Emily you are quite a talent! I enjoyed watching you construct this loop and the “on the fly” song performance. This isn’t easy, and you made it look effortless. Good job!
Hey Em, I’ve never heard this song, so I searched UA-cam looking for the original. After listening to it, I actually like your version better, it sounds cleaner with all the harmony parts. You sing, produce, arrange and play all the parts. I feel like I am watching the female version of Prince, only much easier on the eyes. You’re a gifted and talented musician, love ❤️ your music! Thanks for sharing it!
I gotta admit, that was incredible to see come to life. And you have such an energetic smile and aura. Great talent and such technical coordination to pull all of that together and yet still be able to make a video. 🙌🏻
@@EmilyMcVicker Thanks for the vid emily.I have the 1st 505 rc looper ,i have a slight problem with my 4th and 5th looper pad as they are both linked sound wise so when you turn either the 4 or 5th fader it turns both track s up at once .Is there a way to get the tracks back like the rest of them?
Perfectly sung to the beat and the vocal dynamics are awesome. I am getting inspired to do looping by watching your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.
Completely new to loop stations. Have just bought this model for my young boy. Would love for you to do some tutorials starting with basics. Having trouble finding videos that are helpful for complete newbies. You have a beautiful voice btw! Finding watching you build up tracks in all your videos fascinating !
Thank you that is sweet of you to say! That’s a great idea. Lemme think of how I will show this. What kind of music does your son want to do with it? Does he play instruments?
He is only 7 🙂 he has perfect pitch. Can harmonise with himself, plays piano (improvises) and drums. Great sense of rhythm. He opened his gift today and loves it. . We bought him a mic. Need now to work out how to connect his keyboard to the rc505 mk2.
Yes we re having the same issue with connecting the RC505 to MainStage so a MIDI keyboard works, I know it’s in vendor mode and to set up a aggregate in MIDI, but it’s how to set the settings in MainStage, been going round and round, can’t get it to work .. by the way we love your channel, my wife has been doing royals after being inspired by you .. she too is loving what Santa brought her @@VictoriaMacklin
Thank you! I just got my mk2 and am learning how to use it for my Twitch streams. I have SO MUCH to learn, but you gave lots of great tips plus your voice is gorgeous. Nicely done!
Much appreciated! It’s a great machine! I have a lot more experience using the floor Looper, but it is fun to experiment with what the 505 gives better access to - like the effects!
This was awesome! Looking into the RC-505 to get into instrumental looping and such, and this was a great video demonstrating what a powerful tool this can be.
You Are a True Musical Badass, I have been speculating for a long time on buying this unit, i have watched dovydos alot and others that use it and the first few videos i watched of you were just great. You make it seem easy and your natural talent is off the charts. I have been a musician for 30 years and i rather do originals than anything because around here bands are just a (well another band) and I really enjoy recording alone but this seems so much easier than using all the stuff im using just to make samples or full songs. I have tried other loopers before and they just dont seem to do what i want or they dont sync well. I would love to setup out back and perform alone for some outdoor pool parties we have and thank you for your videos, i have subscribed and will continue watching so keep doing you because you are a badass!!!!
Holy smokes! This is such a sweet comment. Thank you for writing it! Glad to have you part of the team on here :-) keep in touch if there’s anything you’d like to see in particular!
Emily, this was Amazing. You are so talented and you always make me Smile! You always look like you are having so much fun in your videos too. You have such a magnetic personality. Cheers
@@EmilyMcVicker Hello, the function is awesome. For example, you can record four drum tracks and then bounce them together to the fifth track. The function is very hidden, I put bounce on/off on one of the knobs under the display so I can quickly activate and deactivate die. If bounce is activated on the fifth track, it works great. The four tracks can now be deleted and played again. That offers so many more possibilities. Also with singing or instruments. Here is a sample by BreZ he bounces tracks 2-5 at 0:30 onto the first track. ua-cam.com/video/-h9BTriqQd8/v-deo.html
Beautiful job and great voice! A question: if you wanted, would you be able to.introduce harmony on lead voice instead of that reverb in the chorus of the song, or wasnt possibile wirh the loopstation?
