Love your vocal timbre and control. Those transitions from straight to vibrato, growing the vibrato like you do is just very cool, and very nice to listen to.
You’re very kind 🥰 thank you
THIS video SOLD me. I've been using a Line 6 HX Effects for 6-button looping, reverb, bass octavizing for YEARS. I've far, far outgrown it. What really sold me is the vocal looping and the G2B which sounds way better than an octavizer. I've looped this song hundreds of times but never with a choir because I don't have the option, so I just use a TC Helicon Acoustic Play to give me some vocal harmonies when I'm not badly attempting the vocal run (LOL). The Play can do looping, but it's another menu dive to do that AND do harmonies, so I don't use it. I also make the drum loops using my guitar because I can't beatbox (LOL again). Since you asked, string rakes for hh/snare sounds in swing feel 8th notes ver 6/8, and gentle palm taps on the bridge of my Taylor 424ce Special Edition for kick, and I use an EV Evolve 50 so I have a dedicated sub to pump that kick sound. GREAT work, and thanks for posting! It's in my cart at Sweetwater.
Oh nice! Let me know what you think! You’re very sweet for writing me. I hope we can keep in touch :-)
This is perfectly timed; I'm literally trying to navigate a bass tone for my RC600 using a stripped-down version of my main kit where I'm trying to use more onboard effects :). Can't wait!
Right on! I’m interested to hear your approach! Lemme know how I do
Great job! Love those 3 harmonies. 👍❤️
Thank you!!!
Sweet, love it! Vocals are amazing. I like how you keep it simple and just let the song breath. Thank you!
Thanks Mark! I was working on that exact concept for this song because it’s pretty simple, but also particular. Good learning exercise for me! 👍
Wow, I just bought a boss 600 I can't wait to spend hours playing with it. Great job on the boss and the video. 😊😊
Oh hell ya! You will spend hours playing with it 😂 I hope it brings out so much creativity and opens musical doors!
Very good I will try to reproduce this version with my RC500
I hope it helps! I like the edition of the FS-6 👍
I always appreciate all that you do to help guide those of us coming up behind you, trying to learn this craft.... looping is an art in and of itself. I mean, It’s one thing to use a looper to layer tons of random sounds, it’s another thing to use one to perfectly recreate songs that were originally performed by a 6 piece band. Well done!
My pleasure! Thank you friend!
Thank you for that awesome breakdown of the use of the FS-6 with the RC-600... and the awesome buildup of Tennesse Whiskey
Glad you liked it!
Bravo! and yes to 505 for guitarist... and I love memory one's name.
Haha thanks friend :) 🤘😆
Thanks for all your helpful tutorials and beautiful music!
Inspired me to get my RC-600 this weekend and discovered a cool trick for switching on the G2B input effect without extra foot switches: If you set an assign to the rec/play button where the bass track will live to toggle on the G2B effect, the effect punches in and out nicely when recording the bass line on that specific track. This way, there's no need to turn G2B on and off separately. Of course only bass can go to that track, but hey we have 5 more tracks ;-}
So great! What an excellent idea! Rock on my friend! I hope you are making beautiful music 🤘😆🫶
@EmilyMcVicker thank you! I noticed the pro-tip way you keep the energy up by recording one track to the next directly without pressing play after recording the current loop and waiting for that extra cycle (a big YES to your 5 looping mistakes video!)
So here's one more key detail to use G2B in that scenario. (I'm sure you already know but thought I'd share with your viewers) : you can set assigns on the other track record buttons to also turn off G2B so that it turns off when directly recording a different track. Just set the assign target on those buttons to G2B, but this time, turn both min/max toggles to off. Heck, I even put the same off-assign on the stop button where the G2B effect lives just in case. OK, enough geekery, time to make some music ;-}
Just wow! I'm a lifetime musician and instructor, and I'm amazed by your talent and creativity. Thanks!!!
Wow, thank you! Aww Brett ❤️
I don't blow smoke. I critique the musical ability of people all day long, most every day for over 30 years.
You've got the goods, Lady!!!
I love watching you build songs, I may have said that before lol. It's always amazing how you can sound like a full band with backing singers in perfect harmony. So much talent. If I were doing this I would panic and press all the wrong buttons mid-song. I need to catch you live on Twitch that is for sure.
