How To Use A Loop Pedal (BOSS RC-300)

[@thebreakfastmenu]

That was actually a really tasty jam

[@thinkingape7655]

I’ve owned the RC-300 for a couple years now. This is by far the best demonstration I’ve watched to simply start jamming. Every one else seems to make it entirely too complicated. Nice job 🤘

[@alphasxsignal]

Its fun to use and have had one for years and never had any problems with it. Its built like a tank.

[@studiognome1076]

Amazing video with concise direction that is full of possibilities. Thank you!

[@eekamoose]

There's lots more to the RC-300 but this is an excellent demo of the basics - a very good quick start guide to get people started enjoying it.

[@normsky5504]

I own this pedal, it is awesome, but requires a considerable amount of reading and reference to manuals tutorials etc. in order to get the most from it. It is at first, slightly overwhelming, if you are a technophobe like me, but stick with it, and you will reap it's rewards.

[@haguitar]

hhhhh~thank you ~

[@thestonecutters6177]

is it possible to do serial looping...like two different sections of a song?

[@davedemers7293]

@@thestonecutters6177 Yes; you can do e.g. verse on track 1, chorus on track 2, bridge on track 3 as per kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4ewY5asp5WKq5I. I am an intermediate player and love this thing. The recording of course exposes my technique :-) so I need to get my chords formed and strummed right. I've started using the effect of guitar -> bass (i.e. an octaver effect) to lay down real bass lines. Right now, pretty much every day I'll put in a 12-bar in some random key, first chords, then bass. Then noodle through minor pentatonic for a while. Can practice turnarounds, quick change, 12/8 feel with triplets vs 4/4. Practicing finding some licks here and there over the scale. All of a sudden two hours have gone by and 95% of it was me playing :-) :-)

Thx. Super informative. Can't wait to see what I can do with this.

[@wtbofnc7880]

Best demonstration I’ve seen! Keep up the great work.

[@eekamoose]

Great initial presentation, but not looking at the user manual only worked because you had some prior knowledge. I have an RC-300 and it has stacks of useful features that you won't understand without consulting the manual.

[@FOURTEEFIVE]

thanks for this video bro, so well put together for those of us with no focus. I was actually going to pay someone real dollars to teach me the basics in person but youve nailed it and I can take it and run thanks alot

[@piperofsimms]

Hi Luke, Did you find that you like the 300 ? Is it simply RECORD until you want to stop and then that part repeats then it goes into OVER-DUB automatically. I love my RC-30 that works that way without having to "program" everything. Thx Luke.

[@FOURTEEFIVE]

@@piperofsimms hmmm yes I think it is, it will loop back to the beginning automatically from where you stopped it. if you have record selected it will record for you each time and play it back the next loop

[@piperofsimms]

@@FOURTEEFIVE Much appreciated Luke ! Thank you from Tucson, Arizona

[@northernbrother1258]

Also...you can overdub multiple parts on each track. Plus you can load in your own WAV files and trigger them. It's pretty cool.

[@turtlec7140]

That's what I wanted to know! Awesome!

Excellent demo - thank you 🙏

[@bradgphoto]

Nice little introduction video. I just love all Boss products. Been using the Ve-8 for a bit now and looking to add a more usable looper to go along with it. Looks like this fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for the video.

[@tenkcliff37]

Hi great video quick question I bought the RC300 so I could record my midi piano into it but I can't find a video anywhere showing how to set it any help is much appriciated thanks for the great video

[@WindRider707]

Use the audio out from whatever sound generator you’re using (could be the keyboard itself), run into the rc300 via audio input. As far as midi control from the unit out - still working on that :) syncing together with Ableton is my jam

[@ourclarioncall]

I like the simplicity of this I’m wondering if you can start/stop/rec as easily on the new rc600 or if you have to press a track select button to move between tracks . If so that could make it quite tedious I just asked this question on other KZbin channels about the rc600 “ I have a question 🙋‍♂️ As an example , Let’s say you have recorded guitar parts on 3 different tracks Can I turn these on and off at any time just by pressing on the main buttons at the bottom or do I have to press the track select button to move over to a specific track before I can turn it on or or off ? “

[@OGBlackBridge]

You can start and stop a loop individually? On my Ditto once I have them both going you can't stop one or the other individually, you have to stop them both and then get back into the loop tracks. I need a looper that allows me to start and stop certain loops without having to kill the track all together

[@rajsodhi]

Question - did you have the metronome or rhythm going into your headphones? Seems like you have to be sync'd up the tempo that's running.

[@eyeceeyooh]

Do you have a separate output for each track? Like do you have a separate speaker for the mic and the piano?

[@yanisb4812]

super instructive ! thank you !

[@victoriaalegria9004]

Hi ! Thanks for the video. I have a question though, how Can you restant your track at the begining without waiting for the track to restart ? When I stop and then play it Plays where I stoped insted of playing the begining !

nice vid. Wanted to ask, how do you plug both the keys & the guitar togther? While having a mic as well.. 🙄

[@piperofsimms]

Hello... I love using my RC-30. I want 1 more track. Will this be user friendly and behave much like the RC-30 ? My pedals will be shaping the sound. All I want is those 3 tracks. Would this be a good choice ?

[@anthonyclarke5902]

You did this well. Cool

[@asilearnguitar]

what about if the song has more than one part with different chord progressions?

