And again, a big "thanks mate" to you, carl. So helpful, you bring my looper work to the next level. It's a pitty you don't live around here.... The next beer would be on me.
Hi Carl! Thank you so much again for your great content! So helpful! I’m trying to get the best setup and I’m wondering why I shouldn’t route my looper to 3 or 4 outs, when it's so comfortable to be able to adjust each part/track. Could you explain to me why it would be so overwhelming to manage 3 or 4 PA tracks instead of 2? When it comes to routing a whole band, we often have 6 to 8 or 10 outs, so I don’t get it... Thanks!
Hey! I have a question: I got the Yamaha MG06. Great stuff! But why do you say you use it only for small venues? It's a passive mixer so I don't understand why the audience size matters (since you have to connect it to active speakers anyway). Thanks!
Great video, thanks for the tips. I have a question... I think loops can be panned, that is ok, but I think even if you route loops, the things you are playing live (and looping live), that first time sounds in both outputs. Am I wrong?
Yes, it all depends on where you route your “through” signal. I’m not sure if you can pan that or not. But! You could possibly plug the guitar into R then pan track 1 to the L, then track 2&3 in the sub L & R
Very cool video carl. I have a question. You say you use a DI to split the guit signal so foh has a clean first AND A three l/r looper or however you set it. But i noticed you also use a wireless system. So how does that work if you’re sending 2 separate guit signals and don’t want 2 psych cords from the first. Is it simple a splitter post pedal board?
Thanks Carl for sharing. Hope you'll do more tech videos. It helps me bigtime. I am a looper from Holland an play guitar with boss rc 30/octaver/boost/beat box into a Fishman loudbox with 2 channels (loop out & mic) with DI out for venue mixing. Till now it works but any tips on sound and looparrangements in relation to gear helps me a lot. Chears! Bas G.
Thanks for the good advice with the routing. Had a live session last week and send out all tracks on one channel and had the guitar on the sub-out. But now there are much more possibilities. Really Cool! Also really enjoy your loop sessions! Keep Rocking man!
Thanks for this vid mate> Hopefully this has sunk in to help me to expand the capabilities of my setup here at The. Blind Pig (Orange, Australia) - especially re the DI box... Running an RC300, also have the RC505 (not using that a great deal yet, but will when I get the balls to start singing instead of just playing guitar !) and a new 4 ch DI box. Here at my bar I do the audio setup (slowly tweaking it for better and better results) and record (Audio and video) of everyone who plays live here... but for myself (and to provide a better setup for a couple of my favourite regulars) , I am really interested in the fact I can have a "clean" guitar send from the DI box, AND I imagine a clean vocal send, but then they are also routed to the Looper/s ... think I might try setting that up now - don't feel like sleeping. gigs for you at the better venues out this way (no, I don't and wouldn't charge to do that - just want everyone to see your amazing talent.. have told soooo many people to subscribe to your channel).

Hey Karl! Great new video thanks! Would you consider making a video with a couple more details on your basic setup? I know you have 2 of those already somewhere, I would love to hear you explain your setup with the tiny mixer you showed in the end of this video. thanks man!
Hey Carl!!! How are you bro? A big fan here, I think you should do online class, you help us a lot !! I have one question, how you connect the Stereo DI box into de mixer since is a XLR out and you show us a plug connector, are you using an adapter or and XLR/plug cable ? Please thanks bro! You performance and sound is top level !
@@carlwockner That’s gonna be so cool! I don’t wanna be annoying, but I saw you connect the guitar into the mixer using the stereo plug in / like 5/6 or 3/4 channel on your mixer in instrument cable, I have the same mixer and is not enough XLR inputs !! Thanks again, see you in your course.
Hey Carl, love this vid ! Super informative. I send my guitar via the aux channel on my desk. My input to my rc 300 is muted so I only have what is looped coming out of the looper . It means I have four seperate channels for what’s being looped. Is there a reason you don’t opt for aux out into the looper ? Love your music and tech vids!
Thanks mate, that's a great idea using the seperate AUX send to drive the input. essentially it will get the same result as the DI split, (aside from changing the volume if you desire) also with the DI you will just need a patch cable whereas the AUX you would need a seperate cable each send. Still a great option tho!
Carl Wockner, I notice on your mashup videos and streams you get a super sound from your vox, beatboxing and guitar. Would love a tutorial on how you are Eqing and processing your signal. Many thanks for these vids!
