If you are at all interested in this sort of thing, it is a definite "YES!". Get this loopstation. So many possibilities. Brez does a good job of its introduction. Worth every penny.
I've had a RC505 for nearly 4 years now. You have shown me that I'm barely using it to the potential it has. Up until now I've been using the effects on the output. I didn't even look on the other side to see that there are effects for the input. I also didn't know that it's an audio interface as well. I'm away from my studio atm but when I get back there are quite a few things I'm going to try with mine. I was going to get a SP404 to put effects on my samples before I sequence them in my MPC2000XL but I have a feeling that the RC505 will do the job that I want the SP404 to do. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work. Subbed.
Im a guitar player / keyboard player and I use the 505. It is invaluable and I actually prefer using it vs floor loopers. I like having all the controls right in front of me.
Does it have a metronome so you can make sure your loops will fit your song. I am thinking of using it in a live performance but precording a loop and then playing the loop in the middle of the song (so I can do other stuff)
@@darrinsiberia yes it has an internal drum machine that among its patterns has several metronome patterns (added to the pre-record or pre-play clicks that you also can activate).
Man thank you so much ive been trying to figure out how to connect it with my guitar and amp and its the only guide i found on youtube that actually showed and explained
Brez: releases 505 review video aimed at introducing the machine to people who don’t have one Me, a daily user of this device for years: hmmm how DO you connect your mic to it? Reverb? Wow! 😁
This review is amazing! It's just what I needed. I was thinking if I should rent it or buy it. Thank you God of Hype and Loopstation. You're an absolute legend.
Good for everyone to know that it is possible to use this as a floor pedal using your toe. I play the cello (sitting down mostly) and after trying I didn’t like the feel of the rc300 since my feet are always bare while needing to access more features on the pedal. It’s great I highly recommend other cellist to try it out
It took me two years to find the MKII station. It just wasn't available anywhere. I finally got one this Christmas and cannot wait to see what I can do with it. It came with European outlet plug so I haven't been able to use it yet since I am in the USA. I just picked up the US adapter yesterday. I'm pretty pumped.
Thanks for all your effort man it really helped me fully decide to get it. I can’t wait to buy it and who knows maybe I could be at ur level one day haha
dude this video was a review, but you had SOOOO much tutorial to get some basic stuff going! i really hoping i can find a BOSS ROC-505 soon cause i really wanna have some fun with it. thanks for this amazing video
Super informative, and an excellent short form breakdown of how it works. I don't aim to get one soon, but this will help me understand when I watch loop battles now... :)
Just bought the RC-505 after hesitating for months. Cant wait to get it! I also bought a Shure-SM8 to accompany it, but I’m not sure if it was the best mic to get. So excited! Thank you for great content and music BreZ!
Thanks your video was very informative I play keyboards and guitar for fun. I have an RC1 and RC5 but I wanted all the extra cool stuff and I'm trying to eliminate too many effects boxes and maybe just use this to replace my crappy little mixer.
Hey BreZ, thank you sooo much for this vid bro wanted to start looping and get this but dint know what to expect and how to start looping this vid was just what i needed to buy it and what to look forward thenks bro! keep up with the great uploads !
I'm from brazil and the rc 505 it's about R$4000,00 that's is SO expensive in here and that really put me down I'm just 18 year old but i hope one day i can buy it I've seen loop station videos for about 5 years and never had a experience
Nice, Mixcraft is my DAW for most things. I was all set to pre-order the MKII, but after watching a few of your vids I don't know if I want to wait or if I want to just grab the current version. As a newbie I probably won't be missing too many new features of the MKII.
Do you still use Mixcraft by chance? Most people I know don't use it, but I love the interface and how simple it is, yet powerful at the same time. Do you know any good websites for resources like plugins for it? Thx
Thanks for this review! I've had mine for a week now and love the functionality! My only problem is the overall sound quality seems harsh and shrill. Might this be due to the 16 bit audio vs 24 or 32? Or some other reason? I wish I could get past this issue but all I hear are irritating frequencies as I'm recording in and hearing back.
@@nitnickers yes I did, happy with it, also bought the arturia minifreak synthesizer and combine it with handpan, jaw harp and soon to get my didgeridoo back. The looper is great, need some time to learn the settings about measures, quantizing and so on, but has a great potential, and the effects are also amazing.
Hi BreZ. Many thx for your vids ....... as I need to get a mic too ..... would having a ‘switched’ SM58. Be advantageous when using the 505 ? I see you use the ( non switched) Senheiser .....so is it just a matter of learning to use the 505 differently ........ or would you recommend ‘switched’ if given the choice ??? Thx for any feedback. Cheers.
I started off with the Kaoss Pad KP3 and transitioned to the RC505 shortly after. Best decision I ever made! One thing I haven't figured out though, is how to do what some TikTok users and such do. In other words, how to record the audio directly from the machine while recording video that syncs up with it of me creating the track. I've never been a video editor so half the time I just record audio with my phone that comes from my studio monitors. NOT the most idea lol.
Can I hook my external delay to it & dub with it, like a Zen Delay or Beni Dub spring reverb ? I’m getting one for sure & videos like this really help, Ty
THANK YOU!!! __/|\__ May I ask, how long you have been beatboxing? And when did you buy that first loopstation? Keep it up, my man... you are VERY talented!!! Props (all the way from Denmark).
I love the effects and options this looper has. I make music with synths, drum machines and guitars. Would anyone recommend this or one of the other Boss loopers. Would this be more capable than the others with an added foot switch?
My doubt. Is the only difference between the keyboards with square buttons or standalone button machine (16 square buttons with rgb lights) and this loop station is that this has analog input & output + digital output? I am looking for percussion (western percussion as well as Indian) device for my friend and I found 3 devices. 1. Small and big Keyboard that has square buttons, drums & keyboard tones played on those button & it repeats itself. 2. A box with 16 small square buttons with rgb lights. 3. Now this loop station (on another video). A drummer played drums for 8 beats/count and the sound repeated itself, then he switched to another instrument and that repeated itself. Which one be good for the beginner?
C'est quoi la musique de fond? Trop chill j'adore 😍 Ça me rassure ce que tu dis vers la fin, j'ai toujours pensé qu'il fallait une expérience de fou en beatbox et en musique pour pouvoir l'utiliser. En fait tu es parti de pas grand chose mais tu t'es super familiarisé avec la machine et tout les effets qu'elle propose et au final ça a quand même donné le meilleur looper en trap! Incroyable pourtant on dirait que t'as fait ça toute ta vie de rapper! Super cette vidéo!👌 100% TRUE LOOP STAR 🎤💫
I love this video Brez, and I really want to buy a loopstation tbh, but I just don't know if I buy this online which website is better for me to buy it cheaper?
Are there any basic tutorials out there on how to use it? I’ve been watching loopstation videos and id love to have one but have never beatboxed and wouldn’t know where to start
Brez can you please help me!!!! When you record your beat in this video on the first track, you just record 1 bassdrum and 1 snare. But on the track it is automatically copied a second time before the red lights are full. So this first track obviously goes 1 measure but you record just a half measure and it's copying the second half automatically to the recording. I can't reproduce this on my loopstation . If I set the measure auto -> it records just 1 bassdrum and 1 snare. If I set the measure to 1, it records after the bass and the snare only silence. It doesn't fill the measure with another bass and snare.
@@BreZBeatbox just gonna try it. Hope the gain is a little bit better then the sm58. Quality wise i see alot of positive reactions. Thanks for your feedback bro! You are very helpfull to everyone. Much love from the netherlands👌👌
I guess... I will buy a loopstation now
Yeah exactly
Only scratches the surface of what it does and can do. Brez your covers are inspiring. Thank you
If you are at all interested in this sort of thing, it is a definite "YES!". Get this loopstation. So many possibilities. Brez does a good job of its introduction. Worth every penny.
Watching this video with my rc 505 on my side, i bought it several months ago because of you and your tutorials! Thanks!
Am I the only one who cries out of frustration of not being able to learn new equipment? Much respect to those who get it.
Yes im so much like you lmao
this is like one of the easiest things to learn...
You could try the basic pedal and go from there, the basic pedal just has one loop, and people make decent music just with that.

