VocaLive for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not really a toolWithout iPad support and audiocopy/audiopaste for DAW processing this is more toy than tool. With those updates Vocalive could be truly useful, though still in need of a facelift in order to justify the price. It does what it claims, but it's not a user-friendly portable solution. Unfortunately there is no better option for vocal effects available...yet..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Buggy updateI have to restore my purchases every time I open the app and the sound of some of the tracks is lost. Not a good thing....Version: 2.0
✓ Be vewwy vewwy careful!Just a warning. I pulled up the new, updated Vocalive. After going through several pages with loads of this and that but no sound, I went into the settings, and there found levels, which did nothing, and then AHA - "Built-in Mic." Note that I had headphones on. I hit the button, and was treated to a blast of noise IN THE PHONES that I hope did not do permanent (further) damage. Please be warned. For me, it's just another incomprehensible day in iOS-land. Hoping the ringing subsides. MAKE SURE VOLUMES ARE DOWN before fiddling with this app..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Needs fixingHad this app since the day it came out. Now using the irig mic and have some issues. Firstly monitoring is only mono (stereo in other apps), background noise is bad without filters, sound quality is a bit poor and the stability is very bad. I was looking forward to recording with this app but so far it's been a disappointment..Version: 1.0
✓ Not a pro productBought it today, been using it ( or trying to) on my ipad for 30 minutes, it's crashed 25 times! almost a crash a minute! This makes it the most unreliable app that I've ever used. Garageband is free on my iMac, and Logic or Ableton Live are infinitely more capable/useful. If you want to use this for the areas that it promotes itself for, then wait a version or five before you buy. This product has potential, but is over-priced (the four-track recorder should be included, not be an additional in-app purchase), unreliable and simply not mature enough to use. Don't squander your money on this, it will make you rip your hair out or smash your iPad in frustration. I just tested it on my iPhone 3GS, that crashes too..Version: 1.0
✓ Crashes on launchFresh install and it cannot launch without crashing..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Half a jobThis would be pretty awesome, if it was stable and actually worked correctly. It drops out nearly everytime I use it, I cannot access the controls on the effects. Pretty poor show IK, get a move on with an update and stop ripping people off.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Please Fix!! Doesn't work with GarageBand!!Hi, I understand this app used to work with GarageBand, but doesn't work anymore. Please fix!!! Great app on it's own, but need it to work with Garageband. Will change to 5 stars once fix is done..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Don’t get it.This app does nothing it claims. It is money paid for a big commercial to get you to buy more. I purchased the bundle and the three apps don’t work together at all. They don’t work with garage band. All of the effects are too gaudy, no finesse at all. It is impossible to get a good sound out of it. I tried all night to get it to work right with my IRIG DUO. It just doesn’t happen. The owners of IK are slime balls just trying to get a little more money out of you..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Nice app, but has lag issuesI bought this for my iPod to use at karaoke. Lots of current songs have special effects and this app can produce them. My only issue has been too much lag time between effects. I wonder how it works on an iPad as far as lag time. Anyone know?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Could Be Much BetterMost of the preset effects are useless and doesn't even have an Autotune effect ....Version: 2.0.3
✓ Good but...I am using vocal live on an iPad with the irig Mic. For my purposes it's good but the application does crash often, even when not using the recorder. The irig mic itself it good but I am not sure about the connection to the iPad. I often get noise and feedback and have to fiddle with the connection to avoid the problems (and it's not my lead to my mixer). The effects are good but the pitch correction effect is not usable live due to the latency. The other effects are okay..Version: 1.0
✓ Update neededGood but unstable.Version: 1.0
✓ Recording liveI would live to use this app to record me at my gigs live but found when I added my song and recorded the sound wasn't very clear. Even connected to my sound system to see if it could run directly but still the quality of sound wasnt too clear especially on the track brought in. Am I doing something wrong ?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great if they'd consistently updateI've had this app for about a year and used it almost daily with my other music apps. Problem is since the first iOS 8 update they haven't updated Vocalive and it no longer communicates with audiobus. Vocalive is great for creating effects combos to use with other apps but audiobus is THE MAIN AUDIO ROUTING PROGRAM AVAILABLE. Vocalive no longer being compatible due to lack of updates has completely removed it from my set up and now it's just money wasted until they update :/.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Nice!This is a great app although it keeps crashing on my iPhone 3GS which is quite frustrating. Fix this problem and I'll give it 5 stars..Version: 1.0