Thanks a ton for sharing man... I have rc 300 n was very confused for the output mainly I am from India and we have less options of availability here or it's too expensive ....thia video helped me to understand live setups which is main in the show pls also make a video on guitar mic and pickup systems best for the loops
Hey Carl how you doing. Do you know how I would wire up the boss RC-202 with a mixer so I can hook up multiple instruments. Also can I hook up an over drive pedal to the mixer or the looper.
Thank you. You packed a lot in. It was a very verbal presentation and being a very slow person I will need to listen a few times till I get it. That said it is a subject I have urgently wanted more clarity on, so thanks again. Keen to have DI’s explained will look out for that video. Now to the most important element. 😂😉 I get a local nail beautician to apply acrylic to my nails. Fantastic in a practical sense but quite ugly. You appear to have strong elegant nails. Are they natural or what?
Great stuff mate. Something probably VERY basic for you. I want to loop a chordal rhythm track on guitar and play a solo over it. How do you suggest I boost my soloing volume? When I hit boost on my rig, as it is now, it obviously boosts everything. Is this where the idea of splitting the signal before going to the loop would work? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Keep us posted on when you might be coming back to the states.
Hi Carl ! Great video, great channel ! I was looking for a loop station, is important that I can use it without external power (to busking). I was thinking in vox lil 1 has very useful effects and is very cheap, the problem is that has only one input and I want conect mic and guitar, do you think that connecting previously at a console both (mic and guitar) and connect both in the same input could sound good ? The other option is boss rc30 (2 inputs) but spend the double. I can afford the RC 30 but doesn't have useful effects included.
Hi Ignacio:) thanks for the message! I would definitely get the RC30 over the VOX looper. That way you don’t need a mixer also - and the looper will be much better. Also look into battery options to power all your pedals in 1 battery pack. That would help you with busking
This is a wonderful video, as are all your helpful videos! :-) one question - I did fully follow you up until the end bit. So you DO split the guitar signal before it gets to the looper? I’d love to see a diagram of how you have it all wired up! 🤯 thanks again for the awesome content! ❤️🙏🏼
Thanks mate. It’s up to you if you split the signal before the looper. I don’t most of the time, so I usually just have 4 outputs (2x stereo outputs) but when I do split the signal prior then I could run 6 outputs yes. But then that is much more mixing and usually more of a hassle if you don’t have a good FOH mix.
@@carlwockner awesome! Thank you SO much for the response! I got that impression from your vids that it’s best to leave as much as you can to ‘you’ rather than risking the FOH messing it up! ;) really appreciate the help you give us all. Ain’t no better looper on the planet! 🙌🏻❤️
Can I route my vocal input and my guitar input to the different outputs? ie so I can eq the vocals and guitar at the desk out front? But also have them looped? For simplicity let’s say I’m looping a beatbox - rhythm guitar on one channel can I route that loop to split the vocal and guitar when it comes out? I’m pretty sure the ditto I used to use would do that…
You can’t route the input to different channels I don’t think. BUT you CAN route each track to be a different output. So if you always beatbox on track 1 you can separate that to main L or R, or Sub out, and the guitar to another.
Wow Carl, thank you for this! I am a musician from Indonesia and I use BOSS RC-300 for my performance. I always have problem to have a nice output of my vocal while looping it at the same time. Will this output method help that issue? Or do I still need to use two different mics, like I saw in your other video? Thank you so much, and I love your music! 🌿
Thank you Carl for posting this type of video. Very helpful info! You have also answered some of my questions on social media in the past and I appreciate that as well. Did you ever use the Rhythm section in your 300 for a "click"? Also, do you have your loops' measures set to Auto or a set number? And finally do you set them to auto start when hearing the signal, count-in, or immediate?
Hey mate, No I don't use a click - all of my loops are set to auto so I have total freedom in each song. I also don't use the auto-start, just the standard "foot switch press" to start recording. I can be much more accurate that way, and often the auto-start poses issues for people when you rely on software to gauge when it thinks you mean to begin. Hope that helps mate
Hey Carl thanks a Lott is a big help.. Plz also guide us for 24bit and 16.bit difference Bcz of using boss rc 300 does it really matter on stage n studio
Barely at all. You can only begin to notice on high end systems and large stages. And even then if you played them both back to back only a keen ear will tell the difference.
RC600 has several outputs. Main L&R, sub 1 L&R and sub 2 L&R. That’s 6 outs (7 if you count the phones out). Still trying to find the best way to route all my instruments/tracks.