There is a harmony Fx in there you could play with. Personally i don’t love digital harmony. The voicings dont work in every scenario and I personally prefer recording them myself. But some folks like them. So give it a try!
cool vid, I've also ordered a rc 505 these days... let's see :) BTW: the "weird auto-tune effect" is a comb filter, since you are using two mics, too close to each other, with a slightly different latency...
i stick with it... it's a comb filter, and some frequencies get deleted or exaggerated... this leads to this uncontrollable flutter... but who cares.. great stuff, you are doing! :)
Thank you sooo much!! 😊😊🙏🙏 That will be great video!! I spent so much time trying find the best speaker to get for it? 🙈😅What I’m looking for is small speakers for home use which are portable too😃😃🙌🙌
This might be a random question but I recently bought a Boss rc 505 MK2 and I completely underestimated music technology. How do I connect it to loud speakers? What are the components/cables needed. I would be very grateful for some answers🙏
You'll want a couple of 1/4" cables. just like the cables you'd use to plug in your guitar. you'll see on the back theres a left and a right one and that is so you can have stereo sound. You'll only really hear the stereo if you've panned anything or using something like tremolo effect. You can do it with one too, it will just be a mono signal. If you have speakers that you gig with, those should have 1/4" inputs in the back, and if not, you could buy an adapter and make it a smaller aux (1/8") jack for now to get you up and running. hope that helps!
Oh amazing! What part is the most helpful? I’m trying to brainstorm some more videos with the 505 that might be useful to folks. If you have any questions or ideas, lemme know!
@@EmilyMcVicker Wicked! I really loved how you mapped out, prior to the performance, what your structure was going to be for each track. I’ve been researching loop pedals and stations for exactly one day so I have very limited knowledge, but you solidified for me that this is the station I want. I’d love to know everything haha but I do have a few specific questions/requests. 1. I’m familiar with the 505’s ability to quantise, keeping bars/measures tight, which I love. Is it able to quantise notes/beats how recording software can? Like if I was beatboxing but got one beat slightly off, could it automatically fix that for the playback? 2. Could you please record a performance with split camera so I can both see what you’re doing with your instruments as well as a first-person view of the loop station? I’d love to analyse the buttons you’re pressing, levers you’re turning etc. in real time. I did see your “Killing Me Softly” video just now - incredible - which was great with the little circles around the buttons when you pressed them. Bird’s eye view would be helpful too, I think. 3. If I’m sending my mic through a vocoder (or any other effect machine), how does that work in connecting it to the 505? Do I plug the mic into the 505 first then send the output through the vocoder or the other way around? Thanks so much for inspiring me to buy this product and get practicing! I can’t wait to try it out!
Veldig bra, Emily! :-) You and that RC 505 machine make a very good team... Your voice and rhythm are incredibly good... I love it! -Thank you for everything you give us. Take care!
Thanks Hroar! Ya I like it for certain circumstances but I think I’m still more comfortable using the floor one in general. Even tho I can’t access all the tricks from the floor. But I like both!
This was awesome to watch! I am an audio technology student in college rn and I am looking to start making my own loops and eventually videos! I loved how this was both educational and entertaining, I have been saving up for the Boss 505 and maybe for christmas I will get some extra help 😎 cheers!
Always great when I can catch your twitch streams, thanks for this great breakdown on your use of the 505. I want to start looping amongst my diff instruments (guitar, bass, trumpet, tin whistle), so was looking at both the 505 and 600.
@@EmilyMcVicker I am leaning towards the RC600 right now to go with all my other guitar pedals. I could always add a midi controller if I want some desktop controls.
Hey Emily, thank you a lot for this video. Your voice is amazing !!! I have a question about the boss RC-505, did you record directly with the looper ? If yes, how do you do ? Thank you a lot
Hey! Thanks for the question. In my home set up, I have it so my mic and instruments can be mixed and EQed with my computer DAW, and sent back into the looper. Is that what you’re asking? For a regular gig tho, I plug directly into the looper 👍
I like the floating circles, great job with the visuals, ha! I love the RC-505 for its simplicity, i hope i ll make more music with Ableton when i finished emulating the 505 workflow there!
excellent love your performance ;) Now I finally decided to get one.. ;)...I was wondering if it has the possibility to organise some presets for something like 15 songs ? Like that on stage you dont have to do the settings for every song each time...