✓ Waste of money.Paid for extra stuff, app no longer opens..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Do Not BuyI purchased this app AND the iPad app. I bought the crappy iRig mic. The mic is made from cheap materials that break easily. So easily ... It didn't even work out of the box. Customer Support? Forget about that too. I lost my receipt for the iRig mic. They won't take their defective merchandise back without it. I've given them a lot of my money for worthless hardware and software that I can't even use. I also own Amplitude / Amplitude Fender ... For the iPad and iPhone ... Plus a whole bunch of in-app purchases. And ... iRig. THIS is something I've actually been able to use ... Kind of ... It's so noisy ... It's worthless. Will I ever buy another one of their products? Nope. And you shouldn't either. Don't waste your money like I did..Version: 1.5
✓ Are you kidding?So without warning they remove "FTP upload" as a delivery method and now I can't revert to the prior version that had the only method of retrieving my audio my workflow has been set for since the beginning of the app??? And I get to find this out AFTER I've recorded very time-sensitive audio. Thanks VocaLive. Done with you..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Paid for full appAnd still have to pay for more? It hardly unlocked anything. It’s literally still the same as the free app version. They force you to pay for most the items in the app separately. I wish that was more clear before I spent 9.99 on nothing..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Not bad - could be betterThis app occasionally crashes but the odd crackle during recording is much more of a concern - I am using the dedicated Irig mic. I think the effects are good & it's easy to use but am unsure of the value for money. Hopefully future updates will improve things..Version: 1.0
✓ AwfulCan't believe you're doing this! I bought this app to record multiple tracks (because you said there is an option for that ) and when I enter the "studio" or " four tracks recording" you ask me if I want to buy it. Don't do that. Tell people what you really offer and what needs to be extra payed!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ All reverbs stopped workings:(.Version: 1.6
✓ Used to be Perfect :-(Use this with the iRig mic and have for a year. Was 5 star. But since upgrading to IOS 5 and iPhone 4S, recording sounds distorted 90% of the time. I just can't depend on it anymore..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Hurry up Developers!!!!Audio copy audio paste, sonoma/intua... Make us happy and make it snappy.Version: 1.0.1
✓ FaultyPaid for the whole package mixer keeps disappearing even paid again big name big profit big mess.Version: 2.0
✓ Recently updated just to add adsSo, before you even get started, the creative flow is broken while you wait. It crackles during recording on iPhone X (still doesn’t support iPhone X size screen) and filters are not as excellent as they used to be. Was excited to see an update I hoped would fix the problems, but, no. They just added several seconds of unskippable ads for their hardware when you start the app. This app is likely done, don’t waste money on the in-app purchases. It still works “ok” on older devices, so I’ll just use it there. The Spire recorder is a good replacement. It doesn’t have all the filters BUT it actually works :).Version: 3.0.3
✓ Yet another grab for your moneyNew "studio" button is in the way. Not only is this unwanted, but it takes up valuable space on the menu bar, hoping you will tap it to spend $10. Otherwise, once you get past the very annoying popup advertisements (and you thought that paying for the app meant no ads!) the vocal effects work very well. I have used this successfully with audiobus and usb interfaces..Version: 2.0
✓ Unstable on iPhone 3GSI haven´t used this app for a while so not sure when problems started but it seems really hit or miss whether the app will actually start using the latest version VocaLive 1.5 on an iPhone 3GS (32 GB) running on iOS 5.1.1 (jailbroken!). I couldn´t get it to start at all after about 10 attempts with only 10 mix.wav files stored. I reinstalled the app (including paid add-ons) deleting all data and it eventually started after about 3 attempts. It is usable once started but not satisfactory. App starting is unreliable. Please fix !.Version: 1.5
✓ IK Multimedia is expensive!I've purchased this app on my iPhone which was rather expensive but to my disappointment I now have to purchase this for my New IPad as well? Having purchased the mic was more than a commitment to IK Multimedia but paying twice for nearly the same app is ludicrous. IK Multimedia needs to cater for those who have paid the cost for their wonderful app without charging our socks off. Help us, help you promote your App!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Used to be betterApp kept crashing and lost recordings. Update seems to have fixed this but in app purchases have to be restored every time. Finished products are not playing back the way they sounded before exporting. Very very frustrating. $20 for the app, $60 for a mic and nothing's working like it used to. Please fix this app!!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Come on IKA company as big as IK Multimedia should sort this out - especially at the price they're flogging it for. Potentially great but one little problem... it rarely works. By the time I've got it running properly the singer's got a bit bored and had a few too many drinks. Should've been fixed with updates long ago but so far nothing; I thought it'd be worth risking £12 when it came out as even if it didn't work properly a company with the rep of IK would fix it? No... and I have waited a while before posting this review. Come on IK, sort it out! If it worked it would be 5 stars..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Ios15.1It does not run on ios 15.1. Proceed with the update quickly..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Not really worth itDEFINITELY NOT worth the $20 I paid for it, I would've paid $5 for it though, it's fun bc u can change ur voice and make it sound cool, but after u try everything out it's boring.Version: 1.0.1