Hey Carl, I also use the rc300 connected to a soundcraft ui16. I use 3 separated tracks: track 1 main stereo (guitar); track 2 left sub (drums beatbox); track 3 right sub (backvocals and some piano sounds). The only problem i have is that, when I am recording, all the inputs come out from the same channel before they start playing. Is there a way to separate that? Keep the great job mate
You could set your inputs to go out the main LR or the sub LR. Otherwise mute the input and try doing the link with the DI before the input goes to the looper:)
Great stuff dude! Also your other looper tutorials. One question, I just realized that the rc-300 has reverb. Feel dumb realising that this late. But I assumed it was not included since it is not part of the fx-pedal effects. Anyway, I want to use that reverb on the vocals but it looks like it is always applied to the entire mix. Are you using the reverb on your rc-300?
Thanks mate, yes it has reverb but very limited. I use a very small amount just so its not totally dry but my ACTUAL reverb on the guitar is coming from my HXFX. :) hope that helps
Please ! Answer! What output do I need to use for connecting audio recorder for record ALL audio ( guitar and voice ) from looper to audio recorder and next de-connect and save wav/mp3 to PC
If I may share the product of my reflection on the matter... Not to diminish the advice you give in this video in any way. I've been working on my live looping setup for a while now, since it uses several different acoustic instruments, and I want the sound engineer of each venue to keep control of the sound of each of the 6 instrument separately to make them sound great in the room's specific acoustics. I decided to go down a quite intricate path maybe, but basically I purchased an audio interface with 8 ins and 10 outs (ok, there are more, but those are the instruments ones). Instead of a looper I use Ableton Live and it's looper effect. Each microphone is routed to it's own track, has its own router (or several depending), and each track, including native signal and loops of that instrument, is routed to one of the outs of the interface, which I then send to the PA. For the venue, it's quite straight forward: each instrument gets its own channel, ad what I do with the signal on it's way to their XLR cable is mine to deal with....
Hi mate! Thanks for the comment - yours is an ideal situation for sure. Id even go to the extent (if you haven't already) by adding a rack digital mixer to your rig such as the MR18 or the X32 rack. That way you can accept the 10 outs of your interface and mix the FOH accordingly. So in most scenarios you have adjusted the gain staging / eq / rack etc.. That way you can just patch into FOH from your console, OR worst case, just send a Stereo LR from your Rack Mixer (with or without a Sub bus). My experience with the multiple outputs (which is why Ive kept mine to 5 for most scenarios) is that either the venue hasnt got enough channels, OR (what is most often the case) its a quick festival / venue stage flip changeover and its too much for the sound engineer to comprehend (even though its actually quite simple > set the gain stage and push the fader) they want to be too controlling and my set suffers tone from it. HOWEVER ideally yes your setup would have the best outcome with total control for sure! congrats on dialing it all in. I actually was going to head down that path if it wasn't for this headrush Looper pedal. I like the idea of a standalone option.
Carl, you kind of blazed through that info kind of fast which I know was your intention but did you say that you'll run your guitar straight to your DI box first? So if I understand correctly your running from your guitar to the DI to the looper; then routing the master output of the looper to a DI and then the PA? Cheers for keeping the videos funky and informative!
Gerimaya Whyte yes that’s right. So guitar to DI to mixer. Then the link out of that guitar DI into the looper. Mute the input on the looper. Then run all tracks into separate DIs:)
@@carlwockner Cool, so you're basically bypassing using the RC 300 in any mixing capacity by sending instruments to dedicated DI boxes, then to the mixer but muting the input trim on the looperboard? From there is your signal straight from the looperboard to the PA? Sorry... Trying to make sure I've wrapped my head around this signal chain...
Yes for sure. Only if you want to separate More output options for mixing. Basically it just removes the inputs from the output of the looper. I don’t usually do this but it’s a heavy option if you wanna go that route:)
Carl I need some help. I want to run a guitar and mic with fixed audio input volumes into the RC300, but I want to be able to send the Sound guy signals he can control both the guitar and mic on his end and send me audio via the monitors back to the stage. Is there a splitter I can use coming out of the RC 300 audio outs?
Hey mate, yes just send you mic output to the Main LR and your Guitar output to the SUB LR. That way you have 2 separate sends to DI to the Sound Engineer.
hey mate, the RC30 doesn't affect the gain at all so just treat the guitar input to your mixer as if you were plugging your guitar in direct:) hope that helps!
