[@EmilyMcVicker]

Thank you so much, Friend! You are very kind🤘❤️

[@lgovantes1]

Great video. I love your energy. I recently got a 505M2 and you can use a MIDI pedal to control your loops or anything you want up to 16 things, and then, you also have two other pedal ports that you can use... this makes the RC-600 almost useless since you have so much more knobs and sliders, and pedals that you can use! It is definitely a great looper. Another great looper is the Aeros loop station... especially if you use it with the Midi Maestro pedalboard. Any thoughts?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Oh interesting. So you prefer the 505 but with foot switches? Boss just sent me the new VE-22 and I am interested to see how I’d use that with the rc-600. But your idea is also enticing! Thanks for sharing

[@EdmasterBBX]

[@billlaporte8255]

I'm learning how to use it right now... been playing keys for 45+ years so figure time to learn some of this new tech. You are the reason I got the Boss RC-505MK2... make it look easy @@EmilyMcVicker

[@DreaScarlett]

Congrats on receiving yours, I got mine last month. Lot's of the bugs people complained about have been addressed in the firmware updates (Latest is V1.21 Sept 2022). I use this in conjunction with my FS-6 Dual Footswitch to record/dub on tracks 1 & 2. You can get a midi footswitch to have control on all 5 tracks! Another cool thing is that it is completely customizable, for example, one complaint was that they removed the mic/line input knobs that were on the previous 505, this is not true, they just moved them to the center under the display, and theres 4, additionally, you can assign then to different functions, Boss/Roland did not do this out of the box (i think by default they set 1 to memory and 1 to master effect). I have mine to control mic1/line1/ levels, and the other to control the rhythm level (or have a separate headphones mix if you want). It really is a great machine, just have to be patient while Roland/Boss works out the bugs. Keep up the good work Emily.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Yes this! And I think they’re having trouble getting it to work with all the different ways people use it. Pretty cool how many methods people use it for! The original firmware works well for me so I might not update right away haha. On my 600, the newer updates made it start doing all the weird stuff. Just how I use it I s’pose 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for writing! Excited to play more with this one :)

[@WmArthur]

Just got my 505. I have big plans, lol. Can't find any musicians up here in the mountains so...The hippies are gonna love me! Nice work, I think it's got to be easier to make on the fly changes if the looper isn't on the floor.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Absolutely! Somethings are just not practical to do with the floor lever. Although in either case, you don’t want to be Messing up with the loop for the whole time. Talk important to get a system down

[@WmArthur]

@@EmilyMcVicker Thanks for your input. I have a Boss FS 6 dual foot switch to help and could get another to switch 4 channels. I like how the 505 mk2 has the slider levels for each channel for mixing. As much as I'd like to have a whole band, that's not practical. This also allows for more individual creativity, great for ambient & trance, although I'm mainly strings and want to get my crowd singing with me. May even try it at a country bar. Might blow their mind. lol - Great work, thanks!

[@SimplicityForGood]

WOW! I’m truly impressed by the concept of what this can do. I’m currently exploring options for voice and looping and am particularly interested in understanding the differences between the Boss RC-505 mkll and the TC-Helicon Live devices like the TC helicon live 3 extreme. I’ve heard that the RC-505 mkll might lack the built-in EQ vocal processing that the TC-Helicon Live 3 Extreme offers. Could you please clarify if you use any additional devices with the RC-505 mkll to enhance vocal effects like delay, reverb, and EQ, which the TC-Helicon device manages automatically? I’d appreciate any insights into how these two systems compare, especially in terms of achieving high-quality vocal processing automation . Thank you for your guidance on choosing the best setup and whether the Boss RC-505 mkll can be complemented or upgraded to match the vocal processing capabilities of the TC-Helicon device. Best regards, chris

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Great questions! And thank you for those kind words :-) I don’t have personal experience with the TC helicon. But for performance sake and accessibility, I prefer to do the mixing separate from the pedals. The newer boss pedals are going to have the nicest sound quality. And that’s why I like them! It is probably a very personal preference. But that is my two cents 👍

[@dawnr8511]

Perfect demo of the capabilities of this machine. Keep up the great work and creativity.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Thanks Dawn, appreciate you!

