Tim's Top Ten Tips and Advice for Live-Looping
(This video is aimed at new live-loopers and with more of an emphasis if you play cover songs, but can be applicable to seasoned musicians who might play original material too)
RUclips as well all know can be a rabbit hole of information, but I've condensed what I think are the most important things to remember when it comes to live-looping performances. I'm aware this video doesn't give any specific demonstrations or technical advice (I'll look at that in a future video) but for now I hope you enjoy the tips and advice in it's essay format, and I hope it helps!

Live-Looping Uptown Funk: Breakdown!
Просмотров 69День назад
Here's a video that I hope helps anyone whom is new to live-looping, multi-track live-looping or just interested in live-looping in general. I'm a live-looping artist (how many times can I say live-looping? Live-looping! Live-looping!) and I thought I'd break down how I loop Uptown Funk that I perform in my shows as I feel it demonstrates the different elements that go into looping to make a so...
But What Does It SOUND Like? Boss VE-8 Demonstration with 'White Winter Hymnal'
Просмотров 73814 дней назад
A very long time ago I made a video about the Boss Acoustic Singer VE-8 (link below), but didn't give any audio examples of the unit - I hope this video rectifies that! I haven't gone through all the features; just a guitar effect, harmony effect and a basic loop to give you an idea. I decided to use 'White Winter Hymnal' by Fleet Foxes as I wanted to showcase the vocal harmony aspect of the pe...

Angel Eyes - Jerry Cantrell cover
Просмотров 42Месяц назад
This is (hopefully) a redemption post. Today, I met a fellow Jerry Cantrell fan, and it was the conversation I’ve been waiting to have for a very long time. Cantrell is a huge influence of mine, so to have a conversation about him to someone who shared the same love was just the best. Later, when I went on stage to play, I thought I’d play Cantrell’s ‘Angel Eyes’ as a silent nod but butchered ...
Puppet - Timothy Hoad

I re-recorded the first song I ever recorded over 20 years ago, ‘Puppet’. It was a fun experiment, and whilst I’ve no plans to put it on any DSP’s at the minute. It’s not perfect I’ll admit, but I thought I’d leave it here for anyone whom might be interested. Lyrics: I am in the palm of your hand I’ll respond to your every command I’m your puppet, I’m on your strings Make me obey to all of your...

I’ve been working on a song recently called “Ocean Air”, an experiment really, and a channel for some inner musings I had on a recent trip to the coast. It’s gone as far as it can go and before it lives anywhere else, I thought it would live here and on my soundcloud page for now. 🎧: www.soundcloud.com/timhoadacoustic - Lyrics: Whilst holding ocean air in my lungs Watching the waves and just ho...

