Looper pedal tips or loop pedal tips are here! The loop pedal i'm using is this (and it's amazing): amzn.to/2kZMUDV
Join me on PATREON here: / davidshanhun
Today's Thursday Tech Tips video is '3 sneaky looper pedal tips to improve your looping shows' and I SERIOUSLY hope you spend a bit of time on these. They will massively help your live shows - and hopefully inspire some more creativity about how you can build your loops (either at home or for shows and gigs).
Oh and the Boss Octave pedal is a must also if you're a solo one man band: amzn.to/2xZDvFA
I know I know... for those of you that follow me this is being uploaded on a Monday... I had some issues with editing software hence the delay.
Anyway, let me know which loop pedal you're using and whether these tips are something you do anyway, or if you learnt something new on how to use a loop pedal.
I'll be back this Thursday with another vid!
--also thanks - forgot to write that the iphone app I use for my loops is iMaschine 2.

Want to improve your live looping? We're running a workshop THIS weekend: bit.ly/LiveLoopingWorkshop
David you are a "real" musician who is prepared to share your fabulous music and tips. Whenever I need to feel happy I play your version of Englishman In New York. Wonderful. Just keep playing, and keep sharing, we are here waiting to be taken on a magical musical tour.
Thanks so much for this comment Monty! Much appreciated 😊
You’re really good at what you do. You never have to apologise either in a demo or a gig. Love your voice, your kindness and you gift for teaching. Keep it up 👍
Thankyou 😊
I can see the hard work and focus required to reach your level of ability and your natural talent is evident. I can surely appreciate what it takes to be a loop artist.
I've been a gigging musician for 44 years. But, although I've long wanted to, I've never performed a whole solo acoustic show. That's about to change. I have a three hour show prepared and would like to implement some very basic looping on some songs. I can't say my plans will never change, but at this point, I'm not looking toward ever being a loop performer, just a solo gigging musician.
Again, I see and sincerely commend loop performers for all they do. But I've never been able to enjoy a full looping show. You've touched a few times on why and I commend you for making an effort in that regard.
But the reasons I can't stay engaged for a whole looper show are:
1. It takes far too long to get to the entertaining part of a song.
2. Regardless of how proficient the performer is at seamlessly multitasking, he or she seems disconnected from the audience, unable to fully engage.
3. Instead of an entertaining mix of beloved, average length, classic covers, every show becomes a test of endurance for the listener where every one among the minimized number of songs is drudgery while waiting for the payoff.
4. Dynamics, mood, and lyrical meaning are all but lost because every song takes on a droning sound like a 10 minute electro dance track.
When I go to a solo show, I'm not looking for a full band experience. When I want that, I go see a band. What I want from a solo performer is to be moved by dynamics, touch, and lyrics so effectively that I feel the experience of a song as if I've lived it myself. To me, that's lost in looping.
But looping IS far better than backing tracks.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on this! I hope you have fun including a few loops that fit your vibe into your show and enjoy doing the solo show vibes for the first time!
What a voice! Love that accent! What a sunny personality! 😍
Nice,practical and musical tips! The most important takeaway for me is to not bore the crap out of your audience while you're building tracks but arrange it so that it's musical from the start. Adding stops is another great tip. My tendency is to play full songs and then noodle on them but hopefully the picking/chording of the song is interesting enough to listen too.
Thanks Bryan! I'm glad it had some useful ideas for you 😊
Everything is great about your video: the looping ideas, your personality, guitar playing and vocals. And the spontaneity as well. Had to hit subscribe.
aww thankyou! welcome to the channel!
Hey I’m 16 just got my first ever loop pedal and this video really helped me thank you so much man
Awesome Brandon! feel free to message me if there's something you think I could help you with. Otherwise have fun man!
I'm 39 and I just got my first looper pedal! 16 is an awesome time to get stuck in to making music. Pro tip: don't give it up for anything, man. School, college, work, family... keep it forever it's one of the finest things in life. Also... good luck slaying the loops. I'm STILL sh** at getting the in/out timing down so you already have a head start haha
When you get carried away--you carry us away with you! Well done!
ah love this thankyou!