[@jumpstar9000]

"Taking a look" 😂😂❤ Brilliant. You are Brilliant. "Intricate Settings" Hahaha 👍 I love mine. I'm still getting used to it, but it is certainly a key part of my studio now. and remember... "Every track has its own Fader!" ❤❤

[@EmilyMcVicker]

I have really been using the faders! Getting really comfortable on this one now 🤗👍 ha! Big strides since these first looks. How you liking yours?

[@jumpstar9000]

@EmilyMcVicker Well you seemed pretty good already. It's great isn't it! I have been redoing my studio quite a bit since the new year, it's taking me a while but I am finally getting there. So as part of that I have an RC-505 somewhere in the middle sitting between my hardware synths and guitars and my DAW, and the DAW also is an instrument I can play into the 505. That way I can do hybrid tracks, or all live or all in the box. It has taken me a while to figure out the best way for my workflow and maybe I'm not 100% yet, but very close. But yeah, it is fun as hell!!! Love it!! 😍 😎💫

[@TheKer7]

Your energy is amazing!!! Just the thing I needed today to get a push on working on my music. I've used plenty of other loopers and now considering this one. Can not express how happy this discovery made me! I subscribed right after collecting my jaw after the intro. Much love!

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Pahaha awesome! I’m so glad to hear it!

[@JohnSAitken]

No don’t play that one. I just love the song with all my heart ❤️

[@SaintFacetious]

I've an rc202 with a floor MIDI pedal controller. Best of both worlds! Your vids are definitely tempting me to upgrade!

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Oh! What kind of floor device did you get? And do you recommend it???

[@SaintFacetious]

@@EmilyMcVicker I've got a MIDI Maestro from Singular Sound. It's easy enough to program, but the buttons are really squeaky, but it's been really reliable in my performances. That said, I think I'd prefer something with some sort of control to link to volume too, but that complaint has more to do with my using the Beat Buddy pedal as a drum machine with not always consistent volume... On the mk2, is it possible to route an external drum machine to one of those channels and use the sliders to control the live sound? Or do they only control the recorded sound?

[@norbsson]

Your review is outstanding! You're great. Really nice to meet you.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Aww likewise my friend! Thank you!

[@Knome-Ansland]

THANKYOU KINDLY! I bought the r c five a few years ago. And I love it don't get me wrong, But it has a little prep time, as far as settling up beats and variations, ect. Might have to upgrade after seeing this! Very cool stuff❤

[@elliebecker2282]

hey there ! how did you plug your midi keyboard to the boss since there is no usb plug on the boss ? thanks

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Hey Ellie! I’m not using it for midi into the pedal. I do have a midi cable plugging it into the interface for when I make demos, but for my performances, I’m currently just using the built in sounds. However I just bought some cool midi sounds so I’m doing some re-routing to be able to use midi in my loops so stay tuned! 🤘😆

[@edgarlee2802]

At last, Roland have recognized you! About time 😀

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Thanks Edgar! Pretty exciting! 😁😁😁

[@LochlannK]

Hi!! I have a question that I can't seem to get an answer to. Would you please tell me how you lessen background noise from your other loops from bleeding over to the new ones, during live performances?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

This can be really tricky! In these videos, I am using in-ear-monitors. And it’s amazing to not have literally any bleed! But for live gigs, sometimes you can get creative and point the speakers in different ways to reduce the feedback, you can use any ear monitors for live shows, and I also make sure to record any rhythmic loops that don’t have pitches before I record the chords. Because if it’s not specifically feedback, the tones bleeding into other loops is what makes it sound mushy and bad. When I’m playing live, I also like to keep this stage volume as quiet as possible. I hope this helps! Depending on what you were looping, it might be worth trying out different mics with different pick up patterns. Some will pick up less room sound than others

[@MattyRouter]

Turn mic down.

