    I am an intermediate player, but a total noob with pedals. Always noodled around on my guitar by myself. I researched a looper pedal for my own enjoyment and this was the one I decided upon.
    Your video is fantastic. I was having a bit of a problem with trying to figure out the settings for myself and you nailed it here. Excellent support video!

    Great video. I appreciated the pace. Overwhelming if someone just took it out of the box, but intuitive if you've played around with it yourself and now have questions that aren't covered in the skimpy instructions that come with the pedal. It's an awesome pedal BTW, way better sound quality than the rc-3, much more diverse rhythm choices, dialable BPM to exactly match any of your favorite songs, completely configurable (love the system and loop programability).

    Thanks, this is helpful. I haven’t found any help with how to actually delete a loop altogether if I’m not satisfied with it. The second loop yes, but the first one just goes on and on. The only solution I’ve found is to unplug the whole device and start over.

    If anyone can help me out I’d appreciate it, I’m looking into getting a looper pedal to play the rhythms in my band so I can play the leads, but how will it work in a band setting? How will it work when going from an intro/verse/chorus etc? Especially if the the song starts with a lead. Are there multiple tracks I can pre record and save them and go back to them at practice?

    Hey Ben, nice videos you do! Very informative!
    Im currently running an RC3 with a Beat Buddy. I like the sounds of the drums on the RC5.
    My question is, can I control the drums from the pedal itself or an external pedal or can you only control the drums from the rhythm button?
    Any help much appreciated !

    I think RC5 is a good loop pedal to start with. Quality, function, price are the best caratheristic. Anyway: is it possible to import a rhythm from a famous song to play along with? How it works the midi in? Is it possible connect for example a microphone or an iPad with a drum pad app? Which are the potentially of midi in/out? Thanks. This is one of best and complete video I have seen about RC5.

    I seem to be getting a second of silence before the rhythm I recorded begins to loop. Kinda messes up the flow of being a “continuous loop” with a second of silence.

    • @chandlermason1796
      @chandlermason1796 3 года назад +2

      Thats due to the space between when you "start" the loop and "end" the loop. If you even stop for 1 beat to hit the pedal it will do that. The best way to stop that from happening is to keep playing through your chords. Example: Am C G Am then when you hit that 2nd Am hit the looper at the same time!

    • @frontcentermusician
      @frontcentermusician 3 года назад +1

      Plug your pedal right into the computer. It will show all the folders. add your WAV 44.1 32 bit floating file there. (NOT MP3!!!) I use mine like you want to and it works great.

  • @N64Guy
    @N64Guy 3 года назад

    But one thing I don’t like is that I filled all 99 memory slots and I backed all of them up so now I’d Love to be able to take all my favorite loops out of those first 99 and put them back on the rc 5, but I just want a few of them back on my rc 5, The problem that I am having is that i am not able to pull tracks individually with the data for that track, as in there is not one data file per track and all the data (tempo, drum track, levels, settings etc……) for each track are contained in the same file, so I can’t take a loop so basically if I want all those settings back I’d have to put all 99 loops back on the pedal and I have tried just taking the wave files out, and it will cause the pedal to glitch out when you go to record on an empty track because it still has that data file on the pedal witch is telling the pedal that there is a track there but it gets confused because there is no wave file so when you hit record it will get stuck on record, this is kinda very unintuitive and a really ass backwards way to go about being able to back up tracks, this complicated problem has a very simple solution, and it wouldn’t be a problem if each track had its own individual data file in the same or different folder of the track, so idk what to do other than just to back up every 99 loops. Maybe it can be fixed in a firmware update, also they need to add a global drum level setting because 100 is too high for a default level at least for me it is, of course I could change it each time I’m on a different slot but it would be really convenient if we were able to set a default level, I’m hoping for a big firmware update in the future because they still have some bugs to workout.
