDs and

the radio are not typically what you hear when

you listen to a singer acoustically. Commercial

vocal sounds are more of a hyper-reality designed

to atter the voice or voices and make them cut

through a group of instruments and thus make

a larger impression on the listener. The Shape

feature, used at moderate settings, emulates this

sound through the average microphone and PA

system.

When making Shape adjustments, it’s important

to sing while listening to the PA system your audi-

ence will hear rather than only judging by your

monitor sound.