Greetings from NZ. Awesome arrangement and singing Emily! Love it and love your enthusiasm and hi energy. I’ve been sceptical about the Mark 2. But this is cool!! You make it very tempting. ❤
Hey Ramon! You’re too kind 🥰 I’ve heard conflicting reviews. But I think they are starting to iron out the firmware to be usable for everyone. If you get it, okay with it a lot so you know if it’s the right fit for you!
So grateful that you are making these! Could you please share the instructions for getting the start of the loop record to sync with the existing tracks? I'm going crazy trying to figure it out. (E.g. how you press record for the 4th track before playing the keyboard part and it blinks until the measure starts)
Amazing, loved it!! I’m attempting to get a Hall effect but failing, I use the echo setting but the end of it sounds really flat do you know how I would fix this? Thanks x
Hmm I would try combining with another Fx together. Is Hall effect kind of like echo too? And you can tweak a little and save whatever you create in the effect options
Hi Emily! just fantastic performance and loops! Very impressive and so talented and beautiful as well. So, you listed all of your gear but didn't include the type and brand of in-ears you have. Would you mind sharing that information? Thank you and keep on rocking! Charlie...
Hi from Germany. How do you record this stuff? Is it recorded in the 505 and you get a finished audiofile out there? Or is it still a live recording with USB to Audacity or something? Great job by the way!
@@EmilyMcVicker ahh okay... 😁 so there is an apple macbook at the end... that makes a live copy of all the music on an application called mainstage... and then there is your audiofile in mainstage... i think i understood... 🙈 thank you... just one more stupid question... would it be possible to record the whole music only at the 505 without a macbook? 🙈
The RC 505 mark 2 had a lot of problem and bugs. Has it being fixed. Is it working right now, everything? someone also told me that when you out the looper not in auto but on free every track, it does not sync right when play back
Hey Emily! First things first: You're doing a great job with the looping and your other performances! You inspire me as a musician! I got a little question here. I am also using the RC-505 and i am experimenting with the inputs. For example: if i disable microphone 2 or any other input on a track, it wont loop any input effects of the other inputs on that track. i mean it like: if i disable microphone 2 on all tracks of my input - because i dont want it to be looped (only live singing on mic 2). I can not loop my voice from microphone 1 with reverb or other fx. I hope i made it clear enough. Are you aware of this? Is it a bug or a feature?^^ i would be glad if you had some workaround.
@@EmilyMcVicker it’s a great bit of kit. Was tempted… I bought a RC-500 recently but not sure I’ll keep it. Got good results with LoopyHD on the iPad - good budget alternative to the 505! I play guitar so feet over hands!
Thanks for your tutorials... I had planned to buy the mk 2 last year... but it got some pretty bad reviews from many who used it ...a lot of bugs etc? However, it seems that a lot of bugs have been fixed with the new update... Has your machine got the new update? or have you experienced any bugs? I like your vibe... very inspiring!!!🙏🏼 I enjoy watching your performances...thank you. Hope to see more ...from you. one love... one heart ... one mother earth 🌍❤️ from Spain with love. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏼.
Oh yes! The firmware was a whole drama. I haven’t heard the bad reviews for a while. Everyone’s used case is so different, I think it took a while to make everyone happy. But maybe they’re getting there…
Ha! Those are exactly my thoughts! I don’t need it. But I’m curious. I just made an ed Sheeran breakdown that comes out tomorrow. I hope he might like to send me one.
