Soo i was in the middle of recording and then all the sudden like my headphones went out.. the headphones icon thing next to the recording button when i click it, it just says “Vocal monitoring is disabled to prevent feedback. Plug in a headset to enable”. Everything has been plugged in the whole time and now its saying nothing is. Is it a glitch or anybody know a fix? I damn near did everything i could think to do. I can only hear audio playing from the phone. I use a mic, interface & iphone 16, & headphones. So idk what happen smh i dont believe my headphones went out on me or atleast i hope not, they are pretty new still so idk smfh

Hey everyone, some of you have asked me why I haven't been posting and checking on me, and I appreciate the concern from everyone (yes, you too 😉) I don't feel ashamed to explain to you all what's been going on and hopefully it'll be a learning experience.

Initially, my headset was broken, and I planned on getting a new pair, and then I realized my adapter piece went out on me as well. But in February, I was evicted from my apartment and had been living in a hotel for 3 months, so money needed to be invested elsewhere, obviously. During this time, I had a bad MS flare-up that landed me in the hospital for about 2 days, and I was told to take it slow..so... another setback. FINALLY, we moved into our new apartment on May 1st, AND I have started a job that leaves me damnere bedridden (yes, cause of the MS). Which takes a damn toll, unfortunately. But now I am getting back into the swing of things, and you all can expect music coming soon. I'm working on getting a new quality set to continue to make those songs that some of you have learned to love. I only feel that it's fair that I tell you all (those who check reddit) what's been going on. If all of this is TMI, sorry, but this is my life. And like it or not, Voloco IS a part of my life❤️

New update just dropped and this one's a good one.

Voloco is 100% founder and employee-owned. We keep the app free through ad revenue, but if we're being honest, we'd much rather fill those spots with music. So that's what we did. Starting in 9.15, some of those placements now feature Boosted tracks from artists right here in the community. Less interruption, more discovery. Early results show Boosts are delivering more than triple the plays compared to before.

We're also rolling out Super Boost, our longest promotional option yet. More visibility, more time in Voloco's top feeds, and a better value per hour. If you've got something you want the world to hear, this is the move.

Have questions? Drop them in the comments.

If you're working on a singing-forward track, here are a few things worth knowing.

Pick the right effect. For R&B and pop you want pitch correction that keeps you on pitch without sounding processed. Natural Tune is the go-to for a clean, polished sound. If you want something fuller, Big Chorus stacks rich harmonies behind your voice. Bon Hiver is great if you're going for a lush, layered sound.

Set your key correctly. Voloco detects it automatically when you load a backing track, but if something feels off go into Project Settings and adjust it manually. It makes a bigger difference than you'd think.

Layer your vocals. Record your lead first, then add a double and harmonies on separate tracks. Apply a subtle effect to your lead and something heavier to the backing tracks.

That's how you get that stacked, produced sound without ever opening a DAW!
