I love your breakdown method! I learn something from every video. I like also how you jump right into the subject matter with your youtubes - no senseless babble, all good content.
This is probably my favorite McVideo of all time!!! Love the song, love the breakdown/tutorial, love the energy! The film 127 Hours is one of my favorites because of this song in the soundtrack!!!!
Aww man! Thank you friend. That means a lot coming from you. I think I get a little better with my production each time. It’s taken a long time but I’m happy with my results as long as Im improving. Working on more this week!
This is fricken awesome! I'm definitely getting mad ideas watching you perform with the looper. Also that was a great cover! Not usually my style, but your voice makes it so chill to listen to.
Wow! Killed it! I was just here for tech tips on my new pedal and about to click another video when you started the song. But that performance was top notch! Great arrangement and all around musicianship. You've clearly put a lot of thought into everything you're doing. Even little things like scatting motives from the horn parts brought me a big smile. I'm gonna listen a few more times while I make lunch, lol.
It's such a simple and amazing tune! That's what i love about Bill Withers. I saw a great movie about his life a while back. Such an amazing approach to his art. I love it
Watching you do looping is so fun and helpful . I just got a looper today and have been playing with it so much. I’m a drummer and steel drum player, correct term is steel pan, and I wish I could beatbox as well as you.
@@EmilyMcVicker My main instrument is steel pan and I play to backing tracks that I’ve made using midi files I downloaded with my virtual libraries, tracks I’ve made in Band in a Box, highly recommended it for creating songs fast with real instruments in the songs or I download karaoke tracks. My only experience with “looping” is using Ableton Live thus, I’m new to live looping.
I’ve been messing around with my Headrush Looperboard that came in a few days ago and I like it. I use it in free mode which doesn’t quantize the loops I make. I’ve been off beat so far when recording loop so when I play them back, they’ll be cutoff to early. I also need to figure out how to stop it from recording the click track. P.S. I see you using a shaker and tambourine somethings and recommended getting a Meinl aluminum jingle shaker.
Gosh, I used to perform 'Lovely Day' in my set almost twenty years ago....but with a backing track I'd made myself. Funny you should mention the Roland VR-09. I bought one a few years back, mainly because it was super light and could take batteries. I was going to take it busking, but taking a keyboard busking (as opposed to a guitar) has its own problems. Anyhow, I sold it, along with most of my other keyboards and now have just one, the mighty AKAI MPC Key 61. It is the best piece of music tech I have ever owned (and I've owned a lot over the past forty years). It now is my go to' piece for all pop / rock recording. It won't do orchestral simulations of which I still need my mega PC, NI libraries and Komplete Kontrol S88MKII, but for everything else, the Key 61 and a Tascam Model 24 mixer can achieve things my £20K studio couldn't do. I love technology for that. Your 'Lovely Day' has a very laid back approach. I think the only thing I really missed was a picked, funky guitar part, which could just be the tonic as it would fit in with all the chords and would repeat really well. I also think an electric piano which sparkles (tinkles) a bit more more than the sound you had might be better, but I'm nit-picking. As always, your super vocal performance makes everything shine irrespective of what I've just written.
Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to explain how you make such awesome loops. In addition to your natural talents it makes for a lovely combo. Great work!
Great stuff mate. I enjoy your processes in building your songs. It helps me understand looping and how to build the song. Also, knowing what parts to record on which pedals. As a beginner, this is what I'm learning. Every song is different and so every set up structure will be different. THANKS
totally! I do my best to keep it as simple as i can so i don't have to think when i'm playing. So i hope my methods are easy enough to follow along. I think you'll find some similarities with all my arrangements
Super amazing video… you really should be a product specialist for Roland… you’re selling their keys AND loopers🧐Your talent truly amazes. Loveandpeace.
Thank you for all of your vids about the rc600 .very much needed by noobs like me. Love the way you loop, so seamless, and the fact you’re a great player/vocalist. How do you eq your beatbox mic to pick up such a great bottom end without cupping it? Cheers in advance
Emily, this is very nice. I have a question. How do you have button 5 (track 3) configured in this? I see you're going directly from recording vocal 1 on track 3 to overdubbing vocal 2 , also on track 3, with a single button press. I have my record buttons configured as TRK1-6 REC/PLAY4 . I'm looking at the parameter guide now....
If you got to into the ‘loop’ button and then *i think* ‘rec’, the default is rec>play>dub but I switch mine to be rec>dub>play. Hope that helps! Is that what you were asking asking?
@@EmilyMcVicker Yes, that's what I was asking. I had been looking at the ctl functions, I didn't think to go into loop/rec as you suggest. So it's an easy fix, although it changes the behavior for the entire track. I'll have to see if it works with my workflow. Thank you so much!!
Do you exclusively use the Boss RC-600? I was considering buying this device but I wasn’t sure if there’s anything it can’t do as well as other options. I just want to make sure if I invest in a looper that I’m getting the best product for the money 😊
It is definitely my main one these days. I like being able to operate with my feet so I can play instruments with my hands. And I think this is the best floor looper at this time. But looping is very specific to the performer. I also have a 505mk2 that I demo a little on here, but there are less types of gigs that would make me bring that one over the 600. I should make a video about it
You definitely should Lean On Me. The song is so perfect for live loop. You just need to know the when you sing the bridge “You can call on my brother” the melody doesn’t match the rhythm. I think the melody is a beat ahead.
I love how quickly you get the loops up! Something for me to aspire to. Does the RC 600 have an auto record function like it knows to arm track 2 after you close track 1 or are you just tapping that fast? P.S. Withers also did "Just the two of us" which is another fun one to loop that people love. I want to learn the rap from Dr Evil (Austin Powers) and throw it there one of these days. 😂
Oh yes! I want to learn that one! With the recording, it will stop recording on one track when you start recording on the next track. So if you can mentally prepare for what’s next, it’s a good trick 👍
@@EmilyMcVicker Ahhh I see. I have a different looper but what is that function called on yours? I knew that the Boss had a function like that. I was trying to find ask around a while on forums and find out if my Headrush Looperboard has a similar feature but I felt like I was speaking a different language that no one understood 😂
*another* Bill Wither’s song that would make a great looping song is ‘Ain’t No Sunshine.’ Same repeating progression, just have to disable it and keep the percussion going on the bridge.
Emily, Merry Christmas. Can't comment in your stream since Murdie banned me for saying I liked your snow white outfit. No cuss words or sexual innuendos, I just stated that I liked your outfit. One of the worst jobs moderating I've seen. Have a safe holiday.
Hey Schlitz. thanks! and sorry to hear that. Sounds like it might have been an accident. Sometimes the show goes fast on Twitch and the mods are doing their best and they do stuff I can't do while i'm playing. But if it was a misunderstanding, nor worries. would you like me to unban you?
Hi Emily. Very nice Lovely day rendition ! I was wondering if your VR 09 has an arpeggiator. I want to get one, but I need to make sure it does that. Thanks !
I’ve never used an arpeggiate her. Is it a standard thing for keyboards? It has some effects. I can sift through them next time I am sifting through patches 👍👍👍
@@EmilyMcVicker Hi Emily. Thanks for calling back. I forgot l was on the internet and could find things out. It does not have an arpeggiator, which is very good to have for trance type music. I was really bummed, cuz your keyboard is SO much better in every other way than then one I can afford in that price range - especially the sounds. Thats what I hate about instrument companies.... they always give you this - but not that. That - but not this, etc.
I love me some Bill Withers. I also love how fast you built the song. I need to be better at building my loops fast.
Thanks friend, that is a real compliment! I also love bill withers so much. Keep in touch 🤘😆
I love your breakdown method! I learn something from every video. I like also how you jump right into the subject matter with your youtubes - no senseless babble, all good content.
aww that's awesome Mark! Thanks for that feedback :) I learn a little more how to improv with each video! What song should i do next?