Great tips, I'm just beginning at this with an rc 300, I like it a lot and I couldn't agree more with you! I have watched too many people that think they have to add everything they have to the loop and as it comes in it sounds enchanting but after about 30 seconds it just sounds irritating. So, that's what I want to learn is how less is more, the basic lay down to play through out and what to add and delete and redo as you go through.
Thanks again.
Great pedal the RC300 I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun! There's SOOO many ways you can approach songs and looping with a pedal like that. Lots of fun experimenting I reckon!
Amazing tutorial man! I just now, after about 15 years of playing picked up a looper to add a bit to my bedroom playing. Great video!
Thanks Ryan! Lots of fun to be had for you!
The playing had EVERYTHING to do with the tutorial. You would be great without the looper, but you are greater still with it. I have looped for years and yes I use the dickens out of recording first verse while singing and it is ready for my solo....which is to break up looper numbing. I really like your stop before chorus. I also love your voice, song choice, guitar choice, guitar playing and treatment of each song. Yes these are somebody else's songs but you make them your signature version. I have always wanted a way to do free falling because it get's requested sooo much. I think I am going to borrow liberally that version. Thanks for being a real player and sharing your time and talents. Cheers!
These 3 tips are priceless in avoiding monotonous loops and are exactly why you are my go-to channel to learn looping. I performed in bands and as a solo with MIDI tracks I created for over 3 decades. I am now interested in playing as an acoustic solo with a looper. Your channel has been an awesome resource for me. Many thanks...you are the best!
Thanks so much stringbender! Lots of fun creating looping tunes with the acoustic. What loop pedal are you using?
You Know What,,,,, i would absolutely love to hear a pro recorded version of what you just did... you have such amazing feel and sound and a timbre in your voice that makes me green with envy, not to mention your playing ability.... and virtually nothing processing your voice.. absolutely love it... if you have recorded a version of this please please point me in the direction to get a listen.. thank you so much
Thanks for the info, the length is fine plus it’s good when u go off on a side jam so we can see u in action👌🏽
haha sweet! Cheers Steve! I often edit those parts out haha. but perhaps they're better to keep in more often!
You forgot that you do a tutorial video and enjoyed playing....
I forgot that i watch a tutorial and enjoyed listening. Thank you for some great music.
aww I love this comment! Thankyou!! :)
Nice tips David. My problem is to quickly build songs with many chords or sections. I tend to use more percussive sounds and do/undo. Please talk about this. Thanks
EXCELENTE VIDEO, !!! eres el primer looperman que sigo y ojo hace muchos años que tengo un rc-3, lo loco del looper es que mientras mas lo practicas mas desafios te encuentras sobretodo cuando ya lo incorporas en tu "staff" creativo, te felicito son tips que funcionan 100%, hay mucho trabajo en lograr que salgan lo menos artificiales posibles, siempre la idea es que suene lo mas "organico" posible ...el loop es solo un "recurso" una segundo ( o tercera o cuarta, o quinta guitarra, bajo o percusión) que nos puede acompañar, gracias por tu experiencia eres muy generoso y eso siempre se agradece
Thanks! Hope you continue to have a lot of fun creating extra parts with your RC-3! 😊
This is geat. He addresses two of my biggest complaints whenever i see a looper. Tip one and two are indispensible guides (tip two helps you with tip one). The monotony is real, and I hate when someone starts a song and then a minute or two later they finally start the song.
Thanks mate!
Awesome tutorial, I appreciate your input. Been playing guitar or over 30 years an tired of the club scene so I am jumping into looping with a Digitech JamMan TX. Thank you!
thanks Alex. Hope you're having fun with the new looper!
Most helpful vid I found since buying my first looper.
Thank you
ah thanks for this comment!
Your looper tips are great. Learned a lot watching your looping tips.
Thanks Deb!
Gotta hear more of you,...unique vocal tone, and superb playing....and oh yes, great looping tips! Inspiring, thank you! If you were local my wife and I would escape to your gigs for “peace of mind.”
Know that each performance you give is an unwrapping of your gift for all to enjoy. Wish you the best success. Thanx again.