Hello my friend. First of all, congratulations on the content. It is very good to have people like you who are willing to help. I have the following problem: I can separate all the RC300 tracks on my mixer by doing the following: 1. I direct track 1 to SUB and turn the PAN to L; 2. I direct track 2 to SUB and turn the PAN to R; 3. I direct track 3 to MAIN and see PAN to L; 4. I turn my guitar on at input R, and it automatically comes out only at MAIN at output R; With that, I get a separate equalization for each pedal output! The problem in question is THE CLICK! This only gives me an option to TOTALLY map to MAIN or TOTALLY to SUB! Is there any way to make it come out separately tmb? Is there an alternative to hearing a separate click? I say that, because it doesn't work to use an EXTERNAL click (from another program, application or pedal) because you can never sync 100% with the loops, it would have to be the CLICK of the RC 300 itself.
Hey mate, this is great! thanks for sharing it:) I love my stereo signal too much to mono my input personally but that makes it very usable. I don't use a click so I'm not much help there. It would be AMAZING if you could also route stuff to the headphone output. Not sure if you can do this with the click but it certainly would be helpful. Ultimately if you really need the click you could record something (along to a seperate click) that could ACT as the click when you overdub everything else in the loop. its a workaround but might be the only option if you need it.
@@carlwockner Unfortunately the click has no PAN options as in the recording channel options :-( I contacted Boss to try a solution, and if they answer me, I will return here to share! Thanks for giving us your knowledge, man ...
Thanks for the vid. I'm a total noob to the looping process. Just picked up a used rc300. I'm not looking to play live, just jam in my studio. Stupid question... Do I run my output from my guitar to the looper and then to my amp? Or amp first? I have a mixer as well but not sure if I need it. Just acoustic and vocals
@@carlwockner yes I know you have a head rush but the rc600 has 9pedals and 3 pages! So it might save some money on things and comes with 4 input and track effects!
You have no idea how much I've searched the web for this!! Thank you! Legend 🙌 from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Please ! Answer! What output do I need to use for connecting audio recorder for record ALL audio ( guitar and voice ) from looper to audio recorder and next de-connect and save wav/mp3 to PC
Just use the main outputs from the looper. If you’re recording then you will need a recording interface.
Bro! I think you should do one for the Headrush Looperboard. I messaged you on IG about it haha.
If I may share the product of my reflection on the matter...
Not to diminish the advice you give in this video in any way.
I've been working on my live looping setup for a while now, since it uses several different acoustic instruments, and I want the sound engineer of each venue to keep control of the sound of each of the 6 instrument separately to make them sound great in the room's specific acoustics.
I decided to go down a quite intricate path maybe, but basically I purchased an audio interface with 8 ins and 10 outs (ok, there are more, but those are the instruments ones).
Instead of a looper I use Ableton Live and it's looper effect. Each microphone is routed to it's own track, has its own router (or several depending), and each track, including native signal and loops of that instrument, is routed to one of the outs of the interface, which I then send to the PA.
For the venue, it's quite straight forward: each instrument gets its own channel, ad what I do with the signal on it's way to their XLR cable is mine to deal with....
Hi mate! Thanks for the comment - yours is an ideal situation for sure. Id even go to the extent (if you haven't already) by adding a rack digital mixer to your rig such as the MR18 or the X32 rack. That way you can accept the 10 outs of your interface and mix the FOH accordingly. So in most scenarios you have adjusted the gain staging / eq / rack etc.. That way you can just patch into FOH from your console, OR worst case, just send a Stereo LR from your Rack Mixer (with or without a Sub bus). My experience with the multiple outputs (which is why Ive kept mine to 5 for most scenarios) is that either the venue hasnt got enough channels, OR (what is most often the case) its a quick festival / venue stage flip changeover and its too much for the sound engineer to comprehend (even though its actually quite simple > set the gain stage and push the fader) they want to be too controlling and my set suffers tone from it. HOWEVER ideally yes your setup would have the best outcome with total control for sure! congrats on dialing it all in. I actually was going to head down that path if it wasn't for this headrush Looper pedal. I like the idea of a standalone option.
@@carlwockner Standalone is all I trust.
Carl, you kind of blazed through that info kind of fast which I know was your intention but did you say that you'll run your guitar straight to your DI box first? So if I understand correctly your running from your guitar to the DI to the looper; then routing the master output of the looper to a DI and then the PA?