Haha I appreciate it Stephanie 🥰 and I’m glad! It probably looks complicated, but I try to keep my system easy enough for myself, so that it could be consistent. And the simplicity in confidence helps give it that full band sound I think :-)
Excellent harmonies, Emily!! It's not so easy to harmonise with yourself.
Thanks Paul! Well practice fine tunes them 🤘😆♥️
Most of us look for but never find the smallest bit of genius, then for others it come as natural as breathing. Another great performance Emily!
Aww shucks friend! Thanks 🙏
It may look easy, but it‘s actually a lot of work, practice, and more often than not frustration.
First Emily has to figure out what the song she wants to cover is all about - rhythm, chord progression, structure, instrumentation, arrangement, vocals, solos etc. Then she has to learn the lyrics (by❤) and the melody lines for the intro, solos and ending. She‘s probably experienced enough to instantly know how to transfer the rhythm pattern into beatboxing, and how to sing the harmonies. Nevertheless these processes also take some time. After that she has to manage and organize the looper functions (fx, loop lengths, partitioning, mixing, controls etc.). Then she can (pre-)record the loops and do the mixing and maybe add some (output) effects like reverbs, dynamics and enhancers. The finished loops finally need to be integrated into the current set list and performance (or be prepared for a tutorial). And finally everything needs to be practiced and repeated several times and on several days. If you stop rehearsing a song regularly, it will be completely gone after three weeks. (Once you‘ve performed it in front of an audience, it will last much longer - but also fade over time and will need re-rehearsing).
On top of all that Emily has to maintain her equipment, organize her schedule and constantly keep up with tech, song, and style trends. Like I said: Lot‘s a work. 😊

You are awesome! You inspire me and make music possible. Thanks to your videos, I switched from using another software to Ableton, and even bought the Boss RC 600 based on your recommendations. Thank you for helping me a lot with my Loopstation. Greetings from Germany! 🫶🙏🏾
Holy smokes wow! I hope you’re having a great time! So lovely to meet you 🤘❤️
Love it!
So glad! Thanks!!
So here's a topic that may or may not fit in with your instructional style. I have an RC-600 and am still working through how I'm going to use it, what songs fit, etc. It looks to me that you typically use multi-mode with your tracks so you can add/remove layers through the song. And this especially lends itself towards songs with repeating chord progressions. Do you use single mode tracks, a.k.a. for separate verse, chorus, bridge, whatever? Have you played with or found a use case for mixed modes? I'm sure, for me, the more complex it gets, the more likely I may loose the audience. However, that RC-600 has some massive capabilities that are so much fun.
Thanks for all you do. Love your music as well as your instruction; very helpful!
Hey Mark :) I don’t really use single mode because I don’t record every section. I just like to have some textures to add it take away and still focus mostly on the live performance. Do you like single mode? I also haven’t really tried it
Single mode on the RC-600 works great if you want to flip between alternate chord progressions. It syncs real nicely, like if you want to queue up a second track to play when the first track completes, for example. I think it might be sweet to play around with hybrid so you can do a verse / chorus and still layer tracks in and out to give it variety. I haven't tried that out yet.
Damn!!! That's FRIKKEN Amazing Emily!!
Aww shucks thanks you!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Stunning talent. I am in love!!!
Yay! Thank you friend! Guitar player?
Thanks for this!
Glad you like! Cheers! 🥂
Looks,personality,technical ability, heart and soul,and beautiful voice …thanks.
You’re welcome any time my friend!!!
Another excellent how-to!
Thanks bill! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Absolutely brilliant!
Aww thanks Mike! 🙏🙏
Superb!
Thanks a lot!
Great Job!
Thanks friend!!! 🤘😆
Damn, those harmonies!
Thanks friend 🤘❤️
This is a performance! And thanks for the FX pedal tips!
Oh snap! Thanks friend :) I just acquired a 2nd FS-6 pedal. It’s gonna make gigs so smooooth 🤘😆
@@EmilyMcVicker yeah! I’m using the FS7 for activating mode 3 and start/stop tracks 1-3, the guitar ones!
Beautiful arrangement, rich soulful voice, and sanguine personality…. I hope you ge the backing from a major record label or somebody in Nashville picks you up. ❤
You’re very sweet. Glad you liked the video 🤗🤗🤗
Can't wait for this one!
