What makes this vid great to me is i see someone who actually got a piece of gear out of the box and learning to use it on cam AND having a good time doing it. This was a good watch dude ty.
This is definitely a powerful writing tool and once mastered, can create one of the coolest modern live shows (especially since Marc Rebillet has gone viral). I used to love writing with my TC Electronics Ditto but now I primarily use Ableton with a footswitch when I’m writing with loops. Awesome content as always!
I've used the Boss RC 300 and a few others.... My favorite though...the AX8 effects pedal. It's an amp modeler with a looper. The sounds on it are insane. I sold my amp and all my pedals when I got it. Look up the online ratings, it's a masterful piece of equipment. I do like that bass effect alot though!
Holy crap you're the battle rapper Circa! Your battle with Jordan is one of my favorites of all time! And you sing? And play guitar? And give gear breakdowns? Wtf?! Keep killing shit, bro! I battle in Orlando now and play music, I was up in the air about the 505 but I'm definitely buying one of these today!
“I’m not gonna bore you with the manual.” 6:00min *whips out the manual* Hahahaha great video 6min in! I just bought one of these Willy nilly while I was drunk.... drunk purchases are real. I’ve read up on these units quite a bit, as well seen/listened to some of my favorite musicians use them. I can’t wait to tinker around with it, and your video so far is great!! Thanks for the tutorial!
No love for the Boss-Rc2 because it’s the glitch Time to get the 505 Thanks for showing the default rhythm patterns on the 505, no other videos I saw did.
I've been eyeing this thing for a while... It's been out since at least 2013 (amazon listing date). I keep checking youtube reviews and google for the latest and greatest looper station I can use with a midi keyboard, guitar and a mic. Nothing new pops up. This and a floor pedal version more for guitarists from boss (303?) always shows up as the fanciest thing on the market. Thank you for confirming I can use it with a guitar. Hard to find videos of that. The floor pedal loop station has an expression pedal but less tracks, I think. Now I just have to find someone using it with a guitar and an amp. New subscriber. Good demo.
Look up DOVYDAS, he uses it on the floor and on a table with guitar and synth as a solo act. He is real good. I also bought one as a guitar player. Its amazing, MIDI is also very powerful. I control it and a Roland GR 55 from a Zoom G9 2tt via midi. Super powerful tool !!
Snagged one of these bad boys. Was interested after seeing Masego use this as the center of his live show and your review put me over the edge. Thanks, Circ!
You were one of the main guy's that talked me into buying one of these, and let me tell you something, I am so glad that I did. If you want to hear how the Roland JD-XI sounds with this thing, then check out my SBN Music Videos section in the playlists section on my channel right here. I just started to learn how to master these two machines together. It is CRAZY! Thanks for talking me into buying this bad boy. Check out my melodies. Welcome and enjoy!...SBN
Even though I don't make music in the electronic realm I find that playing around with gear like this is a creative goldmine for writing new ideas and getting myself out of my usual box. Anyone else in the same boat?
You have approached this very differently. All other videos I have seen have focussed on looping performance. Your comment regarding setting about learning new gear, aiming directly towards achieving personal objectives, is absolutely born out here by the way you approached working with this box. However, the level of complexity here is easy to dismiss. You only get the returns based on the effort you put in to finding the features that work for you. My 505 has been in its box for more than 3 years and I really need to take it away on holiday with me to have the time and head space to learn how to use it.
Don't do much of the music side of our business, it was very interesting learning how a Loop Station works-didn't realize you could do so much with the loop station. Plus a bonus to listen to Circa play guitar and create music!
I use this mainly for the effects right now, and they are phenomenal, especially with and adding onto the Roland JD-XI effects as well. My goodness, these two machines keep me instantly, and constantly INSPIRED! May you be as inspired by my SBN Music Videos also...SBN
Not my niche, although this is such a great delivery of the content. The examples of how to and demonstration of the tools your reviewing are brilliant!
Wonderful tutorial. I finally found the name of this machine after seeing it in the FKJ Tadow video then seeing it again in Marc Rebillet’s videos then looking up his set up. He had a video of his whole set up and I found it and I’m sooo hyped to get one. Couldn’t sleep tonight and was watching live music stuff and thought maybe there’d be a good tutorial out there for this looper and viola. Great stuff. I subscribed. Thank you.
Cool live tool! I've been looking into looping controllers, BOSS have always made dope controllers for this, so going to check it out myself when I get down to my local music shop!
This was very useful. What do you need to make it work? I know you need the microphone and the instruments you want to record but, do you need another power unit or anything else to connect it to?
Wow, I'm used to hearing you talk, never heard you sing live ! This is so cool: love your voice and you almost convinced me to shell out the 500$ ! And I love the song. A little bird told me you're gonna tour Europe: where can I find the dates ? ;)
@@musicmarketing Ahahah, now I know why Ed (Isola) was so surprised when I asked him you were going on tour 😂😂😂 So, man, let us know the dates of your honeymoon LOL If you need tips fo Hamburg just ask ;)
Wow awesome song my friend lovin those lyrics. Came upon your video after searching for videos on the RC-505 and it was well worth watching this professionally edited, well put together informative video. Keep up the good work bro.
Oh nice, I have a TC VoiceLive2 and I've wanted to know about the Boss Loop Stations. The VoiceLive2 is extremely limited (I know its primary function isn't to be a loop station). Thanks soo much for this review! Might have to borrow one from a mate to give it a go!
I’m new to this so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I have a Mac and a microphone. If I buy this looper, what other equipment and or software would I need to start my looping journey?
Im gonna be honest , before watching this video I never thought I’d use this type of equipment. But now I’m seriously considering it for my song writing !! Question , can you upload a premade beat onto the device and then record the vocals so you can play with it from there ?
3 public questions: 1- he said it makes a guitar sound like a bass. But can it make a bass sound like a guitar? (I'm a novice bassist.) 2- do I NEED to buy a microphone, even if I don't want to add vocals? 3- appears that you can make a full song, performed solo. But does it store/ record each song, & if so, where is the total song stored to?
we said ooo at the same time on the grungey vocal effect lol I've been wanting one of these and your demo as a plug-n-play looper is well done! PS: LOVE your voice man!!!
Hi, thanks for the great review! I'm a legally blind musician and I'm wondering how much you have to look at the display during performance. I need a tool I can use in my live sets just by touching it and not looking at it. Could you please tell me your opinion? (maybe is the TC Helicon better for my purpose?) Thanks a lot and respect!
My boy was a battle rapper too, Eleagle Being - not sure which circuit. But point being, battle rappers are some creative ass individuals so I'm not surprised at the multi-talented'ness. Keep on!
how do we make a perfect loop ? I mean when i record a loop with my roland JDXI ( not in midi just in audio) and I am listening to the recording, when the loop start again, always i hear a ... time lag ... annoying 1/4 second ?
The only way around that is to stop your pattern or loop on the jd xi right before the loop starts again, and it helps if you put it the measures before hand so you don't have to stop the looper at the samr time. Another thing is to either set your play/stop to record/overdub or record/stop. I personally use the record/overdub in everything that I want to have a reverb tail at the end, but I know what you mean, you might not want that in the beginning of the loop. The other way around that is to put it into record/play mode, so when you stop the jd xi patterns or sounds it doesn't bleed into the beginning of the loop, and if you want that reverb tail, you have to have a track effect on that sound in order for their to be a reverb or delay when you stop the track or tracks. If you need help explaining, I'm here. I don't have midi yet, but maybe there is a way to get it spot on with one controlling the other and commanding it to stop at the end of the loop, so you can have that perfect timing. I know it drove me a little crazy at first, but I found a method to get it pretty close.
HI, Anyone know if the Nektar Pacer will control the Boss Rc 505, allowing for Rec/Stop/Overdub/start for each track? i.e. One foot switch per Boss Rc 505 Track (with complete control). Apparently the Boss FCB1010 can do this but only by connecting or replacing a chip inside the Boss Hardware. Whereas the Roland FC-300 can achieve it all straight out of the box, or so I have read in forums (relating to the RC-505).
8:50 so when you're using your mic into the loop station.. a question popped up to me. As a drummer, if I recorded with an overhead mic into the looper would it sound OK? this is an idea for my guitar buddies so that they can take my drum beats home to practice with.. I'm trying to find a solution for what I want, and my band mates. I want to be able to loop my lead and rhythm guitarists stuff through a half stack at my house to drum along to for practice when my band mates can't come over. I also want my lead and rhythm guitarist to be able to go home and practice with my drum beats, and the guitar lines. (rhythm guitarist to be able to practice with lead guitar lines and my drums beats at his house, - lead guitarist able to practice at his house with rhythm guitarist lines and my drum beats) I want something that will sound great, have a good amount of recording time (at least 1.5-2 hours minimum), and for us to be able to save new guitar riffs to a PC for safe keeping.
Ive been druming for about 11 years your drum mic mixer should have a instument out which you could route through here and should sound exactly like your recordings already