Thank you Leo. ❤️I really appreciated receiving this comment from you. Where in the world are you?
David Shanhun Hi David..surprised to get a reply from you. We are from Fremont Ca. Between San Francisco and San Jose. I hope you’re still touching lives with your music 😊
@@leonarddequinia9453 Hope all is well up there and hope to venture up there next time I'm in LA! Still playing and singing for sure! 😊
I stopped using looper cause I always get hiss it drove me so mad I took it to cash converter. You sound amazing man, thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍
you have such an easy way about you, works great for teaching, and just plain listening to you.. Thanks Trying to decide if I want this. Think so.
thank you Shirley ❤️
That’s great buddy. Don’t worry about apologising for little mistakes. From this end the loops sound great. We wouldn’t have noticed them believe me!
aww thankyou! 😊
I have a horse-kick pro stompbox that runs in the same signal chain as the guitar, so I can record percussion and guitar together 👍 Only thing is you’re pretty restricted in the rhythms you can make, but if there was a product where you can make percussion with your feet, it would cut the looping time in half. Good hack.
ooh yeah this is a great option. Becomes a funny one of how many different grooves and rhythms your brain can handle and a whole lot of practise to make them smooth the more complicated they get between guitar/vocals and footwork eh haha! A guy that drums amazingly whilst playing guitar and singing live is Shaun Kirk - check him out (he's running a electronic kit, with foot triggers as his pedals).
Amazing video dude. You really project a positive vibe while showing these tips. Massive help to me after just purchasing my first loop pedal (rc-30) can’t wait to start playing around with it. Too many people on you tube take too long I think in getting into the song, Layering needless vocals/harmonies for about 5 mins.
Thanks Bryan! Congrats on the first loop pedal! Super fun headed your way as you play with it! Feel free to say hi anytime if you think I can answer a question for you etc :)
I just got one. It's super cool so far.
Brian Donoghue - I agree with you! The first solo I heard using a looper and many since then annoyed me and gave me a bad impression of loopers period!. It would take them 5 minutes to build the loop, 3 minutes singing the song, another 5 minutes noodling around on the guitar, then 3 more minutes singing and finally the end. Good grief that is boring and monotonous as hell. At that rate you'd only need to know 12 songs for a 4 hour gig...lmao!
David superb! 1. Could you give more info on phone apps you use drums and set lists? 2. Explain bit sample rates for loopers and what do you prefer 16k or 24k? And 3. How would you add a keyboard if you played in loop setup?
hey Randy! The phone app I use is called iMaschine 2. I don't use any other apps or use specific set lists unless it's a ticketed type originals show. Sample rates for loopers in most cases I haven't had cause to be concerned about it - I'm using the RC300 currently and I'm happy with the sound - although the RC600 is out and has much improved audio, so I'll be curious to see how much I notice a change down the track.
For adding a keyboard I think there's two options - one is you have your guitar and keyboard go into a mixer before the loop pedal which works well (although is a bit of extra gear). Or depending on your looper you can go into a spare input or an AUX input etc - you might have to buy a different cable or adaptor to do this, but that's the most common solution I've seen! Hope that helps brother!
Hey David, great tricks! I like how you have really kept the musicality in your approach to looping. You’re clearly a great producer, thanks for sharing the ideas, I’ll definitely be using these in my sets...
Thanks Oliver! Hope it helps you with your live shows! 👌
very nicely done and great information i dont have more than a single button looper but i dig the layering and structure you build on. freefalling and dreams are great songs that stand times test...
Thanks! Yep - two great songs right there!
David you’re a legend
Well thanks Adam! 😎
Dave, I am FUSSY and it’s neither loose nor messy hehe. I have FINALLY got around to deep diving into the VL3 so naturally, my first port of call is Dave Island 🤩
You are the reason I bought one, along with Rob chapman! It would help massively if we could see the VL3 close up? I know it’s a ball ache because I make YT videos and it takes me weeks to make just basic one’s! Be awesome to be able to see exactly what you are choosing with each foot tap 😎
Great stuff David! Thank you. It would be wonderful if your picture in picture of the VL3 was larger so we could see the LCD screen while you make your changes. 🙂
cheers! Thanks for the suggestion - much appreciated :)
Thank you so much for sharing your joy and spontaneity plus your incredible talent and likability ! best of luck to you sir
Thanks Alan!
