Hi all.. Im new here, so be kind.
Here is my basic question - in our current technology environment, is it better to go with vocal processing hardware or software? The vocal processing I am referring to is harmonizing, doubling, etc.
The reason I ask is that I just went to Guitar Center and bought a Boss VE 5 based on some video's I saw. When I looked for it online, I could not find it anywhere under $250.00. When I went to Guitar Center, the guy said it was on Clearance for $199.00. I freaked out thinking that hardware vocal processing is on its way out and the focus is maybe moving to software. PS - I bought the Boss processor but have not used it yet).
I would appreciate all of your thoughts on this, cuz I still have time to return it.
Hardware/Software currently in use:
Macbook Pro using GarageBand
PreSonus Firebox
Shure SM58 microphone