Oh hell no. You just shuffle through the drumbeats mid song. That is, if you’re using the built in ones. I don’t personally use them because I like building my own beats. If you wanna see how I transition between songs, i do a live stream on twitch that might demonstrate that
@@EmilyMcVicker the beatboxing is still bad lol. But overall it’s going well. Im not a gig artist (yet) but I am enjoying learning more and I’ve even incorporated my RC 202 into the fold. So I’ve gone Loop crazy you could say 😝
really great and good Roland's Boss RC-505² seriously playin'... I think that machine is very good, but I think you are more better to handle it and creating that soul feeling sound. best regards, Frank Liebe
Es hat wirklich großes Potential. Noch nicht ganz perfekt. Es fehlt eine zweite Stimme. Bleib dran. Die zweite Stimme bleibt im Hintergrund und es wird voller und warmherziger. Bitte bleib dran. Herzlichst Susanne Pürschel
Hey Emily!!! I found your channel on my interest to buy a new looping station and would love your feedback on up till now, do you find more intuitive and easy to use while live the rc 505 mk2 or the rc 600 considering its virtually the same thing from the inside? My shows are also me overdubbing voice, guitar and some minor percussion and acommpaniment instruments.
Hey! Great question. I have been meaning to make a video about this. The 505 is great. If you play a lot of guitar, I recommend the 600, or having a foot switch add on for the 505. Musically, it is common where you want everything to come in at once where you want the loops to start and play guitar at the same time and I have found it much trickier with the 505. There are things I like about the 505 more than the 600, but my hands are usually way too busy to loop and play. Is that helpful?
It definitely is! Thanks a bunch! Was loving the idea of having everything only a botton away like in the 505, but would not mind to sit down some time to set the 600 instead. Was concerned since in some of my songs, there was really a very slim chance to miss time in the 505. Now that i know that every botton is programable in the 600 too, you can create more memories for different songs, and seeing your settups im pretty confident i can make it work for me!!! Thanks again for your time!!! Love your videos and ideas! Keep rockin'!!!!
Emily you are quite a talent! I enjoyed watching you construct this loop and the “on the fly” song performance. This isn’t easy, and you made it look effortless. Good job!

excellent love your performance ;) Now I finally decided to get one.. ;)...I was wondering if it has the possibility to organise some presets for something like 15 songs ? Like that on stage you dont have to do the settings for every song each time...
Ya it has 100 tracks you can have saved stuff on. 👍
And like 15 hours of memory or something like that
Thank you for these videos!
So glad you like! I’m thinking of what song I want to do next :)
You are incredible!!! I dig!!! Thanks!
You are! Cheers my friend 🥰
Totally amazing ❤
Thanks Derek!
Greetings from NZ. Awesome arrangement and singing Emily! Love it and love your enthusiasm and hi energy. I’ve been sceptical about the Mark 2. But this is cool!! You make it very tempting. ❤
Hey Ramon! You’re too kind 🥰 I’ve heard conflicting reviews. But I think they are starting to iron out the firmware to be usable for everyone. If you get it, okay with it a lot so you know if it’s the right fit for you!
Great video! 😁 Thanks Emily
Oh nice! Glad you dig this one Paul!
Very cool review of RC505. Enjoyed 100% more then review from loopop ❤😂
You are very kind!! I hope they will call me for the next one then! 😉
Wow, ta façon de jouer ta musique est magnifique! Bravo ma belle!🥰
Thank you friend! 🥰🥰🥰
So grateful that you are making these! Could you please share the instructions for getting the start of the loop record to sync with the existing tracks? I'm going crazy trying to figure it out. (E.g. how you press record for the 4th track before playing the keyboard part and it blinks until the measure starts)
Ah yes!!! This is a great question! Thank for asking. I can definitely show 🤘😆
@@EmilyMcVicker Thank you! Looking forward to it 🙏
Thanks for the education and inspiration!
Aww sean! My pleasure u sweet thang 😜
Amazing help, thanks a lot
Oh good! Glad you enjoyed friend!
Amazing, loved it!! I’m attempting to get a Hall effect but failing, I use the echo setting but the end of it sounds really flat do you know how I would fix this? Thanks x
Hmm I would try combining with another Fx together. Is Hall effect kind of like echo too? And you can tweak a little and save whatever you create in the effect options
Awesome! Great video!
Aww thanks friend! Trying to decide what song to do next
@@EmilyMcVicker I just got my RC-505 the other day after seeing your video. Please keep them coming!