✓ UpdateI purchase all the VocaLive bundle but I didn't get any effects like looping etc... if I select any effects they asking payment again why like this? It's very bad.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Big time Buggy!You can say that again!!! Have been using... scratch that... TRYING to use this app for over a month now to record Vocal voice-over. After hours and hours of work put into recording and perfecting little snipetts guess what happens? LOSE ALL OF WHAT WAS RECORDED!!! For no reason!! Just like that! Now it's there and now it's not...perfect magic trick if you ask me but one that makes me FURIOUS that I spent $25 on this. Have informed the Dev but so far no luck in them figuring out what's causing this bug. So save your money until they figure this out. Will update this post once and IF they do..Version: 1.0
✓ If it ain't broke, don't fix itYou guys had an amazing app that got damaged by updates and other stupid things you wanted to do. Then people who purchased the app couldn't use half of the plug ins from the update. Then everything was switched around as if we get an instructional manual with this app WHEN WE DONT. I've seen this app go from five stars to a three in no time. You've ruined a lot for people. It was fun and easy. Now your trying to go pro. Stop!!!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ App CrashWhat’s going on with the app? Ever since I updated to iOS 15, my app keeps crashing..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Vocal liveMy vocal live just crashed in the middle of a gig. Please update your latest version of vocal live to work with iso 15. My phone updated now my vocal live will not open, it crashes every time I try opening it. I have the paid version with several in app paid additions.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Please UpdatePlease update your app, VocaLive. I used to use this app all the time but it now experiences issues with other apps that have been more frequently updated, namely AudioMaster. This app isn't free and it would be awesome if you guys could make it user-friendly and modern again. Thank you. If you make changes I'll be glad to give a better review. This used to be a great app but it's become rather obsolete. I'm downgrading my stars because this app is useless. It's not working with other apps because it hasn't been upgraded in forever ans the developers obviously didn't care to take our money and continue to give us what we paid for. What a waste..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Has got to improveThis certainly has potential and i can wait till it improves, but it always giving me some sort of trouble. Wouldn't acknowlege id bought paid version, then wouldnt record, feeds back thru my car radio, today started buzzing through my ipod dock (nothing else did). Only had it a couple of weeks, need to learn how to use its features more effectively but so far find it a diffiicult app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ VocaLive ReviewI am running this application in ios 4. This Application CONSTANTLY malfunctions. I am surprised at Apple for letting this go onto the App store. It would be a fantastic app if it just worked..Version: 1.0
✓ Ripp offSimply the best app.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not getting great resultsI don't know, I may be biased in that I have a TC-Helicon Voicelive 2 hardware processor to compare it to, but I'm finding that there's a heck of a lot of line noise when using this with an iRig and a standard good quality dynamic mic. Input seems very weak on the board/monitors and pushing the gain to compensate seems to bring in the noise, even with noise filtering on. Feedback control also seems to pull the signal out of stereo a bit to favor one channel. I was hoping to be able to drag this around for quick jams etc. but so far disappointed..Version: 1.0
✓ Needs bugs fixingThis is an excellent piece of kit, and has loads of potential. Would have got 5 stars, but after 2 days of perfect use, the problems started. Still able to record and export but the app crashes every time I click a preset FX. This needs to be fixed a.s.a.p. I paid £11.99 plus a further £2.99 fir the 4 track mixer. For that kind of money I would expect it to work properly..Version: 1.0
✓ PLEASE FIXI have been using this app for years with GarageBand connecting with inter-app audio function , and all of a sudden it just stopped connecting with GarageBand , and now I have to use the Audiobus app, and the sound quality and delay are just not the same , I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden!? Mabel the iOS 9 update? I promise to change my review if you guys can fix it some how, this is My favourite app for recording my vocals! Help!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ IK multimediaIK multimedia apps DO NOT support external hardware made by anyone but them. If you just love your iRig mic, buy this. If you want more options, don't buy anything iK. I'm about to unload this, if you want quality vocals this is not the way to go. The iRig is very convenient but leaves some to be desired in quality. Until iK adds third party interface support, they will not be getting another penny from me. Their iPad and iPhone hardware is hardly top quality..Version: 1.0.1
✓ If only...I'd give it 5 stars but between this and Amplitube, IK multimedia comes across to me as greedy and selfish. They make you buy one on iPhone, then one on iPad. Would be great if it was universal for the price, like Ampkit. Peavy has IK beat there. Also to pay $20+ for this app it's so completely irritating to have popup advertising you must dismiss. If I paid or this app don't advertise anything. I shouldn't have to dismiss your latest sales pitch when opening the app. The app itself is great, but IK doesn't seem to be 'for the customer'. If they'd ditch the ads on startup, and make it so I don't have to buy an app for each device I own I'd be a truly happy customer..Version: 1.5
