you're damn good at this, so much talent and excellence. thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Glad you like 🤘😜❤️
Welcome friends! What song do you play in your set that you'd like me to break down in my style?
Maybe Your take on the song ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. That tune was bouncing around in my head from out of nowhere while I was listening to this post…lol
Hi Emily. Amazing work as usual. Here’s a link to my loop covers. I’d love to see your take on “Call me Al “ that I did, or pick another and do your thing. 😊

omfg this amazing song is on my todo list of dream looping songs (along with don't worry be happy and killing me softly!!!!)
Those songs are so great! I love them too :-)
Dangit I barely missed the premier. Love this how-to video. So much insight into quickly making a pleasing video!
aww thanks Bill! You're the best. I'll make a longer video next time so you dont just miss it :)
Very cool...and as a bonus you have that sparkly eye look...
🙌🙌🙌 nice
Emily, Godess of live looping.....I feckin love this song and you NAILED it. I have a Voicelive 3 and an RC600 and a bit of talent and you just inspired me to get off my butt and do amazing things with these devices x
Yes, dream big!
Very cool!
Thank you friend!!
The Boss RC-600 looks brilliant. All I need know is Emily’s talent and I’ve got it made. 🤩
A lot of practice and experimentation! You can do it :)
It´s always amazing again how you do all this Things.Keep it up!💯❣❣
Thank you sweet Flex 🥰🥰🥰 glad you liked!!
Amazing, you're the best, pure talent
You are very kind Marzio! 🤘😆
You use the Rc 600 with incredible semplicity and your videos convey a simphaty and joy that I would never stop watching. Talented, beautiful music, fun = Emily McVicker style. Keep going 🤗🥰
So much fun watching you creating music! You've got a great voice Emily! I got along way to go, just hanging in there, but with my 505 MKII there might be a chance for me too. Thanks for sharing!
Oh love it! I'd love to play with that one. in your photo, you have a guitar - is that your main instrument?
@@EmilyMcVicker Yes that is my main instrument. but I'm a music teacher so I play the Piano too, and drums! I'v been playing with bands most of my life, and have sometimes played the keyboard. I have got my own home-studio. and make a lot of music, you can watch that on my channel! Loved watching your cat hiding!
You are awesome! Love your videos!! So talented, so gorgeous!!
Thank you friend! 🥰🥰🥰
Solid!
Thank you friend!!!
This is a great video! Cant wait to see more....
Aww you’re so sweet 🥰 thanks for Cheking it out!
I am joining the community! So enjoyable to see you playing music with those devices.
Oh fun! Good to have ya! Thanks for saying hi :)
Bravo, bravo! 👏😍👏
♥️💯♥️
@@EmilyMcVickerI’ve had this damn song stuck in my head for 4 days now. Thanks a lot 😮💨😂 In all seriousness, I love your version of it and your energy. Even better than the original! You’re a 💎
Very nice. 👌🏼
Thanks!! 😆❤️🫶
This is super cool - I’ve been debating about the RC-600 but you make it look so versatile and easy!
It is! It was touch and go when the first came out. But it really does some great stuff that have streamlined my show!
This video never ceases inspiring me!! And such a great tune!!!
This was really cool!
Thank you so much friend!
Another very well done looping build. Very nice. What area(s) do you do your live shows?
Seattle :) I have a show this coming Wednesday at the W Bellvue hotel. And Jan 30th late show at the Owl N Thistle with my favorite jazz combo 🤘😆
An awesome girl ! Regards and congratulations from Portugal :-)
Thank you so much!! Hello Portugal! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great video and awesome performance. Bravo
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 all the way from the Peru!!!
Aww ya so cool! Hello! Thanks for saying hey :)
What a nice voice you have so sweet! great job!
Aww thank you!!
First and foremost - thanks so much, Emily, for being a beacon of fun and light in a world fun of challenges! I really like how you always have the laugh, & and how you're always smiling an joking around, but at the same time, I really appreciate how make such a huge effort to share with us your approaches in these really substantial and rich educational videos!
