Hi, is this possible to do - I go on youtube or wherever and find a piece of music or a drum beat and literally just via a phono cable record a piece of that music/beat to the rc3 by the AUX socket, save it and then use that as the first layer of a memory and then i could over dub it as required? For example, the rc3 drum options are basic, so if i found nice drum beats on youtube on my phone, plugged a phono cable into phone earphone socket to the aux socket on the rc3, and recorded it? Could
I then use this as the base layer on a memory and overdub it with guitar etc as required. is that possible to do with the rc3 aux socket? Cause that seems really great if that can be done
- i have the rc5 and its great but the simplicity of the 3 (ie no deep menus- sometimes to many options is a bad thing!) with the AUX if it can be used like i mentioned above, would almost make me get rid of the 5 and get a 3!

Hi Jim, can I also record a track off my iPad into the boss rc 3 ?
I no longer have my Beatbuddy, and wish to incorporate drum tracks I’ve made in GarageBand with my gigs .
Can you easily recall these on the fly with the looper, which I don’t own by the way .
I’m just looking for options, and to be honest not that great with new tech .
And lastly, can you import drum tracks off something like Karaoke Custom backing tracks?
Cheers, and happy to sub too …. Great content! 😊

Learn to use your looper as a song player. Add accompaniment tracks easily to your live performance.

The roadblock i have in that the RC3 requires a .WAV file format. Most backing tracks and music generally use MP3 format or similar. Hence you need a cumbersome yet often inaccurate conversion process to get .WAV files. How do you get around this? Do you have to purchase a DAW and do they support conversion? It is really annoying that Boss does not play MP3.

How about how to load wave files into phase slot unto the pedal. When connected to my computer and I drag and drop a small wave file from my desk top onto an empty slot it doesn't seem to transfer after i disconnect the pedal from the computer. Thx!

Jim,

I think you could possibly pick it up a bit in the video. You could possibly have shown this video in a matter of 30 seconds and been able to complete what you were ultimatel;;y trying to achieve here. Seriously....that was painful in a small type of way. lol

Thanks for the upload though. I STILL have no found my answer on this pedal! Anyway! Have a good day sir.

why not simply transfering a wav file?
