I really like how you do.
Bass sounds good.
Excellent demo.
I have an Aeros and the Beat Buddy.
Taught me a bit.
Thanks.
Happy to hear you liked it and got something out of it! Many thanks Walter!
I got one! Awesome! I’ve been make some money with beatbuddy and now Im learning looping on Aero.
Excellent demo, thank you!!!
Thank you and my pleasure!
Thank you!!!! I’ve been waiting for someone to do a detailed walk-through of setting up the Aeros! Nicely done! And thank you for not starting with describing the 2x2 vs 6x6 modes like everyone else.
You’re very welcome! Really glad to hear this was helpful for you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
So AWESOME to see you play! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge & talent
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic explanation
Thanks, glad it was helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to produce and post this. Just got an Aeros, a Beat Buddy, and the Singular Sound Midi foot controller. Definitely a learning curve to climb integrating all of them into my guitar playing and singining as a live performance tool, but that's the nature of musical instruments - they take time, discipline, and dedication to master. Especially the guitar lol. BTW - Outstanding playing brother - very fluid and melodic. Guessing this isn't just a hobby for you... ;-)
My pleasure! And thanks very much for the kind words! You’re spot on. It really does take time, discipline, and dedication. The process is really fun though! Gotta enjoy the journey right?! Yes, it’s more than a hobby for me. My love for it just continues to grow, especially with all the cool gear around these days!
Great demo!!! Beautiful music too
Thanks a bunch David!
Super awesome vid - very helpful! And great performance 👍
Thanks so much, glad it was helpful!
Excellent video and playing! Thanks
Many thanks! And you’re quite welcome!
This is my next purchase with the beat buddy included. The short loop length in my Helix is killing me. Great for short little jams, but really needing some extended loop time. Singular Sound built a sexy little beast with this unit.
The Aeros combined with the Beat Buddy is a powerful setup! Aeros has PLENTY of loop length IMO so you’ll be good to go.
Nice work thank you!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
Great job man.
Thanks a bunch!
I love your. Music style that looper its something else. I love it great video
Thank you very much!
One man band! Sounds great.
Thanks! Not quite as gratifying as the 7 piece, but fun and challenging for sure.
Dude, that's amazing! Sounds great.
Indeed! Many thanks!
Best and most informative video out there -👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
@@ColinGaileyGuitar thanks to this video I finally got my Aeros settings the way I need them - thanks again 👏👏
Awesome to hear, my pleasure!
Thanks for this great demo, Colin. You ROCK!!!
My pleasure! Having lots of fun with this one!
Hi Colin. First time viewer to your channel. Really, really nice demo of the Aeros. Clear and well thought out explanation of it's functions and capabilities. (Good playing, too) Would you have a thought as to whether I could hook this into my laptop via a usb/midi interface and have my drum software follow the Aeros? Or vice-versa? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Mark! I don’t think you’ll be able to control the Aeros from your drum software unless it can send midi cc’s. Vice-versa may be possible but I can’t say for sure. Many new features have been added via firmware releases since I did this video. I’d recommend taking a look at the Aeros manual as well as the Singular Sound forum. Hope you find your answers soon!
@@ColinGaileyGuitar Thanks for the quick reply, Colin. Have you moved on from Aeros, or are you still using it?
No problem! Yes, I moved on to Ableton Live for looping. If I was just relying on a pedal, I would’ve stuck with the Aeros.
I found that when I set it to mono and I play some premium content from singular sound it’s not the right patterns for the artists songs , but set to stereo everything is perfect, maybe I’m just dumb and have something else set wrong, but ether way I absolutely love my new Areos !
Hmm that’s very strange. I’d recommend posting this to the Singular Sound forum. Good to hear your digging your Aeros!
Colin, thank you for this video. can you explain how you hooked up the aeros looper specifically to the fx3 oil the back of the unit, i am struggling with it being new to this. thanks jv
You’re welcome! I connected the Aeros to the Axe Fx III using Input/Output 2 so I could place it at the end of my signal chain. This way you can switch between tones without it affecting previous loops.
Sounds great! I have the morningstar mc8 and wondering if the aeros is fully controllable via your RJM (and hopefully my mc8)?
