What is the best gear for One Man Band?

[@iPokeStuffwastaken]

I think you weren't expecting this level of support from the internet, you seem surprised people like your stuff, you shouldn't be. You're a great performer and this little video gives the community a bit of insight into who you are as a person too. Thank you for your content! Keep it up!

[@DovydasMusic]

+alexandrustrimbeanu thank you! I'll try to make more interactive content where I talk a little more. I appreciate all of your support!

[@iPokeStuffwastaken]

What i've learned from content creators is that you should make content you like not content people ask for. The rabbit hole goes deep and you don't want to go there. Make stuff for yourself and people will follow!

[@Radiofloyd]

Christopher Walken impersonation @5:08 - Thanks for sharing your setup! Keep the vids coming!

[@DovydasMusic]

+Radiofloyd that is so true! I went and listened back after your comment. It cracked me up!

[@mhajas725]

Hi there, wow that's some nice gear you have to make your one man band it definitely shows in your music, I like those pick holders on your axe, thanks for showing us your gear 🎶🎸🎼🎸🎵

[@DovydasMusic]

+matt Hajas thank you! Yeah, those pick holders were a game changer for me. Otherwise it would end up on the floor or in my mouth or both.

[@aldopolo7]

Wow bro you are sure one of the most versatile musicians I've ever seen, keep doing music man, you are truly an inspiration, from one musician to another I respect you, keep rocking \m/

[@DovydasMusic]

+Aldo Polo thank you!!

[@rubenvasquez774]

Thanks for this man. Keep up the good work

[@Siberial]

Just wanted to let you know your channel is really inspirational. It's really cool to watch you out there doing it every day. We're all huge fans of watching you take your music to people. Cheers.

[@christiangrossetti4904]

You should do a video of your story, and how this is all came to be.

[@DovydasMusic]

thanks for idea. I might do that!

[@christiangrossetti4904]

DØVYDAS Music that would be awesome, I love your videos and your personality. This channel is something different on KZbin.

[@DovydasMusic]

+Christian Grossetti that's so nice of you to say. Thanks!

[@eldridg]

@@DovydasMusic Hey man just wanted to say I'm very grateful for all your videos, you're such an inspiration. Could you do a video how you got into these gigs as a 'solo live looping jam artist'. It would be great to hear about your story coming up

[@thomasbarchen]

Great music you are making!

Holy fuck when you said your looper was dirty cos you use your bare feet I immediately thought that was all dead skin flakes on it, then I remembered you live in Florida and that's sand.

[@jamesharper1729]

I always wanted you to make a video Of your rig. I have it did a live One man show for a while so I wanted to see what You had. Then I stumbled across this video lol I actually have a 400 stage pass that I use with and inspire 2000 tower. This video Is exactly what the doctor ordered lol. rock on bro

[@starmoon1590]

cool , thank you for sharing...love your music!!

[@DovydasMusic]

+violett star thank you!!!

[@starmoon1590]

DØVYDAS Music - !! honoured!!!!

[@Thrash155]

I was looking around for your gear setup and Bam.. There's a video.. I really like the way you layer the sounds and tracks, I just couldn't figure out if it was the Roland or ??? The mixes/videos I've seen are creative and just work. I get confused when your layering them up then when your finished its a great surprise.

[@jwmusicstudio8438]

Hi David, I was just wondering what video camera(s) you were using on the Steve Vai song video? Were they Go Pro's or something else? Thank you and awesome playing!

[@JoseAlvaradoChlebowski29]

Congratulations! Great diversion of gear and effects. I think it all add ups to make a nice sound! One question: How do you sync the sound recorded from the zoom with the video stream?

[@brettdavis5555]

Thank you for making the video. I couldn't believe the sound quality you get in your recordings. Love the shirt!

[@DovydasMusic]

+Brett Davis thank you! It's one of the nicest field recorders out there when it comes to sound quality.

[@JudgeFredd]

Thank you for sharing with us

[@ellienicole78]

Me and my husband love your music, they way you mix is amazing. When your on the streets what's the arranger called?

[@EdisonGrove]

Thank you for the great content!

[@letsgobubblegum]

what are those headphones? They look kinda like Grado's but they aren't. Just curious.

[@yousefalsarraf95]

I got the exact same mixer and speakers :) pretty awesome setup bro \m/

[@mountain1253]

What type of music does your band play?

