Hell yeah, mate. I've been looping with the RC-300 for a year already and this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!!

[New_Zealand_Music]

Thank you so much. For know reason other than to help, takin.g the out of your life to. Thank you very much. It's videos like this, that give you a massive headstart. If something has a lot of menu diving. Or multiple button pushes, brilliant! Have you heard much/or are using the latest model. No personal experience. Heard about bugs and build quality issues. No problems with this one 🙏

Hi Ben, I'm thinking to downsize from RC-300 to a smaller looper. Do you know if any of the newer RC loopers have this functionality?

[MicroChipMonk]

If you have the the Rhythm playing (turned on) Tracks will end recording at the measure length and go into dub or play automatically. If you dont have the Rhythm on and you dont trigger an play or stop before set measure length while looping ....it will re adjust the measure to your recording and throw everything off....I keep Rhythm on and turn down its volume to 0.

[BrankyMusic]

Basically what I'd like to do is: recording a first short 4 bars percussion track, freely without any metronome; then, I'd like to record a longer second track, playing chords while percussions are playing and the moment I stop recording this second track, of course the whole loop should stop exactly after the four percussion bars played, or it could just stop everything when I stop the second track. Is that something that works with the rc-300? Or must the lenght of the second track be tied to the lenght of the first? And if not, does it work with the rc-500?

[gwendolinkirkegaard]

The only problem I get with this method is that the RC300 sometimes guesses my BPM wrong (halftime mostly), which makes it unusable (because unreliable) live. I end up on loops on 45 BPM and such. I don't want to use the build in drum samples to keep the exact BPM however. Is there some trick or way to control that? Like giving the station a range of BPMs it can choose from, but avoiding everything under say 100bpm?

Or is there a way to use Factors (like "channel 2 shall be 4x as long as channel 1") instead of fixed bars that depend on the sometimes buggy auto tap? thx in advance

Hey bro thanks for all this good information !!! What happens if I select the option FREE?

[tomitvn]

Thanks for your good tutorials! I have this problem that when I switch all channels to FREE and first record lets say 2 bar rhythm loop and to the 2nd channel 8 bars of verse that when I try to immediately overdub the verse-track there's like 1-2 seconds of delay/latency before the redub starts! It's like the internal memory takes time to restart the recording. This is makes redubbing practically impossible. Anyone having this same problem or a solution to it?

[onemanultra]

Can anyone help? I'm having a problem with the measures that surely can be fixed. I'll try my best to explain. I'll keep it simple.

Track 1 - 1 measure
Track 2 - 4 measures

After looping my one measure beat into track 1, I then move onto track 2 for a riff.

However, unless I wait for 4 revolutions of track 1, I cant seem to start my riff in the correct place or when I press stop all/start all, it starts halfway through my riff.

Surely my 4 measures on track 2 (and therefore the position of start all) should just start from when I decide to record it, whether that is after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 20, or100 times of track 1 playing?!

I dont know how to better explain that, please help!

Y it doesn't default to this is very frustrating lol

"jump straight to the tutorial"?! Dude, you've already just wasted a perfectly good MINUTE EIGHT SECONDS on Intros and Warmer Uppers. What the Heck?!! Get Straight with "Getting Straight to the Tutorial". Damn.
