I guess... I will buy a loopstation now

[@jwdeepsky]

Yeah exactly

[@GreaterOperator]

Only scratches the surface of what it does and can do. Brez your covers are inspiring. Thank you

[@gianlucav3717]

Watching this video with my rc 505 on my side, i bought it several months ago because of you and your tutorials! Thanks!

[@shanebob618]

This is exactly what I need to know. Thanks for helping us out and answering all the questions in the comments, you're a real one.

[@mrshon3858]

Man thank you so much ive been trying to figure out how to connect it with my guitar and amp and its the only guide i found on youtube that actually showed and explained

[@shanebob618]

I've been debating on buying this and I'm happy to say I just ordered it today. Can't wait to have some fun with it, thanks for the info BreZ.

[@viralshark]

how was your experience? do you like it?

[@-themercyseat]

Have been looking to buy one. Did you get it? What is your opinion on the device?

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

I've had a RC505 for nearly 4 years now. You have shown me that I'm barely using it to the potential it has. Up until now I've been using the effects on the output. I didn't even look on the other side to see that there are effects for the input. I also didn't know that it's an audio interface as well. I'm away from my studio atm but when I get back there are quite a few things I'm going to try with mine. I was going to get a SP404 to put effects on my samples before I sequence them in my MPC2000XL but I have a feeling that the RC505 will do the job that I want the SP404 to do. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work. Subbed.

[@mukund996]

Hey BreZ, thank you sooo much for this vid bro wanted to start looping and get this but dint know what to expect and how to start looping this vid was just what i needed to buy it and what to look forward thenks bro! keep up with the great uploads !

If you are at all interested in this sort of thing, it is a definite "YES!". Get this loopstation. So many possibilities. Brez does a good job of its introduction. Worth every penny.

Thanks for the video, i've been eyeing the rc202 for a while now, so this helps a lot.

[@pattip8110]

I have the 202 and now want to switch it out for the 505..thanks for your vids🙌🏽

[@RutiCelli]

Good for everyone to know that it is possible to use this as a floor pedal using your toe. I play the cello (sitting down mostly) and after trying I didn’t like the feel of the rc300 since my feet are always bare while needing to access more features on the pedal. It’s great I highly recommend other cellist to try it out

[@thepoofster2251]

Got my 505 coming in the mail! Sooo excited

[@worldgenre]

Just got mine yesterday can't wait to start messing with it

[@Raiderhays37]

It took me two years to find the MKII station. It just wasn't available anywhere. I finally got one this Christmas and cannot wait to see what I can do with it. It came with European outlet plug so I haven't been able to use it yet since I am in the USA. I just picked up the US adapter yesterday. I'm pretty pumped.

[@tmy2913]

I might get one in the future, it takes a lot of practice to make loops but practice makes perfect.

[@medicouncut285]

Thank bro such info Hope to see more intresting content from this channel

[@joemonroe1106]

Im a guitar player / keyboard player and I use the 505. It is invaluable and I actually prefer using it vs floor loopers. I like having all the controls right in front of me.

[@darrinsiberia]

Does it have a metronome so you can make sure your loops will fit your song. I am thinking of using it in a live performance but precording a loop and then playing the loop in the middle of the song (so I can do other stuff)

[@Gazeld]

@@darrinsiberia yes it has an internal drum machine that among its patterns has several metronome patterns (added to the pre-record or pre-play clicks that you also can activate).

[@PrinceKoopa.]

Yes im so much like you lmao

[@EnochDark]

this is like one of the easiest things to learn...

You could try the basic pedal and go from there, the basic pedal just has one loop, and people make decent music just with that.

Just bought the RC-505 after hesitating for months. Cant wait to get it! I also bought a Shure-SM8 to accompany it, but I’m not sure if it was the best mic to get. So excited! Thank you for great content and music BreZ!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Yes the SM8 is the best mic to get. They don't call it the industry standard for nothing.

[@throatwarblermangrove2077]

Nice, Mixcraft is my DAW for most things. I was all set to pre-order the MKII, but after watching a few of your vids I don't know if I want to wait or if I want to just grab the current version. As a newbie I probably won't be missing too many new features of the MKII.