[@WindRider707]

Start and stop separate tracks at the same time to record new change, then same in reverse to go back to previous. If you have a DAW on a laptop then it really opens up to infinity with a little practice - prerecord basics on laptop and do live looping with the boss unit

[@gt_oliver]

Do you recommend this loop station also for recording / studio/ composing work? Or is there something more suitable? I'm brand new with this as a musician. THanks

[@fromthestreets00]

do you know how to hear a audio input but not record that? i have a drum machine e want to hear the beat but not record (i dont have a mixer vet and i have pluged my phones on the rc300 only, thanks!

[@ThirdCoastlive]

Problem, what if i don't want to use the meter/quantification, it seems to create as delay for r meter restart then to where i command it to end??

[@music-collective]

good presentation

[@gargoyled_drake]

way more for the needs when wanting to loop live, first thing that makes this more useble than the rc 30 and the others is, less kneeling down and pressing buttons with fingers / trying to press tiny buttons with your toes

[@RobertoAguilarMusic]

Hi, do you know how to make the All START/STOP starts to playing in other part of the loop, I mean not in the beginning? Thanks.

[@savanaviolenta]

Im getting one for sure.That's the one.

[@nickolasolsen8029]

Hey thanks for the video. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to tell me if your RC-300 power button makes a click when you press it? I’m trying to determine if mine may be defective before I send it back. It feels like it might be. It does not click but it does come on and turn off. However, I have to press the button just right.

Is the RC505 build as a hardcase? If not then RC300 is better traveling with?

[@franciscoalmeida6792]

After you record a first track, does that same track or any of the others (2 and 3) sync automatically so that you don't need to press REC exactly on time?

[@AchillesWrath1]

Just don't start playing the second track until you're ready to come in.

thanks fo the video. how to finish wit fade out.

[@pedroschoicesongs6532]

It’s looks like ur not stepping on the pedal at the right time. What’s up with that?

What microphone is best to get with the RC-300?

[@leloopdusoir]

Hannah Kenney , hello. With the Rc-300 I use a Neumann Km 184 ( one mic ) and Im quite happy with it. Really great for recording Accoustic Guitars, Drums, Voices, Snaps, Percussion and on and on. Real nice. I’ve tried with other brand like Warm, Shure, and the Km 184 sound much better, but that’s my personal opinion.

[@flipmacyt]

Hi there ! I own already a rec-30, so do you recommend me to get rather the rc-300 instead ? Also is it possible to use the rc-300 just as an effect pedal or are the effects only to be used on the loops themselves ?

[@paulineanders6403]

flipmacyt hey mate, I own both of them pedals and would recommend the rc300 cause it’s easier to handle. Btw you can you the pedal as a effect pedal but for that I’d rather buy a proper effect pedal .

[@flipmacyt]

@@paulineanders6403 hi Anders ! thank you very much for the feedback. In the meantime i got the rc300 at a nice price second hand in very good condition and it seems indeed that the rc300 is easier to handle ... it runs quite of smoothlier to operate ... anyway, still new for me this one, so i hope i will use it a lot.

omg thanks, someone who doesn't overcomplicate things! i was wondering if there was a way to delete individual overdubs on the same track.... like on track 1 for example if you do something and add a layer but mess it up? do you have to clear all the layers and start again or is there another solution? thanks!

[@MatONeill]

Hi Anna - holding the record button will undo/redo the last overdub - but nothing before that!!!

[@annarheingans9963]

thanks mat. also - how do we loop a phrase that isn't 4/4, or indeed is a free rhythm and length all together? i can't seem to just get rid of the tempo button....

[@WindRider707]

@@annarheingans9963 it should loop at whatever point you cut it, for example five quarter notes, or 7, or 3 does that help?

Hi, do you know how to assign the beat rhythm to a specific track? Basically I'd like to have a solo play first then start the rhythm midway through song. Also is it possible to assign a pedal to start/stop rhythm rather than have to press the button ? Many thanks.

[@spectorfriend]

Hi sir , I have a specific question. I record a beat loop on my first track , hitting my acoustic guitar . I just put a little of electronic beat on it (on button) and record it. On my second track pedal, I'd like to put , for example, just a smoth sound rythmic (hit my guitar for clap for an exemple). The problem is that the beat pattern sound on the second track pedal! I just want it on the first pedal !!! Not on the 2nd and 3rd one ! Is it possible to adjust that? To say to the machine, I want a yes electronic rythm but just on my first track? Tx

[@ethanvanatta1729]

S St-Pierre after the you finished recording the first track, you can add on to it by pressing the first track button again and looping what you want to. This will allow you to record multiple parts on one track. Again, just act like you’re going to record something again on the first track.

[@spectorfriend]

@@ethanvanatta1729 . Tx but mmmm. I just want to have the electronic beat on the 1st track but not in the 2nd and 3rd one. As I undestand my RC300, when the electronic beat is ON, it's on on the 3 differents pedals. I'd like the electronic beat just on the 1st !

Couple questions if you don't mind. 1) If you are not using the effects, is this just a direct pass through of the sound that you are putting into it? 2) Can you run it so you do a 1 measure beat on track 1 and then do a 4 measure recording of say a bass line on track 2 and 3 AND can you have track 1 in sync with track 2 and 3 BUT have track 2 and 3 in serial with each other so you can have an A and B part with the beat of track one playing on both? 3) how do you erase a recording on the top most layer of a single track? Thanks :)