I have a question for everybody: Do you know of a looper with 4 different outputs? I have RC3 and an old AC 30 and a new tweed. I can loop one guitar on each amp. Sounds great. Now I want to be able to do the same with the bass on the bass amp and a drum on a separate amp. Any idea?
Can you do a video of how you set up your looping station whit a drumpad?
different setup now to do this - but in this video I was using an app on my phone into the aux input of this looper. So long as your loop pedal accepts more than one input you can do it!
Thank you for sharing, I just started messing about with a loop app on my phone yesterday. So far I've just been looping beatbox and rapping but I'm going to want some guitar tracks as soon as I get adventurous :) you sound great!
Cool! Have fun experimenting with your new app! Look forward to hearing the guitar loops once you get to them!
I love your channel, thank you for making these videos! Would love to see you perform one day!
Thank you! Where in the world are you?
@@davidshanhun philadelphia, PA!
Very Nice. I'm using Ableton to live loop, but it's not that organic as a looper pedal. I'm wondering how to apply tip 3 while recording the whole performance using Ableton? 🤔
I'm recording cause that's all we can do, right? It's weird we can't just go to a stage and play with a real audience just like before...
Anyways... Great content. Please, keep doing it. Cheers
Genuinely good dude I reckon. Great Stuff.. Thanks.
cheers John!
I have that Voice live 3 and seldom use it for looping as I have the huge boss RC 300 which is actually very confusing to set up a verse and chorus...I have done nice work on it but afraid to live feed on FB with it yet
I've just switched to using the rc300 as my main looper also! I'm typically putting a groove on track 1 and keeping it running, then using 2 for the verse and 3 for chorus when I do that kind of setup. Curious about how you set yours up now! 😝
@@davidshanhun yes exactly after struggling with best use. I started just laying down songs more as backing tracks
I'm always looking for looping inspiration and this is the best vid I've seen yet. Thanks and please share more!
Thanks so much Elliott! Appreciate that. More to come in 2020!
@@davidshanhun thanks for the reply. Been trying to work out what you are playing during chorus of Dancing in the Moonlight (on your looping suggestions vid). Any chance you could share that slower? Cheers bud
@@enb heya! Merry Christmas 😊I'm basically playing 6ths on the guitar - 1st and 3rd strings together. Are you able to jump on a laptop to watch it? If you click the 'settings' gear icon in the bottom on a laptop or computer you'll see 'playback speed' and can set it as low as .25 speed. Let me know if that helps!
@@davidshanhun David i really appreciate the time you take to answer properly. Gonna give this a go right away. Cheers mate and happy 2020!
@@davidshanhun here's current result of your lessons. Lmk what you think...and how i should record for better (and affordable sound quality)...this was just smartphone video. Cherrs and rock on David!

Rather than downtuning the guitar for the bass, either plug in a second guitar, a small body electro acoustic bass, or just whacking up the bass and rolling off all the treble on your guitar is enough. The octave shifter doesn't always work. It's ok going up but down, it often sounds a but out of tune where it slows down the wave to drop the pitch.
yep good suggestions/options! Can be a bit interesting using an octave pedal/effect of some sort. I'm keen to test the POG and see how it is at some stage :)
Great! Thank you for sharing your tips. That was very helpful for me.
And I enjoyed you playing, singing and your lovely personality.
awesome! glad you got something out of it!! :)
and thanks for the nice comments tooo!
You're awesome man! I really appreciate all of these tutorials - inspiring!
thanks brother! Happy looping!
Great tips and video! Couldn't agree more on shortening the "loop build". I watch all kinds of RUclips loopers and long intro's can easily suck the life out of a performance.
I am currently using a Boss RC-300 and love having the flexibility of 3 separate tracks. I just recently added a Roland GR-55 to the mix and am having fun with the endless possibilities it provides.