[@ghost_in_the_robot]

Do you still use Mixcraft by chance? Most people I know don't use it, but I love the interface and how simple it is, yet powerful at the same time. Do you know any good websites for resources like plugins for it? Thx

[@yousifgaminguniverse4429]

Man that was really helpful thanks .

[@georgekempson670]

I use mine by creating the tracks in logic Pro, then mixing down the part i need, pretty much the drums, bass and and atmospheric samples i use. I load the wav file into the first pad on the 505 and jam along to that with my synths in a live situation. My problem is that when the track finishes (3 - 5 minutes long), it starts up again, so i have to hit the stop button pretty quick. This doesn't happen on all of the tracks, i have a wav file in each pad. The first three stop and don't start again but the last two do. It's obvious there's a setting i'm missing that the first three track have but the last two don't. Cam you advise please. Ps; i call the start buttons from 1 - 5 pads, sorry for any confusion. Cheers.

Merci de consacrer du temps pour faire des vidéos tutos/explications, c'est cool franchement ! N'étant pas un grand beatboxer, mais un accro à la musique, j'essaye de bien me renseigner avant, pour ne pas non plus acheter un truc que je vais jamais utiliser donc tes vidéos aident beaucoup ! Mais je pense quand même que je vais me laisser tenter, ça fait des années et des années que je suis la communauté beatbox et ce sont les battles de loop que je kiff le plus !! Il reste plus qu'à valider mon panier sur Thomann :) D'ailleurs est ce que t'as un code promo ou un lien affilié peut être ? Prend soin de toi !

Merci ! Oui le lien sur Thomann est un lien d'affiliation ^^. C'est que 4% mais c'est déjà ça lol

[@GaryLucasMusic]

Thanks for this review! I've had mine for a week now and love the functionality! My only problem is the overall sound quality seems harsh and shrill. Might this be due to the 16 bit audio vs 24 or 32? Or some other reason? I wish I could get past this issue but all I hear are irritating frequencies as I'm recording in and hearing back.

[@BreZBeatbox]

Mmh I don't know about that mate !

[@SpiritBeatbox]

Maybe your microphone is not really good and that's why

[@jdpower6360]

I love the effects and options this looper has. I make music with synths, drum machines and guitars. Would anyone recommend this or one of the other Boss loopers. Would this be more capable than the others with an added foot switch?

[@arianjabari3448]

awesome like always .. keep it up. by the way can we sync the loopstation with more than 1 device or it has limits

[@BreZBeatbox]

You can but you must sync the 3rd device in the 2nd device ^^

hey i dont know if youll respond this late but what microphone do you use for this looper now? im trying to get a good mic for my 505 and headset

[@craigmorton644]

If you use pad 1 and start with a sound and add more sounds on pad 1 can I use only the full overall sound on pad 1 or can I go to say the first loop on pad1 before I overdub Ed with more loops?

[@BreZBeatbox]

Yes it needs to be plugged to work it doesn't work on batery and no you don't need an MPC. ;)

[@AZTEC_ARTS2023]

Is this the MK2 model ? Could i plug in a separate keyboard to it ?

[@bakerman3039]

Brez can you please help me!!!! When you record your beat in this video on the first track, you just record 1 bassdrum and 1 snare. But on the track it is automatically copied a second time before the red lights are full. So this first track obviously goes 1 measure but you record just a half measure and it's copying the second half automatically to the recording. I can't reproduce this on my loopstation . If I set the measure auto -> it records just 1 bassdrum and 1 snare. If I set the measure to 1, it records after the bass and the snare only silence. It doesn't fill the measure with another bass and snare.

[@HeathbarPlays]

I started off with the Kaoss Pad KP3 and transitioned to the RC505 shortly after. Best decision I ever made! One thing I haven't figured out though, is how to do what some TikTok users and such do. In other words, how to record the audio directly from the machine while recording video that syncs up with it of me creating the track. I've never been a video editor so half the time I just record audio with my phone that comes from my studio monitors. NOT the most idea lol.

[@BreZBeatbox]

I guess they record in a software and then lipsync ! That's what I would do !

Now that the Mk2 is on it's way, would you recommend waiting for that or would you still recommend the regular RC505?

Depends what your intentions are. I think if you just want to get started with looping, finding a RC505 for 300 euro in second hand is a pretty good idea. If your aim is to immediately try hard to enter battles, wait for the MK2
