The Looper
VoiceLive 3 – Reference manual (2014-03-29) 81
If you are connected to a PA, you should hear
a Kick Drum Metronome.
– If you don’t hear a metronome sound over
your P.A.:
– Press the Home button.
– Move any of the MIX knobs to access the
Mix page.
– Navigate to the Main Mix page using the Ar-
row buttons.
– Turn up the Metronome Level.
– Press and hold the Layer button to re-enter
the Looper.
– The flashing HIT button now represents Tap
Tempo, so you can tap in a new tempo now
if you wish. While you are tapping, the current
tempo will be displayed.
When you stop tapping, the unit will return to
the main Loop screen.
– If you haven not tapped a new tempo, press
BACK (µMod footswitch) to return to the main
Loop screen.
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 foot-
switch as close to the beat as you can. Our
LoopAssist feature helps with this, but try to
be as accurate as possible.
Set + Overdub vs. 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
