Getting to know VoiceLive 3
VoiceLive 3 – Reference manual (updated 2015-10-20) 74
Setting up USB Audio
Setting up USB Audio in Windows
When Windows detects a new audio device, it
will automatically set the device as “Disabled”.
The Audio Device Manager also “Hides Disabled
Devices” by default. This means that you may
not see VoiceLive 3 in your “Playback” or “Re-
cording” devices tabs.
To fix this, right-click on the Playback or Record-
ing tab and uncheck “Hide Disabled Devices”.
Then, click on VoiceLive 3 in both your Playback
and Recording tabs and “Enable” the device.
Here’s a video that shows you how:

This will allow you to use VoiceLive 3 as your in-
put and output device.
Setting up USB Audio in OS X (Mac)
Your Mac should automatically detect VoiceLive 3
as an audio device when it is connected, and in-
stall the correct driver. You will then have to open
the Audio MIDI Setup utility and set your Voice-
Live 3 as the “Playback” and “Recording” de-
vice(s), depending on how you’d like to use VL3
in your setup.
DAWs
When using a Digital Audio Workstation, you’ll
need to choose the driver type for your audio
devices. If you are using VoiceLive 3 with no oth-
er audio devices connected to your DAW – i.e.,
like a regular external audio interface –, then you
should choose a WDM, Direct Sound or “Generic
Low Latency ASIO Driver” (Cubase) setting.
It is not advisable to use WASAPI – especial-
ly with Audacity – since it puts the audio into
“Loopback mode” and feeds input into output.
Round-trip audio latency
There is roughly 70 milliseconds of round-trip
latency through VoiceLive 3. When you have re-
corded vocal/guitar parts to tracks in your DAW,
you’ll need to offset them accordingly in order for
them to line up with other audio.
Programs like Cubase allow you to offset tracks
individually. Otherwise, manually “sliding” the
track works very well.
DAW Audio + MIDI Data Timing
If you are using MIDI data/sync from a DAW
such as Ableton alongside USB audio (as you
might do when performing live), you may need
to adjust Ableton’s MIDI offset in order to have
the USB audio line up correctly with the internal
VoiceLive 3 metronome. The USB audio takes a
tiny fraction of time to go “through” VL3 to the
outputs, so you’ll need to delay MIDI data from
your computer to compensate.
The best way to achieve the above is to send an
audio metronome (along with MIDI clock) from
Ableton via USB to your VoiceLive 3. You should
hear the metronome from Ableton coming from
the VoiceLive 3. Then, activate the internal MET
in VoiceLive 3 on the Loop Layer. In Ableton,
go to the Setup/MIDI page and use MIDI Send
Offset until you hear the audio metronome from
Ableton and the internal VoiceLive 3 metronome
line up perfectly. It may take some experimen-
tation, but +70ms or so is a good starting point.