[@iordacheandrei6631]

I was wondering what camera are you using in your videos. Is it like a gopro or something? Is there any chance you could tell me what are you using? Thx!

[@TheTruth-iq9lk]

What nationality are you? I swear first i thought English...then USA...and now maybe European but with an American accent... Edit: Where you're from is irrelevant. The language you speak - your music - transcends borders and cultures. Fucking awesome.

[@DovydasMusic]

+The Truth I'm part Lithuanian, Polish, Gipsy, Russian, Jew, German. There could be more but that's all I know from my research. Thank you!!!!

[@DebErney]

I'ver recently started watching your videos and am in awe of your looping capabilities. It is truly an art in itself.

[@limited2all]

new subscriber here - diggin' the music! question: what's the story behind your ring - it's very interesting! cheers from dk \m/

[@DovydasMusic]

+somethingsomethingmusic thank you! The rings are actually two. They were given to me by this man who was close to Willie Brown. Upon receiving the rings I swore an oath never to reveal their secrets.

[@mountain1253]

DØVYDAS Music that's pretty fricking cool. Love your stuff keep making videos.

[@DrumingBlackOut]

hey great set up and great video, i was just wondering how you edit the EQ and volume for each instrument? because its all mixed together before it gets to the mixer isnt it?

[@melvindm4079]

Hey the videos are awesome...I am wondering what string dampener you are using on your Schecter. I can't seem to find one like that anywhere.

[@mattfenclm3716]

This is awesome man…..are there any changes or upgrades since this post? What kind of mic do you use, and have you ever used a wireless transmitter setup? Thanks, (MITH from Nebraska)

[@paudiaz4660]

Very interesting, I would love to play around with that setup.

[@DovydasMusic]

+Pau Díaz it's like a spaceship control panel. Took a while to get used to it.

[@chrissoares23]

Thanks David! Cool setup. Very inspiring. Love your music and playing. Looking forward to more vids.

[@DovydasMusic]

+Chris Soares thank you! Will be posting more fore sure!

[@Sloposse]

That tender surrender video was great you should make it a regular ive watched it over and over since you posted it, imo its better than steve vai's original, he may be a better guitarist but your version sounded much nicer, you rock man

[@DovydasMusic]

+SmokinSlo you're too kind! But thank you!

[@stgeorge6947]

SmokinSlo ya it's awesome.

[@willembergquist4646]

What is it that you put on the 1st fret of your guitar i love your style and i wanna try anything to incorporate it into my own music

[@nellNdaughter]

Hey Dovydas, nice fkn music! I'm also a musician but rather studio based, got a lot of nice sounds in the laptop with & ableton launchpad but when it comes to playing live, it's not practical, wtf if your computer crash or you accidently pull the usb cable from the soundcard... bye bye performance. So amazon, here I come :) Now my question, why do you use the headphones? Do you have like a 30s-1min testing out your sounds and loops without the cround hearing? Is it for metronome ? Now the looper, I thought that the Boss rc300 footpedal was for guitarist and the rc505 for vocalist or handsfree player. Why did u go with the 505 over the rc300 ??! Thanks !

[@peteytwofinger]

really great stuff pal . i wonder if this set has changed a lot since . that amt pedal is cool , i have only seen those maybe once . also love the sustainiac system in the 7 string . very cool stuff .

[@roolee2k]

if you look the word "Musician" in Oxford dictionary, the name DOVYDAS will showed up

[@DovydasMusic]

lol!

[@TravisBeckMusic]

You've inspire me to step my game up on my one man shows. I'm going to take it from just acoustic covers to something similar to what your doing. I'm going to try and run drum, bass, and synth loops from my computer with external midi controllers. APC 40, midi keyboards, etc. I may however have to run my guitar separately so there's not latency issues. I'll let you know what I'm working with once I get a setup up and running. Thanks for the inspiration and the detailed walk through of your rig!

[@DovydasMusic]

+Travis Beck awesome! Please keep me uodated. Would love to maybe even see a video too!

[@TravisBeckMusic]

For sure!

[@Breatheable]

Do they give you the room for the night + pay when you play at these places?

[@DovydasMusic]

+Breatheable no room just the pay

[@danarbeau6437]

I really like your one man band stuff. Very good inspiration!

[@DovydasMusic]

+DÅRB0T glad you like it! Thank you!

