My Boss RC-505 MkII Looping Setup

[@Doctormix]

🇬🇧 "In The Loop” workshop 👉 dice.fm/partner/studio-9294/event/orp3a-in-the-loop-13th-oct-studio-9294-london-tickets 🇬🇧

[@charliekew]

Hey when's the next one? Would love to support something like this

[@toboartchannel]

This is, hands down, the most inspiring and captivating Boss RC-505MKII performance I’ve come across yet.

[@furiobisotti8150]

Only one comment. As usual: it's not the instrument. It's the skill of the human being making it play. Claudio can make a stone play music

[@jonlefurgey9297]

He is good! I wish I had his talent and abilities.

[@anonymousmc7727]

Ya he’s a stoner😂

[@klavtech2715]

I totally agree.

[@magicmulder]

True, but good gear can inspire and enhance your creativity. I feel I'm much more productive with a looping setup in Cubase than trying to compose and arrange an entire song the classical way (of course that comes once I'm happy with the looping result).

[@brenttauromusic]

The sonics of this video are actually insane. For a demonstrative video, this really sets the standard as far as organic instrumentation and skillful musicianship.

[@RobertForslund]

Man... You can throw a thousand instruments my way but I'll ALWAYS just LOVE that Rhodes... It's such a fantastic sound! ❤ 😛👍

[@richardervins]

You‘re absolutely right. I haven‘t come across any keyboard or sound generator that could replace the Rhodes. Just by using the specific mechanics and having the unique feel of the instrument is much more inspiring than using a surrogate. But then I haven‘t come across anything that could replace my B3, Wurly, acoustic and electric guitars, basses, banjos, ukes, blues harps, drums, timbales, congas, violins, kalimbas, saxes, accordions, tablas, sitars, buzoukis, mandolins, balalaikas, sakuhachis, tin whistles, bagpipes, vibraphones, celtic harps, double basses, trumpets, handpans, pedal steel guitars, spoons, ocarinas or didgeridoos…😁

[@cornbrains]

Dude, seriously, amazing. When I first started watching I thought "here we go, another hype man" but soon as you tickled the "ivory" I was blown away! Very inspiring and I cannot wait to explore the possibilities with my new RC-505. Subscribed and appreciating your work already.

[@rb8058]

Very cool to see in action. I’m always most amazed in Claudio’s videos by how well he effortlessly jams to his tracks. Probably a superior understanding of music theory at work there.

[@Sumbibebe]

Claudio, you have mastered the art of Making It Look So Easy!!

[@N-trepid1]

Hope you stream or record (for KZbin) your "In the Loop" event. Your global fans would love to virtually attend. Glad to see the XM (and the Boss) getting some Dr. Mix luv ; ) They are both fantastic pieces of (ROLAND) gear!

[@sirius6049]

Thanks for your videos I imagine you driving a spaceship with the sound of your instruments, there were even crystals and the surface of the spaceship was organic, so cool

[@donaldsmyth727]

Not only is this a very helpful tutorial to the RC505MKii but now I must check your original music - fantastic organic grooves, Doctor!

[@SharpblueCreative]

Back in the day we used a compressor limiter to do sidechaining - I love the simplicity with those

[@valleyken]

Wow that was a cool groove. And that Jupiter Xm looks like a very fine machine also.

[@kalgan2357]

Check out the XM, it is quite versatile, like a synth Swiss knife ...

[@funnyfromadam]

All nice all that hardware. Great gadgets and toys. But Doctor Mix is a great example of what you'll be capable of doing with it when you study music, learn to play piano and keep practising all your life. Such a great musician 👍🏽

[@78thandSynth]

Instant goodness. Thanks for this channel man. So fun.

[@tybernhardt2970]

id love to see a video of how you connected via midi to your TR-8S. im feeling overwhelmed navigating this process 😵‍💫

[@tronix_kwak]

Bro your positive energy just made me feel better! Thanks a lot!

