RC600-Using the internal mixer, and routing inputs/outputs to FX, PA, guitar amp etc

[@bobhopkins1449]

Thanks again George, great video. You are the guru on the rc600

[@LRCDetroit]

Thanks Bob, I’m far from an expert but just wanted to share my thoughts so others could understand the simplicity.

[@WaltPitts]

Thanks for sharing this George. I’m finding your insight into the RC 600 very helpful. Really appreciate your videos and your music.

[@LRCDetroit]

Hi there Walt, thanks so much. I am enjoying sharing the workings of the RC, it’s an interesting music making tool. It’s very well thought out and the designers at Boss obviously spent time thinking of it’s possibilities.

[@artnelsoncreative]

You can route the RC-600 to your daw through the usb connector in the RC 600 directly to computer. No need for audio interface.

[@LRCDetroit]

Yes, still haven’t tried that.

[@thechristinedemeo]

Here I am again back at this video…trying to really utilize the mixer of the rc-600 because this is my only mixer live. I’ve been literally running this thing dry. I’ve just now eq’d my vocals for the first time using the rc-600. Game changer! Now just here to ask a question that if I keep my master out knob set to “on” it will still do what I want, but I can just stereo unlink it from the sub mixes and those won’t be affected anymore by the master knob right? Ugh sorry for the lengthy comment😂

Press Enter and Hold for 1 second and release for shortcut to open Mixer

[@LRCDetroit]

That’s a good one, thanks Brian!

[@emiliosujar7197]

Fantastic, you've done it, thank you very much, because in my ear the sound with the amplifier is superior (I've seen an Orange cab behind you, but I don't know what head you use). These are the videos that really serve, without bragging about anything and going directly to the point, so that we can get an idea of the tremendous possibilities of the Rc and also the exact degree of its difficulty. I don't know if you used one or two mics for the amp, I like to use two because I have an open cab, although Oranges, if I remember correctly, is closed. The reverb sounds very good and the only thing that remains for me as a doubt is that in the mixer the Vu meters do not know if they mark the saturation as well as in any sound card or not. You know that with digital the limit normally are between -12 and -8 dB.

[@LRCDetroit]

Hi Emilio, thank you. The amplifier I’m using is an Orange Tremlord 30, a combo with 1x12 and open back. I used one sm57 to mic the amp in front. Yes, the RC is very flexible and powerful with its routing and internal mixer. Balancing the various inputs and outputs is easy. I am playing my first gig with it this week so we’ll see if I am brave enough to use the internal mixer or a traditional mixer 😂. I’m playing on a small patio outdoors so will also run guitar direct into the RC, no guitar amp…easy!

[@emiliosujar7197]

@@LRCDetroit Thanks for answering, I love the sound of the Orange amps, and it's not like Mesa Boogie where you have to be an engineer to equalize, on the contrary they are so simple that it's practically impossible to get a bad sound out of them. I hope, not rather I am sure, that you will leave the level very high there, in that patio where you are going to play. Surely you have already prepared some magnificent presets for the guitar. The only thing that I keep wondering is how to know if you are clipping or not when you play without the help of another mixer. In the videos that are on the internet we can often hear people saturating with the pedal.

[@LRCDetroit]

@@emiliosujar7197 yes I’ve been playing through my PA system for the past couple days and notice that a little compression on the mic, guitar and loops helps keep the tones working together in volume when switching from song to song. I haven’t heard any clipping from the output, even when the meters are obviously at the top of their range. Faders for the mixer would be a great thing to have, especially so one doesn’t have to constantly bend over to adjust the knobs.

[@emiliosujar7197]

@@LRCDetroit I'm glad of what you tell me and I'm sure you were phenomenal, the faders on the mixer seem like the RC 300 had them (although I haven't had any Rc) and the compressor thing doesn't surprise me, although it's necessary in my opinion enough skill to handle them.

[@dancassidy7471]

thanks the output knob is a good idea as I'm getting frustrated with over peaking red lines into bose mixer..was so frustrated

[@LRCDetroit]

Thanks Dan. I recently programmed knob 3 & 4 to control loop level and rhythm level too. Seemed to help on the gig going from song to song.

[@dancassidy7471]

@@LRCDetroit are you able to use RC with your band? Love the videos btw!

[@LRCDetroit]

@@dancassidy7471 thanks Dan...yes, Laura and I have done a couple gigs as a duo with the 600. It does take practice to get good at hitting the right loop on time etc but is a great tool for performance. I used it with the band too when we played continuous sets (no breaks) so the drummer could take a break. The loops sound huge through a nice PA as well. It certainly would be fun to incorporate into the full band!

