Angela Sheik, Boss US National Loop Champion, gives a looping basics lesson with the Boss RC-505 Loop Station at Full Compass Systems.

The RC-505 is a unique and powerful live performance tool that's perfect for next-generation loop artists. In a compact tabletop device, you have easy fingertip control of five stereo phrase tracks and various loop playback behaviors, plus INPUT FX and TRACK FX that deliver a wide range of real-time processing options for dynamic, expressive sound creation. Just plug in a mic, instrument, or other audio source, and then ride the intuitive panel controls to build and mix some amazing loops! The RC-505 also supports computer integration via USB and operation with external pedals and MIDI, opening a world of advanced looping possibilities for all types of musicians.

The RC-505 features five stereo phrase tracks that can play simultaneously, the most yet in a BOSS Loop Station. Independent record/overdub/play and stop buttons for each track let you capture and control loop performances with your fingertips, and dedicated volume faders allow you to mix loop levels on the fly. Each track can have its own playback mode (multi, single, one-shot, reverse, etc.) and tempo sync settings, providing an unlimited range of creative looping behaviors.

Great to see the looper being used to create this style of music.

Hello I just purchased this loop station and decided to got to YouTube to get some help with it. Well I clicked on your video it's the first that comes up and I have to say, you have an incredible voice.

[djimma]

One turntable, one mixer + this add plenty of dope cuts and taa daa you have 🔥

[dancingwithnobody]

wow that last song that's so beautiful and creative

[VeeBee]

You sound GREAT and what you did was FANTASTIC! But you didn’t teach this beginner anything! NOTHING!

[vikramsingh]

that was the best teaching :) neat clean & simple thanks a lot really love it :*

[musella]

You have a pretty nice jazzy voice ! Return to the past, in 1940 with the Andrews sisters ! yeah !

[JeffreySaxophoneTallNewton]

Hey Angela, I dig that tune at the start of the video! Nice to hear someone who knows chord changes (1^7, 2^7, 2-7 57) use one of these... Nice phrasing with your voice, too.

[oldirtyjosh]

That’s was a great song you did of a rooster!

[bmoffitt]

amazing machine already have one as a gift I received for a Christmas gift and for those so worried about the functions don't be it's fun easy and a blast for mixing

[polygonrong]

Wish I could learn how to properly use one, I’ve seen some absolute ridiculous loop battles and I’m just in awe of what they can create, oh and I’m skint lol

[el_jefe]

Girl, you don't need that devil machine, your voice itself is so magical and rich.

[jonathanrothmare]

Can somebody help me find more info about getting ine of these i wanna get one. So that i can kinda rotate sounds with my family see what we all make.

[randallwhiting]

How do you get the vocals to record the loop without having the background sounds getting recorded and repeating along with the vocal loop? Trying to use this in a live setting and the vocal loop picks up the background music on the channel which ends up making anying sound muddled and unusable. Great in a quiet room, but how is that useful in a live setting?

[rendermanpro]

Do you know something the same but more modern to 2020? (might be more compact and cheaper)

[thelearningcenter]

It seems difficult to start off running if you have to press the button. Why no count in or "auto detect"? Does anyone have a work around

[AbOrigine]

Hi, how can you prevent the sounds system does not enter into the microphone when you start a new loop?

[alexvozzella]

Question: can you truncate loops with this? I.e. go from 4/4 to 2/4 to 1/4 time sig on the fly?

[HESED]

I love what she is doing! This may be a very basic question but I can't seem to get rid of my voice while using the effects. It always comes out together when I only want the effected voice to come out.. Can any one give me some advice?