[@AfterKai48]

that intro is too banger replayed like 3 times

[@tvfella]

I'm fairly certain that if you give Claudio a cardboard box, two pieces of bacon and a shoe, he would be able to write a film score.

[@lmagico]

You are happy when create music,this is best thing in the world,love to do what makes you happy🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎧

[@weaseltown]

I saw one of these loopers in use by a guy in a bar I'm Savannah several years ago. He had a strat, a mic, and a snare drum. But the shit he was doing on the fly with the looper was incredible. So cool, I've wanted one for a while but I'm not skilled like this guy.

[@user-tu8sn4gb9d]

i cant be the only one who cant help smiling when you start. such a great vibe man. reeespect

[@ThinkerThunker]

Great demo, you make it look too easy. Thanks!

[@pat_0248]

Great !!! improvisation, I love it, you're a chef, lol! full of talent

[@peterjones596]

Gutted I missed it, I would have been at work any way.. @Doctor Mix I want another dream gig, the last was awesome, more!! Oh, and the venue.... Well, you'd never have guessed who owned it was mega-rich... And it was so wonderful to meet you, too, big love, the tall guy that gladly shook your hand (and hoped that some of the magic rubbed off). And Ra-Ra, meet me there again, you were all this guy likes, an awful lot!

[@nzprojects]

Nice, i see you have TR8s there. I bought it 6 months ago and i loooove it. Now im saving for loop station cuz i love live looping. So good for night jamming with friends. 🎶👏🥂

[@defjeff2907]

I always wondered if you had a Tr-8S hiding with your other vintage drum machines. Thanks for the looping lesson!

[@DHawkBeats]

Alright you convinced me man that was awesome

[@thebmxband1t]

Seemingly a simple setup used by a real professional.

[@WarringPacifist]

Your videos are VERY INTERESTING! They make me want to pull out my own dusty old Casiotone electronic musical keyboard from the closet, and play with it ALL NIGHT LONG! 😎

[@SchoolOf5]

Great demonstration! You should add the FS6 pedal for the loop station, you can then free up your hands!

[@ManaNumberOne]

Hey Claudio. Do you know if the BPM thing on the RC-505 also works with the bit older TR-8?

[@lc2308]

You are amaaaaazzzzzziiiinnnnnggg!!! Yes you are, oh yes you are! I love that energy you spread when you into that vibes! And so talented!

[@ChrisP3000x]

Been asking for years if those 3 would do what's in the video, and nobody could answer. You probably just sold a million units. BTW, can you demonstrate song sections, key changes, and such?

[@hovermotion]

Amazingly enjoyable video. The TR8-Is my favourite drum machine so much fun to use...

[@frankliebe]

great gear that RC-505 MKii - I already had that on my list - but an ASM Hydrasynth wins currently... but I still want to have that Loop-Machine soon in my studio. best regards, Frank Liebe

[@LeneLarsenNorway]

So inspiring and uplifting 😂🎉

[@finnjuniperdenaro]

Wow Wow Dr. Mix laying some loops I Love it! Thanks for your contributions =)

[@KatherineAnnabella]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this…..

[@ryananthony4840]

Coming from the guitar world I have the trusty old RC-20XL looper pedal, haven't used it in years but I think it's time to blow the dust off it.....

[@mgldnb]

The sidechain trick is nice, I do the similar with the mpc

[@MindRabbits]

nice "Wakeman vs Wakeman" demo after intro ;)

[@saladdays180s9]

Thanks!

[@christianchall8169]

feeling sorry for not being in London, but if it is possible, please make a online workshop for that...this would be great...or a video...or a video......yeah...love👍❣

[@user-KORG]

Vokoder super!

[@faridboulehia7879]

Hello Doctormix, It's exceptional, can I have a vision of the connections and the configuration between the rc505mk2 with the jupiter xm? Cordially

[@danmcbmusic]

Great keyboard skills, nice harmonies. Really cool. Didnt really understand the syncing of things thouh.

