Sheeran Looper X Demo - Freedom 90 - George Michael (Loop Cover)

[@thomasheath6029]

THANK YOU for showing your feet working in this video with the pedal.

[@T-Slider]

Great Demonstration! Now would you take that demonstration and give us a slow Mo voiceover to explain exactly what you’re doing, what’s going on and why? A big thank you!

[@alexbirtwell]

I’ll follow up in the coming weeks with something similar

[@thomassimpkins6492]

Well done really great work. I was so excited hearing about this loop pedal.

[@PianoAccoMan]

Great cover! I just purchased the Sheeran Plus for a midi setup but Im having a difficult time getting it to work. Keep up the great work!

[@jeffshirkey3085]

What's the issue?

[@MichaelRothon]

Can't wait for set up vid thanx for taking time looper x set up cool

Plaese do more videos on the looper x pal, this is great

[@guitarplyr]

Awesome to just got one and your awesome needed to see it in action

[@pnluther]

Very Impressive. I just picked up one of these loopers and was excited to see your performance. It seems you have already mastered it! Great job!!!!

[@alexbirtwell]

Thanks so much. Good luck

[@haraldschallerl2973]

Sadly the X is not affordable for me. This device is great! Thanks for showing!

[@FortuneFinders]

Who is it affordable for is the real question lol (rich people, that’s the answer. It’s rich people)

[@pandadoublexl]

@@FortuneFinders it's intended for performers and serious hobbyists. You don't need to be rich to afford this, you just need to be willing to invest in it.

[@Utube-g3g]

I think there’s a smaller version.

[@martinfrancis6633]

Would you say it's worth the money .I am considering getting one . Brilliant video thanks for sharing 👍

[@alexbirtwell]

If you a serious looper then 100% there’s cheaper alternatives to everything you can buy. This thing is built like a tank and Sheeran Loopers are really taking an interest in its users and listening so it’s only going to get better

[@martinfrancis6633]

Cool thanks . Yes I love looping but it can get verry messy with having so much equipment .but hopefully having this will eradicate all them problems as it looks like it does everything

[@MichaelRothon]

Mate you are pioneer for x please do set up for acoustic and vocal settings so can get going on this awesome looper great performance

[@alexbirtwell]

Keep your eyes peeled. I’m going to do a special getting started with the looper x vid soon

[@mindsetoff]

Hi, may ask you a question about the workflow? Is it possible to play the guitar and sing at the same time and record the guitar only to loop track 1 and vocals only to loop track 2 simultaniously? And then I could mute only the vocals on track 2 so that the guitar would still be playing on track 1? I've seen in the manual that I could route the inputs in a way that the guitar goes to loop track1 and the mic goes to loop track 2, but the manual is not really clear whether I can record both sources to individual loop tracks at the same time. Since we're looping, too, I'm looking for a hardware looper that allows me to record loops from different sources all at the same time to individual loop tracks. Great cover, by the way, subbed for more.

[@alexbirtwell]

So point 1 - currently not (I think) but I believe this is being addressed in the firmware I have delved too much on this but currently with the default settings when an input is disabled for a track it also doesn't output through chain, this works on the looperboard though in the way you've described, there maybe a setting to tweak this but I can't find it yet. I've requested the ability to toggle inputs on a footswitch in a future firmware. Currently though the only or easy way to do this is to use an ABY foot switch on your mic with an output going to your PA and the other to your looper. Point 2 - multi track recording - Ive used most leading hardware loopers on the market and sadly I've never seen this as an option I think you may need to look at an ableton computer setup with a midi footswitch as your pedal to achieve something like this

[@mindsetoff]

