| This is a QUALITY rack. I only had it for a week, and was able to figure it out without reading the manual. (the manual sucks!) | | Features:
| You can tweek this thing to a desireable sound to come very close to realistic. I thing the BEST feature is downloading the editor software. This helped me out a lot with the learning cure. I also love the pitch correction that is loaded, and it is way better than the Antares pitch correction rack. As far as adding a feature I would have to say a memory card slot for saving additional user presets would be fantastic. | | Ease of Use:
| I was afraid to make this purchase because I read quite a few reviews saying that this Unit was hard to use. Once I went through the interface, and downloaded the Editor Software it is a piece of cake to use. But the learning curve will be steep if you don't know music theory. | | Sound:
| It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Wasn't sure if it was passable for realism, but I came pretty close. | | Reliability:
| Only time will tell. I only had this unit for two weeks. | | Overall:
| I'm really happy I bought this product. It's going to help me a lot with completing my vocal sessions quicker. Again, it was worth every penny spent. | | Do you own this product?:

| | | Subject: | Not an Eventide, but great for the $ | | Quality:
| Solid construction, and a great feel on all the controls | | Features:
| Very very tweakable... tons of options that you will need to access to make it work perfectly... so get ready for a fairly steep learning curve.... although some of the presets will work out of the box... BTW, the included editor is a godsend... you can remotely control the unit from your DAW, and access all the options...Great feature! | | Ease of Use:
| It's got a learning curve, but as mentioned above the editor software gives you instant access to all the options from the DAW, so you have no excuse not to get in there and muck with it. | | Sound:
| Better than expected.. nice quality mic pre, good harmony tracking, good effects | | Reliability:
| No issues yet... sits in the rack | | Overall:
| Better than I expected it to be. Very nice for adding background vocals on the fly complete with effects and pitch correction. Makes my recordings better and faster. | |

| | | Subject: | Don't expect help from TC Helicon | | Quality:
| The unit I purchased came with a "bug" in the software. After several contacts with TC Helicon, they state that they have decided the problem is with the software and not the hardware. They will not authorize to exchange the unit and will only forward the sorfware report to the technical staff. | | Features:
| If all the features worked, this would be one of the best units availabe. | | Ease of Use:
| The unit is very easy to use. It could use a better method of switching from one non-neighboring chanel to the next, during a performance. | | Sound:
| On the chanels that work, the tone is very nice. Can't say that is the case overall | | Reliability:
| Brand new unit came with a software defect. And TC Halicon has no fix patch for it. | | Overall:
| Based upon the unit that I have received, very poor product for the price and lack of technical suppoert that comes with it. |