[@thestraniero]

A one man band is someone who plays many instruments by themselves at the same time. You are a looper or "piano bar" musician, not a true one man band. No offense meant but calling what you do a one man band is offensive to me...

[@cajuncookingwithdougkelly9444]

I would love to hear you do a cover of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer". I have been watching all your videos and I really dig your sound. Keep up the good work.

[@ShawnCothran]

Dude, so cool. I do a drumless version with just my guitar split out of the effects out of a boss oc-3 to a sans amp for bass tones, and the effects loop section of an ehx super ego (with a bunch of fx inline) to a separate preamp for keys/pads, then back in, all looping in a strymon timeline. the single instrument version of what you're doing! It is super fun. Great job

[@wabreamanglers]

Awesome mate. What's that wrap u have on the top of the neck of your guitar.

[@emilweideborg5814]

Can u do a video of how u use the looper and sync with live?

[@DovydasMusic]

I had same question... how it's mounted too.. so very solid it's amazing. Also, wondering about headphones you're using.. the mic with the blue light (so cool).. and whatever that thingy is you have around the 1st fret of your guitar.... all kinds of cool stuff! Great vid's... keep 'em coming!

[@plexified5343]

Great rig rundown and very nice pro set up, clearly a lot of pro knowledge , putting that all together. I was wondering about the cool sustain you get, it seems like its almost on demand. Is that the sustain of the guitar alone , the Sustainiac or the multi tone? And lastly are the p.a. speakers self powered or is the mixer also the amp. Many Thanx

[@DovydasMusic]

+Plexified it took a year to put it all together. Powered mixer and sustainiac pickup in the guitar. Thanks!

[@jeffreymabbe9829]

👍👍👍👍

[@matthewlau7241]

what headphones do you use?

[@hendrixspain]

hello friend, you play really well and you have a lot of musical taste, I wanted to ask you how to connect your rc 505 to your instruments, I suppose you have the guitar, the keyboard and the drumpad also connected to the looper, but as you do, something in the aux Thank you and forgive the translation of google I am Spanish and I do not know much of English.

[@dolanstonlay9167]

anyone know what the thing on the first fret of his guitar is? is it just a capo or something else?

[@GuitarGrrrella]

This is very helpful. Thanks. I've been saving drum tracks on my phone then hooking it up to a PA. The sound isn't right... Hope to get some $$ saved up for better gear.

[@tjblosch8820]

How long did it take you to figure out that crazy set up? It is truly a incredible set up but quite confusing!!! Awesome!

[@EthanMinard]

Do you listen to a click for your looping stuff?

[@vapearoocom1774]

You’ve probably already been asked this but what are you using your headphone for in your live set? Are you able to run a click out of the 505 or are you just using them as a monitor?

[@DovydasMusic]

I run a headphone out from rc 505 and that's my click track. You can see me take the headphones off after I'm done laying down all of the parts.

[@flgator311]

Thank you sir you are a great talent.

[@keithadcock2381]

[@3dsman]

What were you using before you got the RC505? I am still trying to learn looping after failed attempts with two versions of the Jamman. I've heard brilliant things done with the Boss loopers but don't know that i need a $500 looper as my first looper. I'm sure I could get one of the previous generations of the the Boss much cheaper on eBay than the RC505 so, would like to know what single feature of the RC505 made it worth the $ in your view, or from another perspective... looking back at previous versions of the Boss loopers, which of the previous versions would be the 'least' capable version you could still get by with and do 90+% of the stuff you do today without problems? Seems like it would be a better place for me to start than acting like buying latest/greatest tech will automatically make me Dovydas. ;-)

[@DovydasMusic]

I started on rc3, then switched to rc30 and did that for a long time. Then had rc300 for a little bit but shortly after got rc505. If you are just getting into try rc3 or rc30. It's simple and you'll get the basic idea of looping.

[@3dsman]

@@DovydasMusic Thank you sir!! Get on that album of yours!! We're all waiting for it! Cheers!

[@3dsman]

@@DovydasMusic Oh... missed a question... what was the one (or two) feature(s) of the RC505 that made it worth leaving the RC300? Put another way, if you had to go back to the RC300 what would the feature(s) you would miss the most? Good luck with what lies ahead!!

[@DovydasMusic]

Mainly 5 tracks vs 3 tracks. Rc 300 has 3 tracks but 505 has 5 so I thought the more the better which when looping for me usually is. If i continue looping I'll probably get another 505 and sync them together just to have 10 tracks in total
