Re: THE BEST OF THE BEST LOOP STATIONS



Hi Z....

Thanks for Your reply.
In reply to Your question: 'What do You want to use it for?'
I have to say again:
"I basically want a loop station with all
the bells and whistles that allows
excellent sound recording, layering and
playback and that doesn't have software
and or hardware problems.  I'm playing
a lot of actual hand percussion and the saxophone
and want to multi-track record with effects if desired."
If this answer is not technically sophisticated enough,
then help Me to give You more detailed information
by asking Me questions that will clue You in.
I'll put it this way:  the Boss RC505 (five hundred and five) looks very complete
and it seems to be the go to machine for basic looping with
all the bells and whistles, but I've heard that Boss looping
stations can be and have been problematic.  So if the RC505
doesn't have any problems, is it the go to loop station
as of June 2013?  If not, then what is the basic looping station
with all the bells and whistles that's totally reliable for laying down multiple
tracks with crystal clear recording and playback?

Thanks,
Michael

Hehe, I guess everyone here will agree 'loopstations' should be understood as a family of instruments, like 'wind instruments' that include saxophones..
Again, how do you plan to use it?

Thanks Andy for Your reply.
I am a total novice regarding looping.
I've seen live looping done by a very accomplished
looper named Mihirangi.  She uses an RC50,
but in researching that machine, I found that it's
somewhat dated and then found that there are
many complaints about the RC50, and this makes
Me wary about Boss products.

There must be a go to loop machine or station that
is the agreed upon standard as of June 2013 and I'm simply trying
to learn what that standard is.
I'll give You an anology: for saxophones, if someone said
the Yamaha 62 Tenor is an excellent, safe horn to go with,
probably 95% of saxophone knowledgeable folks would agree.
It's simply a good horn that is well made and has a very reliable track record.
I'm interested to know the equivalent for a looping machine/station.
Thanks, Michael