Thanks for this Timothy. I bought one this evening and will watch your other channel offerings ASAP. Kind regards
Thank you that’s very kind - and awesome! I hope you have a blast!
There’s any echo/delay Fx for vocals too on it ?
Alas ‘fraid not, that’s one of the very few things that it doesn’t offer
That's totally awesome, what that thing can do!!!
It’s really great, I recommend!
On the harmony section, when it’s in hybrid mode….. if you change keys while singing, does it detect that and follow it? Or does it only follow the key that’s dialed in. May seem like a stupid question, I’m just looking for a vocal processor that has an auto-detect function for when I change keys while singing
A very good question and in truth not something I've tried. But if I was to put money on it, hybrid mode is defined by the key that it's set to but the 'hybrid' part means that the harmonies will be a bit more free than just the 'key' version. What I'd do however is to create two presets of the keys you want so you can switch between them (or three if you don't want the harmonies on all the time), that'd work just fine!
Would you still choose this over the newer VE versions? Seems to me like the harmony sounds better on this than the new ones.. more natural.. or is it just me?
Honestly, I probably would still. It's reliability has proven itself if nothing else as it hasn't let me down once over the past 8 years of regular use, and it has all the features I need. I tend to use the harmony feature little and often (see livestream for example!) but it sounds great to me still. But it's all personal preference of course!
Great to hear you play again! Great sound as always. Shame I missed you live streaming, but hopefully I can catch it next time (was disappointed at he lack of Blink182!)
Will! What a pleasant surprise and thanks very much, I hope you and Christina are both well! Keep an eye on my community posts for when the next livestream will be, I'll be sure to include some Blink 182 next time!
Good job,straight forward and thorough!
Thanks very much!
That was great, thanks very much. I'd be interested in seeing how you integrate with the RC 600. I use the looper in the VE 8 with a FS6 footpedal, because I'm too uncoordinated to do the double tap.
Thanks for the kind words. Haha I know what you mean, it’s an art! The integration with the RC-600 - that’s an idea I’ve got for a future video, stay tuned!
Keep Going! Love it 😁
Thank you!🙏
Best review and how to use video for Boss VE-8 pedal on RUclips TY for sharing.
Very kind indeed, thanks very much!
nice representation, really got me thinkin buying one day this kind of stuff. to my ears, those backing vocals are bit over the top... you gotta nice sounding voice, no need for backing vocals, it is bit unnatural sounding, maybe lower volume of it, just a little bite
Thanks very much for your kind feedback and words. I agree, I don't normally have this much vocal harmony going on in a live setting (I like the less-is-more approach!) and at that level, but I thought for the video it's was a good opportunity to hear what it's like with lots of notes and chord progressions going on. Noted for future videos though, thanks! 👍
Hi! Thanks for the video. Speaking of less is more, when it comes to a guitar-voice setup, sounding robotic doesn't seem appropriate. Do you think there's a way to sound natural with lower settings (or maybe they're already low in your example)? That's my last holdout before I buy it.
@ hey there! Interesting you say that, you can change the pitch of the harmonies by raising them or lowering them for sure. In the video, this is the default setting that I’ve just got used to with my voice, but playing around with that might give you a more natural sound (or unnatural if you want that too!). Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for checking out my video! What did you think of the features used? Is there any other feature you'd like to know about? Don't forget to like and subscribe and hopefully I can cover the extra features in a new video!
I don't know still watching through your intro. But you are about to start the demo
cool, thank you!
Thanks!
Can’t seem to use the Vocal harmony in the loop feature No matter what I try?
Silly question but is the vocal loop button (underneath the vocal dial) on?
Hi, what are the chords you used for this cover? This is one of my favorite songs and I like your rendition ❤
Thanks very much! Guitar is tuned one step down, verse: em, g, d, c(variation), asus2 / pre chorus: f, g, a minor, / chorus: asus2, f - I think that’s all correct off the top of my head in my version, should be enough to get you started at least - happy playing!
@timhoadacoustic Thank you :)
Excellent video. Can I program the looper button to be activate the guitar tuner?
Thank you! No, but press and hold the guitar fx button and it’ll turn into the tuner. You can’t reprogram the buttons
great review and tutorial. so clear. thanks
Thanks!
How does this compare with the tc helicon acoustic live pedal ?
Good question, but I can’t answer that as I haven’t used it. Perhaps someone else passing by can!
* I haven’t used a TC helicon!
@@timhoadacoustic thanks 👍 Interested in 1 of the 2
@@jack1234356best of luck in your choice! From what I’ve learned of the TC Helicon and what I know of the VE-8, I’d imagine (as with most things) it’s personal preference. I will say however that the VE-8 is like a Swiss Army knife; guitar and vocal FX, reverbs, looper, different output, battery option, guitar tuner and more!
@@timhoadacoustic Yes I heard they are good, I'll see if I can get a test run on both before I buy ?
Great video. I know I'm getting to this late. But does the pedal have a mic for detecting key or do you need to be playing your guitar through the pedal? I play with a band and I'm really only interested in the vocal effects of this pedal for most gigs. Thanks in advance