​@@alexbirtwell Thank you for the quick reply. Both point 1 and 2 were meant to be the same, sorry if I wasn't clear with how I phrased it. It was about being able to record loops of multiple instruments at the same time to individual tracks. Left hand plays keyboard 1 which is going into input 1 and input 1 only goes to loop track 1, right hand plays keyboard 2 which is plugged into input 2 and routed to loop track 2. So now if I play a melody with both hands and record a loop, I still have both instruments separated and full control of them since they are on different loop tracks. Yeah, so far I've only been able to achieve that by using a software solution like Ableton or Loopy Pro...or by having more than one hardware looper. I was hoping that this new looper would make it possible, since their website says that in 'Free Mode' you "can record, overdub, or play all looper tracks simultaneously." But I've not seen anyone actually do that in practice and the wording is not really clear. Can I only "play" all tracks simultaneously or also "record/overdub" all tracks simultaneously? Anyways, thank you for your answer, much appreciated.

[@alexbirtwell]

@@mindsetoff no worries. Just tried in free mode and nope the moment you arm the next track it dubs on that one and stop the previous recording track

[@mindsetoff]

@@alexbirtwell Thank you so much for trying it out. That's a bummer, I was hoping that this looper would actually take it to the next level. Ah well, maybe in the future.

[@carlosvillamil4343]

Is there something I would like to know...does the Sheeran Looper Any more effects for voice? Maybe reverb, delays? Thanks

[@alexbirtwell]

it does it has loads of fx but at the minute they can only applied at track level, pre or post. not a global input fx route but that is coming apparently

[@lionheart1321]

Awesome! Just need a little video editing so you won't look like a penguin playing the guitar, man. Love it.

[@alexbirtwell]

Ha ha for sure

[@charlesgillespie5049]

DAMN!!! nice job

[@alexbirtwell]

Thanks so much

[@zeeb0w]

wow! i’m so excited after seeing all these demos. how do you personally hear the loop output while playing? do you have a floor monitor? i was thinking of getting in ears to avoid feedback into the vocal mic

[@alexbirtwell]

It's all about mic placement. Even live at gigs you don't need to have in ears I don't think as I've looped with them for many years and not had any issues but in ears are never a bad thing so it's all about what works best for you

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Nice 👌

[@alexbirtwell]

Thanks John Paul 🙏

[@Newmusicreview]

You can do that with any decent looper no?...dos it have a guitar tuner as well ;-)

[@alexbirtwell]

For sure, rushed content and guitar is slightly out of tune I admit. Thanks for checking in though and all the best

[@DilanJay]

Hey so this loop has multiple loop lengths right? I see the first loop is like 1 bar.

[@alexbirtwell]

Yeah it's in Sync mode. This means if you record 2 bars on your first track, each subsequent track can be made up as any division of that is 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12. Multi mode (eds default) are all the same length

[@jorgeleonel6663]

Exceptional performance, Alex! Congratulations, well done! Just became a subscriber. What do you think of the X so far? Keep this kind of content coming! Cheers

[@alexbirtwell]

Thank you ❤ I'm use to using the looperboard by headrush and I'll be honest the firmware isn't quite there yet to be a worthy replacement for me, it's Missing customisation for the workflow and assigning fx currently, however speaking to the team it is imminently coming and they are taking onboard the feedback as they do see this as becoming the number 1 looper on the market. Hardware wise this thing is so well built and the foot switches feel great to use when compared to the boss or the looperboard!

[@JoelWilliamHarrison]

Nice work mate, does it have a vocal harmonizer?

[@alexbirtwell]

It sure does there’s loads of different fx on there including vocal fx that can be applied to a specified track either pre or post recording

[@JoelWilliamHarrison]

@@alexbirtwell sweet. I’m yet to hear any demos of them. Wanting to compare to my voicelive 2 🫡

[@danielhoskins4690]

That was class. Well done. Has it been pretty instinctive to learn, or a slow learning curve so far?

[@alexbirtwell]

Yeah it's not hard to learn at all. The more I think about it I can be tempted to start using this workflow going forward. See my other video comparing it to the looperboard

[@twins1017]

Good
