Boss Loop Pedal & Micro BR

[The Bear]

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??

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.

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.

That's what I'll do.
Record into my laptop.
The reason I want to use the BR for this is the size.
It's so much smaller than the Black Box I use with the laptop.
Takes up so little room at my recording desk.

Thanks
