Hi, useful video as always. What about adding let say reverb to the drums (I just switched from RC500 to RC600 and reverb on drums was very simple to use). Thks ;)
My issue is reverb and looping. I make ambient music. I want dense long verb on my vocals before and after looping. Input verb tail will be cut off on loops endings, so input verb in my opinion is completely useless. Track verb seems to not work at all on the monitor input vocals, I.e before anything is looping. which makes sense, It’s only going to work on a loop that is playing. so what I want is essentially a reverb send, i.e. the kind of send you would have in DAW. When I turn it on, my input vocals have reverb, when I record a loop the loop vocals have the reverb, but the reverb is not recorded to the loop, so the tail is not going to get cut off when the loop restarts.
@@AdamFBuchanan personally, I use the rec>dub option when recording, which can fix this issue depending on how long the reverb trails are. But it's not ideal for everyone.
@@RossGallagherMusicthat would mean when you finish whatever your doing(multiple dubs or not) you then have to always wait for the tail ton finish’s before turning off dub (and also can’t record any new track loop that uses same input)? Sorry I think I asked this original question on a few videos 😅
Hey Ross your videos have helped me a lot . I'm wondering is there a way to have that effect on Mike 1 all the time without having to switch it on? So that it's saved inside a memory setting that each time I use mic one the compressor is always on?
Hi Ross, thanks for the video! Just received my RC600 and I'm trying to set the fx as you show here in the video. But my FX 4 doesn't do anything. I've set it up as you explained, but the button doesn't switch on (or off) the effect block, it does nothing when I tap it. Any suggestion? could the button be assigned to something else from factory that would prevent it being used as this fx switch? Cheers!
Hey thank you for the job! I have a question: I want to control delay effect (on and off) with the pedal 9 , on mode one/ and I want this delay to go just on my input instruments not on the all loop. Can you tell me how to do ? thank you so much. sorry for the English , I'm a French guy.
Hi Laura, I don't believe it's possible to apply FX across the entire system, but what I do recommend is to create a template you're happy with containing all your FX, and then 'copy and paste' this template to your desired memories. If you haven't yet looked at the RC Editor, it's a great piece of software that will allow you to do many things you can't do just with the unit. Including copying assigns, FX, and settings to multiple/all memories, with just the click of a mouse. This might be a useful tool for you. Hope this helps. Ross
Hi, I've got a question: I use microphone 1 and a specific reverb and delay as fx and have it all go through the headphone output (which my band uses for the full in ear mix). Is it possible to send out the fx without the dry signal to another output as well? I'm using a splitter before going into the Roland RC600 so the soundengineer has the dry vocal but I want to send him the applied fx so he can blend it in while still hearing the dry vocal through the headphone output.
@wiebertjeen a good workaround for this would be to use an internal FX loop in the RC. For example; run into Inst 1L and route this to designated tracks and to its own output for the dry signal e.g sub out 1L. Then use that output to send to the sound engineer. You could then run sub out 1R with the same signal, back in to Inst 1R, and route that to tracks and through the FX you wish to use. This is all assuming you have enough inputs and outputs available, but it could be worth looking into! Ross
Thank for this video! What if you what your compression assigned to your inst 1 and inst 2? Bacause maybe you have a layer of bass and then you play the guitar? Would you need to use a track effect for the bass and then input for the guitar? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the comment. You can apply Input FX (up to 4 at a time) to any instrument or microphone and then these FX will be recorded to the track. The track FX are only applied after the loop has been recorded which means the Track FX won't take effect when being performed live. Hope this helps, Ross
You still making videos topman? Really appreciate your tutorial videos 👌 literally out the box yesterday, working on getting it set up, quick question can I apply a pedal (rc600 or external) to play a one shot variation of the drum pedal?
Absolutely! There's always things to talk about with this unit, so plenty more videos to come. If I understand correctly, you'd like to set up a pedal to play a kick sound or something along those lines?