BTW- Great guitar work and vocals...Cheers!
Thanks Mike! I've considered the RC 300 and the Roland Gr-55 many times! Very cool combo! Would be great having loop number 3 to add in and out of the mix! :)
A lot of that is down to the limitations of the looper. I use the RC300, which allows you to have 3 channels, and you can have a different length loop on each channel. Apart from Ed Sheeran's custom build, it's the ONLY pedal on the market that gives you that option, meaning you're not having to construct long and perfectly in time percussive loops to fit with your vocal and guitar loops, which you usually want to be 4/8/16 bars. Happy to share how you unlock that little feature in the RC300 if it's of any use. Once you get that down, there's no other pedal really for in depth live looping gigs. PS great video mate!
What I don't understand about looping is, what do you do when you want to jump to a different chord progression maybe for a chorus with different chords or a bridge section. If you start a new loop for those then it'll just sound empty... Hope you have tips for this.
Hey Ivan - I did a video on exactly this!! It's an interesting one to navigate and there are a few ways to do it. what you mentioned is the biggest frustration I have with looping for particular songs! Here's the vid anyway - be keen to know if you can use these ideas for what you do when the chord sequence changes. ruclips.net/video/xHGrMIk1NpI/видео.html
Great stuff mate! Very nice playing / singing - and great job showing the T.C. Helicon VoiceLive 3
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this. It really helps; there's not much info out there about how to actually do the looping. Thank you!
Thanks Roshana! I'm glad it helps! :)
Thanks so much. I'm currently shopping Loopers. This video has help me with both how to use it as well as what to look for in a Loopers.
Thanks Sean - glad it's helped. Let me know which one you end up with!
Great ideas I just bought the newer model and I subscribed
Awesome! You’ve got lots of fun in store with the VL3x!
Good ideas for getting more out of my looper, and slick execution!
Thanks Eric!
You do a really good job. I really like your Guitar sound. The Takamini (spell guess?) has a great sound to it. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊
What effects are on your voice? And what did you put on your guitar?
Do you pretty well keep those constant?
Hey Steve, I just have a reverb on my vocal, and same for guitar with a bit of compression. For my acoustic sound then I keep those settings very constant, and the vocal stays pretty much the same for me, with the occasional fun change for interest etc, but I don't try and match or change each tone for each song specifically. For the guitar lead, I have an overdrive running with a bit of delay also. 😊
Awesome motivation DS
Thank you!
Thinks for the tups.
haha nice accent!! 👌
Sweet! Great pointers! gives me encouragement to tackle this. Thank you so much. Im new to this whole looping thing. I am still in the stage of deciding which machine is best for me, and my skills.
Awesome Rex! lots of fun to be had with looping!
I really had fun watching this video, I hope that other people are just as entertained when they watch one of my own video's.
I'm glad! That's the idea eh? Hopefully people like you both enjoy them and learn something too!
It hardly happens to me: To watch a single video and fall in love with its content.
But it just happened!
I am THINKING of doing some gigs all by myself, and using Loopers as well.
Have never used them live and also cannot sing...
But seeing how much you enjoy doing this, and how you make it look easier than it actually is, is an inspiration to at least try!
Awesome video!
thank you so much for this comment! This is awesome!!! 😊get a simple looper and start experimenting!!! it's lots of fun (and of course sometimes frustrating while we learn haha but then very rewarding later!)
You are covering the topics I’m wondering about! Thank you!! Very helpful
sweet! what pedal have you got?
It’ll be working with a iRig Blueboard, a mic and guitar with Mac OS and IOS. I’ll use the board to control Garageband and AmpliTube. But I am still very beginner level, not ready for the stage but I want to expand and learn. Thank you for the way you explained your tips. It’s what I was wanting to know.
cool! Have a friend that uses one with great results! Have fun with it, so glad I could help :)
Nice tutorial, nice singing nice playing man. Hope one day to play music together
Thanks! Where in the world are you from?
Great tips David. Thx for the insight.
Thanks and most welcome! Happy looping!