Great review. I never knew Circa could sing. Wow, worth watching just to hear his voice. Sweet.
I own the 505, from experience, it’s a great looper
oh shitt didn't realize there was a NEW Boss looper. That's the one Marc Rebillet uses if I'm not mistaken??
ayyy shoutout Basic Printer!!
Yup! That’s the one. And this thing has been around since at least 2014
Yeah, hopefully he's getting kick backs from Boss.

It seems better and more user friendly then the loop pedals I’ve seen but I’d had to try it out myself (love that funky vibe circ!)
Its definitely more user friendly to have that nice screen to see your settings as opposed to the RC-3
Glad you dig the sound!
Very cool! Fun watching you experiment and explain what you're experiencing. Also, dope sounding track you were putting together there!
I'm glad you dug it man! Definitely had to fumble through (manual came in super handy)
Great product! One of my favorite people using it right now is Marc Rebillet
Sweet video! I’m a looper myself, but I use the Boomerang phase III, which I absolutely love.
With the 2.0 update on the device, you can have 2 effects at the same time. There are some limits. It also gives some new features
Sounded like " Just the Two of Us" thanks I await my pre ordered RC 600
You have a great singing voice. Very unique. Thanks for your demo of both!
thanks bob. Hope it helped!
Not a big loop guy myself, though it can be a lot of fun, but BOSS is the way to go.

Great video. Just missed one someone was selling $100! I may pay the new price after watching this video.
Love your sound man ! Killer review. Splendid!

Interesting approach to a review :) Also, really loving the production quality on this channel!
that is the exact video which i was looking for...thanks man!
There is a 2013 Full Compass video on the Boss RC-505 Loop Station. I guess its been around for a while. No competitors.

This was very useful.
What do you need to make it work? I know you need the microphone and the instruments you want to record but, do you need another power unit or anything else to connect it to?
Not sure if you found out by now, you can apply 3 different input effects at the same time
Thanks Splices! We threw the firmware update into this thing and it's unlocked a fair amount of new features =)

none!
