I create a looper file very rarely and always forget how to do this and have a frustrating time re_learning it. However I followed you post exactly today and still got the UF error message. Then I remembered how to fix it. Here goes, ..................;process the audio exactly as shown above and save it as a .wav file - let's call it 'looper1'. Then create a new Audacity project. Import the audio 'looper' into the new Audacity file. In 'tracks' create a new stero track. The audio you brought in is shown in a mono track. Copy that audio and paste it into the stereo track. Now highlight the stereo audio and save it as described in the video above -say you save it as 'Looper 2''' Audacity will mix it down to a mono file of course but the resulting mono ;wav will have twice as much data as 'looper1' and will now transfer to your Boss pedal without a problem. Go figure!
Thanks Mike, I had not considered the case where you start with a mono wave file, very strange that you need this additional step if you do but thanks for the info.
Hey! thanks for this amazing video, helped me a lot. I just have one question, it is possible to match the tempo of the imported track with the internal rythm of the RC-30? I can't figure this one out, because when you import the audio, and try to change the tempo, it will change also the speed of the audio file. Any thoughts on how to do it? Thanks
The whole tempo thing is a bit of problem I find..I have a beat buddy and I want to synch them, but as I recall you cant set the.tempo to a specific BPM I end up having to tap as accurately as I can, which is great for improving your timing but not so good for keeping the loop in time with the drum machine. What I do as a work around is to record a sample, sometimes an empty one of the duration of a the number of bars I want at the BPM I want. Then when I set the looper to loop thet file it sets the machine to the bpm, or at least a multiple, of the BPM I want - but if I then change the tempo by tapping I loose the exact tempo setting. I don't know if any of that will help
I have to stop myself from trolling as this is a free site.My son says that 60 plus days of lock down has stolen my chill and made me like Archie Bunker. hahahaha So thank for the help but.... Would you mind showing how to use the boss studio? I will only ask that you help my add and not mention what not to do,just what to do. I had to rewind the vid when you got into 16 bit vs the others. The extra info freaked me out. Like when you ask you lady where she wants to eat and she runs down the list of places she will never go again. You get lost. at least I do. She says my eyes gloss over as I try to listen for the answer. At 60 Iam trying something new during this quarantine . I was told I can input backing track that I make and then sing along to them live. Do I stereo track one or mono stereo track one for the left and mono track 2 for the Right?
Hi, I will make a video about this, but what you are trying to do may be quite simple. You need to have the Boss Tone Studio, the software that comes with the looper installed on your PC (I am assuming you are using a PC). Turn on your looper (remembering you will still need an audio jack plugged in to the looper to turn it on) and then connect it to the PC by a USB cable, the looper screen should then display "Cn" (If you put the cable in before turning on the looper it will not connect). In Boss Tone Studio you should now have the option of importing a file. Click that button (on the top of the program and you will get a menu to select your file. Once you have selected it, it will ask you to pick a memory slot and track to save it on. If you are just wanting to use a backing track, put it in channel 1. The two channels have nothing to do with stereo, they are so that you can switch between two recordings when using the looper (say if you record a loop of the verse on track one and the chorus on track two). You will need your backing track to be a sterio wave file, and if it is it may well work without you having to do any editing at all. If it does not work, then you have to do the editing I made the original video about. To use your backing track, disconnect from USB (first using the disconnect button in Boss Tone Studio, then when the looper is running normally use the up and down arrow buttons on the looper to select the memory slot you imported to, make sure you have track one selected using the select buttons, set the volume you want fort track one using the slider, and hit play. I hope this helps, will make a video about it in a couple of days.

This absolutely worked for me.
I couldn't detect any quality loss.
I almost believe I could fool the engineers with this.
Thanks Michael. This saved me a lot of head-scratching!
Life saver. Thanks very much.

Thanks for the tips.. Btw you sound just like Bill Gates!
thanks!! it could have been better if you go directly to the point!
