- Learn every piece of gear you need to build a redundant vocal processing rig.
Hope is not a backup plan. This guide will teach you about all the gear required to build a fail-proof vocal processing rig - just like the pros use on-stage.
Discover the 3 S’s of redundancy, how each piece of gear is used, and recommendations on gear and other info.
Yes, redundancy is an investment, BUT it’s more realistic than you think, and it’s absolutely worth it to make sure you have perfect vocals no matter what.

When I do redundancy, I usually have Mac 1 autotune, totally separate from Mac 2 and Mac 3 synced for the stems.
You can have two Macs that share the UAD INTERFACE autotune and at the same time sync and play stems with playAUDIO12. WHAT WOULD THE MONITORING OF autotune and stem monitoring be like?
Is it used like this or is it recommended everything separately, that is, autotune separately mac 1 mac 2
and stems mac 3 mac 4 synchronized
Could you use the control out from the play audio 12 into the backtracks jr 2 input to automatically switch vocals and playback to the b rig using life sine in case of a failure?
Hello!. thanks for the vídeo sir! i would like to ask you wich audio interface do you recommend for live vocal processing for 4 singers, because the arrow have limited outputs and one would need like 8 arrows (counting the backups) to have a redundant system with 4 singers in mono, would the apollo twin x4 would be that solution? Thanks!
any of the higher input UA interfaces would work. Then x2 and into an SW-8. Check out the redundant Vox course for a full walkthrough of what to do with more inputs!
@@fromstudiotostage thank you so much! i will check it out
Hey Will! Thank you for taking the time to share this information. What do you think about using the iConnectivity Audio4c as the interface with the play audio 12 for redundant vocals? I totally agree that UA is better for near zero latency and freeing up the CPU load to focus on tracks but i’m curious if the 4c would work on a budget for redundant vocals?
It works, try it and see if it works for you
So with this rig it is possible to run playbacks on ableton and use realtime autotune in live concert situation?

@@fromstudiotostage would the tutorial on your website help me make my own?
