Thank you so much! This set up is a life saver!

Cool idea!!! Btw, you were talking about not having as much control when using the send/return but imho you would have more control. Plug your instruments in the appropriate channels, connect fx send from mixer to looper input, connect looper output (two cables) to a free input stereo channel and send the main output of the mixer to two speakers. What is the disadvantage of that? You can then even control which instruments go through the looper and which ones dont.

@Artemago

That certainly works fine and may be preferable for your application. But you would have to make two separate mixes: one for looper using fx sends and one for mains using faders. This is not necessarily disadvantageous. It all depends on how you wish to use and control your inputs. I specifically meant that you would have more control over the return signal if run through a stereo channel than run through an fx return.

Great video.. You can explain things very well...

Papi, if you use the send and return feature of your mixing board, you can send the signal to the looper and return it to a dedicated channel so you can control the volume on the board and still use the remaining channels for multiple inputs. This allows you to send a stereo signal to your main PA speakers.

Hi really good video. I’ve got the same mixer and use the same technique using alt 3 4 into my looper. So does using that switch solve the problem with the effects? Not sure Thanks. P.s. I don’t really use the effects on the mixer so hadnt come across that problem but your right it does seem wierd.

Very good video thanks for the information. Please explain why you went to the second method of routing. Was that because you were able to use effects with the second method but not with first?

@Artemago

Жыл бұрын

Effects can be used in both methods and can be applied either before the looper per input channel or to the loop return channel as a whole (or both simultaneously). Using the second method, particularly with this board, allows me to easily switch what goes to looper or what goes straight to Main by pressing the Mute/Alt3-4 button. Usually when playing a lead or solo, I send the guitar straight to Main. It sounds a bit better-punchier-and avoids going thru the processing of the pedal. I can also choose to send the effects to Alt 3/4 or main with the FX routing switch which allows me to apply the FX pre looper or post looper. And, routing thru Alt3-4, allows for stereo operation.

In further review of your video I am going to not go through the effects aux channels. Thanks again for your knowledge and skills of looping using a mixer. 👍👍

@Artemago

Ай бұрын

Aux outs are quite standard on mixers and are either pre(fader) or post(fader). Pre aux sends are normally used for monitor mixes so that moving the fader won’t affect the monitor mix. Post aux sends are typically used for outboard processing such as FX, EQ, etc., so that moving the fader will also affect the signal being sent to the processor(s). Alt outputs are similar to subgroup outs, except that you can usually assign a channel to the main output and subgroup output(s) simultaneously. The XENYX X1204USB mixer you see here does not allow you to simultaneously send the signal to the main outs and Alt outs. Yet you could use the Alt outs as a subgroup by routing the Alt outs into an Aux return to get it to the mains. There are a variety of mixers, but most do the same thing-combine (mix) and route audio signals. Normally mixers of this size and larger do have at least one stereo subgroup or one stereo alt out. I think this is a fantastic analog mixer. It has lots of flexible routing options and features at this price point.

All good if you want it in mono? It's not stereo signal your sending so it can never be anything else?

I attempted to use this solution with my Boss Gigcaster 8. Unfortunately I get feedback :( Does it matter if the cable is Mono or Stereo?

I have a cheaper mixer without separate fader controls for main left and right outputs. I will try this config out but it means I will need to control the inputs and the outputs more carefully to ensure a good mix of levels. I will make sure to buy mixers with left and right stereo faders going forward.

@Artemago

Even some top notch mixers have only one Main fader. In that case you will be obligated to send equal signals to both L and R channel outputs. I do like having individual controls for the L and R mains

You should send both right and left main outputs to the looper pedal in other to record a stereo audio from the mixer. You can do that either connecting to cables in control room outputs or by a split Y cable from phones output using a stereo 1/4 inch plug at one side and 2 mono 1/4 inch plugs at the the others right/left sides of the Y split cable. The way you connected will send a mono audio to the looper.

I am aware. The problem with the setup you propose is that the main out, control/phones out, and 2 track out are all the same. So if you run any of these back into the board, you will be doubling the original input signals which are already going out to the main outs directly. In order to run stereo, and avoid this issue, the board will have to have 2 sub outputs. Or use method 2 in this video, but use both sub outs for L and R stereo.

