When I use this application unedited my wife complains quite vocally so it must sound horrible to her.

Would anyone like to share their edited Vocal Harmonys with me so that I can share some nice harmonies with her.

I would be so gratefull.

Gary diamond has done setting for the Vocal Harmoniser on the 3K. Check this link http://psrtutorial.com/ForumMain.html

Don't expect too much from the 3K Vocal Harmoniser as it is poor and easily distorts. I previously had the 9000Pro which had a great Vocal Harmoniser.

Nothing wrong with the 3k harmonizer.....once you set it up correctly and make proper adjustments in the parimeters & EQ/gain settings.
You must be a good singer also to use it properly. I use it every day on stage.

Ken,

There are several components that make the 3000s vocalizer work. First, as Donny stated, you must have a good voice.

Next, you must have good vocal control. This means not raising or lowering your vocal levels by a significant margin while using the vocalizer.

You must also have a high-quality mic, and I'm not talking about the SM58. While the SM58 was a good mic 15 years ago, by today's standards it's marginal at best. I, and a number of other performers, have experienced good to excellent results using the Samson Q7 handheld, and the Crown CM-311A headset mics. The Samson sells for about $200, while there have ben sales on the Q7 for under $100 on some internet sites.

Additionally, the settings are extremely important. Most of the problems relate to the lead to harmony ratio, which should be set at about 30 to 35 percent of the lead. In doing this the harmony component is where it should be--in the background. Using a 50/50 harmony to lead ratio usually results in distortion and overdriving.

The correct type of harmony will depend upon your vocal range. I have a deep, soft voice, therefore HighMaleQua works best for me. Some singers with higher voices will often select MensChoir because it is a bit lower. In this respect, you will have to experiment in order to determine which works best for you--everyone is differrent, but fortunately, there are loads of harmony types to select from.

Hope this helps,

Gary

SM58 is still my favorite mic....
Standard workhorse on the industry....& Ive tried most of the others along the way always retuning to the Shure. A good voice comes first everything else falls below that. I use Mens Choir also & on rare occasions Country girls sparingly.........

All of Gary's other tips are spot on!!