Hi Emily! just fantastic performance and loops! Very impressive and so talented and beautiful as well. So, you listed all of your gear but didn't include the type and brand of in-ears you have. Would you mind sharing that information? Thank you and keep on rocking! Charlie...
Absolutely! They are shure 425s 👍 www.amazon.com/dp/B003NSBKSC/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_4PDG7DR2SVE1SJG01FYD?linkCode=ml2&tag=emcvstore-20
Hi!
Was track 3 set to trigger REC on first audio occurrence while the others were in an overdub mode?
Thx.
No, but if you hit the button before it’s able to start on beat one, it will blink until beat 1
Hi from Germany. How do you record this stuff? Is it recorded in the 505 and you get a finished audiofile out there? Or is it still a live recording with USB to Audacity or something?
Great job by the way!
Hey! I send my sound to a DAW called MainStage. Currently editing an in depth look! And then I send that audio source to OBS for the video
@@EmilyMcVicker ahh okay... 😁
so there is an apple macbook at the end... that makes a live copy of all the music on an application called mainstage... and then there is your audiofile in mainstage... i think i understood... 🙈 thank you...
just one more stupid question... would it be possible to record the whole music only at the 505 without a macbook? 🙈
Amazing! I've had this looper for a while, wasn't ready to learn to use it... until now. Thank you for this video! I really like what you do.
Oh nice! Ya I started looping so I could perform a show by myself. It’s a very powerful machine!
Wow you are so talented in singing and it was a really good looping. I bought my RCR 505 MKll and I am gonna start lopping.
I watched this video three times, nice job 👍
oh amazing! i'm so stoked you like it so much!!!
Yo this is so inspiring… Your voice is amazing!!
Aw shucks! Thanks friend 🥰
The RC 505 mark 2 had a lot of problem and bugs. Has it being fixed. Is it working right now, everything? someone also told me that when you out the looper not in auto but on free every track, it does not sync right when play back
Works for me idk 🤷♀️
@@EmilyMcVicker ok
Hey Emily! First things first: You're doing a great job with the looping and your other performances! You inspire me as a musician!
I got a little question here. I am also using the RC-505 and i am experimenting with the inputs. For example: if i disable microphone 2 or any other input on a track, it wont loop any input effects of the other inputs on that track. i mean it like: if i disable microphone 2 on all tracks of my input - because i dont want it to be looped (only live singing on mic 2). I can not loop my voice from microphone 1 with reverb or other fx. I hope i made it clear enough.
Are you aware of this? Is it a bug or a feature?^^ i would be glad if you had some workaround.
hmmm i haven't experimented with this yet. sounds like a glitch. i hope Boss is listening! @bossinfoglobal
What a talent! Superb voice, love it!
🥰🥰🥰
Love it. Great vocals
Thanks friend! Using the Fx is a little new to me but I’m having fun!
@@EmilyMcVicker it’s a great bit of kit. Was tempted… I bought a RC-500 recently but not sure I’ll keep it. Got good results with LoopyHD on the iPad - good budget alternative to the 505! I play guitar so feet over hands!
¡Gracias!
De nada amigo! :)
Well done!
Thanks!!! 🙏💕🫶
Well done!
Thanks!
You bet!
Very inspiring video, thank you! 🎶
Aww thanks Thomas! Glad you liked!
Thanks for your tutorials...
I had planned to buy the mk 2 last year...
but it got some pretty bad reviews from many who used it ...a lot of bugs etc?
However, it seems that a lot of bugs have been fixed with the new update...
Has your machine got the new update? or have you experienced any bugs?
I like your vibe...
very inspiring!!!🙏🏼
I enjoy watching your performances...thank you.
Hope to see more ...from you.
one love...
one heart ...
one mother earth 🌍❤️
from Spain with love.
Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏼.
Oh yes! The firmware was a whole drama. I haven’t heard the bad reviews for a while. Everyone’s used case is so different, I think it took a while to make everyone happy. But maybe they’re getting there…
@@EmilyMcVicker thanks for your reply...
one love,❤️🌎
Wow! Amazing!!!
Thank you! Cheers! 🤘😜
Amazing! While you don't need it, any thoughts on buying the new Ed Sheeran X-Looper?