@@RossGallagherMusic Not a single drum sample as such, you know when you move the "variation" switch it does a drum fill onto the next one. Assigning a pedal for such a thing to make the drumming sound more organic changing between parts of a song or at particular parts. Thanks for the speedy reply mate, thought you'd be out gigging haha 👍😎
Question: my headphone output has a very poor quality. I make sure i have < 100 output, my input (guitar) < 100. Once i record a loop, the quality on the headphone is poor (and very low volume), the output whatsoever on my amp is of good quality Any chance you had a similar issue? Am I missing something basic? Thanks for you reply in advance. PS: your videos are really helpful and instructive!
Hi there, I can't say that I've had that issue myself. Is the quality of the recording poor, or just through the headphones? Have you tested another set of headphones by chance? Also, perhaps try to adjust the input/output levels to see if that's causing an issue. Ross
Hello Master! So if a plug a guitar, a bass and a mic into the rc600, assigned to track1-2-3, play with the others simultaneously, can each member have 4 different effects on, or only 1 each and a “spare”?
Press the left and right arrow buttons whilst on your main display screen, to switch between the different display options. I believe you can also do this within the main settings menu.
I’m so confused - what is the difference between track A and track 1? And why did you mention 4 input fx, A B C and D, when on the machine it only says A B and C (no D)?
Tracks are labelled as numbers (1-6) and FX are labelled A-C for input FX and the same for track FX. There are 4 FX, so you can access FX D, but due to the layout of pedals on the unit, you can only turn on or off FX A-C by default. Ross
You could send the Dynamics Input FX just to your Mic input via the INSERT option shown in the video. If you want it going to both Mics, you'd have to use 2 different FX, unless you go to your INPUT settings and turn on Stereo Link for the Mic inputs. This just means that your mic inputs will act as one and whatever you do to one, will also affect the other. Hope this helps. Ross
Thanks for this. Have you had any glitches when trying to insert an input effect on all inputs? I had a similar set up as per your video inserting a harmony input effect just on the Mic 1 (which worked). But when I tried to insert a reverb on all inputs, the reverb effect switched off (despite the display lighting up the reverb effect to indicate it's activated). I dialled it back to insert on just one instrument input (guitar) and the reverb came on again. I'm sure this was working across all inputs, but it seems like sometimes it flicks back to not working. Any clues?
@@RossGallagherMusic Yes, I have all instrument inputs (and rhythm) routing to all the left outputs and both mic inputs routing to right outputs, so you seem to have nailed it thanks Ross. How did you find out? Do you know if Boss/Roland are aware of this issue?
@Finn Ambers no problem at all. This has come up a few times on the BOSS RC-600 Facebook group, so if you've not already joined, I recommend taking a look. I'm not sure if BOSS are aware but I believe they do monitor these groups so it's something they might be looking at. Ross
My impression is that if you could speak twice as slow and add an example of actual use of what you are talking about, the effectiveness of your guide to the viewer can increase. On the other hand speedy talking has an advantage of not making audience to fall asleep... It's a matter of speaker personality as well... you are not feel to me like a boring person :)
Thanks for the feedback. You can always adjust the playback speed to 0.75x, which will help slow down the speed of dialogue and help you to digest information.
Thanks for sharing. One important thing to note: you are talking about sending effects, but you are inserting effects, not sending them. This is common basic terminology related to mixing. Send insert effect is non-sense. You insert effect to a track/input or you send effect from a channel. Effect is inserted OR sent. So when you are talking about sending insert effect you are either technically wrong and its very confusing. I was expecting that its possible to send effect on RC 600, but its possible only to insert effect ... fix at least video title "how to assign insert FX..." or "how to insert FX to selected ..." :) Thanks again, regards!
Have you changed the polarity settings on the side of the FS-7? Sometimes if you experiment with those and then change the assign from toggle to moment, this could solve your issue.

That is understood. But how to use more than 4 input effects to separate instruments in the loop? Is there a trick, to add Bank B to Bank A?
