You change élements very quickly, good work.
The groove sounds like Kravitz, great job
I had this on the tip of my tongue just couldnt think of what and who lol
Love the guitar lick...played along with it on my Casio keyboard while laying down 3 more layers to play along with.. Having listened to other performances on UA-cam, yours confirmed even more my desire to purchase the Boss 505. Just placed my name into the pre-order for next month's restock at Sweetwater. Just subscribed to your channel as well
Very cool to hear man!
I hope you enjoy your 505. I'd love to see some videos of you having fun :)
Now, that's some fire!!
impressive performance dude, big up!
Legendary.
Bro u are using thing thing right and exact!.... Great work.... And it's a slow tempo... My fav...
Very nais boy with very nais beats, i like it!! keep the good work up!
This is great 👍
Sick video!!!
Fuck yeah dude you’re killing it. Been looking into getting an rc505. Looks like the staple to a lot of multi-instrumentalists like you and i
sounds good brother... congratulations
Exceptional !
nice man respect
great looping, good job
I literally looked up “looping multiple instruments” and i could not be more pleased
Hehehe, good to hear man❤️
Your sound!!😊
Love the Klok Bier
Altijd liefde voor Klok :)
Damn you deserve 100 times more followers
Awesome bro! i wanna buy this amazing toy haha :)
Awesome man!
my loop station RC 505 is my favourite thing in my home studio! i'm only 16 so i'm a beginner but wow this sounds amazing! :)
Keep on going man, the loopstation is super fun :)
Nicely Played.
Amazing
this goes so hard boss holy shit
dope set bruh
MUY CHIDO !
This is awesome!! Is there a way to set a specific loop length from the beginning with this device? I'm looking to sync it up with my drum machines, so this kind of functionality would decide whether or not I go with this looper
Thanks man!
Yess you can set a bpm, and the amount of bars it should loop, or do it manually.
I don't think you can sync it to a drum maschine that it starts recording at the time the drum maschine begins it's loop. You'd have to time it manually, but maybe there is a way, i didn't try to figure it out.
I think there's also a option to load sounds into the 505 from the computer, so maybe that's a possibility?
Greetings
Wow Very good
Super Smoothed
Pretty nice looping man !
this is dope
Jamming! sounds like the same progression on "FLY AWAY" by Lenny Kravitz
Nice🔥🔥🔥. This loop station looks great. I never use looper before but I’m considering bought one because it’s funny use multiple instruments to do a song without a recorder. But the prices goes up a lot…
very good
Bruhhhhh , get it 🔥🔥🔥
hey man good video loved it , whats the equipment in the video would help me out alot
Hi thank you for the video! ..... i have a question: in the RC 300 i was recording on different tracks with differet imput volume...seems in the RC 505 this is not possible anymore....can you maybe help me with this?
I’m really blown away with your performance.
I have a question can I plug in the looper to my Blackstar ht club 40 amp? And make my loops on it?
And also can I connect my microphone to the looper and connected same to the amp? Do let me know thanks a lot! And keep it up!
Thanks!
Yess you can plug it to your amp, you can use a 6.3mm jack to connect them, you can do it in mono or in stereo.
The Boss Rc-505 has it's own audio interface, so thats amazing. You can easily attach a mic and a guitar at the same time.
It's a really workflow friendly machine, I would recommend it for sure :)
Good shit bro
Do you ever do shows or down to jam sessions?
good vibes
This is a great video. I was considering buying a BOss RC 505. What other equipment do you have here? Also, how do you have the Boss connected? Do you have the speaker output from the computer just connected ?
Hey, thanks!
I have a midi keyboard, a laptop, audio interface, mixer, field recorder and guitar/bass. I route all the instruments to the 505 and the output to the speakers, and to the the recorder :)
fire!
had so much fun watching this... hey did you have your guitar hooked up to any boxes or was it using the rc 505 efx?
Thanks man :)
Yess the guitar is going through my Zoom G3Xn multi effects pedal, but I often also add fx on the 505!
🔥🔥🔥
Good choice is the RC-505 ha?
Flow of desire and its realization.
Shlomi Stern , Yeah its perfect. Super easy visual interface and a lot of possibilities. From loops, rhytms, sounds and effects. You can do antything :)
Just ordered this.
Ever trip on the cables? Bet you have 🤣
This is the set up I want 🤷♂️
Love this!!! Did you send the bass and guitar through the loop station to separate amps or to the DAW and used amp plugins?
Through the DAW!
I need a setup like this for getting stuff out of my brain and on to a DAW or something. Something I can practice with with the PC switched off/ live basically.