Very cool. I'm using the RC-300 and am slowly adding a decent repertoire to it. I've probably only scratched the surface of what I can do with it, but it's already working well for me and bringing songs back to me that are really quite dull without it. Good tips - I stumbled upon the dropping things out by accident one time when I hit the wrong button and stopped the rhythm guitar and it sounded great when the it came back in again. Dynamics baby!
YESSS!! dynamics all the way - makes such a difference! RC 300 is awesome eh!
Thank you for this awesome video, David! Very helpful
Most welcome Tania! 😊
Love the Takamine. Sounds great!!
Thanks Mike!
Was lovely to hear that Fleetwood Mac tune. Very nice. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks and you're most welcome! Hope it sparked some ideas for you 👌
It did! Currently just have the lil TC ditto looper and have been looking at vocal harmony pedals too, but like how the voice live incorporates it all in one, with additional effects, Very cool! Look forward to exploring your channel, I'm getting my songs together for upcoming gigs. Appreciate it.
awesome! the downside of the voicelive 3 all being in one pedal is that you do have to switch screens sometimes to access different parts. It took me a few weeks to get my brain around it after using single pedals for so long :)
but of course.... also awesome having everything in one unit with so many features and options!
I’m a 20 year old who’s a bit ignorant to Fleetwood Mac. I know Go Your Own Way and the song he played (Dreams?) sounded familiar, but I am not familiar with them like I should. So.. would you share your favorite song or album from them? That might help me find a place to start, cause I know they have a lot of music
nice video.. 😀 like how u lough 😁...thats beautiful music...
Thanks Ricky!
That was stunning, thanks David
A big plus is that you are obviously enjoying doing that - Makes a HUGE difference
I play purely for shits and giggles and about to start using the looper in my GT-1 which is a simple one track addition to the whole FX package, but a RC-30 next on the 'to-be-acquired' list
Clips like this are an absolute boon, thanks for the effort
Thanks so much Damien! I really love doing this and it's so cool that you got lots of out of it too! Win-win! 😊😊
Your videos are great David! Keep em coming. Such a polished musician.
Didn't recognize any of these songs or singers. But did a great job.
Except, Tom Petty, of course. An oldie. Just most not my preference or genre of music.
all good! Hope there were a few ideas for you all the same!
I appreciate your vibe man. Really well done! I wish I would have seen you live when I was in Auckland 2 years back.
Thanks Michael! Plan another trip here haha! Where abouts in the world do you live?
@@davidshanhun haha well Auckland isn't quite around the corner though... I am originally from Germany but live close to Amsterdam:)
@@michaelsprehe9310 yes very true! hopefully I'll get back across that way at some stage!
great help thanks very much...
Thanks!
“One bwar, two bwAaAaARs” 🤪 good video mate
hehe thanks!
What’s the name of the loop station?
Such a wonderful and sweet demonstration :)
Thankyou. The loop pedal in this is the Voicelive3
Great video! I'm not very good at looping; glad I discovered your channel! Thank you! 🙏
Its be cool to see a live stream of song suggestions and see you build a loop performance for it. Real good stuff
Adding that to my list for videos/live sessions 👌 thanks.
nice job well done Thank You !!
Cheers!
Are there any shortcuts on how to memorize lyrics?
My friend acts out the lyrics while he's repeating/remembering them which I think is cool. Other wise repetition and practise!!
I just bought my first looper so I am going to use these tricks.
Awesome! lots of fun ahead of you!
So, why dont you pre record a few tracks in a multitrack recorder, plug it through the PA and do your stuff over? Voice and Guitar
Personally I like the fact that each time I record and do it live, it's just that little bit different. I find using tracks or pre-recorded stuff becomes very static really quickly for me, and then I become a bit of a robot playing haha! Awesome for specific live shows where I want something really particular. I did exactly this for a wedding recently where I wanted to lay the groove down in advance at home and have it nicely sorted, then just kick straight into the song. It is a great way to have a polished live show though!
