I’ve owned the RC-300 for a couple years now. This is by far the best demonstration I’ve watched to simply start jamming. Every one else seems to make it entirely too complicated. Nice job 🤘
Great initial presentation, but not looking at the user manual only worked because you had some prior knowledge. I have an RC-300 and it has stacks of useful features that you won't understand without consulting the manual.
I own this pedal, it is awesome, but requires a considerable amount of reading and reference to manuals tutorials etc. in order to get the most from it. It is at first, slightly overwhelming, if you are a technophobe like me, but stick with it, and you will reap it's rewards.
@@thestonecutters6177 Yes; you can do e.g. verse on track 1, chorus on track 2, bridge on track 3 as per th-cam.com/video/1VM2cvr0Wu0/w-d-xo.html. I am an intermediate player and love this thing. The recording of course exposes my technique :-) so I need to get my chords formed and strummed right. I've started using the effect of guitar -> bass (i.e. an octaver effect) to lay down real bass lines. Right now, pretty much every day I'll put in a 12-bar in some random key, first chords, then bass. Then noodle through minor pentatonic for a while. Can practice turnarounds, quick change, 12/8 feel with triplets vs 4/4. Practicing finding some licks here and there over the scale. All of a sudden two hours have gone by and 95% of it was me playing :-) :-)
thanks for this video bro, so well put together for those of us with no focus. I was actually going to pay someone real dollars to teach me the basics in person but youve nailed it and I can take it and run thanks alot
Hi Luke, Did you find that you like the 300 ? Is it simply RECORD until you want to stop and then that part repeats then it goes into OVER-DUB automatically. I love my RC-30 that works that way without having to "program" everything. Thx Luke.
@@piperofsimms hmmm yes I think it is, it will loop back to the beginning automatically from where you stopped it. if you have record selected it will record for you each time and play it back the next loop
Nice little introduction video. I just love all Boss products. Been using the Ve-8 for a bit now and looking to add a more usable looper to go along with it. Looks like this fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for the video.
Can this be used witout a time count? Im just playing ambient meditation swells without any dependence on any timing. I want to disable all the counts.
Hi great video quick question I bought the RC300 so I could record my midi piano into it but I can't find a video anywhere showing how to set it any help is much appriciated thanks for the great video
Use the audio out from whatever sound generator you’re using (could be the keyboard itself), run into the rc300 via audio input. As far as midi control from the unit out - still working on that :) syncing together with Ableton is my jam
Do you recommend this loop station also for recording / studio/ composing work? Or is there something more suitable? I'm brand new with this as a musician. THanks
Awesome vid, cool about the levels. But how do I transition to a different to part of the song. Is there a quick way to swap onto previously saved tracks?
I like the simplicity of this I’m wondering if you can start/stop/rec as easily on the new rc600 or if you have to press a track select button to move between tracks . If so that could make it quite tedious I just asked this question on other TH-cam channels about the rc600 “ I have a question 🙋♂️ As an example , Let’s say you have recorded guitar parts on 3 different tracks Can I turn these on and off at any time just by pressing on the main buttons at the bottom or do I have to press the track select button to move over to a specific track before I can turn it on or or off ? “
You can start and stop a loop individually? On my Ditto once I have them both going you can't stop one or the other individually, you have to stop them both and then get back into the loop tracks. I need a looper that allows me to start and stop certain loops without having to kill the track all together
Hi ! Thanks for the video. I have a question though, how Can you restant your track at the begining without waiting for the track to restart ? When I stop and then play it Plays where I stoped insted of playing the begining !
Start and stop separate tracks at the same time to record new change, then same in reverse to go back to previous. If you have a DAW on a laptop then it really opens up to infinity with a little practice - prerecord basics on laptop and do live looping with the boss unit
After you record a first track, does that same track or any of the others (2 and 3) sync automatically so that you don't need to press REC exactly on time?
Hello... I love using my RC-30. I want 1 more track. Will this be user friendly and behave much like the RC-30 ? My pedals will be shaping the sound. All I want is those 3 tracks. Would this be a good choice ?
way more for the needs when wanting to loop live, first thing that makes this more useble than the rc 30 and the others is, less kneeling down and pressing buttons with fingers / trying to press tiny buttons with your toes
Hey thanks for the video. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to tell me if your RC-300 power button makes a click when you press it? I’m trying to determine if mine may be defective before I send it back. It feels like it might be. It does not click but it does come on and turn off. However, I have to press the button just right.
do you know how to hear a audio input but not record that? i have a drum machine e want to hear the beat but not record (i dont have a mixer vet and i have pluged my phones on the rc300 only, thanks!
omg thanks, someone who doesn't overcomplicate things! i was wondering if there was a way to delete individual overdubs on the same track.... like on track 1 for example if you do something and add a layer but mess it up? do you have to clear all the layers and start again or is there another solution? thanks!
thanks mat. also - how do we loop a phrase that isn't 4/4, or indeed is a free rhythm and length all together? i can't seem to just get rid of the tempo button....
Hi there ! I own already a rec-30, so do you recommend me to get rather the rc-300 instead ? Also is it possible to use the rc-300 just as an effect pedal or are the effects only to be used on the loops themselves ?
flipmacyt hey mate, I own both of them pedals and would recommend the rc300 cause it’s easier to handle. Btw you can you the pedal as a effect pedal but for that I’d rather buy a proper effect pedal .
@@paulineanders6403 hi Anders ! thank you very much for the feedback. In the meantime i got the rc300 at a nice price second hand in very good condition and it seems indeed that the rc300 is easier to handle ... it runs quite of smoothlier to operate ... anyway, still new for me this one, so i hope i will use it a lot. Thanks a lot !Philippe
Hannah Kenney , hello. With the Rc-300 I use a Neumann Km 184 ( one mic ) and Im quite happy with it. Really great for recording Accoustic Guitars, Drums, Voices, Snaps, Percussion and on and on. Real nice. I’ve tried with other brand like Warm, Shure, and the Km 184 sound much better, but that’s my personal opinion.
This is probably a dumb question but, I have RC 300. I want to run piano guitar and my vocal through it what is the best way to connect to a PA? I don’t use an amp.
Hi, do you know how to assign the beat rhythm to a specific track? Basically I'd like to have a solo play first then start the rhythm midway through song. Also is it possible to assign a pedal to start/stop rhythm rather than have to press the button ? Many thanks.
Hi sir , I have a specific question. I record a beat loop on my first track , hitting my acoustic guitar . I just put a little of electronic beat on it (on button) and record it. On my second track pedal, I'd like to put , for example, just a smoth sound rythmic (hit my guitar for clap for an exemple). The problem is that the beat pattern sound on the second track pedal! I just want it on the first pedal !!! Not on the 2nd and 3rd one ! Is it possible to adjust that? To say to the machine, I want a yes electronic rythm but just on my first track? Tx
S St-Pierre after the you finished recording the first track, you can add on to it by pressing the first track button again and looping what you want to. This will allow you to record multiple parts on one track. Again, just act like you’re going to record something again on the first track.
@@ethanvanatta1729 . Tx but mmmm. I just want to have the electronic beat on the 1st track but not in the 2nd and 3rd one. As I undestand my RC300, when the electronic beat is ON, it's on on the 3 differents pedals. I'd like the electronic beat just on the 1st !
Couple questions if you don't mind. 1) If you are not using the effects, is this just a direct pass through of the sound that you are putting into it? 2) Can you run it so you do a 1 measure beat on track 1 and then do a 4 measure recording of say a bass line on track 2 and 3 AND can you have track 1 in sync with track 2 and 3 BUT have track 2 and 3 in serial with each other so you can have an A and B part with the beat of track one playing on both? 3) how do you erase a recording on the top most layer of a single track? Thanks :)
I am interested in buying one of these. I want to know if I can send audio from my PC to the looper. I have Native Instruments Guitar Rig on my PC and was wondering if I can output to the looper? I would really appreciate some guidance please. Thanks
Should be fine, computer audio out to aux in on 300. You'll need to see how best to set up the sync. I can't give specifics but thefe are a number of inputs on the 300 and I have used cubase, drum pads etc all linked. Download the user manual and you'be able go seesome working setup examples

