    I’ve been using it live for my last few gigs but the problem I’m having is that there has to be an unrealistic amount of communication between myself and front of house to constantly mute and unmute my microphone.

    The stage noise causes the V256 to make noise when i don’t want it to. I also have the mic input set low. Is the only solution to use a gate? Has anyone else found a viable solution to this?

    Thanks

    Use a killswitch; just a box with XLR in and out, and a latching footswitch that just mutes your signal. Step on it when you want your mic muted. Step on it again to unmute yourself.

    I use the VoiceBox live for almost a year now. I feed it a soft synth from my laptop (Ableton). What I do is carefully edit the synth parts so it’s only sending signal to the VB when I’m supposed to be singing. This eliminates the ‘noise’ when I’m not singing. No communication with FOH required. Also, I use in ears, so lower stage volume. And I run the mic at low volume as well.

    hi! im having a situation pretty much like yours

    i am using besides the V256, a M-Audio Profire 610 and ableton live, so I secuence the MIDI notes that i will sing in a MIDI channel, and then send it with the profire in channel 16 (the v256 receives MIDI from that channel) to the V256, and the signal comes out from an Audio Channel from ableton live.

    So after a few minutes of using it, having a perfect tuning from the vocooder, it starts a horrible howling, terrible noise, that doesnt respects the signal sent by midi, making the mic work alltime.

    If you have a solution for that problem, please let me know. thanx!
