RC505 Loopstation - Auto Record Function Tutorial (trigger recording by playing audio)

[@DoctorBlankenstein]

And 4 mins later, you have a WEEN song! :) good vid man.. Thanks for posting

[@lurkerlew2136]

Thanks dude!

[@rakuen55]

Thank you for uploading the useful video. I am also using RC505 for my live looping. This is therefore helpful for my live performance😃

[@ACOUSTICDI]

Bravo Brother. This is the BEST RC-505 tutorial video I've seen yet. Slow enough to see what you are doing, Explaining and showing as you go... Thank You Thank You. Hoping you have more...

[@lurkerlew2136]

Yoo, thank you!

[@joeass2399]

U can click the stop and play button and set the measure in track settings to immediatly make the track the amount of measures desired.

[@gokhanatis3404]

i cant thank enough... This little trick changed the game big time :) thank you thank you thank you

[@noelsazias]

4ever grateful! This makes life easier. 😃

I think what we came to find out is how to trigger record with our instrument, like you are starting with guitar not drums and we want the guitar sound to trigger the record start.

[@GaryLucasMusic]

Yes exactly. Did you ever find an answer to this?

[@OGBlackBridge]

No. This is not the context in which auto record is used. To kick off recording on any track the looper must be triggered by button or pedal.

[@wildeyestudios5]

I have an issue where the auto record starts before I hit the instrument, it seems to be when other tracks are playing but im using headpho5and the mic shouldn't pick itnup. I don't know if I am Missing something

[@SelfPropelledDestiny]

Great idea! And making a quick blank is nice for one the fly stuff. Though if you knew pre-handedly which tracks you were going to dedicate to audio, you could just save (WRITE) the song bank with those blanks already there for you too. Just another idea for others who hadn't thought of it.

[@jays4210]

Cool, but that isn't auto recording based on your signal. Nothing in the device is being 'triggered' by the signal of your guitar, it's just constantly on a record loop.

[@dopesoup420]

Exactly! False advertising.

[@joemonroe1106]

Yep.

[@OGBlackBridge]

It only "holds" a loop by a strong input from your voice or instrument and will record loops on one track automatically, over and over, until you stop that track from recording. It's only taking loops from a solid input and not looping white noise over and over, hence making auto record a true feature if comprehended in the correct context.

[@AlistairPope]

That’s cool, but but the quick and easy way of recording a hands-free loop on the RC-505 is to plug the FS-6 or FS-5U foot switch into it.

[@strandedaliensband]

I use a simple cheap sustain pedal that came with a Yamaha keyboard

[@SelfPropelledDestiny]

@@strandedaliensband That's great! I have a Casio digital piano, but the polarity is reversed, so it only triggers once released. If I tap really fast, it could work but not ideal. I'll have to see about a Yamaha one.

[@mmhcreates]

A nice workaround, if you don't have a pedal. thanks for sharing.

[@darionovak2477]

Super! Thx!!!

[@girlinagale]

Blank loop works by holding loop Stop and tapping loop Start. Takes half a second. Set the measures beforehand.

[@lurkerlew2136]

That's in the video!

[@girlinagale]

@@lurkerlew2136 You seemed hesitant, I needed to clarify how quick it is.

[@lurkerlew2136]

@@girlinagale I hadn't actually done it in a while, so fair enough. The main point of the video was to illustrate that once you get a blank loop you can trigger a new recording purely with audio input, though.

[@joemonroe1106]

The guitar doesn't actually "trigger" anything here. He has already triggered the overdub by hand before he picked up the guitar. The looper is recording overdubs of silence from the moment he tapped to overdub mode (yellow light). There is no sound to record until you actually play something. No "trigger" ever happens from the instrument. As long as that track button is yellow...the looper is recording. Either silence or sound.

[@30years2late]

@@lurkerlew2136 it doesn’t though

[@DJstickey]

Love it,helps me to get synced Basslines and so on

[@jerryspiteri68]

What about when you tap to record when its red how does the say on no loop 1 auto play after you record without tapping ? I did this and now cant find why it's not going yellow after 4 messures?

[@SgtJesseDowning]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@OGBlackBridge]

Technically it only loops a deliberate sound, and although it does continue to loop over and over while "waiting" for an input signal, it only loops a specific and deliberate sound. Although recording isn't triggered and kicked on by a signal, it does continue to "listen" for another loop and automatically add more loops to the same track as long as you keep it in record mode.

[@Simonchez]

Foot switches can also tackle the 'holding the guitar' problem.

[@djsirprice7959]

You dont need all that. 1. Just click [REC] in overdub mode and u acheive the first thing. U dont need to record a blank first. 2. Just set the length in the Edit mode. I have never heard anyone click Stop & Play at the same time. Are u sure it has any meaning at all?

[@lurkerlew2136]

If you hold stop and play at the same time it will create a blank loop with of the measure length that you set. It's in the manual, I believe.

[@djsirprice7959]

@@lurkerlew2136 ok, I have never heard of that. But if you set the lenght beforehand and then just hit REC I beleave u get the same result.

[@natanunorthodox]

How are you getting the red dots that circle around the stop/play button to show you the amount of measures for each track? Mine just keeps going by 1 or 2 measures for all of them, even if I record a track that is 4 measures, it's still only red circling for two, instead of the 4 that I want it too? Do I have to set the measures first or what else do I have to do? I can't figure it out for some reason, and I tried everything?

Great tip ! Thanks man

[@lurkerlew2136]

Welcome, thanks for watching

[@jerryspiteri68]

Hi there. When I've recorded a section lets say on no 4.... When I stop it,how can i get it to start from the beginning of the loop section instead of half way through the part 4 section ? I'd like to when i press the no 4 loop to start from the beginning of the loop section...Cheers Jay

[@FeverBand]

just set loop sync off

[@alexanderismajlvo3016]

🙏💛🙏

[@stevenluna3756]

can you tap the button only once after recording instead of twice?

[@jerryspiteri68]

What happens if you just qant to play the guitar 1st How does it record and then stop AUTOMATICALLY

[@OGBlackBridge]

This is not the context in which "auto" is used for this looper. You must hit a button or pedal to begin recording but can loop over and over on one track continuously, without hitting any more buttons, as long as you're putting strong inputs onto that track. If it doesn't get a strong signal, it bypasses that measure and stays in record mode until you physically take that channel out of record mode. It is automatic, but not in the way many seem to believe it to be when clicking on this video.

[@TheHumanSoundSystem]

nothing new about this trick but yes it is the way to loop the guitar with the hands free however no good on a noisy stage, back ground noise will build and build. in that situation hitting record on the 2 or 3 of the last bar will give you two beats before recording starts.

[@lurkerlew2136]

Known perhaps to some but I was getting asked about it a lot on Facebook so I made a video demonstration.

[@johnnyrocco123]

That it great! Any certain things you need to change first in the track or memory functions?

[@lurkerlew2136]

Cant recall all of my settings but I know my channels are all on FREE except for when I change any specific ones to a set measure in order to do the instant blank loop technique.

[@TheHumanSoundSystem]

why dont you use position and status for the leds. your video is confusing for begginers because when you punch in the blank loop the lights dont come on due to your settings. personally i use position and status and have no idea why anyone would use any other.

[@Paulmccarthy6801]

How do you enable this setting?

[@joemonroe1106]

Its not a "setting"...its just a blank recorded track, then remaining in overdub mode, until you actually play something.

[@Paulmccarthy6801]

@@joemonroe1106 oh ok I have to try that out. Thanks
