VocaLive for iPad

To truly make this app part of a complete software package it could definitely use the ability to be used as an Audio Unit Extension and be able to modify the carrier signal, that way it can be used as a vocoder style vocal and speech processor in GarageBand for iOS and iPadOS. Other than that, it is a great app for what I want out of a vocal and speech processor.

The app works well however is not compatible with Audiobus as described due to the IOS 8 updates. i have recived promises from IK multimedia that this will be rectified but still waiting. Until then, what's the point of buying any more apps if they don't do what's advertised?

Since the last iOS update I've got some problems with the app like the app shutdown when I Try to save a new project and something like "Audiobus initialization problem" The app is great but after this update I'm just waiting for a solution.

After updating to os7 vocalive no longer works ???? Can you fix this asap as i use vocalive every day.

The reverb has so many artefacts and twangs in there that it is unusable as it sounds so unnatural. The controls are really tiny and hard to adjust.. Eq is unlike any eq in the real world with its layout, no plugin or hardware eq is anything like it. Spent money on iRig pre hoping this would be a good product... Rubbish, only good for frog effects and crazy vocoder presets that are a good gimmick but offers little for a serious musician wanting to use this in a live situation.

I am a hobbyist musician who enjoys mastering new mobile music recording technology. Upon being dissappointed with garageband's guitar and vocal limitations, I have recently purchased guitar modelling apps and have just purchased the pro version of VocaLive for the reduced price of $10. This app provides a significant improvement to garagebands vocal recording. I was very impressed with the sound quality and ease of use fo the interface. I am using a tascam ixZ interface ($50) that allows for guitar and both dynamic and condensor mic inputs. This interface is the only cheap one i know that has the ability for all three. Phantom power is also provided by the interface for condensor mics. My cheapish dynamic mic sounds great thorugh the interface into the app even though VocaLive is supposedly desgined for condensor mics. The main problem I see is that you cannot copy and paste sessions beetween apps meaning I still must use my computer to transfer a vocal track to a seperate backing track. Other music apps allow for this type of copy/paste file transfer thus eliminating the need for a separate computer. This is annoying as who wants to rely on another computer just for transfering one vocal track. It is not really a mobile app. Secondly, a digitial wave editor would also be handy to modify the track prior to sending. However it is well woth the $10 and i have managed to import a nice sounding track to garagband for inclusion in another project, albeit via my work computer the following day. Fantastic for hobbyists who want a professional vocal sound. I use the presets as they are easy to use, but i read that you will need to modify the presets to obtain the best vocal sound. Also I dont like having to pay for the additional 7 track recorder. it should be included in the full price. Overall a good app for the reduced price. My 5 and 2yo kids also love the FX presets that make them sound like monsters, chipmonks etc. I connect to my home amp via the headphones output from the interface into my aux input for clear stereo monitoring, if required.

finally i found something like this..i was looking for it everywhere....i love it sooo much..thanks :) will wait for the better improvement :D

I'm very impressed with my first exposure to this. The app seems very stable and the range of effects is impressive. Not certain how well it would work in a live performance - but I hope someone gives it a go!

I solely have used this app until iOS 15 now it won’t even start. When do we get an update?refund?

UPDATE: They just don’t care because they don’t have to. I updated my iPad and now the app doesn’t work. YAY again IK! It has been 2 years since you last updated this app. I love using it but it is limited. Why do you neglect this app when it could be so much more for vocalists? Please update it significantly. Thx