Been using a looper for the last 20 years (the Akai headrush…Boss RC3), still can’t play for toffee
just got the voicelive 3 and still trying to figure out how to strip out all of the effects that every sound is dripping with - as if the default assumption is, you've got a bad guitar and bad voice, let us help you hide : ) but the guitar effect in the factory presets are spectacularly horrible - so it was nice to hear this clean demo - I know its possible now
haha I love this! 😂 everything is dialled up so high for fx etc out of the box eh! Beauty is that everything is adjustable so you can create the sound that you like versus just what it's shipped with!
great video! Great singing and guitar playing. Thanks for posting!
Appreciate the comment! Thanks :)
Thanks really helpful for using tool
very entertaining and educational great job!
Thanks Larry!
Thx David!
Most welcome!
I've got my first loop pedal coming tomorrow. I'm so excited. Thanks for this awesome tutorial :)
Awesome! Going to be so much fun for you! 😎
Some very cool tips and some very cool playing as well. I just can't understand why some people felt the need to hit the thumbs down button. Hey Dave, I'm wondering if (for new loopers like myself...and possibly others here), you would be able to make a video showing what levels you use on the mix knobs on the VL3. For example, do you change these depending on if you're looping with elec gtr or acoustic. Do you keep levels low to record and then just bring them up later if the loop parts are not upfront enough in the mix...although that would be tough to do on the fly. Thank you.
Hey Germain! Sorry I never replied to this mate! I have all of my mix knobs set to 0db. Exactly what you said of trying to change these on the fly - would be super difficult live. When I set my presets though - I aim to set them at a level that is nice and balanced for when I'm looping etc. So for a bass guitar setting - i make sure that the output level on that preset is going to be a good match to record on my loops, once I've recorded my acoustic guitar work. Hope that helps! :)
Hey David, I had forgotten about this lol. Thanks for getting back to me on this though, that's great. You are awesome.
@@germain3588 all good! haha no worries - sorry it took aaaages haha!
You're incredible David! Certainly something to strive for! Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou so much! 😊
Very useful tips. Thanks! You're a good teacher.
Thankyou 😊
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! Did not mind the length at all!!!
sweet! Glad you liked it :)
Nice one David. Thumbs up! I have 2 cheap looper pedals from NUX (china) but they are both single loopers. This video has encouraged me to do more with them and my acoustic. Like your Takamine btw. TC Electronics Helicon range are nice products (judging by performance and features) but too expensive for me. Gr8 tepps ty ; )
Thanks! Can your two single loopers connect to each other? Hopefully you can get creative and come up with some new ideas :) ...yeah, the Voicelive 3 is pretty pricy, but cool to hear you have some loop pedals already and can experiment!
Excellent!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for sharing this, David
you're most welcome!
Our tracks have a fix structur. Only one chance to get the loop right😁
The good and the bad side of running Ableton haha! 💪
Cool!! I enjoy Looping tremendously! Got ask about the elephant in the room tho’…🤨about doing and uploading your take on Looping using cover tunes;…any RUclips Copywriting hits /complaints or reprimand on that!!?? Are you STILL doing things this way?? 😳WE ALL NEED TO KNOW!! NOW!! Great Video on the wonderful world of Looping Fun!! ✨🎸🎙🎛🔊👍🏾😃
no elephant in the room haha. You're welcome to upload whatever song or cover you wish, and youtube will notify the original owner. Copyright owner has the choice to leave it up and put ads on it if they wish or to have it removed as they choose. Hope that helps!
@@davidshanhun Thanks!! ..for the reply!! v(‘ _ ‘ ) That does help! So we are “Free” to cover cool tunes and perform them live or otherwise and NOT be hit with any crap right!?? I LOVE Looping so much,..it has given us Pro or not Musicians a chance to get more exposure and perform in these trying times!! Also,..to improve on our Musicianship! I’ve got three different types of Loopers and enjoy working them all. Have made and worked on MANY tunes/hits to cover in shows (Plenty if FULL MicroSD cards!) in a wide variety of Genres and will begin my own uploads to my RUclips channel soon,.. now that I know it’s issues are covered!! Whew Hoo! b(‘ _
I really like your videos. Could you tell me how do you switch between guitar and auxiliary input without entering the utility menu? Thank you!