Cheers for keeping the videos funky and informative!
Gerimaya Whyte yes that’s right. So guitar to DI to mixer. Then the link out of that guitar DI into the looper. Mute the input on the looper. Then run all tracks into separate DIs:)
@@carlwockner Cool, so you're basically bypassing using the RC 300 in any mixing capacity by sending instruments to dedicated DI boxes, then to the mixer but muting the input trim on the looperboard? From there is your signal straight from the looperboard to the PA? Sorry... Trying to make sure I've wrapped my head around this signal chain...
Yes for sure. Only if you want to separate More output options for mixing. Basically it just removes the inputs from the output of the looper. I don’t usually do this but it’s a heavy option if you wanna go that route:)
Thanks Carl. How do you split your guitar (a mono instrument out) to two signals? 1 to PA, 1 to looper? Cheers. Andy
Hey mate, you can use a splitter or just a DI works well to split the signal.
Carl I need some help. I want to run a guitar and mic with fixed audio input volumes into the RC300, but I want to be able to send the Sound guy signals he can control both the guitar and mic on his end and send me audio via the monitors back to the stage. Is there a splitter I can use coming out of the RC 300 audio outs?
Hey mate, yes just send you mic output to the Main LR and your Guitar output to the SUB LR. That way you have 2 separate sends to DI to the Sound Engineer.
Having trouble balancing the gain from guitar to rc30 into the mixer aaaany chance you could do a quick video please
hey mate, the RC30 doesn't affect the gain at all so just treat the guitar input to your mixer as if you were plugging your guitar in direct:) hope that helps!
Hello my friend. First of all, congratulations on the content. It is very good to have people like you who are willing to help.
I have the following problem:
I can separate all the RC300 tracks on my mixer by doing the following:
1. I direct track 1 to SUB and turn the PAN to L;
2. I direct track 2 to SUB and turn the PAN to R;
3. I direct track 3 to MAIN and see PAN to L;
4. I turn my guitar on at input R, and it automatically comes out only at MAIN at output R;
With that, I get a separate equalization for each pedal output! The problem in question is THE CLICK!
This only gives me an option to TOTALLY map to MAIN or TOTALLY to SUB! Is there any way to make it come out separately tmb? Is there an alternative to hearing a separate click? I say that, because it doesn't work to use an EXTERNAL click (from another program, application or pedal) because you can never sync 100% with the loops, it would have to be the CLICK of the RC 300 itself.
Hey mate, this is great! thanks for sharing it:) I love my stereo signal too much to mono my input personally but that makes it very usable. I don't use a click so I'm not much help there. It would be AMAZING if you could also route stuff to the headphone output. Not sure if you can do this with the click but it certainly would be helpful. Ultimately if you really need the click you could record something (along to a seperate click) that could ACT as the click when you overdub everything else in the loop. its a workaround but might be the only option if you need it.
@@carlwockner Unfortunately the click has no PAN options as in the recording channel options :-( I contacted Boss to try a solution, and if they answer me, I will return here to share! Thanks for giving us your knowledge, man ...
I play a lot instruments, trying to use Headrush Looping board,,but can't figure out how to hook up to p.a.
To use Mic into main and guitar into an Amp don't use the Mic input and use an adapter to make mic a 1/4 inch input?
Yea that is if you pan the outputs and use a separate mic preamp. But I’d recommend using the mic input since it has the preamp.
Thanks for the vid. I'm a total noob to the looping process. Just picked up a used rc300. I'm not looking to play live, just jam in my studio.
Stupid question... Do I run my output from my guitar to the looper and then to my amp? Or amp first? I have a mixer as well but not sure if I need it. Just acoustic and vocals
can run it either. depends if you want the loops to be before the amp or if you want the amp sound in your loops.
@@carlwockner I appreciate the reply. Im setting it up tonight and gonna start exploring. Pretty stoked
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should get an rc600
I have a Headrush:) when I made that video the RC300 was still top dog❤️🤙🏼
@@carlwockner yes I know you have a head rush but the rc600 has 9pedals and 3 pages! So it might save some money on things and comes with 4 input and track effects!
A matrix mixer.
Trying to use so my sister and I can sing without me playing live. Help
Try my live looping course mate, sounds like it could help get you more comfortable with the looper🤙🏼
You should make a second channel for that. Don't split your audience. It really messes with the algorithm. You lose a lot of momentum