[@dancassidy7471]

Well now I have to clarify...the overpeaking cracking noise was from the setting I screwed up on my Bose T8S mixer. Poor RC 600 was taking the blame. BTW I love the guitar effects you have chosen

[@dancassidy7471]

I'm not even using my Bose Ts 8 for looping...just into Bose S1 pro twin speakers..both pros and cons

[@Pyriscent]

Is there no way to have reverb on the microphone without using up one of your four input effects? I am fine with the reverb being on both the guitar and the voice but when I switch to my second pedal board for guitar the reverb obviously disappears. I don't want to always have a reverb sitting on all four banks just so that I can use Reverb on the microphone. Reverb should be available on the microphone in the same way that it is available on the track, as a mixer that you can turn on and off independently, just like it is on a nap

[@patrickploenzke489]

Where do you run the Main output knob on the RC600. Trying to work out my gain staging of my drum kit, guitar and bass guitar. Challenging.

[@LRCDetroit]

Good question. Mine is always 1/3 of the way up. I try to leave the mixer outputs at the same value of 100, or unity gain when making loops. You can adjust individual loop volumes within a preset but trying to stay at unity gain beforehand helps maintain consistency.

[@MkenyaMarekaniTV]

Do a video how to connect rc 600 to audio interface

[@sefidrud9161]

I just got this pedal today. It may be explained in the video, but… Is there a way I can hear my real time playing only come out of a particular output. I figured out how to route my bass loops to the bass amp and guitar loops out the guitar amp. But ya, can I also only hear my real-time playing through their respective amp?

[@Pyriscent]

Problem: when I separate the microphone the input affects disappear. As long as the microphone is coming out of the main output it has the output effect but as soon as I send it out through a sub output the input effects disappear. Anyone knows why this is happening?

[@felixsanmartin5]

Hi! I wanted to transfer my Wav tracks from my RC300 to my RC600 and it doesn't play them. Do you know what I can do about it? Thank you !

[@buddyalbert5808]

I would like to hear the fx through a sub out. I can only hear fx through the main outs. Is this possible?

[@sokkpupptz]

Great videos George, thanks!! Only had this a few days but loving it :) Is there a way to use the left and right of a sub separately into 2 separate amps from 2 different mono tracks?

[@LRCDetroit]

Hi Andrew-thank you! That’s a good question. Not sure of the answer but I’ll experiment. Off the top of my head I’ll say no because there’s a bit of signal on each side. Might be able to get around it by panning though.

[@dancassidy7471]

So it is a bit challenging but Ross does have an extensive video on it stating yes. No I haven't got it down yet.

[@johnnywoodward]

Curious if you can assign effects to both mic inputs and NOT the guitar input? Based on the video it seems it’s either one input or all?

[@LRCDetroit]

Yes you can assign that way. Each effect can be set to have its own input. The routing options are great!

[@mikek6998]

5:40 My Inputs dont have L/R for instruments, alongside, my fx are not working on all banks, I did something with assignments 1-16, and reluctanct to do a system restore, but ... well can use some help, thanks for video ... still watching

[@LRCDetroit]

Hi Mike- it's pretty easy to make a mistake with the assigns. Double check them. I used an assign to bank through A-D and was having trouble remembering which bank was on or off...especially when performing, this could be troublesome. Also, both the mic inputs and instrument inputs have a LINK function that can be set. It will definitely change the stereo image in headphones when switching a mono input. Check the manual and parameter guide for the stereo link option...it's fairly easy to find under MENU. Hope that helps!

[@thechristinedemeo]

Is there a way to just run a reverb on your vocal globally? Or do you have to set it for every memory?

[@LRCDetroit]

Hi Christine- YES, there is a global reverb...and it sounds great. Also, you can set a reverb for a microphone/instrument/line input each memory as well. If you program a memory that you like, WRITE the same memory to multiple locations...fairly painless.

[@thechristinedemeo]

@@LRCDetroit I see, so you still basically have to go in to every memory and set reverb on the vocal mic input? I was hoping for something less tedious. I guess I’ll just have to do this on all of mine. Thanks

[@LRCDetroit]

@@thechristinedemeo tedious is the perfect word here 😂

[@thechristinedemeo]

@@LRCDetroit 😂😂it is rather appropriate

[@MikaelLewisify]

So is your guitar going into the RC, then out to amp, then back into rc?

[@LRCDetroit]

Hi Mikael-no, out of RC600 into the amp. The i/o is versatile though so you could do that with an effects loop.

[@MikaelLewisify]

So do you mix everything internally in the RC? Do you use an external mixer at all?

[@timolock4331]

that was sweet! ps it's easier to play bare foot for me depends on how you feel about people seeing your feet or smelling 🤔