[@Shaderdiceblock]

He is probably using midi to synchronize it

[@heliotron8042]

Beautiful! This one without a mixer? I thought the Boss preamp was bad. I have a JDXA, also with a vocoder, and I think that with a Loopstation MK2 and Circuit Tracks I can do the same clock sync. Any details on how to succeed with this configuration?

[@TheDoobiesnatcher]

Wow I could imagine underworld using this to come up with ideas

[@leonardlorm1060]

Ever for ever the best

[@flrn84791]

Great! A few things: - You can set up play/overdub so that after recording it goes directly into play, prevents unwanted overdubbing and having to push the button again. - No need for the TR-8S for side chain, just play around with the input/track step slicer effect! Have you played around with the internal vocoder effect? Do you find the jupiter vocoder is better?

[@OrSaar]

HOW COULD YOU USE THE STEP SLICER TO CREATE THE S.C. EFFECT

[@flrn84791]

@@OrSaar I'm not sure why you're reacting like that. It's basically just like a LFO tool, synthetic sidechain, obviously not reacting to the real kick, but in EDM real compressors are not that often used like that, rather LFO tool or similar, as the kick never changes.

[@JorisBokkerink]

Love this kind of 'explainer' video's and I love your energy... keep on posting this kind of stuff. I'm sorry I'm not in London this week, but... are you in the Amsterdam area next week (ADE) ????

[@playwithpassion]

2 seconds in..where tf is that like button man! :)

[@omarlyefook7798]

Such a freaking cool dude and the sounds!!!! Thanks Claudio xxx

[@forzaguy95]

Can you recreate Jan Hammer's Crockett's Theme? This song is so amazing!

[@jtf2dan]

Claudio...thank you so much for doing this....I just purchased the RC 505 mk 2 and havent hooked it up to anything yet. I also picked up a Roland MC-707 Groovebox and a Roland Phantom 6, so was trying to figure how which way best to connect them.

[@OrSaar]

If you need help via ZOOM im giving instructional lessons on loopers (rc-505mkii c-300) basic and advanced operation and gear setup

[@Scyber_Official]

2 seconds in & I thought it was gonna be remix of "Intergalactic" by The Beastie Boys! 😂💯

[@mikeringley]

Will the Boss Mk2 start recording when you hit your first note after you hit record/play or will it automatically start recording when you hit record/play?

[@AngryCalls]

So, if I had a nice microphone - a couple of tongue drums, some Native American flutes, a banjo, etc, could I get a 505 MKII and record it directly into my computer or do I need more expensive equipment?

[@GullySyde28]

When u played rhodes....Daamm

[@C.Faysal]

Hi Claudio. What mic and cable do you use for vocoder please?

[@ruscular]

I'm curious as well, do they perform as well as a Shure mic? I would love to see a breakdown of all the headphone mic shootout of recommendation.

[@chacals841]

Cool ! Yes london is near Orange France no ? I could be at octobr 13th to see you 😉 ! Ah, no, London is in UK, ah, ok, then, i will be october the 13th at Orange in France. 😪 But i will think i will be with you with my mind.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

I love my RC505 MKII. I was really surprised that with the huge number of FX in it, they didn't include a simple 4/4 sidechain compressor in there, driven off the tempo. Maybe a future firmware...

[@flrn84791]

You can use the built in effects to create one... Just play around with the step slice :)

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

@@flrn84791 Similar, but not the same thing. Step slicer cuts the volume down (or off) for a specific amount of time to the beat. Sidechain compressor compresses the audio, with a gradual attack and release, to the beat.

[@flrn84791]

​@@ScottsSynthStuff Well compression is just reducing gain at a certain threshold with a certain ratio, or depending on another signal's gain for side chaining. Which is why stuff like LFO tool or shaper are used for artificial side chaining when the kick is constant. So in the end still the same :) The step slicer might be more granular than an LFO tool, but still good enough for looping and live purposes.

