TC-Helicon has announced it is now shipping the VoiceLive Touch, the first vocal processor to feature an ingenuously integrated mic stand mount and interface.
VoiceLive Touch is the ‘go anywhere’ vocal processor that delivers the premium quality vocal effects that TC–Helicon have become synonymous with, but adds VLOOP™ to the mix – an incredible performance vocal looper.
This vocal processing power sits behind one of the most innovative user interfaces ever created. And thanks to the ingenuously integrated mic stand mount, VoiceLive Touch is also the first vocal processor to sit precisely where it’s needed for total hands-on control – actually on the mic stand.
VoiceLive Touch is available to purchase for 499 EUR.

As someone who has used Reason for 10 years, here’s my two cents:
It’s greatest advantage is closed environment. Everything works as it should, I never had a crash or anything similar, it is as stable as it gets. It is very CPU friendly, workflow is mostly unobstructed and you can save your songs with all setings and samples and load them few years later without worrying that they will not be the same as you saved them.
It’s greatest disadvantages is relatively poor sound quality of it’s synthesizers and all DSP units (hence low CPU usage). If you’re trying to achieve crisp and lifelike sound you better look somewhere else. Even if you just use it for composing and later do mixing in more professional DAW the result will never be from the top shelf because of flawed source.
In short, if you’re beginner or medium-experienced user without high audio quality priorities and you apprecieate intuitive and fun interface – go with Reason.
I ditched it totally last year when I found out the Reaper, but that’s another story.
Rek, I have never used Reason. I am Ableton guy and I am fully invested. However, my buddy promises its’s the best thing since sliced bread. I downloaded the trial demo version last night. It’s aiight…
Question… Resaon, worth buying or should pass in order to stay married to Ableton…???
Hey Douglas,
Reason is quite something else. Many people love it and its workflow. I am a proper FL Studio user myself, with Ableton as my second choice. I have tried Reason in the past but it just never clicked for me. Maybe I have to try again.
One thing Reason doesn’t have is VST plugins. That’s a bit of a deal breaker for me and will keep me from totally switching for sure…
