2/5Limited to one critical effect
This would be a good companion with AmpliTube as it would allow me to build a minimum rig when required. I would love using this with AmpliTube on my iPad, as I could use a small battery powered interface with an amp, which should give me all the guitar and voice effects I need. Unfortunately you can only use one of the following effects at a time; double, choir, pitch effects, and morph. I’m not sure why this is the case as I would think modern iPads would have more than enough computing power to run each simultaneously in my voice effects chain…Fix this, and this product would be the best standalone voice effects app around…

5/5You Did It! Thank You IK Multimedia!
I have been a fan of IK for several years now. To be honest when iOS 15 came out and VL started crashing I wanted to crash my phone through a window. But I didn’t because I knew they would make it right and now they have. I have used VL for years and I’ve used all the big name daw”s but non of them are explained as well on the modules and how to use them. Something I’ve never tried is using third party apps with VL through audiobus. I’m going to give it a go later today. IK maybe you could help me out with this question please: in audiobus you have the source, effects and output. What’s the best configuration using VL and what should I use for the output? I have cubasis and a truck load of AU extensions. I’ve never ran VL through Audiobus so please a little professional help. I also use VL on my iPad Air 4 and iPad 7th gen. I’ll write reviews for each as I get to them later today. Until then, a BIG Shout out to IK Multimedia for keeping their word as they always do. I appreciate an app that’s a little bit late on compatibility instead of an app thrown together with a ton of bugs and glitches just in the name of a timely release. That’s worse than waiting for the correct app configuration. Anyone who wants to use quality products with the best customer service hands down give IK a try. Actually give them an honest shot instead just scanning through the app like I first did and said some choice words deleted but came back with the intention that nothing beats me I’m going to make this work let’s roll. Read the tutorials and manual which taught me how the modules work etc. sure other apps give you easier to understand interface but you don’t know how they work they just work. But you can’t bake a cake with 20 eggs, 2 cups of milk and a pan with a hole on it. When it’s mixed up looks a little odd but when you pour it in the pan you can see there’s a problem. Think about that analogy.

2/5Not working with Bluetooth or aux jack
I really love this app, but the fact that it's not working at all with my Bluetooth headset really hurts the rating. It also does not play well through the aux. It also gets glitchy when arming and disarming tracks, causing it to blast out extremely loud. Also, it's not working smoothly with GarageBand. I love the features inside this app and if these issues were resolved, there wouldn't be a rating high enough for it. iPhone 6s Plus 128 and IRig duo. I see great possibilities with this app. If these problems are fixed, I will be the best advertisement I can be for you guys. If there's anything that I can do to help, please let me know, because I want it to work right as bad as anyone.

2/5If it ain't broke, don't fix it
You 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!!!

1/5Please Update
Please 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.
