Welcome 🙏

Yes, yes, yes…I must learn how to do this!!! It all feels so intimidating to me but thank you so much for breaking it down.

You can do it! Have a look at my How To Loop Like A Pro course and put the code LOOPLIKEAPRO in the checkout for a $30 discount!! www.johnpaulmusic.co.uk/how-to-loop-like-a-pro

@@JohnPaulMusicUK I bought your beginner course either last year or early this year and in February got this message from you- Congratulations! You've been granted access to "LoopLab: How To Loop Like A Pro" by JohnPaulMusicUK. Is this the same course as the one you reference above?

@@JohnPaulMusicUK I signed up for your beginner course a while back and haven’t started yet but I think you merged it with LoopLikeAPro in February; do I have that right?

@@mindyhall4638Is there any actual examples of cover songs not just the ones JP creates ?

[@mindyhall4638]

@@micktmusic Hi Mick-thanks for the questions but I am such a newbie to loopers and pedalboards that I’m at the beginning of the journey; been playing acoustic guitar for 50 years but have zero experience on the wonderful electronic side of things and want to learn, learn, learn all of it! Thanks for asking.

Pretty cool..

Thanks

Beautiful stuff, love it! I've got one of these coming my way soon. Can't wait to dive in 🤟😎

Glad you liked it. Let me know once you have it what you think. 👍🏻

I am planning to buy the first loop pedal. Torn between RC-500 and Looper+. Just don't know what to look for.

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Sorry I’m only replying now. Question is what do you need from a Loop pedal? What do you need it to do to elevate your sound or performance?

[@caesarsheadache]

Great demo well done! CanI ask what exactly Boss F5-6 adds? Is it enabling something not possbile on looper itself or merely faster access to A-B choices? Are you happy with the looper, any bugs etc? Thanks

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

So the Sheeran Looper + has a Foot switch option to add two additional pedals that you can program up. I decided to make them undo and Mute. That way I can mute one track and bring it back and then undo/redo will take away the last recording and then bring it back. You can program it up to do other things as well but just means it’s quicker to activate having its own dedicated button. Hope that helps. 👍🏻

[@caesarsheadache]

Sounds like a neat addition Cheers@@JohnPaulMusicUK

[@jackwalden5101]

@@JohnPaulMusicUKHey, I just bought a boss fs6 to go with my looper + and for some reason only one of the footswitches will work at a time. Just wondering if you had a similar problem and if so how you got around it?

[@micktmusic]

Any ideas of how I would merge this with a SPD one kick ? Would it go into the mic as I’m not exactly a mic looper

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Yeah I would plug it in via mic if you’re not using it.

[@micktmusic]

I’ve just bought this and already have the f5-6 already so I’m going to have this exact set up. I’m new to looping. Well, been looping very badly with the TC helicon but ready to step up. Do you know if V2 will have the fixes ?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Have a look at the V2 release notes. Also I have a beginners course on how to loop which you can either buy or you can get on subscription for $15/m Check it out here: johnpaulmusicuk.mykajabi.com/how-to-loop-like-a-pro

[@micktmusic]

Do you do tutorials of actual covers as this is what I need really as a cover artist ✌🏻

[@vienSimbulan]

Is there a way to separately connect mic and guitar to a mixer for separate mixing?

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Hey 👋 Yes. Go to the menu and look at the output options. There is a split option. Select Stereo to send the loop audio output and dry audio input to both L (Mono) and R outputs as a stereo signal. Select Split to send the loop audio output to the L (Mono) output and the dry audio input to the R output. Great for sending to a mixer or sound engineer. 👍🏻

[@GeckoRC]

Great performance! But You can here the huge problem of this looper: It has a big latency while undo/redo. The parts stops and starts not instant. (lag about 0,5ec I think) Thats soooo sad! I got my Looper+ today and after 15minutes I was angry about that! I use the same footswitch like You (FS-6) I used thr RC-1 before and it's MUCH faster in this case. So sad, because i really LOVE the Looper+ The design is cool and the usability so great. But thats a really no go for me!

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Let’s just hope that they update that in the firmware. I don’t understand why it has that problem because the head rush leaderboard and the Sheeran looper X don’t have that issue

[@GeckoRC]

@@JohnPaulMusicUK They must fix that, otherwise the looper is useless (for me) I play many songs with a single loop and undo/redo is the way to go to get dynamic in a song :) Every 50$ looper makes this better :/ Next problems are: Why can't You stop Track B while Track A continues to play (or vice versa)? Why can't You start a second track (undo/redo, mute/unmute or start/stop) so that the sound plays synchronised with the other loop? In other words, activate it beforehand and only play it when the other loop is at the beginning again. I would be able to choose. That are not really features, that are musthaves for a good and flexible workflow. I hope they will fix that too, because again: I LOVE the concept of this looper! The RC-500 have MUCH more features but I don't want them, it's to complicated for an easy songwriter evening :) Thanks for Your quick answer!