Thanks! At the time of this firmware the Aeros was not 100% controllable through midi. That being said, most of the major functions can be tied to midi control via midi cc’s. Check the Aeros manual’s midi section to see what can currently be done. And yes, the Morningstar MC8 should work great!
Hey great review. If you get more in depth into the Aeros I would like to know best way to connect mics to loop vocal sections (as aeros has no mic preamp or phantom power).
Thanks! Two ways you could go here: 1. Use a mixer for your vocal mic(s) and use the mixer’s aux out to feed the input or aux in on the Aeros. 2. Get a small single channel mic pre like the Rolls MP13 to feed directly into the input or aux in of the Aeros. Hope that helps!
Way to take the time and discuss the Settings set up, other videos not doing that. You are a monster player btw!
My pleasure! Thank you very much!
Hello thank you for your information one question what are you using to change the sound to bass or another instrument
You’re welcome! I used a Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III for all the sounds except the drum loop. I used the pitch block to drop the guitar down an octave for bass sounds and used the synth block along with some reverb and delay to create the synth pad sound. Thanks for watching!
on the back of the fx3
Great demo, just got me one recently. Wondering if you could point me in the right direction. My set-up is very basic connecting guitar into Areos then into my Katana 50. What do I need in my set-up to use the different affects from the Katana on different tracks or overdubs? At present if I change from say clean tone to lead, every track changes.
Thanks Greg! Ideally, you’d put the Aeros in an FX loop to take advantage of the different tones you switch between like clean and lead.
Thanks Colin,
Damm, Katana 50 I have dose not have FX Loop. Looks like I'm up for a replacement modelling amp 👍🤣
There are certainly other options! You could also use a mixer or many powered PA speakers have a couple channel inputs. This way you could change tones without it effecting the output. Check out the example setups in the Aeros manual.
@@ColinGaileyGuitar
This is how I do.
My amp doesn’t have a direct out, so I mic my amp and send that to a mixer.
Then you can change the tone on the amp and keep the original track coming out your pa.
Clever approach!
I'm using an RJM MMGT as well and am looping the Aeros looper. Is it possible to trigger saved loops/.samples on the Aeros looper via midi buttons on the RJM?
I’m fairly certain this is possible. You just need to find the correct midi CC/PC numbers in the Aeros manual.
What are you using for your bass sounds? I have a BoSS OC5 that just isn’t cutting it.
Hey Mikael, I’m using the Fractal Audio Axe Fx III. To emulate a bass, I pitch the guitar down an octave, add a substantial cut to the high EQ using either a shelf or low pass filter, then run it through a bass amp & cab simulation. Here’s a link to a video where I go over this in detail. th-cam.com/video/VlQXaJqreyo/w-d-xo.html
COLIN , HOW DO I SET IT UP FOR A LEAD IN , LIKE A 1,2,3,4 GO TYPE OF THING. INSTEAD OF IT RECORDING AS SOON AS I PRESS RECORD????
The “Count In” option is in settings. You can choose how many measures you want as a count in but be aware this only applies to the first track in a song part.
What is that effects pedal board you are using? How does that compare with the Midi Maestro?
The pedal board is an RJM Mastermind GT10 which is just a midi controller. All the amp tones and effects are coming from the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III. In my opinion, RJM makes the best midi foot controllers by a long shot. Great interface, easy to program, and more capabilities than any other controller I know of.
@@ColinGaileyGuitar thanks for the info! I’ll check it out
I am so confused 😕 on how to even wire this up with my digitech rp1000 my 2 wah pedals to my Marshall halfstack....I have no clue
I already paid my friend 50 bucks to help me lol I at least got it hooked up. But not at the most efficient way
I understand! It can definitely be confusing getting everything hooked up. How you connect everything depends on how you’re using that gear. Are you using any overdrive from the RP1000 or just the Marshall overdrive? The simplest method would be to just connect the looper last in your chain. In other words, last thing into the amp. It can be a little more complex depending on your needs but start there and see how that works.
@@ColinGaileyGuitar I'm not sure what overdrive means....Rp1000 2 wah pedals and yeah I chained looper last but the loop was not cutting through well enough at all....Thank you for your response.
