Great tutorial - have any for the MK-2 ? Looking hard for some guidance/ tutorials on the “newer” model - - are there “ programs “ or camps or classes out there that can can give lessons one on one with this type of setup - Reinhold Burr is awesome but that is next level - I need some basics ! Thanks for your energy 🙏
Hello brother, excellent work and information, I have a question about RC 505 Loop station: I am connecting my guitar to one of the 2 input channels (INST 1) obviously it is being captured in mono but I would like to know how to do it in stereo, do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Great video. I’m a percussionist and have been thinking of getting a looper. All of the tutorials I’ve seen are tailored for singers and guitarist. One question: what type of mic are you using? Dynamic, condenser?
Thank you for the video! I have a question. It's difficult to stop a track and start a different one simultaneously and on beat. If I'm doing a verse into chorus let's say, is there a way to press stop on one track and play on another to "queue" up the trigger so I don't have to time it exactly? Thank you!!
I just got my MK2 today.. At the beginning of your video, you start recording percussion on loop #5 and then you add another percussion instrument to the same loop 5. My question is ,how many instruments can you add(record) to the same loop number ? You mentioned about overdoub or something like that
Great, exactly what I needed to know starting out :-) Thanks so much. Guess there is no way to eq the rhythm track onboard on the Mk II? I find most rhythms a bit edgy/trebly (I am using a DAW with all RC-505 tracks in to one Reaper track).
Hello man, how are you? So I would like to know how you recored with a good quality, because when I do one song after the song is not so good like yours. I think is because de microfone 🎤 or I don't know a good form to record. Can you send me a help please with that information? Tks o lot 🙏🙏🙏
Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while since this video was uploaded, but I have some questions that I hope someone here can help with. Here’s my dilemma: I’ve been looking at the TC Helicon Acoustic for its great automatic and interesting voice enhancement features, but it doesn’t have the looping capabilities I’m after. On the other hand, the Boss RC-505 that I am also looking into has amazing looping functions but doesn’t quite match the voice quality and features of the TC Acoustic. So, here are my questions: 1. Is there today in mid-2024 a single device that combines the looping features of the Boss RC-505 with the voice quality enhancements of the TC Acoustic? 2. Alternatively, is there a cost-effective way to add looping to the TC Acoustic? 3. Or, is there a budget-friendly device that can enhance the vocal quality of the Boss RC-505 to match the TC Acoustic’s capabilities without breaking a budget? I also looked at the TC Helicon VoiceLive 3 Extreme, but it doesn’t quite fit my needs since I don’t know how to play the electric guitar and there is something about its' build I did not like, feels like it is faking the sound of your voice, but I might be wrong... I prefer focusing on acoustic instruments and clean vocals. I mainly use my voice, I am an actor learning to sing, and old drummer... I will add in wooden flutes, harmonica, drums, djembes, and occasionally piano-guitars I cannot play... I’m hoping to find a setup that lets me loop effectively while keeping my voice sounding as smooth and natural as I can see people manage to do with the TC helicon Acusticl and adding in the flute and djembe at certain times in the loops. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any suggestions or creative ideas would be greatly appreciated! Best, Chris
Hello, Is that all looping was made only through the microphone? Or it is possible to make it separately through audio aux channels on boos looper? Thank you
With the RC-505 (1 and MK2) you can record and control 5 tracks. You can overdub any track (which happens on track 5 in Kalanis recording). Theoretically the number of overdubs is limited only by the memory space. But by overdubbing you can't control the volume or effects (or loop lengths) separately anymore. I normally record basic rhythm guitars or keyboard tracks on Track 1, bass on TR2, additional rhythm instruments (keys, guitar, banjo, mallets, congas, guiro, shaker or whatever) on TR3 - harmony vocals, pads, organ, sax or the whole brass section etc. on TR4 - and drums on TR5. You can record an acoustic drum set in stereo, so it's a good idea to use a mixing console in between and mix the different mics with all the pan settings there. I also use the mixers EQs, dynamics and gates for the best results. While recording the initial 5 tracks I either use the click from the RC-505 (as does Kalani) or any suitable drum rhythm from either the RC or drum machines synched by MIDI. If you're a solo live artist or a multi-instrumentalist, the RC-505 may be one of the coolest things you can get to have fun and amaze your audience with. 😀
Hey thanks for The video. What I was wondering if the 505 can actually change the tempo of the loop that you’ve recorded on the fly. So for example if I recorded a Cahoon and it’s looping but the vibe is too high paced and I want to slow it down can I slow it down on the fly and play a chilled guitar riff and then once that’s all looping change the tempo of all the loops playing on the fly?
One of few persons on youtube that actualy sounds and feels like a person and doesn't get on your nerve after 4 sec, Kudos!
Great coherent explanation of how the Measure operates against the 4/4 count....Thank you.
wow I wish I saw this video a year ago! good one
Im new to looping, im using the MK2 , and this was super helpful to get me started. Thank you!
I need this exact video, but for the mark two
Very cool, thanks for sharing 🙏
Excellent information and well-explained.
Thank you for this tutorial 🙏
Thanks for a clear video. Very helpful.
That downbeat trick is definitely useful.
Amazing video. So clear and well done. 🌴
Awesome, sir
Thank U for all U share Kalani 🙏🏽

This was so helpful!!! Also love the intro loop, makes me think of Kill Bill 😆
Great job!!
Can you loop in odd time signatures? If so, how?
Just thank you
Thanks a lot.
New looper here, thanks for the tips man!
Thank you!!
Nice 👍🏼🎸 thankyou 🎸🤘🏼
Awesome
Gracias Gracias Gracias mi hermano!

Not sure if you still need an answer for this but if you use a stereo lead then you can plug into the L and R input jacks!
@@Zaccimo Ok, I will thanks 👍

I'm interested in learning live looping. How to set up things so that there is not too much fiddling and tweaking?

Hi thank you for your great video. How is your "long reverb" configured please? Thanks
Omg, thanks for the tips with the mics and dynamics! omg - life changer!
Kalani eres el mejor! You're the best!
Great, exactly what I needed to know starting out :-) Thanks so much.
Guess there is no way to eq the rhythm track onboard on the Mk II? I find most rhythms a bit edgy/trebly (I am using a DAW with all RC-505 tracks in to one Reaper track).
Try recording just the rhythm to a separate track in Reaper then you can EQ that to what you're after.
THANKS
Thanks so much :)

Best,

shouldn't be possible with nowadays technology to change (trim) the length (bars measure) of an already digitally recorded audio sample?
Hello,
Is that all looping was made only through the microphone?
Or it is possible to make it separately through audio aux channels on boos looper?
Thank you
thx!
Nice! Can you record more than 4 tracks? Almost like pressing a next/prev button to move from channel 1-4 to channel 5-8 ?
With the RC-505 (1 and MK2) you can record and control 5 tracks. You can overdub any track (which happens on track 5 in Kalanis recording).

As far as I can see with my mk2 it's a yes
How do you get an imported or recorded loop track to loop smoothly?
I'll assume you want it to sync.
The imported loop must be the right length.
Hi!
Does anyone know how to set the length of a track in the mk2?
😅
Have you figured this out yet? i'm having the same issue :( I can set it up, but somehow it doesn't save...
💐💐💐
Longest loop ever😂😂😂🤌🏽
