VoiceJam  Manual  1.3.00  

 

The  Promise

 

What  if  you  could  create  something  musically  amazing  with  just  your  
voice?  What  if  you  didn't  need  musical  instruments,  sheet  music,  or  
complicated  recording  software?  What  if  you  could  create  an  entire  
song  with  your  voice,  simulating  bass  lines,  melodies,  rhythms  and  
sound  effects,  all  in  one  pass,  without  ever  stopping  to  think  about  it?  

 

Learn  VoiceJam’s  intuitive  interface  and  workflow  and  you’ll  quickly  
discover  how  to  create  amazing  music  anytime  and  anywhere  you  
want.    You  may  soon  find  yourself  harmonizing  your  own  voice;  
building  up  rich  rhythmic  grooves  by  beat-­‐boxing  or  by  capturing  the  
sounds  of  the  physical  objects  in  your  life.   Perhaps  you’ll  find  yourself  
sharing  your  creations  with  your  peers,  or  maybe  even  winning  TC-­‐
Helicon  competitions  for  great  prizes?  

 

 

How  it  Works

 

At  the  heart  of  VoiceJam  is  a  powerful  audio  looper.  An  audio  looper  works  by  continuously  recording  
sounds  you  make  while  playing  them  back  in  a  repeating  loop.  The  cool  thing  is  that  as  the  loop  repeats,  
you  can  keep  layering  new  sound  on  top  of  it.   Whatever  you  can  capture  with  your  device’s  
microphone,  you  can  add  as  a  layer.    Traditional  audio  loopers  constrain  you  to  a  single  bar  of  music.  
While  they  often  make  it  easy  for  us  to  build  up  a  great  phrase  with  each  new  layer  and  track,  they  
don’t  make  it  easy  to  go  anywhere  with  the  original  idea.  VoiceJam  on  the  other  hand  encourages  you  
to  expand  outwards,  giving  you  the  tools  to  create  a  complete  musical  performance  with  all  the  
dramatic  structure  of  a  fully  mixed  composition.    It`s  not  about  toying  with  small  ideas,  it`s  about  
creating  something  truly  great  from  the  ground  up.  

 

 

What  You  Need

 

Compatible  Devices:    iPhone  4,  4s,  iPad  2,  iPad  Mini,  iPad  Air,  iPod  touch  4

th

 generation  or  newer.  

Optional:   Headphones  are  highly  recommended  but  not  required.    You  may  experience  nasty  audio  
feedback  if  the  sound  coming  from  the  device  speaker  can  be  heard  by  the  device  microphone,  thereby  
creating  an  audio  feedback  loop.    In  this  case  turn  down  the  volume  or  use  headphones.