I currently have a Boss RC-3 pedal (and a violin with pick-up), and much of my music today is made out of using it for songs that have a simple backing of a few layers, and also an overdubbing of an extra few extra layers for the song's chorus. However, naturally, a problem arises with particular songs when its structure isn't compatible with this simple verse / chorus format, and/or when the song has bridges. This makes it unnatural for me to perform, as the RC-3 only allows me to have a bass track of a few layers, and then reclaim a few extra layers of overdubbing.
I'm strongly considering upgrading to the RC-600 in an attempt to overcome this issue - in your experience of using it, does the RC-600 do a good job at navigating through bridges and difficult song structures well enough?
Thanks very much for any ponters / advice / sharing of your ideas with me :)
..And best wishes to you from Ireland (I noticed your wearing of a Claddagh ring on the index finger ;) )
Oh friend! Your show sound so awesome do you have any videos I can see??
I feel you. Ya, the one track looper can be hard to build a whole show. I bet you’d be a good candidate for the 600. It takes a while to get used to. And with such a dynamic pedal, the trick is still keeping it simple I think. My biggest complaint is the firmware. All the new firmware‘s have sucked for me (I don’t know if it is my particular youth case) but I’m hopeful that one fine day they will fix the firmware to be solid for everyone.
The 600 has such a great sound quality. But if you would like a simpler pedal, the 300 is also great. Much simpler to get into. So I’d recommend either pedal 😜👍
@@EmilyMcVicker Thanks for taking the time to share those pointers Emily - you're a champion. I just discovered you a few days ago, and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching all your videos!
Sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, I don't have anything published online I'm afraid - I'm more of a modest / low-key performer at present, but the idea of broadening-out would excite me, especially when I'm seeing what you can do with your kit and talent!
A Canadian TH-camr named Bryson Andres was the very first big inspiration for me to buy the RC-3, and I did, and I haven't looked back since :) Sadly, he's taken a little bit of a break from music, so it made my discovery of your channel all the more of a welcome surprise!
Best wishes with all of your work and music, Emily, and thanks again :D
Hi Emily, thanks for this, really enjoy everything you are doing with the looper and your videos. Big New fan here :) I just purchased an RC 600 (4 days ago), based on this song and some of the other songs I have watched you play, generally speaking, what are your TRACK and SYSTEM set ups? , What do you have your Tracks (1, 2, 3) (REC, PLAY) settings to as far as quantize, Loop Sync, AUTO....I know this is a big question and there are a lot of parameters... but this is the part I am having some challenges with for looping with the new RC 600. I want it to be as close to the 300 as possible to make the switching easier. Firmware is updated. Do you have a template for track and system settings for the RC 600 that you would share by chance? I generally prefer the multi setting as opposed to single track mode; I see that many loopers are using the single (6 Tracks on MODE 1) but this is not something I want to try right yet. Once again, thanks for all of your videos and your talent.
Hey friend! Just getting to this comment now. So nice to hear from you! I have a video going over how I initially set line up. I do rec>dub>play. I turned quantize *on*. And I left all my tracks set to *free*. I moved my a few of my switches around to prioritize ease and accessibility 👍
Nice work Emily! 🙏 What a lot of fun! Looks like you have the RC 600 pretty figured out to work with you. Great machine. I know you had a slight difficulty with one of the buttons being on the opposite side. Did you customise that out? Anyway Very inspiring. I enjoyed that. I’ve got an old RC 300 still sitting in storage…lol. Hardly used! 🙄 Got me thinking now though. Thanks for sharing your latest ideas.
Hey Ramon! YES I did! I moved it to the button furthest to the left on the top row (#7). It’s not completely where it used to be, but having it in the middle isn’t such a bad place either so that’s what I’ve done for now :)
That cat had me laughin....lol...that skirt though...yes...very cute...oh yeah and performing the song was good too. I don't really care for the song itself though, so the other factors kept me...haha.
Ha! Oh good to know! What music do you like?
Great job Em….but your cat stole the show. I was watching the cat to see if it was gonna jump out of the blanket - instead of watching you .. 🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽
Pahaha!! I know! That darn cat I didn’t see what she was doing till I was editing 😂😂😂😂
Nice emily

hi beautiful, great work! I want to buy the RC-600 but afraid of the bad reviews on it, especially about all the bugs. Any thoughts?
The fact that she pretty much just uses the first three loops answers it for me. I think I'll stick with the 300.
