Nice, great sound!!
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 TH-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 :)
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

Pretty nice looping man !
Exceptional !
Nicely Played.
Damn you deserve 100 times more followers
Awesome man!
this goes so hard boss holy shit
I literally looked up “looping multiple instruments” and i could not be more pleased
Hehehe, good to hear man❤️
Legendary.
nice man respect
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…
dope set bruh
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 :)
Hey man, love your videos. My Boss RC-505 is being delivered tomorrow and watching you jam with yours has me so stoked for it. BTW I'm your 100th subscriber so congrats! haha
zberrb . Thanks! So cool that you ordered it, i bet you'll have a lot of fun :)
It feels good to create content that inspires people, thanks for subbing. Now lets go for 1000 haha
Super Smoothed

Wow Very good
Jamming! sounds like the same progression on "FLY AWAY" by Lenny Kravitz
Love the Klok Bier
Altijd liefde voor Klok :)
Bruhhhhh , get it 🔥🔥🔥
MUY CHIDO !
Just ordered this.
Ever trip on the cables? Bet you have 🤣
this is dope
fire!
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 know exactly which drum kit you used haha I love that one with crackle snare
Haha yeah i used that one so much👌🏼
Holy shit this is sick man!
Thanks a lot🙏🏼
Fire!
This is the set up I want 🤷♂️
Good shit bro
Do you ever do shows or down to jam sessions?
I WANT TO GET AWAAAAY
good vibes
Groovy...........
🔥🔥🔥
very good
new fkj, I SEE YOU
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 :)
hey man good video loved it , whats the equipment in the video would help me out alot
If you start to sing fly away lyrics it's perfect for it...
Dig it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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
Dope
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
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 :)
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 :)
Anyone has any tutorial on how to connect everything? How many cables needed?
Thanks for the demo!! Looks like it must quantize a bit. I think I noticed that you clicked out once when it had passed the loop point
Hey man thanks for watching.
No nothing is quantized. I just preset the loop lenghts and the right tempo so it stopped recording at the right times :)
Uevo Music Well thank you for responding that was helpful. My biggest concern would be getting the endpoints screwed up if both hands are working pretty busy. And I did notice that it has a function where you can go back one if you screw something up.
Always happy to help :)
Yeah so you can set each individual loop to a certain loop amount, and if you preset the metronome on the right tempo and make it count down 1 measure you can’t miss.
The other thing i now do is work with a footpedal.
@@uevo how do you preset the loop lengths like that? I can’t figure out what settings you’re using to do that
@@BrooklynSkateUSA In the edit section for each loops individually!
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 :)
Nice
nice bro! im searching for same
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
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
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 :)
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 :)
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!
how do you setup your RC-505 with garageband ? dont you need a audio interface like a focusrite for that ? i really want to buy a rc-505 myself but i got everything matched on my macbook with garageband, my drums, guitars and microphone but i would really like to know if i can setup the RC-505 in between the focusrite audio interface and my macbook?
Hey there, so the RC-505 is a stand alone machine. I've got my laptop running with Logic Pro with drum samples loaded in, sometimes i also used other midi instruments or guitars/microphones. My laptop is connected to my audio interface, and the interface goes to the looper.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions :)
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.
just wondering, i have live instruments + mac and midi keyboard, and im trying to set all this up with a Scarlett 2i4 audio interface instead of a mixer but im having trouble. Do I need a mixer in order to do this?
If you just want to play you don’t need a mixer. But if you want to record it i think you will need one. :)
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 :)
th-cam.com/video/6Fn_ysESi-I/w-d-xo.html
It's not the best, so if you have any questions feel free to ask!
What the name of the field recorder you are you using on the right of the loop station, how many tracks does it have, and does it get the job done in terms of sound quality and ease of use? Thank you
I haven’t used this field recorder in a while. Any field recorder with line in and wav recording format will do. It worked fine, but i prefer recording it directly in to my daw :)
Hi,
What kind of loop station would you recommended for live gigs, looping guitar and bass and maybe some recorded shakers to play on the piano over it? Im thinking how to avoid using my laptop etc.
Is Boss RC 30 or RC 50 enough to do that ?
Hey there,
Thats a difficult question. I mean, any loopstation will do. You just have to use a mixer to send all the different sounds to the looper.
I'm not sure how you're gonna play recorded shakers on the piano without a laptop or a sampler?
The Boss RC30 and RC500 will do the trick for you. But they are only foot controlled, and you have less channels to record on. You can also think about the Boss RC202, with this one you have a bit more FX possibilities and visual control.
The next step is the Boss RC300 and RC505, which have a lot more controls. The 300 is made to be foot controlled and the 505 by hand, but you can connect a food pedal to the 505.
So yeah it comes down to how much you want to spend, how much control you want, and if you want it foot or hand controlled :)
Rad but explain how you set your settings. Lots of new users don't have a clue to see the tracks to auto,versus free etc. Cool you can do it but nice to explain it.
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
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!
Hey, im struggling with my Boss RC505. I can't seem to get my guitar connected up to the input for some reason, I have installed all the drivers and had it working before but now there's no noise when I try. Any ideas?
Love your videos by the way
Hey there, did you plug your guitar straight in to the instruments input on the 505?
If you put your instrument gain up and have output volume then it should work, I've never had to install drivers or anything.
If this doesn't work then maybe a broken cable or something?
How do you trigger the first loop with the bass? i.e. how do you get it to start recording as soon as you start playing (not as soon as you press the loop)?
I used the countdown feature in the rhythm settings!
can you explain a little how you have this set up? are the instruments running through the mixer and then into the rc-505 and then into your daw?
Hey there,
I tried to do an explanation video a while ago, maybe it helps a bit :)
th-cam.com/video/6Fn_ysESi-I/w-d-xo.html
Basically I use the mic/guitar direct in to the looper. And I use the output of my audio interface to host any extra sounds and midi instruments :)
Hey man wondering what yourr using as audio interface. Can you plug instruments to the 505 and go direct into a daw?
Here im using a tascam 4x4. And yess thats what im doing indeed!
How do I setup that my rc505 does autorecord with sound and not by tabbing the pad help me pls :( great work!
The 505 does not have autorecord. I used the countdown function, so I had 4 clicks before it started recording :)
You can find this function in 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: th-cam.com/video/6Fn_ysESi-I/w-d-xo.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 :)
