Automatic Voice enhancer
Well, I've been told (by a blowhard) that there is a mixer that will automatically adjust the singers voice so he/she will sound a lot better than the would normally. I can only do so much with my mixer which is ok but when I'm busy, it would be nice to be freed up from this.....So, is it true they make something....been looking and no luck.
Plus, anyone use the Sabine mixer w/feedback eliminator?? |

I would use the Sabine FB Eliminator over anything else, however in most cases it just isn't needed. What causes feedback the most is improper speaker placement, improper gain structure on the mixer & people sticking the mics too close to the speakers. A Feedback Eliminator will aid, but can also do more harm to the overall sound - especially if any of the 3 main causes are in place because what a FBE unit does is sense the feedback & then slices out that particular frequency until it stops. Well all that is going to happen now is another frequency will start to feed, it pulls that one out as well. Someone gets too close to the speaker & it might pull 4 or 5 frequencies - by this time there are about 6-7 frequencies pulled out, the sound is not longer very good. Good speaker placement, better mic control (you can teach people) & better gain structure on the mixer is the main place to start. After that I would opt for a good dual 31 band eq & try to ring out problem frequencies or easy way, get a dbx DriveRack with RTA mic & set the room up automatically.

i had one about 7 years ago before we all went digital,( i was using a mini disc back then ) it was made by A.R.E. it was a table top type gear not a rack mount , cost me almost $700, the only bad thing about it was its only good for 1 mic,and this was a very excellent gear, you can sound like from michael jackson to darth vader, eagles to a church choir..has a pitch correction etc.i had to trade it in for a mackie vlz

I use a Vocopro mixer and it has Key Control for both the music and the microphones. However no amount of key shift is going to fix a flat singer. You may be able to bring their pitch down or up slightly but if they are off key it won't help.
Reverb/Echo will help some and that may be what they were asking for.

I just want the mixer that has the built in suck knob so I can dial down how bad the singer sounds, I think the one I have isn't working.

Why is it that the worst singers always think it is your equipment that is making them sound bad?? We have one who is always flat and two lines behind the lyrics. She accuses us of speeding the songs up to make her sound bad.

Billyo, I would be interested in something like that...even if it were just for fun. Do you have any more info on it cause I can't seem to find anything on the web about A.R.E. Thanks |

i'll see if i still have the manual, that was a while back and i wished i have never traded it, caused that was a very nice gear to have..and also it's not really an auto. enhancer you have to kinda set it manually to look for voice effects you wanted..i might be wrong on the manufacturers name, if not A.R.E. try D.O.D ( can't tell you the meaning of ) i think Lexicon has one too, so you might wanna try seaching the web for "voice enhancer"