The hook up for the RC 50 is the same as the RC 1 that is in the video. According to what I see online of the back panel of the RC 50 (I don't have one), I would hook it up like this: MAIN OUTPUT R(MONO) of RC 50 to any open mixer channel line input and INPUT INST R(MONO) of RC 50 to MIXER MONO OUTPUT (L or R, whichever is NOT going to speakers). This will only work for a MONO signal setup which is fine for most live performance situations.

Good Idea. Thank you for this interesting tutorial. I want to do it in a same way. Need this also for live perfomance, only playing guitar tunes and vocal`s,... in live real time.

If the midi drum machine is a separate device than the looper, then , yes, they would need be synchronized. Otherwise if you set a drum beat and press the loop pedal even just a fraction of a second off beat, then this difference would increase more and more every time the loop came around until they were off time.

Hi there. I'm about to get the rc-500 next month (can't back down on the deal) and my mixer doesn't have an aux channel, just the FX (MG10XUF by Yamaha). Luckily the mic and guitar are not stereo and I'm using a Bose S1 speaker. But if I wanted to use two active speakers? The one thing that comes to my mind is plug mic and guitar (e.g., ch1 and 3), get the signal to the RC-500 via monitor out, then from the looper back into the mixer to a free chanel. In the end the speakers would be connected to main out. Read somewhere that that's a great way to bust your speakers. Can you tell me if you tried this method or if it's true? Thank you for the video. Take care

@Artemago

Жыл бұрын

I happen to have a MG10XUF at the moment, and I have 3 solutions for you. The first will only work mono. The second and third will work mono or stereo but will be described for stereo operation; to run mono in either 2) or 3), use only the L inputs/outputs. I recommend method 2). 1) Apply method 1 as in the video. That is, send stereo out R to RC500 and stereo out L to Bose S1. Send output of RC500 into the L input of any one of the stereo channels (5/6, 7/8 or 9/10), and pan this channel all the way L. Then pan all channels that you want to feed into the RC500 all the way R. 2) Send Stereo Outs to RC500. Send RC500 outputs to 9/10 with the line/USB button out/up (for line input operation) and the To Mon/To ST button out/up (sending signal to Monitor). Now connect Monitor Outs to Bose S1 with the Stereo Mute button on Monitor/Phones knob in/down (to mute the ST group from the Monitor out). If this button is left up, then you will get double signals from Monitor out--one from the ST and one from 9/10; this is not preferable. The Stereo fader will now control the signal sent to the RC500, and the Monitor/Phones knob will control the output to the Speakers (Bose S1). The 9/10 channel fader will control the level sent to the Monitor group, preferably set to Unity or 0. 3) Similar to 2) but with Stereo Outs going to speakers and Monitor outs going to RC500, and with this method there is no way to prevent the doubling of the signal as in 2). In other words the ST out will have the original signal plus the signal going through the loop pedal. Send Stereo Outs to speakers. Send Monitor Outs to RC500. Send RC500 outputs to 9/10 with the Line/USB button up/out and the To Mon/To ST button in/down. Also you will need the Stereo Mute button out/up in order to send the ST signal to the Monitor Outs to the looper. The cleanest method will be 2), Method 1) will work well also. Concerning connecting multiple S1 speakers together (or other powered speakers): In order to hook two or more speakers together in MONO, daisy chain them; connect sound signal into channel 1, with the tone match switch to OFF (this will be for LINE level operation like the signal coming from a mixer), then connect the LINE OUT from the first speaker to channel 1 of the second speaker, and so on. Concerning busting the speakers...Most damage to equipment comes from improper operation. Take care not to input too much signal into the speaker. The S1 has an indicator light that will flash RED when the signal is clipping. If the light is RED, then you must reduce the signal feeding the speaker i.e. from the mixer. As long as you do not clip the signal or allow feedback or similar frequencies to perpetuate for some time, then the speaker should last a long time. The output from the mixer feeding the speaker should not exceed Unity or 0. I also recommend that the volume on the speaker be set and kept at 12:00 or in the middle for optimum performance. Adjust the overall volume from the mixer fader/knob feeding the speaker.