Thank Ba ba ba bill Goodell! 🫶

Best rc 600 demo
Aww snap thank you friend!
It is just beautiful. Thanks
You are very kind 🤘❤️
what a great video Emily loved it
Aww thanks man! 🫶
Linda Voz.
Fantastic loops!😁🤘
Thanks! 👍
Beautiful!
Drummer girl!!! Thank you friend ❤️👍
interesting video. Great performance.
Thank you very much!
Another wonderful 600 instructive demo and great recording.Well done.I would have used a double bass sound for the bass or a fretless.
Thanks!
You would have used a double bass sound? How would you do that, I’m curious 🧐
Emily, what's your take on the quality of the effects? Are you leaving your outboard effects at home next time?
You are amazingly talented and clearly have worked hard to get where you are. I'd love to see more 505 videos with the piano/keyboard. I'm curious to see how you use the pre and post effects.
Oh yes! Just uploaded new 505 video comes out Monday 👍👍👍
I didn’t use too many Fx in my actual performances. Really just reverb and compression. I would like to demo some more on here tho 🫶 I’ll keep that in mind 🙏
This is so damn good
Aww Alex you’re very sweet 🥰 glad u like!
Damn thats goood
Thanks friend!
OMG I Love ❤ this you ROCK Dam
thank you sweet friend!!

Amazing!
Thank you friend!!
Well this was just F***ing Epic pardon my French. ❤
lol you’re sweet 🥰🫶
You’re good girl!
🤘😜 thanks!
Hello Emily, I guess you're currently one the greatest person on earth ! 😊 Thanks for your videos ! 🙏Do you believe you could explain why you have two mikes on a lot of your videos and what are the role of each one - I find it difficult to capture and loop (live) percussion sounds with my Sennheiser 835s, but I like it for my voice ! and the Shure SM7B is for studio recording, isn't it ? Thanks !
Hey! Good question :-) are used to always use two microphones, because I wanted there to be a different sound from the recorded loops versus the lead singing. but I have simplified and gone down to one microphone. When I am live, I am able to turn down just the loop volumes in the little mixer settings. And when I’m making videos, now that I have one microphone, I can mix the sound virtually in my DAW before it goes to the Looper. But I know lots of folks who still use two microphones and it works really great 👍
Thanks Emily ! 😊
Goodjob boss🫶🏿
❤️❤️❤️ thanks friend!
There's something very wrong here. I play guitar, bass, sing and own an RC-600 and I'm nowhere near as fantastic as Emily. Having given this some thought, I've come to the only logical conclusion - my RC-600 needs a firmware update.
ALL RC-600's need an update! Current version is 1.21
Does ur freeze on you or glitch? I updated a while back, but it was no good and I kept reverting. They might have improved the firmware now, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
I was only joking. You're so good at this and my pride refuses to acknowledge the lack of talent on my part so it must be a problem with the tech 🙂
@@crystalwaveablelol it probably is just a firmware update! Give it a try 😜
Wow .... that was really nice. I’d love to see you stream a gig sometime.... but never stop doing these videos... they are soooo helpful to those of us that are just getting started..
Thanks for your video! Would love to see an instructional video (if you don't already have one) about how to get the input settings saved to apply bass FX effects on one pedal -- so that the bass automatically comes in when I record on that pedal. I think I've watched about three different TH-cam videos now about bass FX effects on the RC-600 but I'm still confusingly trying to figure out how to get it set up. 😅
I also wonder if maybe I misunderstand how FX effects work -- e.g. maybe it's not possible to configure automatic bass as soon as I hit record on a loop?
Yes!!! Such a good idea! I can totally make this!
@@EmilyMcVicker Thank you for considering it! :D
@@LPnoteshuh ya that seems tricky. You’d have to switch the bass FX on seperately. But that would be cool if you could compound the functions! Maybe boss will do that in future
@@EmilyMcVicker Thanks for looking into it! I was eventually able to figure out how to get a bass effect playing back on an assigned pedal using TRACK FX, but the effect only comes in on the overdub, and not during the initial recording. I'm resigned to that limitation at this point. :)
👍👏👏👏
🤘😜
❤❤❤ muito bom . Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Harmonies 😁
😜👍🥰
Hey Emily! You are so amazing! I love your channel and your content. Do you use a click track, or do you use your internal metronome when setting your rhythm track? I'm struggling a bit to use the click in my IEM's with the RC600 when playing live, but when I don't, even though I'm a rhythmic player, getting the timing right is hit and miss. Just curious. Thank you for sharing your tips and your talent with us!
