Recording vocals externally.

Hello Rob:

I've read thru the many helpful hints in the Forum regarding the external recordings of vocals utilizing the Pa1x Helicon Voice Processor. On (16/4/07) Rob suggested one method ie: Leaving Keyboard tracks on L+R and sending the vocals to keyboard outputs 1+2 thereby maintaining the ability to pan and also attenuate or re-mix vocals at a later time on an external recording device.

At this point I am curious regarding, what I perceive to be, an ambient stereo affect possibly generated by the Helicon Vocal Processor. So my question ~ "Is there a stereo ambiance factor that would be defeated by channeling the vocals to just one mono output to an external recorder?"

Thanks as always ~ Charley Brown[size=18][/size][size=24][/size][size=18][/size]

Hi Charley,

When you redirect vocals to Out 1 & 2, the TC Helicon vocal FX are still present. So if you don't like the vocal processing, you must change the vocal harmony preset. The preset I found closest to what I wanted is called "Staying Put for Now", and just by altering the respective send levels and turning off two of the vocal harmony channels, I got a nice sound.

I think what you are hearing may be one of the TC Helicon harmony channels.

Best regards,
Rob