[@robfxdls]

How do you find the faders? I just bought one and they are extremely flimsy. I may have a faulty unit.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

@@robfxdls they are all like that, I think to make them easy to flick on and off quickly? That's my guess, they were like that on the MKI as well.

[@brianwilson2904]

When are you going to bring your Red T-Shirt collection to Australia?

[@robfxdls]

@doctormix great work! Just a question about the faders. I just bought one and the faders are extremely flimsy with no resistance at all. Is this normal? I have several other products from BOSS and the build quality is usually pretty good. This is very disappointing if this is the case. Perhaps my unit is faulty out of the box.

[@Livengoodproject]

Very nice feel.

[@lukeimontv7086]

Great video! Very inspirational. Thank you

[@Judasz696]

Does it make sense when you have a DAW already in your hybrid setup?

[@proplayer002]

a real pro at work

[@edwardfletcher7790]

These loopers are awesome tools 👍

[@NoahMagic]

You amaze me

[@rafamixcantor]

Incredible .😮

[@martysmagicalmusicmancave]

Great Video !! May I ask what head mic you're using ?

[@thetunows]

So what’s better polybrut 12 or moog muse

[@OdeethebeeO]

Hi! So from what I you’re using the 505 as master for the other synths.. do you feel it has a steady enough clock to be master to several synths when playing live without a computer?

[@brauliomillalaf1709]

This was amazing

[@HappyOrganMan]

Great 🤩👍👌🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@apoesk21]

hahaha.. Make is look soooooo easy.. :P ;) But very well played and nice to see - I am wondering how it would loope mics, for example on live drums? :D

[@zenithpinch]

great rig DM

[@kevon217]

Smooth jam!

[@zugel]

Really enjoyable. Many thanks.

[@juaquinwilson596]

Super dope: Whats your take on the Headrush Prime for live vocal?

[@Bulkvanderhuge]

I really like having my tr-8 as the main clock source but it throws my RC-505mk2 out of sync after a few loops. Any ideas?

[@tonyhansen655]

Where are the drum sounds coming from?

[@romi2910001]

Hi do you know how do you get a 4 on the floor kit to be on time? Thanks

[@SlamOneLover]

Viva peron!

[@AlinTrinca]

The 4:38 bit on the rhodes sounds waaay too familiar. Where is it from?

[@kwajongenscommunicatie6201]

Great. I wonder: Can you do exact the same with the the RC-600? I'm more of the keys, but a friend is more of the guitars. So if we want to buy just 1 looper, with one should be handy... is my thought. And another thing: the 'In the loop workshop' - will it also be featured on KZbin?

[@christianhattens1150]

Really good! also what headphones impedance is recommended for the Boss RC-505 MKII. Do i need a amp/audio interface if im over 80 ohm?

[@JustLocal]

I want one!

[@GalaXisJoe]

magical

[@Strages_Powers]

beautiful tunes!

[@MuhammadNadeem-gn4in]

Amazingly Music Master

[@koramusique]

Amazing demo & great musicianship :) Thank you!

[@FranciscoCarmo1997]

Amazing intro!

[@gkam11]

Hi Claudio! I really enjoy your videos, except of synth expert, you are great musician also! I like your style and your sense of humour, you are my man in every way. If you ever come to Athens Greece, it would be a honour for me to meeting you in person! Question: what are you playing at 4:45 ? Sounds great, like Alan Parsons project, or something, sad you stopped playing, we need more…😢

[@Arterium]

Great setup! Any similar In The Loop events in Australia?

[@cballennj]

Great video!! Could not manage to attend your event in London. Do you have any more shows on Looping coming up? Also more information on Looping and equipment.

[@user-KORG]

Bravo,sir!😁👏🇷🇺

[@znelson32]

Some Peter Gabriel circa 1990’s vibe in there