Hey! Great question. I don’t use a click. To me, in a performance setting, that seems like it would make it harder 🤔 and it would take time and require more button pressing. It is definitely worth practicing building that first loop with good time. and if you can nail the first loop, the rest of the loops are much much easier 🤘😜
Although, I started using IEM‘s for my live performances and that has been a big win! Because less bleed from a monitor wedge for example. but in my ears, I’m only hearing the loops
@@EmilyMcVicker thank you so much Emily! I didn’t think that you did because you usually start with like a beatbox rhythm but how do you turn off the rhythm on the RC 600 so you don’t have to use a click or have it match its tempo? Does that make sense?
I tell you what I would love for you to do a video on this topic, if you haven’t already. I apologize if I’ve missed one that you’ve done previously.
I'm assuming you can apply the "one shot" function to the bv channel?.. that would save having to stop the loop. Although, your timing has is a bit unforgiving when recording. My 505 mk2 is a bit weird with loop lengths with this function, I tend to record the one shot tracks first.
Just an observation when you're doing the hats in the beatbox...the amount of air coming from your throat is a bit whistly and i think its may cause some unnecessarydry throat over a full gig.. one thing I've worked on is creating pressure in the roof of your mouth rather than your lungs.. you can get more of a washy sound by making a "Tss" through your teeth you just make you still get that strong "T" sound.. you can also add softer accents while hissing throught like "TsstststststsTsststststst" (hope you cam translate beatbox😅)
I just feel like its a simple thing to work on to avoid using to much air and drying your throat out
Very helpful video, thank you 💐
Hmm ya. Not a problem for me. 🤷♀️👍
And fyi, when you’re beatboxing, the high hat sound shouldn’t be coming from your throat at all. Try just making the pressure from within only your mouth. That might help 👍
@@EmilyMcVicker thats what I'm getting at... your hats are a "Tuhhh" instead of "Tss" sound, which is wasting air and adding a dry whispery/ whistle behind the beat.. but if that spreads your jam, put on a buffet 👌
Excellent video, but never see you use more than 3 trks, so why six trks, will the first first 3 trks will be muted if you activate 4.5.6. By pressing the mode button? Seems a bit risky using more than 3 trks.😅
I totally agree! It is rare that I use more than three tracks. Mostly because to use the other tracks, I have to do more clicking and shuffling through the pedal modes, and I feel like that takes up time and energy, and I can usually create all I need with just the three. There are so many variables to life performance, I say, keep it simple 😆👍
Goodness, my brain doesn't multi-task that way. Is it learned or do you just have the software for that skill set pre-installed in your head? I just got my RC 600 today. Sadly, I'm a wannabe looper at this point. Thanks for the tips though!
For me, I could hear what I wanted musically, and then it was a matter of designing a system to make the looper make it happen. Don’t be discouraged! Use the looper to accentuate the musical skills you’re already good at 👍 and feel free to borrow any of the tricks I share in my arrangements 🫶
Just Cute! Cute as i don't know what! Great Vocals, etc. etc.
Lol I’ll take it! Thanks friend 🥰
❤️
Are you happy with the sound of the gtb effect? I hadn’t been satisfied with it the few times I tried it. I also play a 1/2 below standard tuning so I’m not sure if that is an issue.
It was interesting playing around with it on this video. I don’t use it a tone. I usually prefer to play key bass on the piano. What do you think of the sound of it in this example? I had to be really careful to not let any of the other strings ring out at all. My finger mute game had to be on high alert!
When you're recording your harmonies why the mic is not recording back the sound coming from the speakers and only recording clean vocals?
I have headphones in 👍 but when live, the goal is to have as limited of that as possible. It can be tricky when live. But that’s the goal
@@EmilyMcVicker I've seen guys doing it live and I always wonder why don't they get the live sound coming through the speakers recorded in the microphone. For reference you can check an artist Bhuwin Khursija, he's amazing with his loops and vocals..

Aww 🥰