I've been debating on buying this and I'm happy to say I just ordered it today. Can't wait to have some fun with it, thanks for the info BreZ.
how was your experience? do you like it?
Have been looking to buy one. Did you get it? What is your opinion on the device?
I wish you did this 1 month earlier. I bought mine but it wasnt like i expected. But thanks god of loopstation ❤️💞
Why it wasn't like you expected?
@@manuelkato1903 Its not that easy to loop like the proffesional loopers. They are looping for like 10 years. I wish i relise it earlier
@@sumenetamusic8445 understandable that your not happy then
But they all started small, so I guess with a lot of learning you still can do it :)

This is exactly what I need to know. Thanks for helping us out and answering all the questions in the comments, you're a real one.
I just bought one this week and I will be using it mainly for practice sessions at home. Working on impro and many stuffs
If I’m playing video games and I want to use a mic, could I use a mic connected to the loopstation which is connected to the computer?
It's possible yes !
Yes, I do that
You want an interface. They’ll be cheaper

Solid review. Love how you brought it home at the end (if you're still watching you already really want one... :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Dude BreZ is like Hip Hop in person
Love your vids and songs
Great review, love making videos doing improv with it - you never know where it will take you

I have some dout which one is best boss rc 505 or rc 505 mk 2

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the RC 505 👍
I might get one in the future, it takes a lot of practice to make loops but practice makes perfect.
cool review..This machine has been out for years...still going strong...
Thanx for the review. I used to make turntablism music on RC-50 but this looper is way beyond that😬
Thanks for breaking this down! Im blind and thjs made my life way easier!

I really appreciate, you tell us. I wish to get the Rc 505. Soon as possible.
Compared to other Boss products, I’m surprised this RC 505 is fragile whereas my Boss RC-50, it is built like a tank.
Is it possible to connect the microphone on any other way (like the headphone jack) or am I going to have to get an XLR cable
No unfortunately not I think
You can connect it in big jack into Instru Input / Mono. You need a XLR to Jack cable though
@@BreZBeatbox ok thanks it's just that my mic is a jack and I don't have an XLR cable
awesome like always .. keep it up. by the way can we sync the loopstation with more than 1 device or it has limits
You can but you must sync the 3rd device in the 2nd device ^^
Informative. Thanks BREZ
