My RC-600 Workflow
6,249
Published 2024-03-29
This is an overview of my looper settings and how they work together to create the workflow I use in my loops. This talks a lot about the way various settings interact and the way it lets me do pretty fancy transitions without having to have perfect timing to execute my loops.
This is my second instructional video, and I hope you get some value out of it. If you saw my first instructional video, you can probably skip ahead to the settings at 4:38. And please ask any questions you have, and constructive feedback is extremely welcome!

I watched dozens of RC 600 reviews and this is hands down the most useful video on how to use the gear. Exactly what I was looking for as a beginner looping artist. Thank you!
-
Thanks! Super useful
-
I'm so glad I found this video. I've had the RC -600 for a while now and there is a steep learning curve here. There are a lot of videos out there, but this is my favorite so far. I really like the way that you presented your work flow. It was not rushed, and it was explained very well. Keep up the good work Rick! This video helped me a lot!

Please make a video on how to setup Rhythm variation in a song

Great video. The best explanation of the RC 600 functions by far. I am about to pull the trigger on this kind of setup. Great work!
-
I'm glad yt suggested me this one, I searching from time to time sth on rc600. I found your video inspirational, attractive and professional. Thanks for that!

That's a great video, very well done. Just for the sake of discussion: on the basic workflow, if you set tracks 2 and 3 to single mode, this is why, how and when you use single mode: while track 3 is playing you hit record/play on track 2 and you can immediately record the chorus part while you sing it and nobody sees you do it, and it happens with a single press. Right now you're having to stop 3 and then start 2, but that's the exact problem single mode solves. I love where you put the all start/all stop, I may steal that one. Thanks, man! Blinding Lights is great!

Really clear and pedagogic! :)

Really great video! Thanks for the thought that went into this!
-
Nice job! I like the Wheel of time books too.

Super helpful thank you for making this video. Not sure if it's possible with your current setup, but learning how incorporate a MIDI keyboard would be great!

Nice vid mate. I don’t have a 600, have the 500 that I’m not real fond of. Now I’m about to try Loopy Pro and see if that works for me. Your vid is making me think again and maybe going the 600 route…hmmmm. Thanks for the info!

Great in depth video, your explanations are very well presented! One thing I did not understand however, is the benefit of having track 1 on Immediate sync instead of measure. I certainly understand the negatives of that, but what benefit does it give you? Why not just have it on Measure as well? Thanks.

Nice work, Rick. This is the second RC600 video of yours I have watched. Great bit of kit. I heard you say that you were avoiding the firmware upgrade to v1.3 for one of the setups. I was curious as to what issues you have had with v1.3? I upgraded my firmware and have had intermittent crashes with the pedal. I had the same issue with v1.2, too. Unfortunately, I can not replicate the crash situation while I have a camera looking at my pedals! Typical! Also, Roland havent updated their manual to include what V1.3 actually adds!😅 I have done a few factory resets with the new firmware, but the last crash wiped out the memory and its settings, including recently changed assigns! 😮

are you a musician? are you an active listener as a musician? Why do you have that incredibly distracting music in the back ground when you are explaining a complicated piece of gear to MUSICIANS?
