So , no vocals into your mixer?... I’m very inexperienced w this stuff,

[@booknoahgrove]

Lots of people do but I don’t

[@booknoahgrove]

I mix my vocal level on the Perform VG

[@dwstoeckel4740]

@@booknoahgrove I’m asking , because I’m running instruments into looper ( rc 500) , then out to mixer... I’ve been told to go the other way , but then my vocal would be “in the guitar loop” if I’m recording the loop while singing...or is that wrong??

@@dwstoeckel4740 you can do it that way, but I don’t like to because then you get live mic sounds mixed into your loops

@@dwstoeckel4740 to expand, birds flying by, cars, just the white noise of the mic, if you overdub a few times in a row it can get very cluttered and muddy and even start to feedback. If you do a live mic into your loops, you need to be sure it’s a VERY clean feed and probably the gain needs to be low. Running instruments direct, you can overdub 100 times on a loop and still have a clean mix. So I just made the choice to not use vocals in my loops.