[@ForFunGuitar]

Love the intro. Take a look at youtube "Beatbox battle" amazing what this guy's can do with this looper and FX , You show a guy calling Brez he's amazing too. But the level output is too low, the level between your sing and the recording is not like the 600 ?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

I think I still had the track faders too low when I shoulda had them full up. I’m learning!

[@mirks150]

Thanks for the video! It’s great. Question… Does the 505 start your loop whenever or it only comes in on at set quantised tempo. Also can you adjust the tempo of a loop that playing on the fly? Cheers

[@EmilyMcVicker]

If you hit it right on beat 1, it wil start Recording right away. But if you hit it early, it will blink until it gets to that divider mark (The end of the Measure) and it will start recording on that first beat.

[@mirks150]

[@onerugrat]

so do you think this is easier than the rc600? looking to get a looper, but no experience other than a single pedal looper on my guitar. have you used this live?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

I’ve used the 505 live on stream a few times. And I’ve used it at gigs where I wasn’t playing instruments. When I’m playing guitar or piano, I think I prefer the 600 just so I can have my hands free to play the instrument. But that’s me. It’s practically challenging when you need hands for everything

[@stephanieamy3721]

Always love watching you build loops, Emily. I may have this wrong but as your hands are busy tapping buttons how will you play live on the keyboard. Must it be easier to use your feet on the 600 as it leaves your hands free to play?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

You kinda nailed it. It’s pretty hard to build loops on the guitar when I have to cue the recording also with my hand. For basic looping for instrumentalist, the floor looper is piece of cake. But for vocal loops, and using FX, the tabletop access is pretty sweet. I wanna figure out how to properly rout them and get them to play together. I’m really becoming high maintenance now haha

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Now you’re getting me to think because it would be so nice if the 600 had a midi controller where you could control the settings something within reach. Maybe clip on a mic stand. Idk. But You get the idea. It’s also nice to have 5 tracks without having to shift through modes

[@MeanMaoriMean555]

@@EmilyMcVicker I got an idea the other day and didn’t say anything till I saw this comment. I was thinking maybe you should look into combining a midi foot controller in parallel with the RC-505 2 to access some functions where you can’t use you hands as much when doing guitars parts if combining the RC 500 with the 505 isn’t too successful. Just a thought.

[@DreaScarlett]

@@MeanMaoriMean555 Correct, this was one of my deciding factors in purchasing the 505 (almost went with the RC-400), because I can use it in conjunction with my FS-6 foot switch which I already owned. And yes, I hear you can use it with a midi foot controller to access all 5 tracks.

[@sacredearthguardians]

Love all of your videos! Just got the Boss Rc 505 and so excited. You really inspired me to go for it. Curious why you have the 2 different vocal microphoness. Is there a reason and difference when you are signing? Also what mic arm are you using? 💛💛💛

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Hey! Congrats on ur new toy! You’re very kind ❤️ I have two mics because one is going into the looper first and one goes direct into the interface. But i have changed my set up these days so I just use one mic now. I talk about it in my new studio tour video.

[@MeanMaoriMean555]

Hi Emily I’ve been reading reports by other KZbinrs on the Mark 2. Apparently one of the things that they are mentioning is that a loop is basically pre timed before you do a loop. Like pre-quantised from what I’m understanding. So some beat boxers are pointing out that they can’t free-time a loop anymore. But maybe it’s not a worry.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

ah yes. i've heard that. i'm having trouble fully understanding what they mean so i'm trying to locate the first version to compare. cuz people love this pedal and really could do nuts things with it. nothing is pre-timed, but i gotta see one in action and mess with it. maybe next video.

@@EmilyMcVicker ahhh awesome Emily!! It’s looking good!

[@EmilyMcVicker]

@@MeanMaoriMean555 ya cuz i can easily make loops and make it musical. but i'm interested to see what the thing is that the previous version could do that people are missing. cuz the way the machine works dictates how your brain learns to make the loops. so i can see they are frustrated. we'll crack the code!

