Start recording
►
When you are ready to start recording, press
the footswitch associated with REC A (the
Harmony/Drive footswitch) to begin recording
your first Loop Track. You can sing, play your
guitar, or do both.
►
When you reach the end of the segment
you want to record, try to press the REC A
footswitch as close to the beat as you can.
Our LoopAssist feature helps with this, but try
to be as accurate as possible.
Set + Overdub versus Set + Play
►
While recording your first basic loop, you will
see two new options on the screen:
Set + Play and Set + Overdub
►
To finish recording the current loop and imme-
diately have it played back, tap the footswitch
associated with
Set+Play
(Harmony / Drive).
Your new loop will be played back.
►
To finish recording the current loop and im-
mediately go into overdub mode (allowing you
to record additional takes over the first one),
tap the footswitch associated with
Set+ODub
(Double / Comp).
Your new loop will be played back, and you
can record additional takes. This is a great
feature to use if you have rehearsed your loop
performance and want to quickly build up loop
components on top of one another
Overdubbing
►
For this example, let us end your first basic
loop recording by tap the footswitch associat-
ed with Set+Play (Harmony / Drive).
You should hear your loop (Loop Track A)
playing back.
Next, let’s overdub something on Loop Track A.
If you think of your Loop Track A as a cake, that
first recording is the base Layer of the cake, and
overdubs are more layers of cake, or jam, or
whipped cream…
Mmm. Cake.
►
When you are ready, press ODUB A (Harmo-
ny/Drive footswitch) and record an overdub.
►
When you are finished, press END ODUB
(Harmony/Drive footswitch).
Ready for overdubbing