Hey! You can either set the pedal to perform harmonies in a specific key (using the KEY button), or follow along with the chords if there is a guitar/other instrument running through it (AUTO button), or a combination of both called Hybrid. You don’t need an instrument running through it for a the harmony to work, as by default it’ll set itself to KEY if it can’t detect an instrument, so just make sure you input the right key. Can’t go wrong. I hope that helps!
I had a brief discussion with Timothy after his performance at Thoresby Hall on the 27th November.I wanted to ask him about the musical equipment he used... very impressive, sounded really good. Thank you for taking the time, Timothy
My pleasure, always happy to chat gear. Thanks very much!
No waist of money.
Interesting, what makes you say that?
Great explanation! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Good review . Do you still use the pedal for gigs ?
Certainly do, it’s my bread and butter. Been using it for over 7 years now and it’s as faithful as ever!
Good video, I will check this pedal out!
You won’t be disappointed!
Hi. Great work on the video. Hey u still using this pedal ir did you upgrade to something else? Thanks
Thank you, nope - still use it to this day!
I have to agree with the comments here. An articulate, relaxed and easy-to-understand demo, one of the best I've seen. Good job Timothy. I am now on the hunt for the VE 8. Thank you😀 P.S. I'd love to see how you use the pedal in conjunction with a Macbook in the live sphere.
That’s so kind, thank you!
Turn the background music off.
Too late now, but will keep that in mind for a future video, thanks!
So helpful bro! Thanks for a very nice review! More videos like this please! Cheers!
Thank you!
So the autotune feature is only through the smaller button? Would be nice to flip that on / off mid song as an effect.
Yes, that’d be cool. But it’s only through the smaller button, however, you could set up a preset with it on and cycle back and forth, that’d work fine!
@@timhoadacoustic that's a good point! Thanks :)
My pleasure! Apologies for the 5 month delay 😂
@@timhoadacoustic you're good! haha - I ended up getting it and have been using it at every gig. Cover gigs and with the original project. Does the job!
Hey that’s great news, glad it’s working well for you. I’ve been using mine for just over 7 years now and it’s as faithful as ever!
Great overview! I'm considering getting this as a backup. I currently use HX Stomp with a TC Helicon Harmony GT. This would simplify my rig drastically
Thanks very much. I’ve got to say it can do a lot on its own so it might indeed simplify the set up!
Great !
Thank you!
can this be used for recording in DAW?
Certainly can 😎
I would use it as a ‘live performance’ capture however, not a professional recording set up. The latter I suppose it could be if you used a condenser mic as it has phantom power, but regardless yes it can be connected via USB if you don’t have an audio interface
Great stuff! What vocal pedal are you using here?
Thanks! Acoustic Singer VE-8, there’s a video about it on my channel!
What is the difference between the acoustic harmonie singer acoustic amp or this pedal
Good question, I’m not sure I’m afraid as I’ve not used an acoustic harmony singer acoustic amp
@timhoadacoustic I have the amp now and I love it ,very easy to navigate..
Well done!
Thank you!
Yet not one demonstration of the actual sound.
Yes, very true. I’ll have to upload some of that at some point!
Thanks bro we’ll explain I have this one. Thanks again for the tutorial God bless
Thank you kindly!
Thanks@ such a complete review and detailed how to video!
Thanks very much!
Thank you! Can you isolate the guitar and vocals into different outputs in effort to run them to different amplification options; i.e. guitar to amp, vocal to mixer?
Absolutely! I split mine so the guitar is XLR output L and vocals is XLR output R!
Can you use this pedal with an electric guitar?
Yes
Yep!
Can use it with electric guitar?
Absolutely!
Thanks for a good review! What are the DAW specifications? well I can check that in the net :D
Great voice
Thank you!
Love it ☀️❄️✨
Thank you (great emoji selection!)!
Sorry if I missed this but do the harmonies have the chord recognition ability like the tc helicon pedals? Thx
The unit has both Auto and Key feature; Auto it recognises the chords and harmonises accordingly, Key is a set parameter to perform in in set key. Hope that helps!
Review reaffirms my opinion. For busking and small venue this one unit effectively ellimates 2 cases of gear for me.
Amazing, I use it for exactly the same. Can’t go wrong!
I only want to use this for harmonies vocals, one other question how do I find the key to the song that I’m singing?
Yes you can use it just for vocals, how to find the key however is a very technical musical question, so I’d say google it if it’s a well known song!
Thanks for your review, Timothy. At this point, I'm simply looking to utilize the pedal for a few basic guitar effects and some harmonizing. I think I've got the harmonizing section figured out, but I seem to have "lost" the Chorus/Effects sections - I had it previously, but now it's gone?? I'm unable to switch to different effects (it's locked onto Ch, which in itself doesn't present any Chorus effects when the Chorus pedal is actuated?). Any thoughts or assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
I had a similar problem which went away, but I put it down to a connectivity/hardware issue. I don't work for Boss myself, but I'm sure they must have a repairs section on their site. Sorry I can't be more help!
Thanks for your prompt reply, Tim. @@timhoadacoustic
where is the speakers hooked up to this unit ??
You can connect speakers directly with via the XLR output, or the jack outputs. Hope that helps!
There is a global EQ I believe
You can EQ the guitar and vocals separately, I’m not sure about global EQ but possibly, it’s a unit that keeps on surprising me!