How does this compare to the the 600? I want to use this in a live setting with multiple instruments. The 505 looks easier to use? But the 600 seems to work better with guitar?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

For sure! They have the exact same internal computer. But the way you operate them is going to be different. I love with the 505 does, but since I mostly play guitar in my gigs, I kind of need to bring the 600 as my main vehicle

Hello, Ms. McVicker. As feedback, I just wanted to say I began watching your videos for two reasons, your smile and eye contact in thumbnails. Really jumps out.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Aww snap 🥰🥰🥰 you are so sweet to me. I’m so glad to have you onboard! Did you happen to pick a looper yet?

[@theplayers3507]

Yes! Well, two. A Ditto+ to record ideas to pass around (just give the unit to a music friend to take home), and a Headrush Looperboard as sort of a studio hub. I use Reaper DAW, but sort of want an intermediary, with foot switches. Sort of a holding tank, a white board.

[@theplayers3507]

I have only used a Ditto standard for years and have no idea what I'm doing past that lol.

[@euskaldoude]

Hello Emily my apologies for the english it's from google translate. I have some advice to ask you, we are a group of 3 people, two guitarists and a singer, and we would like to buy this RC 505 mk2. I would like to add that I would like to prepare rhythm and bass loops in advance, most certainly a little keyboard and then use it live. The question is do you think this product will suit us. thank you for your help and congratulations for your channel and the good mood and the joy of living that you release. May life be good to you.

[@chillfiltr528]

I know you didn't ask me, but in case you're still curious, I can say that this particular model was developed in direct response to beat boxers. So of course, it can work in other areas and genres but live beatboxing was the original impetus. I believe there's a way to copy over loops via USB, but the memory is internal, so it's not feasible to swap out memory cards for different gigs, for example. That being said, if you plan to use it at waist level while standing, then it just wins on form factor, next to perhaps the ElectroHarmonix 45000/95000. Maybe look at that first, but for your use case I think you really only have a choice between the two. Hope that helps.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Hey! Just saw this comment and i'm not sure if you're still deciding. Who is planning to operate the loops? I think preparing the rhythms in advance could be a good move! I do find this looper difficult to use if i'm playing guitar. if i need to play guitar with it, it helps to have an external switch to control the all start/stop so i can do that with my foot while playing guitar with both hands. I appreciate the question and please let me know what you decide!

Hey. Thanks for this, great! Would you consider doing a dedicated comparison video of the RC-600 and RC-505 mkii? It would be super helpful. I get the sense you're more comfortable with the 600, but just wondered what your personal thoughts are. I'm trying to decide which one to get! Thanks

[@EmilyMcVicker]

that is such a great idea! I'll put it on the list!

[@BopKitBill]

Can the RC-505mkii save while the loop is running....I understand that the 600 can do this!

[@EmilyMcVicker]

I’m not sure I know what you mean… The loops are recorded until you delete them. You can save loops and recordings on them so you can come back later. If the 600 can do what you’re asking, than the 505 also can. they have the same internal computer

[@BopKitBill]

@@EmilyMcVicker Thanks...So if you moved to another memory slot...Say U were playing on memory 1 and then went to memory 2...if U hadn't saved , everything you'd done would be gone....So with most loopers u must stop the loop in order to save but as I understand it the 600 can save on the fly so to speak...hope thats right as i ordered one today! ...and as u say, if the 600 can do it then the 505 mkii should as be able also.

Hi Emily, Can you do a video playing the 505mk2 with your feet and a guitar I'm curious how doable it is. Also do you prefer the 505mk2 to the 600 and if so what are some of the reasons?

Ha! That sound fun but it really wouldn’t do well with feet. It will break. The 600 is for the feet and it’s metal (instead of plastic) and was built for that. I have been wanting to hook up an external foot switch to use w the 505 and be able to at least all start/stop with it: that might be the best of both worlds! Stay tuned ☺️

G'day Emily like your channel and you as a lady and a performer all good things

[@EmilyMcVicker]

All good things! Thanks John!

