Boss Loop Pedal & Micro BR

[The Bear]

New here. I've owned my MBR for awhile now but I'm just getting around to using it.
I have a Boss RC20 XL Loop Station.
Would I be able to use it with the Micro BR?

Thanks

Sure you can. You can actually get great results with it. I am not speaking for myself, as I don't own a loop station, but I know there are a handful of people on here that do use loopers with their Micro BR. Good luck!

I appreciate it.
maybe someone will chime in about how to use together.

No prob! Yeah, hopefully some first-handers will chime in. I guess a lot of the responses would depend on what you want to do with the BR and the looper. What are you thinking...ideas??

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the two units.  I have both, and I've discovered that it's easier to just cut and paste rather than loop (unless you're trying to do something live). 

One fantastic thing I've discovered is to play a guitar solo through the lopp pedal and then re-record it into the BR by hitting the reverse button on the looper.  Voila, you get Hendrixy backwards guitar solos.

Two approaches:

1. Just record whatever comes through the looper.

2. Record a track on the BR then input it into the RC, then jam along.  Saves the time of recording song parts everytime you plug in the RC.  Store them on the BR.

2a. Create a drum loop in the BR and record it into the RC for jamming.

I'm not really sure when I can do it all with the BR.
Stupid newbee question.

I'll have to try that reverse.
Sounds interesting.

One other thing I just thought of.
I use Abelton now with my M-Audio Black Box.
Will I be able to use this software to mix whatever I recorded with the BR .
If so, How do you export from the BR to your mixing software.

I also use an external hard drive for my recordings for the massive amount of space provided.

Yes, you can bring any of the tracks from the BR into your software.  I do it with ProTools and Audacity, just save the track as a WAV, transfer to your PC (By USB or by a card reader), then import/open in the software.

OR connect a stereo mini-plug from the M-BR out put and run a stereo mini-plug into the input jack on your PC and record directly to the software.  I recommend saving each track and moving the file to the PC rather than re-recording.

In this case, you are using the BR more as an effect than a multi-track recorder.  Why not just record directly into your software and skip the BR?  Unless you are using specific effects or are doing a mix of track in the BR, it makes sense to record direct to the PC.