The boss is for the looping and layers, right? But what about drums, shall I get a drum machine? Got a little midi akai thing with no built-in sounds and I've got an analogue lab
Hey there, yeah this workflow of just getting things straight out of your head is amazing.
And for drums I've used a keyboard with midi drum samples from my laptop like here, or a Maschine Mikro MK3, also with midi samples. You can also get a stand alone drum machine, but for me it works fine to have to computer connected.
@@uevo thanks for the response! That's great to know. I think I'll try and pick a Boss up. Creating and forgetting way too many dreamy melodies and I want them developed and saved somewhere. I may come back with updates one day! I'll be here for tips and stuff anyway so you'll see me pop up from time to time.
All the best and stay safe
@@uevo Hey, could you share which drum samples you are using? I need to find a place to get nice drums
@@eeddyaugusto Hey there, i'm not sure what i used here. But i think it's some sounds from some free lofi hiphop drumkits that i found :)
Love your video mate! Im looking to buy a boss rc 505 and I see here you're linking the loop station to the logic to get your preset and MiDi sounds. How do you do this? I want to do something similar. Any advise would be great :)
Hey man.
Yeah so i have logic on my computer with a midi controller connected. Then i select any sound i want.
The output of the computer goes to my audio interface, and from there a left and right cable to a stereo aux cable, and this goes in to the aux input in the 505. this way it works :)
Nice jam - are you using the laptop for just the drum beat? What do you have the little mixer for? I'm assuming that you are plugging the bass, guitar and microphone into the mixer and then into the 505? I'm trying to do a very similar thing, just got a foot switch so I can play my guitar and use my 505, very interested in how you are setting this up
Fire!
Awesome video! Did you run your bass and guitars direct to the mixer, and then the mixer to the 505? Just got my 505 trying to figure it out, thanks!
Thanks man!
I run my bass into my audio interface and through my laptop, guitar goes straight into the 505.
In this setup I only used my mixer to send the output signal to my speakers, and to my field recorder.
But sending multiple instruments through the mixer seems like a good plan, I just use my laptop for effects on them :)
If you have any other questions, I'm happy to help.
I know exactly which drum kit you used haha I love that one with crackle snare
Haha yeah i used that one so much👌🏼
I WANT TO GET AWAAAAY
Groovy...........
Hi! Congrats for the video, it’s awesome! I’m about to buy an Rc505 myself but I’m trying to find about the function that makes it start recording when I start playing. I can see you do it there but until now all the info I found says it’s not possible to do that.... Help please? Thanks
Hey thanks man.
No there is no such function on the 505.
I set a metronome and it counted down 4 bars before recording :)
what made you choose the rc 505 over the 300? I am in the middle of making my decision. you are the first musician i have seen use the 505 super effectively compared to the 300. i am going to most of my loop building at home then use them live while i mainly just use my vocals live.
would love your input on it
The Travis Williams Adventure , hey man.
I chose the 505 because i got inspired by artists like Tash Sulatana, Masego and Dovydas, who all use the 505. The 300 was never really an option for me because the visual interface of the 505 is just so practical. You can really see what you are doing, adjust loop lenghts, choose your tempo or use effects so easily.
I heard that the 300 should have better quality for audio, but i never noticed any problems with it.
The 505 is more oriented to use with your hands in my opinion, but you can connect a foot switch as well. The 300 can maybe be more fluent if you want to use it with your feet.
I hope it helps with your desicion :)
@@uevo thanks man! I did apt of researching yesterday and i chose the 505, it's just miles away with it's capability.
Thanks for replying! Your videos hped influence my decision just becaue of how well you could flow while looping and that was my biggest concern about using my hands when I am also playing piano. Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated!
@@traviswilliams4383 Good to hear man, I think you'll have a lot of fun with it.
Yeah I think it will be allright by switching it by hand, but you can get a foot switch for 50 bucks or less, so that's always a future option.
Happy I could help :)
Check out Marc Rebillet, master of the 505
Dope
If you start to sing fly away lyrics it's perfect for it...
I want to get away, i wanto to fly awaaaay... Yeaaaah! Yeaaaaah! Yeaaaah!
Very Cool! Is the loop record triggered by incoming audio signal?
Thank youu :)
No it’s just a metronome that counts down 4 beats and then starts recording.
Nicely done mate. Are you using a pedal for that first guitar lick? Or is it the stock robot effect? Thanks man
Yeah it's a pedal with Auto-wah :)
Probably the best video I've ever seen
Thanks man!
I don't completely understand what you mean with connect your phone haha.
Do you mean how I record the sets?
If so, here I used a mixer to split the output channel from the 505. So one channel goes to my speakers, and the other one to my field recorder :)
Let me know if this wasn't your question!
