When I play my guitar and sing thru the VL3D onto my hard disk recorder and play it back I can hear the guitar on the vocal track. The unintended recording of the guitar is also effected by the harmony function and even tho its very soft, I would like to be able to record a clean vocal track. Is it possible to record the guitar on my hard drive and then play that track back thru the VL3D and have the VL3D use that input to do vocal correction and harmony. Or does the unit only work using the guitar signal directly?

Thanks

Hi Mick. I feel your pain. The way you take the guitar track out of the vocal is to turn the guitar input to off. Roll the knob to off is what I meant. The downside is you don't hear your guitar. However, the fix for that is to record your guitar rhythm, if needed, into RB. Then roll the knob back and just strum for the needed chords. You won't hear it but DigiTech will and will make the harmonies accordingly.

Another idea I have, but haven't tried yet, is to record the rhythm onto a track in RB/PTW and output just that track to the pedal where your guitar would plug in. (BTW this will require two soundcards, or a multi-port soundcard) In that way you can just sing and, when the harmony is needed simply step on the switch to turn the needed harmony on. The track playing back to the DigiTech will, most likely, activate the harmonies to play the right notes. In this way you won't make a mistake while playing and singing at the same time. When you're recording you want the best quality in work and balance possible. So strumming a guitar and singing, tho', not difficult, can still make you boggle a bit. In this way you can simply turn on and off harmony where needed with the foot switch.

Just a thought.