Hey! ya the bad reviews are troubling. I love this thing and how it sounds, but problems seem to be mostly in the firmware. I think that's where the bugs are. which is new to most of us becuase the old pedal was much simpler. i have faith that the firmware will continue to improve, but if you're unsure, theres no harm in waiting for them to get it right.
Firmware bugs seem to be a thing with any type of hardware including modellers. I have a bug with my Ampero 2 at the moment. But I see most companies do fix them eventually with updates. The technology is still really enjoyable though. It outweighs the bugs in my opinion.
I get the idea that the RC-600 is over-engineered into over-complication.
It's just a feeling.
you might be right. i'm hoping they get the firmware stuff ironed out so it can be more reliable. this machine can do a lot, but you kind of have to pick and chose what will serve your music, cuz there's too much to use all the features.
I don't know if Cleo distracted you while you were singing, but she made me laugh 😍 Emily, you really have a lot of talent! I like 🎹🎶☀️ (Tsuki)
Tsuki! Haha i had no idea what she was doing til I edited the video 😂😂 silly kitty!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Wow! quite the pedal dance! Nice! I like the way you used the just the cabasa for one verse and just the other rhythm for the other verse. How long does it take you to rehearse a loop like this before your ready to get the take right on camera?
When I’m performing live I’m comfortable improvising and going with the flow. But for these TH-cam videos Im a little more picky about getting the words and notes just right so I definitely do a few takes running through that song. 😜👍
@@EmilyMcVicker Wow! just a few takes--that's great. You certainly make it look easy. You have inspired me to dust off the RC-505. Love your channel!
@@windysynth well it helps that I do so many songs, so every song is still practicing for all the songs
Hi Ms McViker. Thank you for all the videos, I have had my RC600 for about a month. In three weeks’ time I am going to try and recreate an entire album, solo and live, at a fan convention. So all the tips have been really useful!
How do you do that bass dive sample in this tune, out of interest?
Dan
Hey! The bass sound? It’s a built in patch on my keyboard. I think it’s called PWS bass
@@EmilyMcVicker yes, I have since seen your Winehouse vid where you trigger a sound with infra red?
I’ve just started doing videos with the rc-600 - nowhere near your standard, but I am learning - the idea of this video diary is to show my progress learning this difficult cult-status album…. Including my mistakes! So anyone interested can chart the ‘journey’, if you see what I mean?
As you say that you like to see how people loop….

Can the 505mk2 do the same job?
My understanding is that they have the came computer inside. But I have yet to dive into a 505mk2. But that might change very soon ….. 😏
Hello, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I've been listening carefully...
If you were to rate the overall performance of the device out of 10 points, how many points would you give?
Yikes… hard to rate the overall experience. I wanna say 7. I love the sound quality and the compactness of it. But the firmware and glitches have made it very frustrating and cumbersome to deal with it. Looping has to be very consistent or it ruins the illusion. But I guess I’m sticking with it still because once they iron out those things, it will be super rad.
Hello everyone,
I came here specifically to warn every one to stay away from this looper. The RC-600 is a buggy mess and is not nearly ready for a gigging musician. I have been embarrassed by this Looper Pedal when it crashes or randomly changes tempo while I'm performing in front of a crowd. I feel betrayed by Boss as a company and I am pissed as hell that they would sell this when it is far from ready for release.
I updated the firmware a couple times now, (currently running 1.2) and while some old bugs are fixed, brand new bugs are introduced. I paid about $700 for this piece of shit and I can't believe how often this looper has let me down/ humiliated me.
This Looper has so many options, that by the time you realize its buggy and not you misunderstanding how to use it, it will be too late to return it. A bit FU to Boss and anyone who suggested I buy this looper.
Yes. Not the first bad review I’ve heard. I’ve heard some success stories and a lot of different bad experiences. I just sent mine in to be replaced because some of its features weren’t working. But my new one works like the 1st one did out of the box.
I’ve had really bad experiences with the firmware updates. But the original firmware works very smoothly for my particular use case so I’m not gonna update this one for a while.
If you have one already, and you can’t return it, I just hope they come out with a firmware that fixes all the bugs. I wish it had been less buggy to start, but I hope it can still be fixed.
Be well friend! Keep in touch ❤️