@@uevo thanks for your quick answer man :) ! No my question is how to have the best sound quality ? I'm using Instagram Live and when I record, the sound is not good because it's not directly plug from my mixer to the phone.
Maybe for you, you directly record with your computer for the sound ?
Thanks :)
@@arthursorel7289 Ah like this,
Yeah if you can find a way to get the internal sound from the 505 that's best for sure. With a microphone or phone recording the room is always gonna be worse haha.
So if you can use a mixer and split the channel. And then maybe you can send one signal directly to your phone with an aux?
I'm not sure if this is possible, but using a mixer and using the direct sound out from the looper is for sure the best quality :)
Cool video! How do you make the looper wait for your first bass-tone?
I allways have to press the button EXACTLY when i wanna start record...
I set a countdown of 1 measure before it starts recording. You can find this under the rhythm section!
Hey bro this is awesome (: i got a Question though. If my song has 2 different chord progressions and even potentially a bridge which is different at one point, what is the feasibility of performing it with this looper? Is it possible to play 2 separate chord progressions seamlessly with this? Ive been looking into it a lot so any advice would be appreciated (:
Hey there, thanks man!
I've also tried this multiple times and it is possible, but I can't really recommend it.
The option that worked best for me is to use a foot pedal (Boss FS-6). If you set it up to stop one loop and start the other, you could switch quite easily. I think I did this in this video: ua-cam.com/video/6Fn_ysESi-I/v-deo.html
The other thing that I do is just stop the loop that you have and play the bridge or another part separately. In a way that you only play one instrument at the time, and maybe let the drums play through.
The tricky thing that I encountered is that is very slow with adding on loops if you use two different progressions, and it can get a bit messy because you need to split up 5 loops to 2 different progressions instead of 1. I had to combine multiple sounds on 1 track because there was no free loops left.
So yes it is possible, and it's quite a fun experiment, but my experience with this is that I'd rather focus on working on a single loop if I use the looper.
If you're goal is to live loop full songs with multiple parts to it maybe learning Ableton live might be a good consideration as well.
Hope it helps man :)
@@uevo thank you so much for taking time to respond. I'm checking out the video now and the info is super helpful. I appreciate the suggestion I'll look a bit more into it and maybe even try to get something going on a pre recorded bass/drum line i can just input in whenever.
You are right though, it had to do with my songs having multiple guitar parts in ea section, and how you go about switching nicely. The adding multiple loops on one track was an interesting feature.
Anyways thanx a log again i appreciate it
@@muggysmiles
Happy to help man!
I've never worked with pre recorded stuff on the looper yet, but you can put audio files from the computer on there as well. So that could be a possibility.
The most tricky thing I found that I noticed that I started to focus more on the transition happening than on actually losing myself and playing freely. I would take a lot of my attention to make sure I switched the right loops to the next section that I would start making mistakes playing. But I think this also a skill you can train.
Feel free to let me know what your experience is or if you have any video's to share :)
Holy shit this is sick man!
Thanks a lot🙏🏼
Dig it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey dude love the music. Just wondering what do you use for an amp? Or speaker. I also have an rc 505 but it sounds like shit through my amp
Hey there, thanks man!
I just use my studio monitors now, I can imagine that it would sound a bit weird through a guitar amp.
Cool video and loop man! I loved it! But My RC-505 sometimes hitches when I press on one of the Play buttons, (Or is it a technique, tap on the sides maybe?) And is there a way that you can modify the touch sensitivity on the RC-505? And maybe you know how to shorten recorded samples, I have read that it is possible!
Thats nice to hear, thanks man!
I actually don't know how to setup those functions, there are a lot of moments that I'm also struggling with the right controls. It's a complicated machine haha. Maybe to shorten samples, you can just turn down the loop length after you recorded something?
If I shorten the loop length, only thing it does is playing the loop faster! :-(
Nice
Cool Jam session buddy ✌🏻
Can I ask.. what's the small device between ur 505 an ur mixer an what does it do?
Thanks man! :)
When i started looping i used a field recorder to record my sessions. So that’s what the device is! Haven’t recorded my sets with this in a long time tho, now i just loop it back into my laptop.
How do you change the settings to where it counts down before it starts recording? Because I'm trying to play on guitar and I'm having issues getting it to record when I start playing instead of immediately.
Hey, you go down to the rhytm section, and here you can set ‘count in’ to ‘1 meas’. This way it counts down. I think this will do, good luck
Hey man would love to see a video of how you linked the keyboard + laptop with the loop station...