You change your looper? Or combine both?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Roland sent me this one to demo. Trying to decide how I could make them all work together 🤔

[@ElVagabundo777]

Hello. I have a problem. I bought a new Boss RC 600 looper. On my computer I have songs made on my old Boss RC 50 looper. How do I make the RC 50 wav files work on the RC 600? Because so far the RC 600 looper shows the message FILE NOT SUPPORTED. And I have a lot of trouble, because there are 10 songs that are not easy. RC 600 wav file and RC 50 wav file. But in the RC 50 I mostly have MONO files, or is that a problem? And some settings need to be made .. tips. Please. I have a recital in a few days ..

@ElVagabundo777 Visit the Boss homepage and navigate to the download page for the software for your system (Mac / PC). After installing the software and connecting the devices use the import function. It will convert your old files to the needed format of your new RC. 😊 The user interface isn‘t too fancy, but it‘ll do the trick. Personally I‘ve found that it pays to redo the tracks on the new device, because the quality and the possibilities are so much better. Stereo for one, and then all the new FXs and higher audio resolution are worth exploiting.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Shoot I know some other folks have dealt with that too. I don’t have any loops saved on my looper, so I might not be the best to ask. Are you able to drop them into a DAW on ur computer? May you could re-expert them and see if they can be recognized that way. At least you will have them saved.

Ok, I know you’re a salesperson, but you’re so dang cute. And you got the pipes! Makes me wanna buy this. Haha.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Hey! Not a sales person. Just a musician that does a lot of looping 🤘😆 Glad u like the videos

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Haha me or you?

[@theplayers3507]

Hold the phone - you don't save any loops? That really jumped out...All I've used is a Ditto, lol, and the fact it won't save stuff is why Im going up the line to a 600 or the like. Just surprised me, considering how nice yours are.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Oh ya. I build from scratch each time. I just practice building quickly and efficiently. My goal is to make the show go smoothly and sing transitions are a big part of that. The less re-adjusting I need to do between each tune the better 👍

[@EmilyMcVicker]

If I were a horn player or playing a single-note instrument, I might have to save more for the sake of time. But with guitars and keys, I can sing and record and play at the same time. Just takes practice

[@EmilyMcVicker]

If I want to make a demo, I’d rather do with an actual DAw on the computer

[@BogeyDopeYT]

Boss really needs to start putting touchscreens on everything.

[@EmilyMcVicker]

You think? I kind of love the actual buttons and knobs

[@BogeyDopeYT]

@@EmilyMcVicker I’ve got several Boss guitar effects processors and I like buttons and knobs too, but they’ve been using this same bland screen on stuff for awhile now. Other effects started using touchscreens awhile ago and a touchscreen combined with knobs and buttons just makes things quicker, easier, and you don’t need a pair of binocs to see those tiny Boss screens. I’m just tired of that same old tiny screen.

[@Itswiwo]

hahahahah you're so funny

[@ChazJazzNY]

Do you use any software?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

What kind of software? Like a Daw?

[@xanthousproxy5937]

If you're looking to give away any of your old loopers anytime soon I could sure use one! :D :D :D

[@EmilyMcVicker]

pahaha my bandmates???

[@jerryjohnson6520]

Can you do a demo of the Boss RC10 R

[@scotttait2197]

Not really into the "youtubers" getting things for free vibe Tends to lack objectivness, so guessing the 600 cane the same way?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Well I’ve been a boss looper user long before this. I have two 600s cuz I like to have a back up. I bought one of them and boss sent me the other. Feel free to check out my performances if you don’t think I’m genuine. I do use both pedals regularly 👍

[@JohnSAitken]

Stand By Me?

[@EmilyMcVicker]

Oh that’s a great idea!!! Thank you! Do you play that one?

[@ArceezRC]

When the song started is what I think they meant cuz I heard the chords for Stand By Me. Great performance & showcase of the Mk2.

[@LRod-ul2zu]

10 seconds in and I’m out

[@EmilyMcVicker]