Ha! Those are exactly my thoughts! I don’t need it. But I’m curious. I just made an ed Sheeran breakdown that comes out tomorrow. I hope he might like to send me one.
Can't wait to see your video tomorrow and how you make the magic work!@@EmilyMcVicker
Incredible
Thank you friend!
Hello,
How do you change a drumbeat to another drumbeat while playing live show. Would you need to buy another looper for that process?
Oh hell no. You just shuffle through the drumbeats mid song. That is, if you’re using the built in ones. I don’t personally use them because I like building my own beats. If you wanna see how I transition between songs, i do a live stream on twitch that might demonstrate that
I've become quite fond of using the RC505 on all my instruments. My beatboxing sucks, which is why I got the thing, but hey I've adapted lol.
Oh interesting! Adapting can be the root of some real creativity and discovery! How it going now?
@@EmilyMcVicker the beatboxing is still bad lol. But overall it’s going well. Im not a gig artist (yet) but I am enjoying learning more and I’ve even incorporated my RC 202 into the fold. So I’ve gone Loop crazy you could say 😝
Really great educational video. By the way your beatbox is epic!
Oh snap thanks Oliver ☺️☺️☺️
really great and good Roland's Boss RC-505² seriously playin'... I think that machine is very good, but I think you are more better to handle it and creating that soul feeling sound. best regards, Frank Liebe
Aw thanks Frank! A looper is really a mirror to reflect and multiply our style. Takes a sec to get used to.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Happy to! 🥰
For the non-believers...turn your volume up up up and enjoy 4:50❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ "different kind of buzz" 😊😊❤❤ya
Ben y manque plus que moi pour l'arrangement pro 😂 je plaisante biensûr !! Bravo
👍
Really cool !
Thank you friend!
💖💖 Totally EPIC! Love it! has Boss hired you yet to do demo vids for them? They should! ❤❤
They sent me that looper for free! That was pretty cool!
@@EmilyMcVicker Yes.....very cool!
Es hat wirklich großes Potential. Noch nicht ganz perfekt. Es fehlt eine zweite Stimme. Bleib dran. Die zweite Stimme bleibt im Hintergrund und es wird voller und warmherziger. Bitte bleib dran. Herzlichst Susanne Pürschel
Oh interesting. Do you play this song? I would love to hear how you navigate the 2nd verse 👍
Best tutorial for the mk2 on UA-cam. The end.
Aww thanks man! Wow 🙏❤️🙏
Could anyone explain the purpose of each mic she has? Thanks! 😊
The black mic (sm7b) goes directly to my interface. The other one is the loop mic and goes into the looper with the other instruments 👍
Danke!
Thank you so much friend! I really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice work!
Thanks Philip !
Hey Emily!!! I found your channel on my interest to buy a new looping station and would love your feedback on up till now, do you find more intuitive and easy to use while live the rc 505 mk2 or the rc 600 considering its virtually the same thing from the inside? My shows are also me overdubbing voice, guitar and some minor percussion and acommpaniment instruments.
Hey! Great question. I have been meaning to make a video about this. The 505 is great. If you play a lot of guitar, I recommend the 600, or having a foot switch add on for the 505. Musically, it is common where you want everything to come in at once where you want the loops to start and play guitar at the same time and I have found it much trickier with the 505. There are things I like about the 505 more than the 600, but my hands are usually way too busy to loop and play.
Is that helpful?
It definitely is! Thanks a bunch! Was loving the idea of having everything only a botton away like in the 505, but would not mind to sit down some time to set the 600 instead. Was concerned since in some of my songs, there was really a very slim chance to miss time in the 505. Now that i know that every botton is programable in the 600 too, you can create more memories for different songs, and seeing your settups im pretty confident i can make it work for me!!! Thanks again for your time!!! Love your videos and ideas! Keep rockin'!!!!
So helpful thank you, u rock
You are so welcome!
Just like that eh?!! lol amazing, I'll not mention the knob riding part that would be childish of me 🤭🤭😉🫡
Yes! Haha don’t mention it 😉