Overdrive AKA Distortion AKA Gain. The reason I asked is many times people will want to play chords with a clean tone and then switch to a higher gain sound to play over the loop. This can cause your loop to change tone as well if it’s not hooked up in the right way. If your loop is too quiet, raise the level using the loop volume slider on the right.
Dude what update do you have? I cannot get this thing to do a free form loop at all... It leaves a gap (almost a full measure) on a riff like "Drive" from Incubus....
I’m pretty sure it was version 3.2. at the time of this video, it was the first firmware release to have the lock track function. That’s frustrating it’s leaving a gap! Are you using the latest firmware? If so have you tried rolling back to an older firmware? If you’ve already tried both of those things and still having a gap I’d recommend posting in their forum. They’re usually pretty quick to respond. Good luck, let me know how it works out!
@@ColinGaileyGuitar yeah I narrowed it down to the tempo... I can’t disable it to be truly free form like I do on my RC300.
Latest firmware on there. I was just able to loop super easy songs (as long as the tempo is correct).
I think that is the biggest drawback for using this thing the way I hoped to..
You sure you’ve got it set up correctly? Tempo should be irrelevant in free form mode. At about 7:18 in my demo I’m using free form without tempo or quantize. If you have the pedal hooked up to a beat buddy or external midi clock it will automatically conform to tempo otherwise free form should work like your RC300.
@@ColinGaileyGuitar interesting. I haven’t been able to disable the tempo feature- but Quantize if off and loop sequence sync is off... not sure what switch I’m missing?
If you don’t have any midi devices plugged into the pedal and the particular song setting you’re using is set to free form than it sounds like you’ve done everything correctly. Wish I could be more help but at this point the forum is probably your best bet. Hope you’re able to get what you want out of it!
Wait!... 00:2:30 time limit?
Yep, afraid so. I didn’t find it limiting for my style of looping, is that a game changer for you?
Things they wont tell you: You have to edit every single loop by hand to put them in your Daw or they won't line up. There is no Auto Quantize even tho it is advertised as so, if you are used to using the boomerang pigtronix EH Mxr Ditto or boss loopers for live use with no external midi clock or tap tempo for everything, too bad for you. The expression jack doesn't work. The Bluetooth doesn't work. The usb doesn't work. The volume wheel is problematic. There is a 2.5 minute limit on all tracks. You can't import from Daw therefore no backing tracks. Midi is crazy town right now. There is more, just start reading on the gear page or SS forums. This product may be awesome 2 years from now (the hardware is promising)... maybe even one year from now, until then stay Away! Nothing against the people who have reviewed this product... but find people who have not been sent free units and kick back from SS. There you will find more honest reviews. Until they hire a competent software dev team you are paying a lot to be a beta tester.
Yes, the pedal does have some flaws. That said, I spent a lot of time with it and the missing features you mentioned didn’t prevent me from getting a musical result. As with most pieces of gear, It just comes down to individual needs and preferences. My biggest complaint is that it was a bit tricky to use 6x6 mode without individual buttons for song parts. I found that was an easy fix combining the Aeros with another Midi Foot Controller. Also, I gave this presentation purely on interest, no compensation or free unit from the company. My opinions are completely unbiased and always will be. Personally, I feel SS is doing strong work with the Aeros. It’s not perfect, but I found it to be an inspiring pedal. And I think it will get better and better as time goes on. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I hope the company continues to listen to people like you.
I sent mine back after a week since it would not sync with my Roland drum machine which I have over 100 songs stored. Also I wanted to play different time signatures on same song without jumping to another program. I’ve used boss loopers over 16 years, and wanted to downsize my large boss for travel. I picked up the new boss rc500. It’s manageable but has some problems as well, but is half the cost and has large storage. My back feels better with the boss and the new fender GTX 100. My 46th year playing guitar 🎸!
Maybe dust it off before making a video...looks like somebody dropped cigarette ashes all over it
Oof. I don’t know what happened. I guess somewhere in the 167 foot taps a spec or two of dust somehow made it’s way from my shoe to the pedal. Weird. It’s my dream to one day have an on set pedal duster. Perhaps if I can reach 1000 subs this dream can be a reality…