@ElPapi dude... Thank you so very much... I mean, what more could I ask for? A few things just to clarify, I think it will really help other people; the option #3 was in fact the 1st that came to my mind but as you pointed out it's very flawed because I can't assign a specific channel to the monitor output. Watching a sound engineer's channel (ketter something if I'm not mistaken but not that hard to find, just Google for Yamaha MG10XUF => videos and those will come up) the dude spoke of a feature that the MG10UFX has and the MG10XU doesn't, that's the PFL. According to him you can assign channels to the phones output of your choosing. Bare in mind that I haven't tested!!! So it got me thinking that if I'd connect the mic to ch #1 and guitar to ch #3 and then toggle those PFL feature on, only those 2 channels would be out. Then I could run that output into the RC500 and from it back to a mixer's channel (let's take ch #2 as an example). In that fashion there wouldn't be any loop, so in theory the mic and guitar would be FX processed before getting into the looper (which is what is wanted), then assuming that there wouldn't be a significant lag, it made some sense in my mind. As for the blown equipment, I can't really tell you where I read about this matter but the principle behind it it's an electronic one. So according to that person (which unfortunately didn't take note) the signal would have polarity, meaning that an outputed signal getting back to the mixer would create some sort of short circuit which in term would make my speakers blow on spot. What are your thoughts on that? Lastly I thought of simply place the rc500 between the mixer and the speakers by simply connect the stereo output (mono in the case of using just one speaker) into the instrument input of the rc500 and then from the output of it to the speaker(s). The thing is, would the rc500 cope with the amount of signal from the mixer? Again, what are your thoughts on this? And once again sir, thank you so much. Respect!

@@nunomiguelgomes2713 PFL stands for Pre Fader Level. It is used for gain staging (signal input gain metering or level set) purposes before the fader but post EQ. It is not intended to be used as a routing or as a bus/group send. Option 3) is not terrible and will work but you'll just have two of the same signal coming out of the ST outs. This will make it sound louder, and it can create some undesirable phase issues. Furthermore, sending a signal out of then back into a mixer through a pedal or device with a DAC (digital analog converter), will produce a small lag, though it should be less than 2ms, which for practical purposes is negligible. Remember that electrons travel near the speed of light, which is why you don't hear a delay when sending them through a cable from your guitar to an amp or mixer. What does cause signal lag is the conversion from Analog to Digital then back from Digital to Analog. But as stated before, this lag is minimal. Blowing the speakers as you've stated is rubbish. I've not blown the first one yet. What will damage speakers is sending the speaker excessive frequencies that it is not made to handle, like those caused from feedback and input clipping distortion. Connecting the RC500 between the mixer and your output speakers is certainly an option, but it will have its own limitations and drawbacks. For instance, volume control sent to the speaker will now have to be adjusted from the RC500, because increasing the master fader feeding the RC500 may clip its input. And typically these units are designed to be run in chain with other pedals and have an instrument level output, which may not be loud enough to be amplified by powered speakers without an input selection switch as the S1. Would the RC500 cope with the signal from the mixer? The outputs of a mixer are mostly all LINE level at +4dB, so if it can handle it in the aforementioned situations then it can handle it. What is important to note when chaining or connecting pieces of equipment together is gain staging at every device. That is, be sure that the output signal from one device is not overloading or clipping the input of the next.

Noise? All?

I did not address this in the video, but keep in mind that guitar pedals are meant to receive a Hi Z instrument level signal, whereas the outputs of pro audio are typically Lo Z line level. The impedance difference should not be that big of a problem. The level difference, though, can be enough to overload the pedal for it not to work properly. Basically the signal feeding the guitar pedal may be too hot (loud). This will usually translate to distortion or poor quality sound. You may be able to compensate by decreasing the level feeding the pedal from the main fader, but because this also simultaneously controls the other main out, the level there will decrease also. To use guitar pedals more seamlessly with line level signals, a reamp box is used. This device converts loZ balanced line level to hiZ unbalanced instrument level. But they are somewhat pricey. Some pedal manufacturers will accept line level no problem (boss is one); others will not. I am unsure about TC electronics as I don’t have one.