That was actually a really tasty jam
Amazing video with concise direction that is full of possibilities. Thank you!
Its fun to use and have had one for years and never had any problems with it. Its built like a tank.
There's lots more to the RC-300 but this is an excellent demo of the basics - a very good quick start guide to get people started enjoying it.

Best demonstration I’ve seen! Keep up the great work.
Thanks I just received my Boss RC-300 and your video made so easy🤙🏾
Excellent demo - thank you 🙏
Great demonstration...definitely getting one
Also...you can overdub multiple parts on each track. Plus you can load in your own WAV files and trigger them. It's pretty cool.
That's what I wanted to know! Awesome!
17 seconds in: prison shank to open box. Thumbs up!

Great demo...thanks. Was looking at the Electro Harmonix 95000 but you may have swayed me..........
This is a wonderful tutorial. I think I must get one of these! Thank you.
Very good teacher!
Here's how to use the RC300 in 6 minutes. Also, here's how to write a song in the same time. Legend.
dont forget unboxing in the same time frame
Great demo !
Great demo. As a beginner I would have liked to see hot the kit was wired up. Back to the manual I guess
But during a live performance one is not gonna bend down and adjust levels unless they must
Can this be used witout a time count? Im just playing ambient meditation swells without any dependence on any timing. I want to disable all the counts.
Thanks for the Short informative video! I just bought one for my electric harp.
Wow...... Id love to see that

Hi ! Thanks for the video. I have a question though, how Can you restant your track at the begining without waiting for the track to restart ? When I stop and then play it Plays where I stoped insted of playing the begining !
Question - did you have the metronome or rhythm going into your headphones? Seems like you have to be sync'd up the tempo that's running.
Do you have a separate output for each track? Like do you have a separate speaker for the mic and the piano?
what about if the song has more than one part with different chord progressions?
Start and stop separate tracks at the same time to record new change, then same in reverse to go back to previous. If you have a DAW on a laptop then it really opens up to infinity with a little practice - prerecord basics on laptop and do live looping with the boss unit

Is the RC505 build as a hardcase? If not then RC300 is better traveling with?
Haha. Is that the Jonas brother framed?
Problem, what if i don't want to use the meter/quantification, it seems to create as delay for r
meter restart then to where i command it to end??
mmmm So it does exactly what a cheap one button pedal does great. Is there a beat rhythm section like the rc10? This thing is gigantic I don't get it.