Hey there, I've made a video about this a while ago :)
ua-cam.com/video/6Fn_ysESi-I/v-deo.html
It's not the best, so if you have any questions feel free to ask!
This is so sick man. I’m trying to get a similar set up. All I’m missing is the boss. Quick question. Do you have to plug all the instruments into a mixer which then plaits into the boss? Or so they directly plug into the boss? Thanks
Hey there, thanks!
Here's a video where I sort of try to explain how I set it all up: ua-cam.com/video/6Fn_ysESi-I/v-deo.html
And in short, no I don't put all my instruments in a mixer, but that can work for sure. I do directly into the 505, and what doesn't fit runs through my computer & audio interface :)
@@uevo you’re awesome thanks man. Just got the boss and have been messing with it and it is a blast. All I need is a mic now to record some extra percussion stuff. Any recommendations on mics? Not trying to spend crazy money but also don’t want a 10 dollar mic from Walmart haha
@@DCDYKE33 hehe thanks man! Happy your having fun with it :)
I'd recommend a dynamic mic like a sure sm57. I have a rode dynamic mic, not sure which one 😅 they should all be around 50-150 euros.
@@uevo Sweeeeet! Making the purchase soon! Last question. Can we be friends?? Haha but for real thanks for all of the info and thanks for rockin brotha. Any plans for a future 505mk2 video? Thanks again.
@@DCDYKE33 Hahaha for sure man, hit me up on IG if you can :)
instagram.com/uevo_music/
And not planning to get the MK2 at the moment. I'm focussing more on some beats and releases for streaming platforms, but might get to some new live sets later this year!
Hello. Nice jamming session! I am curious to know what do you running have on the Mac?
Logic pro X!
@@uevo thanks for the quick reply
Happy to help man, let me know if there's anything else :)
Hey dude. Sweet session. What software are you using there on the Mac? How do you hook in your guitar and bass to the rc505?
Thanks man!
I mainly use Logic, but latey also Maschine.
My guitar goes straight into the instrument input in the 505.
My bass goes to my audio interface through logic and then into the 505.
So i use my mac for effects on bass and midi sounds.
Thanks for watching :)
@@uevo So do you have the audio interface connected direct to the rc505 through usb? Or are you doing bass->interface->aux input on the 505?
Richie Sun , The 505 doesn't have a usb input if im right. So i put it in the aux input. Probably the stereo jacks would be better quality, but it works haha :)
Thanks for the info dude. I'm about to start looking mine up.
Richie Sun , always happy to help :)
Good luck and have fun!
Great stuff!
How are your different instruments plugged to the looper? I unplug the cable and switch when playing but I can hardly hear the guitar when plugged directly in the looper but the keyboard sounds fine. Is there something I'm missing?
I have an audio interface connected to the aux input in the 505, usually I connect my bass this way.
My guitar goes through a guitar effects box into the L/mono input in the 505. If you turn your level-inst know open you should hear the guitar. It has a audio interface built in so it should work directly from the guitar. If this doesn't work I would know.
Thanks for watching :)
@@uevo I use a 12 channel mixer into the stereo inputs of the 505. Through that I loop a piano, synth, 2 drum machines, guitar, bass, and vocals. Just mute each instrument at the mixer when I am not looping it to keep the noise down.
johnnyrocco123 , That seems like a perfect working system :)
Тhanks, super. tell me if you can. I have a question I don't know what to do. overdubbing, saving in a looper. I turn on the playback, everything is fine, but when I dump it to the laptop via the cable, the playback is very, very quiet, I connect the speaker, nothing changes. maybe in the Looper settings you need to change some parameter when sending a file. help if you can with advice. Thank you
new fkj, I SEE YOU
Hey man, awesome video! Question, how are you linking everything up to run with your mac? Is it an audio interface? You should do a setup tutorial!!
Hey, thanks man!
Yeah it's a pretty weird setup, maybe I'll make a video about it one day :)
I connected my laptop to an audio interface, this interface is the input for a guitar or bass, and the midi from my piano.
On my laptop I switch between sounds that I can use on my keyboards or effects for my guitar.
The interface sends all the sounds to the aux input on the boss rc505.
Together with the guitar and mic input in the 505 I can use all the sounds I want and loop.
The output from the boss I directed to my speakers and a field recorder, with which I record everything.
The interface that I'm using right now is the Tascam US 4x4.
@@uevo am I right in thinking that the 505 can kind of be used as an interface itself though and connect via usb meaning there would be no need for an interface?
@@uevo hey bro awesom track, are you using the Mac book pro silicone m1 chip?
@@JaySubi53 thanks man! No i'm using a 2017 macbook pro :)