If output is going to amp be aware that main mixer outputs are LINE level so be sure your amp can receive line level inputs. With both of these setups you can output the mixer signal to whatever device you want-monitor, powered speaker, recording interface, another mixer, etc

I’m not sure I understand the question. But it sounds like you want to use your fender amp as an effects processor? If so, then you can likely accomplish this by using the phones out, but you’ll need some adapters, specifically a stereo 1/8” to 1/4” and maybe a splitter.

Thank you. Does this Behringer have USB port for recording?

Should work like you said. Just be mindful about which side L or R you are sending your signals and connect accordingly. The control room knob will then control how much is being sent back into the mixer on your open channel.

@@lecapitole5663 Looking at the 1002 it appears not. You could certainly hook it up in stereo but then your mains will have the signals from the original channels PLUS the signal coming from the looper into a channel; this will essentially double the signal. To run stereo you will need a mixer with groups or sub outputs that can be selected so that you can control where the output of each channel is going. You will, however be able to run it mono in your setup utilizing the pan to separate the signals

And, If running stereo, the channel with the loop which is fed from control room will be sending itself back to the control room creating a feedback loop. Separating input and output signals by using the L and R channels will be your only option with this mixer, but this means your signal will be mono

Hey man ! I’ve got an electro voice evolve 30m and rc 505 mk2 . And to be honest can’t loop multiple instruments using instruments in mixer . Can you at least tell me if that even possible without another mixer ? Thanks

@Artemago

2 жыл бұрын

Another mixer is not needed for what you want to do. The RC505 mk2 is a 5 track looper/mixer. It has 2 Mic inputs and 2 stereo instrument inputs. With the 505 as a mixer/input device and the evolve 30m for output, you have all you need to loop multiple instruments and listen to it. Learning how to use a multi-track looping device, or any electronic equipment for that matter, takes time. And if you have not read the user manual for the 505 or the 30m, then I strongly suggest doing so. I have learned much from reading and studying the user manuals for the devices that I have used throughout the years.

Incredible, you are a master, greetings from Nicaragua, Central America, I wanted to know how to connect an RC-300 to the 1202fx console and make all the channels LOOP, using the FX, but without losing the effects of the console, just bring the loop signal to the console, I don't know if I make myself understood, bring the loop pedal signal to the console, but continue using the effects of this same console, I would appreciate your help

Hola amigo. With the 1202fx you will be limited to using method 1 as in the video. If you try to use FX send then this will bypass the onboard FX which I think you don’t want to do. Instead use the stereo panning to split the signal as desired as shown in the vid

@Artemago

Ай бұрын

I’m using an acoustic guitar with a preamp built in which provides a line level signal out and can be plugged directly into the mixer line in. I’m assuming you have an electric guitar. From what I can tell, the Spark 40 has no line out, so in order to get the sounds of the amp, it will have to be mic’d. You could use a DI box to get the guitar signal into the mixer directly, but this will be a clean signal straight from the guitar without amp tones. To get the tone of the amp, you will need to mic it.

Yes, it is certainly possible, and may, in fact, be better in certain situations. I address why I chose not to do this in the description.

You keep saying that you are sending it out to the mains… mains being plural which would be more than one. You are only sending a signal to a main. One speaker.

This is nonsense Papi and not well thought through. 😝 Try this: Connect the Alt3/4-outputs to the stereo inputs of the RC-1 looper. Connect both outputs of the looper to Aux-Returns of the mixer. And finally connect the mixer‘s main outputs to preferably two speakers. With this setup you‘re not sacrificing the stereo capabilities and you will have a signal on both ears using headphones. Also you can use all 6 channels of the mixer board. This will come in handy in live situations and when people are more talented than you. Also if they have a better looper (because they are more talented and make more money). 😁 If you want to record a track, just press the Mute3/4 button. If you want to record effects, just press the corresponding button. This is also failsafe, as you can‘t create feedback loops, as with your first suggestion. And once you learned a little more and earn more money, go get a multi track looper. This setup will work as well, even though you will want to go directly to the speakers from the loop station, as you can control the volume with a foot controller. 😀
