Real-time vocal effects for the stage or studio
What’s new in VocaLive 3.0.2
- New Live mode optimized for on-stage use
- Seamless integration with iRig Stomp I/O
- Expanded 2-track recorder available free
The first professional vocal processor for live performance and multi-track recording on iPhone/iPad
VocaLive lets you create amazing vocal effects by chaining up to 4 effects procesors into a single effects chain, just like you would in the studio.
Use VocaLive on stage as your own personal controllable vocal effects processor adding lush reverbs, delays, multi-part harmonies, creative effects and more, all at your fingertips.
VocaLive also lets you record up to 8 tracks of audio simultaneously and is perfect for tracking vocals with multi-track class compliant USB audio interfaces.
VocaLive gives you the ability to make your microphone sound like a vintage studio mic and more, plus it features a 4-track looper for developing ideas on the fly.
While VocaLive works seamlessly with any compatible audio input device, it is optimized to work with IK's range of high-quality microphones and audio interfaces, like iRig Mic HD 2 or iRig Mic Studio digital microphones, iRig Mic, iRig Mic Lav analog mics, or iRig Pre, iRig Pre HD, iRig Pro I/O or iRig Pro Duo interfaces.
Use Vocalive with iRig Pro Duo for simultaneous two-channel recording for singer-songwriter projects, duets and more.
Process your voice with powerful tools
VocaLive provides vocalists with a suite of 12 real-time professional vocal effects for studio quality sound in a portable package. Combine up to 4 simultaneous effects in a real-time signal chain.
VocaLive includes 5 "Vocal Effects" – Pitch Fix (for tuning correction or stylized quantization FX), Choir (a 3-part harmonizer), Morph (an X-Y pitch and formant shifter that changes the tonal quality of the voice from subtle deepening to radical gender bending), De-Esser (to remove sibilance from the voice), and Double (Double effect gets unlocked by registering).
VocaLive also has 7 available "Studio Effects" – Reverb, Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter.
Together these effects create the perfect vocal processing solution.
Ready for the stage
VocaLive's new Live Mode offers all the essential information you need, at a glance and in a layout that’s easy to read on-stage.
See your entire vocal chain clearly, with visual indicators of what’s on and off, or easily see and change your presets.
Live Mode activates with a touch and eliminates anything that would distract you from your performance.
You get a live-optimized interface that rivals any dedicated vocal multiFX system, without sacrificing the flexibility and sound quality you expect from IK.
Control yourself
VocaLive offers deep, easy to edit integration with a range of controllers. Connect iRig Stomp I/O, IK’s revolutionary USB pedalboard controller and audio interface that lets you control effects, presets, settings and more, just like a hardware multiFX system. Or connect iRig BlueBoard and enjoy editable, wireless control over presets and effects. VocaLive is also MIDI compatible so IK’s MIDI interfaces (like iRig MIDI 2) let you connect external controllers and associate patches or parameters with just a few taps.
Re-mike your IK Mic
Got an IK microphone? VocaLive now includes a powerful new Mic Room mic modeling section that lets you "re-mike" any IK microphone to sound and perform like some of the most coveted studio microphones of all time.
It lets you choose from 20 microphones that include dynamic, condenser, ribbon and some other highly creative models.
8-track Recording Studio
VocaLive also has a powerful Recorder/Studio section that lets you record up to 8 channels of simultaneous multi-track audio and edit it with the flexibility and precision of a DAW. With the Recorder you get full control over your recordings and mixes with all the expected track controls — solo, mute, pan, 3-band EQ, 2 sends per channel, a master effects section and global effects.
Switch over to the Studio section and you're immediately in "DAW-land" — you get a detailed waveform visualization (with a time grid and quick undo/redo), touch-and-drag looping, easy punch-in and punch-out recording, a quick per-channel FX enable/disable button and streamlined access to all recording, mixing and editing controls. Recording, mixing and editing in VocaLive is fast, easy and extremely intuitive.

Loop in your creativity
Got a quick idea? Use VocaLive’s 4-track audio looper to get your thoughts down and experiment with different harmonies, melodies and vocal ideas. These loops can be easily recorded and played on the go.
You can trigger the loops via MIDI controllers like the iRig BlueBoard, and each loop has its own volume control for creative mixing.
You can even export your loops for use in the DAW/Recorder or share them with the world.

Your own personal
rehearsal space
VocaLive also lets you sing along to any song in your music library — in the “song” section, it features a Voice Cancel function that lets you practice over the existing vocals.
You can also warm up your voice with its helpful included vocal warm-up tools.
Save and recall presets
Each VocaLive effect processing chain you create can be saved as a preset so you can always recall and use it on stage or in your recordings. A collection of 55 factory presets is included to get you up and running immediately. User presets can be stored, and their number is limited only by the available memory of the device itself. You can use a MIDI controller like iRig BlueBoard to step through presets in live situations.
Get Connected
Routing audio on an iPhone or iPad has never been easier with VocaLive. You can take full advantage of iOS 8’s generous app-to-app audio routing options and use Apple’s built-in Inter-App Audio feature to route the audio from VocaLive to other apps like GarageBand or Cubasis.
VocaLive is also fully compatible with Audiobus (a third party app, sold separately). This lets you route audio through up to three apps. With it, you can use VocaLive as an effects processor for an instrument or for audio coming from another app. You can also route the audio coming from another app through the VocaLive signal chain and right into the recorder section.