✓ Seems like it was rushed to marketI'm an AmpliTube for iPad user and, despite the infuriatingly poor metronome function (or lack thereof), I use it pretty frequently for song sketches and ideas - good amp models, effects, recorder, etc. It's just goofy to me that this app only displays in portrait mode. What?!?! AmpliTube iPad is most friendly and fuctional in landscape, but fi I want to integrate my work between the two apps, I have to re-orient my iPad..Version: 1.0
✓ VocaliveInteresting and very useful product but VERY BUGGY. This thing just keeps crashing!!! I have iPod touch 2G latest iOS.Version: 1.0
✓ ArrghhSome apps are so bad and pointless that you just delete and forget them. But some apps cost a lot and fall so far short of what they promise that it compels one to write a bad review. Vocalive is so poor and frustrating to use that I wish I could find the lead developer and kick him in the nuts. This would come close to equaling the pain he has caused me in trying to use this app. • The sound is muddy and distorted no matter how you tweak the effects or levels. • Recording is so complicated and unintuitive that it kills any creative flow • I have to re-register every time I open the app • No iPad version The last 3 items make the app sucky. The first one makes it unsable. Total costs: App: $20; 4-track recorder: $5; iRig mic:: $70 - all in about $100.. IKM = Idiots and Knuckleheads Multimedia Also, the icon/splash screen puts one in the mind of Bulgarian Idol (if there was such a thing). P-O-S.Version: 1.0
✓ Don't waste your money!!!!I have tried this app on both the latest iPod and Iphones and could not get it to work without crashing everytime. £11.99, and it does not even work. Don't waste your money..Version: 1.0
✓ Update doesn't workI'm really excited that the audio editing DAW feature is being added to the vocalive app, but it isn't working. When I click on the studio section, the app freezes right away and crashes eventually. Then I have to restore purchases again every time it happens, and it happens every time. Please fix this. I don't want to accidentally make an in-app purchase that I already have on accident by forgetting to restore my in-app purchases. Please fix this problem!.Version: 2.0
✓ Song playerI like the app, my only problem is the songs are alphabetical on my iPad and iPhone 6, however, they are not my iPhone X.Version: 3.0.3
✓ I want my money backCan't afford too expensive in app purchase stuff and without those in app purchase this whole thing app is useless! They sell this empty app too expensive than you are stuck and forced to buy in app purchase I want my money back I will get other cheaper apps now.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Developers PLEASE.... version update 1.0.1I will love to use VocaLive but it does not recognize the % or # characters. Every time I try to use it and click on a song containing any of these two characters, it boots me off the App . These two characters are useful to identify key and speed change . Do I have to modify all my songs to be able to use it? It would be so ease for the developers to correct this. I hope it would be included in the next update. For now I can not use all of my library. I would like to give 5 stars but...... three stars for now.....Version: 1.0.1
✓ Awesome if...The feature bubbles go away and in app purchases worked.Version: 2.0.1
✓ I bay it but ???Hay guys I bay it 9,99$ But what difference this and free ?? Why you need bay in the item 4,99 and 9,99$ ??????.Version: 3.0.1
✓ RubbishThis app in principle is brilliant but in execution terrible, crashes constantly (if it manages to start) avoid and save your money for something worthwhile.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Disappointed....sort ofFirst, quite miffed that it's an iPhone app rather than an iPad specific app. I certainly would NOT have paid $20 if I knew that was going to be the case. Second, it keeps crashing on me. I can't afford to use it live if it's not reliable! The effects are pleasing but, I am getting a lot of noise and a lot of peaking that I can't seem to get any control over. The layout of the whole thing is confusing at first and it's a bit difficult to get to some effects in a hurry. The switch between effects takes too long for some of my purposes. I'm going to try it live this week and see how it flies....if I can get it to work with out any feedback issues or embarrassing crashes...I'll be happy that I can carry my iPad to a gig rather than a heavy rack unit.... Update to follow......Version: 1.0.1
✓ Overpriced, buggy, not suitable for live, too many adsAnd you can't use any of the good fx in combo with each other. The ads and pop ups are the most annoying! Maybe it wouldn't be so laggy and buggy if it wasn't trying to sell me stuff every 5 minutes. I'm giving you an extra star because I know the lagginess is more of a hardware issue, but the fact that you are selling this as a "live" app sets users up to believe it will function in a live setting. Try using this live while playing keys or an instrument, your vocals will feel delayed and it will throw you off (on both A4 and A5 chips). I want my money back..Version: 1.0
✓ If I could give it ZERO stars I would!Great concept but it's a total fail! This app is a complete rip off! It's difficult to use and when you figure out how to use it, it STILL doesn't work! You out on an effect that works initially...then I stops! Doesn't let me bounce my track! How the heck do you delete a track and start over? It's just a waste of your time and money! You have been warned!.Version: 1.5
✓ Import and export issueI can't import my music from google drive or Dropbox ,and I don't like to connect my device to computers coz I have all my music in cloud service.Version: 3.0.1