sounds like a lovely scene! Glad you could jam along :)

Thanks you, you sweet sweetie!!
awsome Emily
Thanks Westsider!! 😁😁😁
Very nice! 👏🏻
Awesome 👌
🥰🥰🥰
Your channel is amazing! Thanks for sharing all this information. Have you ever build a loop for Big Yellow Taxi ?
Such a great idea! Used to do big Yellow Taxi all the time but it’s been a minute. Make for a simple and awesome arrangement!

Love your vids Emily . I saw you in the chat of a Matt Bolton live stream... thought I’d come and take a good look. Awesome stuff ....new sub
Aww! I remember that! Thanks for saying hello :) I am interested in streaming on TH-cam. Fun to catch Matt online!
@@EmilyMcVickerhi again! Back for another look.. wondering if you were still getting close to doing some live streaming? 😃👍🏻
Perfeito!
Thank you friend!
Have a lovely day!
You too friend! Thanks for watching :)
I love it ❤😊
Woo!!! Thanks friend!
Hey! Thanks for this vid! for the beatbox you set the tap tempo before recording or the looper
do it automatically? Thanks !
The looper does it automatically after you lay down the very first loop. It calibrates to ur tempo
The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. did a remake/remix in the early 90's my Favorite version. ok yours is climbing up my list :)
Aww mike!!! You’re sweet :) what is the SOUL SYSTEM?
A 90s group. Technically s.o.u.l. s.y.s.t.e.m. it's on TH-cam. The best mix imo is the movin the crowd mix

Great Job :)
Thanks Marcus!!
lol your face gave away the mistake and I'm bad at that too. I've been told to poker face those mistakes out as not many people will notice them

Wish you could do a song a day
Then I will have a lovely day.Well done well taught as well.
